Performers: Warren Lee (pianist), Huang Ying (soprano), Ken Lam (conductor), HK Philharmonic
Rating: **** (4 out of 5)
Every autumn, the HK
Philharmonic puts together a programme of Chinese music to celebrate the
National Day of the People’s Republic. It invariably includes one of the two
popular Chinese concertos: Butterfly Lovers for the violin and Yellow River for
the piano. This year was no exception, and the programme comprised the Yellow
River concerto, an overture by composer Shi Wanchun and a number of folk songs
and opera arias. Carrying the baton was Ken Lam, a former corporate lawyer who
found his true calling in classical music and has gone on become one of the
most respected conductors in Hong Kong and beyond.
