After that, I suddenly received her phone call, asking me if I have seen her circle of friends. But I still remained a little confused about what happened at the scene. I could feel the mood of YU Fang intertwined between tension and excitement from YU Fang after reading the text. The shock caused by the cultural collision between East and West will gradually precipitate in history. YU Kuizhi thumbed up to Stefan Ottersbach, it was the bursting applauses out of such aria in the old theatre in Frankfurt… so moved! The essence shows its self-significance as the glory of performance returns to calmness. Integration of Eastern and Western Cultures? The tacit understanding after a day-long co-cultivation, the very right cut of symphony as soon as Master YU Kuizhi finished another free-rhythm 'Endless solitary anger, keeping warm in a temple', creating a sweaty contrast. The whole rehearsal field remained silent, I stopped interpretation with an awkward smile, Master YU Kuizhi held a generous grace, smiling calmly trying to find a cut-point, and Stefan Ottersbach tried to be more flexible and cooperative in a smart and rigorous manner. In more specific, the Germany conductor shouted, throwing the baton on the music stand, 'Nein, nein!” as YU Kuizhi even didn’t finish the first lining 'Snow drifts, bashing into people’s faces with penetrating cold wind'…'This is not going to work!' followed by a statement concerning the meaning of 'Symphony'. In late October, YU Fang, president of Peking University Alumni Association in Germany, sent such a 'graphic'-Ĭollision of Eastern and Western Cultures? In specific, a symphony orchestra accompanied the Beijing Opera, and the conductor was a German, Master YU Kuizhi sung the Snow Drift, a Beijing Opera repertoire, but the conductor was a German man, Stefan Ottersbach (This is the first time ever that I knew that a foreign conductor commanded Peking Opera accompaniment).
