国际著名华人钢琴家郎朗19日晚上受邀前往白宫,在美国总统奥巴马为中国国家主席胡锦涛举办的国宴中进行演奏。在国宴前郎朗接受采访,他表示能在这次具有新时代开启意义的盛会上为两国元首演奏,感到十分的荣幸。
郎朗在昨晚的国宴中演奏了两首作品,一首是法国作曲家拉威尔最具东方色彩的《鹅妈妈组曲》,另一首则为《我的祖国》。
朗朗说,“《我的祖国》是我的想法,因为我想在白宫这样的国宴上面演奏一曲,能把我们作为中国人非常自豪骄傲的心情表达出来这首曲子,我觉得特别好。另外,这首曲子本身我就特别喜欢,每次演奏的时候我觉得都非常动感情。”
One of the highlights of the state dinner was a performance by Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist who has been a sensation in music circles. Mr. Lang played a duet with the American jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, then a haunting traditional Chinese melody called “My Motherland.”
In China, it turns out, “My Motherland” is better known as the theme from the film “Battle on Shangganling Mountain,” a 1956 Chinese classic about a Korean War battle in which a vastly outnumbered band of Chinese soldiers held off American and United Nations forces for 42 days.
If, in retrospect, “My Motherland” might seem to be a regrettable choice for a state dinner, it clearly was unintentional. Mr. Lang, an American-trained pianist who divides his time between the United States and China, is an artist who melds American and Chinese cultures.
