I have often wondered as to why the world seems to keep producing ,so many wonderful Chinese musicians. Is it language, discipline, or simply hard work, or all three? I believe Chinese children learn their language at a tender age through singing. This makes sense, when you consider Chinese requires exact tonal pitch to establish meaning. Such a requirement is unknown in most European languages.
Last Sunday, the monthly CRAG concert was held at Kettering, introduced to our local community, another superb Chinese violinist in the form of Yue-hong Cha.She turned in a wonderful performance in her rending of Dvorak's 'Piano Trio No4 in E minor. A collection of Slavic ballads with that sense of the gypsy, and the steppes pulsing just below the surface. Fortunately for Hobart ,Yue-hong is now playing with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, so we may look forward to heading her play on a regular bases.
Still, this Chinese thing puzzles me, why the constant flow of talented musicians? If any reader has any idea, please let me know.
