http://enquirer.com/editions/2003/08/03/tem_mao03review.html

Extractions: SANTA FE, N.M. - When Chinese-American composer Bright Sheng heard in 1991 that Madame Mao had hanged herself in prison, he knew it was the stuff of opera. Sheng's powerful new opera, Madame Mao , had its highly anticipated world premiere to a standing-room-only crowd July 26 at Santa Fe Opera. Composed to a libretto by the respected director Colin Graham, who also staged it, Madame Mao is one of the most important and courageous operas of the last 25 years. Santa Fe Opera's legacy of commissioning and premiering new opera goes back to Igor Stravinsky's residency here in the late '50s and '60s. New Mexican John Crosby, who died in December, founded the company in 1957. LET US KNOW What was your impression of the Cincinnati Opera season this year?

Meet Composer bright sheng A Composer Who Combines Musical Styles Worlds Apart Article Written by Allan Kozinn, THE TIMES, July 16, 2002, E1.
http://www.nyjpw.org/ev071602.htm

Extractions: Mr. Sheng wasn't sure that an amalgam was possible; indeed, the consensus of his teachers at Queens College and Columbia University was that he should choose one style and stick with it. He took their advice until the late 1980's, when he met Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood and began to study with him. Bernstein encouraged Mr. Sheng's interest in musical cross-fertilization, telling him that "everything is fusion."

Extractions: Crotchet AmazonUK AmazonUS This is a winner. Flute Moon of 1999 starts with exciting string-stirring slightly reminiscent of Shostakovich's forays as in the superb Eighth Symphony. Here Bright Sheng gives us unbridled excitement and music that presses forward relentlessly. The drama is captivating, the scoring flawless and the performance simply stunning. When the piccolo enters the music is even brighter very exciting. Truly spellbinding, fascinating and a real joy. The second piece is often reflective but never dull. The world is full of slow music that is painfully dull. Not this. Full of interesting colours and ideas. The solo flautist is excellent (it is very difficult to play) and the music is very evocative. The use of percussion is a revelation. I cannot imagine the recorded sound being better. And the music scintillates. I cannot fault the work or the performance. A truly amazing experience. Real class, the music is so true to life, so human. All our emotions are there and sometimes only music can express them. Words are often inadequate. The excellent booklet tells us that China Dreams is a symphony in all but name lasting about twenty five minutes. The prelude has two themes both pentatonic. There follows a terrific fanfare with polyrhythms and a breathing space before the shattering climax. Not for the amateur musicians.

As with some of his contemporaries, all in their late forties (Zhou Long, Chen Yi, Qigang Chen, to name but a few), Bright Sheng attempts a reconciliation of Eastern and Western musical traditions while avoiding ready-made formulae. Their approach is on the whole quite similar to Bartóks or Kodalys but Sheng seems closer to Bartók than to Kodaly. He has sometimes been nicknamed "the Chinese Bartók", which has more than a grain of truth. This is particularly evident in the earliest work recorded here

Extractions: [72:33] full-price by William Beh Having attended the concerts which preceded these recordings ( Flute Moon was performed on Jan 22, 2000 ), I can still remember distinctly, on the occasion, being overdosed and underwhelmed on the musical language of Bright Sheng. Listening to it again, after six months, it doesn't seem to sound as underwrought as one recalls. More importantly, this recording might just be the foothold by which Sheng's music can receive some serious critical assessment. Bright Sheng comes from the generation of Chinese-American artists who lived through and survived the Cultural Revolution. Today, they form an active company of composers (including Tan Dun, Chen Yi and Zhou Long) who draw upon both Western and Oriental influences in a fusion of styles, while constantly struggling to refine their craft and pushing back, in so many ways, their boundaries of expression. In their own way, they are a barometric indication of modern compositional tastes and styles. That said, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra is surprisingly conversant with Sheng's unique musical stylings, having had a long association with his music. The relationship goes back as far as 5 August 1994 when they gave the world premiere of
