Remastered in 32-bit, 48 kHz
This video of remastered audio is a thank you to Leoš Svárovský and the Prague Philharmonia for visiting my parents’ native Taiwan. The ensemble toured Taipei, Taichung, Pingtung, and Kaohsiung, performing works by Smetana, Dvorak, Rachmaninoff, and Beethoven. Andrew von Oeyen was the soloist for the soulful Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto.
This particular performance of the Andante con moto movement from Mozart’s 39th symphony was from 2006, conducted by Kaspar Zehdner at the Concentus Moraviae Festival.
Culture, especially music, sees no borders. Music is music.. We all play the same instruments, no matter where we’re from, our upbringings, or our beliefs. To use music as a political tool (in banning ensembles or countries due to disagreements) is simply an unacceptable, coercive practice that stifles the quality of creativity and music-making anywhere in the world. It affects not only the parties involved, but also us all worldwide. We look at such developments and we wonder how such a ban would have been suitable in the spirit of friendship, of morality, of compassion. We make music to bridge all cultures together, not to separate. We make music to preserve the peace worldwide (including in the Taiwan Strait), not to encourage or support conflict or war. This is exactly why I appreciate the Prague Philharmonia’s insistence in defying the politicization of music, because the politicization of music is never in our nature as responsible human beings and musicians. There are times where it should be appropriate to incorporate activism in music for the advancement of liberal and conservative social causes, and there are times (like the ban of non-political entities to advance selfish political gains) where we simply shake our heads.
Hope you all enjoy this one 😊🎵
