Cang Ge Yin – a highly famous modern guzheng concerto/杨翘楚&栾景旭 - 苍歌引

《苍歌引》 作曲：陈哲 古筝演奏：杨翘楚、钢琴协奏：栾景旭 《苍歌引》是青年作曲家陈哲于2014年创作的古筝与钢琴协奏曲。该作品的创作灵感源自《尔雅·释天》中“春为苍天”的记载。作品以“春”为主题，描绘万物复苏的景象，表达对生命的敬畏与赞美之情。古时候，人们惯以苍天为主宰万物的神，而春天作为万物伊始的季节，既被喻为一天中的清晨，也被引申为人生中的青春。 Cang Ge Yin (Ode to the Azure Heaven) is a guzheng and piano concerto composed in 2014 by young composer Chen Zhe. The work draws its creative inspiration from the record "Spring is called the Azure Heaven" in Erya · Shitian (Approaching Elegance · Interpreting Heaven). Centered on the theme of "spring", the piece depicts the scene of all things reviving, conveying awe and praise for life. In ancient times, people commonly regarded the Azure Heaven as the deity governing all creation. As the season marking the beginning of all living things, spring was likened to the dawn of a day and also extended to symbolize youth in human life.
