Concerto No. 2 for Bamboo Flute "Wildfire" -2nd Mvt. Concerto No. 2 for Bamboo Flute "Wildfire" -2nd MVT

Performed by: Tang Junqiao. Conductor: Chen Lin. Concerto: Chengdu Symphony Orchestra. Composer: Guo Wenjing.

Guo Wenjing's second bamboo flute Concerto "Wildfire" is another bamboo flute concerto after the first bamboo flute concerto "Melancholy Empty Mountain". The work was commissioned by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and completed in August 2010. It premiered at the New Horizons Festival in Hong Kong on November 5 and 6 with the internationally renowned Chinese dizi player Tang Junqiao, maestro Aido DeWalt and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. The work inherits the composer's character of striving to expand the national instrument, and pursues the character of heavy and sad in addition to the typical character of Chinese bamboo flute, which is clear, bright and elegant. He tried to enhance the symphonic, dramatic and tragic nature of Chinese music, actively let it show anger, trembling and burning emotions, and make it more modern and thoughtful. Guo Wenjing said: "Wildfire lights up the sky in the dark, I see it as a symbol of thought and truth; It is the force that washes away filth and expels evil." From the perspective of playing bamboo flute works, the work expands the possibility of playing bamboo flute, and is a classic piece in contemporary bamboo flute works.
