東南網(wǎng)12月11日訊（本網(wǎng)記者 鄧春花 黃藝 林佳慧 劉暢 鄭思源 鄭皓天 圖/文） 福建交響樂團(tuán)攜《土樓回響》大型交響音樂會澳大利亞巡演最終站于當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間12月10日晚在悉尼市政廳震撼上演。至此，“土樓南行”之旅圓滿收官。同時(shí)，2016年澳大利亞“中國·福建周”落下帷幕。
今年是福建省與澳大利亞塔斯馬尼亞州結(jié)好35周年，作為2016年澳大利亞“中國·福建周”的重頭戲，福建省文化藝術(shù)代表團(tuán)帶來的《土樓回響》此前還舉行了12月6日墨爾本首演，以及12月8日霍巴特匯演。三場演出場場爆滿。由著名交響樂指揮家鄭小瑛擔(dān)任指揮的福建交響樂團(tuán)除《土樓回響》外，還為此次巡演準(zhǔn)備了鋼琴協(xié)奏曲《黃河》、《三坊七巷》等充滿中國氣派和福建文化特色的演出曲目。值得一提的是，澳籍鋼琴家卡羅蘭·艾爾芒娣也加入該次巡演。
“客家自古出中原，斗轉(zhuǎn)星移往南遷，心齊同把土樓建，勞動號子穿云天。”由著名作曲家劉湲創(chuàng)作的交響樂《土樓回響》曾獲首屆中國音樂“金鐘獎(jiǎng)”唯一器樂類金獎(jiǎng)，被認(rèn)為是迄今為止“世界上第一部專門為客家人創(chuàng)作的交響樂”，是客家文化與當(dāng)代音樂結(jié)合的經(jīng)典。
《土樓回響》將西方交響樂演奏與客家山歌、民間藝術(shù)樹葉吹奏等相結(jié)合，為澳洲觀眾獻(xiàn)上了極具東方特色的西式交響樂視聽盛宴。在主持人中英雙語的介紹下，澳洲觀眾了解了《土樓回響》樂章中展現(xiàn)的客家人奮勇拼搏的故事，從音樂中感受到客家人堅(jiān)韌不拔、開拓進(jìn)取、勇往直前的精神。每到一地，演出結(jié)束，觀眾紛紛起立向臺上演職人員致敬，雷鳴般的掌聲經(jīng)久不息，全體演出人員多次返場，再獻(xiàn)曲目。
“31年前，我第一次到澳大利亞堪培拉演出，發(fā)現(xiàn)當(dāng)?shù)氐挠^眾對中國了解不多，只知道中國有京劇，不知道中國也有交響樂。31年后，我們再次來到澳大利亞，希望能夠再次把中國好的音樂，中國的文化帶出國門，讓更多的觀眾聽到。”出身客家的指揮大師鄭小瑛，今年已87歲高齡，但在舞臺上揮棒依然激情滿懷，談起音樂來仍是滔滔不絕。她希望通過自己的力量，把《土樓回響》所展現(xiàn)的中國文化魅力傳到世界各地，讓各國人民了解中國文化，聽到中國獨(dú)特的交響樂。
“《土樓回響》太震撼了，土樓真壯觀，客家人的拼搏精神令人贊嘆！”不少觀眾都激動地表示。在悉尼生活多年的僑胞楊老太太激動地告訴記者，雖然是晚上時(shí)間，出門不便，但她還是約了幾位老年朋友一起來現(xiàn)場觀看演出。她說：“聽說鄭小瑛教授要來，我很激動，我今年也80歲了，她比我還大7歲，祝她健康長壽。在悉尼看到來自祖國的交響樂團(tuán)演出，這么震撼，我為祖國感到自豪。”悉尼觀眾Paul表示，自己也是小提琴手，他從來沒有聽過這么震撼、精彩的中國交響樂演出。吹奏樹葉、唱山歌，這與以前聽過的西方交響樂不同，在這里他感受到了中西方的文化碰撞，非常棒。
據(jù)了解，作為客家文化與當(dāng)代音樂結(jié)合的經(jīng)典篇章，《土樓回響》至今已走過全球12個(gè)國家，海內(nèi)外共演出了66場。本次巡演亦是中國國家藝術(shù)基金國（境）外傳播交流推廣項(xiàng)目之一。東南網(wǎng)澳大利亞站對《土樓回響》澳洲巡演進(jìn)行了全程雙語跟蹤報(bào)道。

As a classic combination of Hakka culture and contemporary music , this masterpiece is also regarded as the first symphonic song especially for Hakka people in the world.
“The Echoes of Hakka’s Earth Buildings” is a mix of Western symphony performing, Hakka folk song and leaf playing, which performing a great western symphonic audio-visual feast with oriental features for audience in Australia. With bilingual introduction, the audience learnt the story in this song, how Hakka people struggling and fighting. The Australian people also feel the Hakka spirit, which is perseverance, forging ahead and marched forward bravely. At the end of each event, the audience always showed their respect with standing ovation and long-lasting applause. The artists presented several songs as encores.
“When I first performed in Canberra 31years ago, I realized that the local people didn’t know much about China. The only thing they had heard of was the Chinese Opera. Few people thought China also had its own Symphony songs and bands. Now 31years passed, we were here back to Australia again, hoping to bring our outstanding music, our traditional culture overseas, heard by more and more people.” Said by 87-years old Maestro Zheng Xiaoying, the great conductor from Hakka.

She is 7 years elder than me, but she?looks full of inspiration! I wish her all the best. I’m so proud that symphony orchestra from our motherland can bring such a wonderful show to Sydney.” Paul, who is a local violinist, said that he had never heard such powerful and amazing Chinese symphonic concert. He also mentioned that the Hakka fold song, as well as the leaf playing, was quite different from traditional western symphony,”I can feel the clash between Eastern culture and Western culture. Bravo!”
