114 品 “HK Phil is a phenomenally virtuosic orchestra, whose ‘signature sound’ can be described as bright and articulate.” Jing Wang “We typically have two days of rehearsal for a concert,” he revealed, “but for the forthcoming Götterdämmerung , we have a fortnight. Act Three of the opera is by far the hardest score ever written for first violin, totalling a staggering 100 pages – from the first to the last note, we barely get a breather!” All this toiling and moilingwill be worthwhile, as long as the audience understands the musical message, and that is preciselywhat makesWang proud as a professional musician.
