Chinese delicacies create a symphony for the ears
China DailyFrom prawns sizzling in hot oil to the crispy skin of Peking duck and the rich flavors of "Buddha-Jumps-over-the Wall" soup, a new melody celebrating 10 Chinese delicacies by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra premiered recently. "I want to create a small-big-piece, which consists of many short movements," Leung tells the media before the premiere at Shanghai Symphony Hall on Nov 23. "I want to create something similar to a tasting experience because people today enjoy music differently from the previous generations. From there, each movement depicts a Chinese dish — from the appetizer of jellyfish salad to sweet-and-sour mandarin fish, Sichuan water-cooked beef and glutinous rice in a bamboo tube, till the final movement featuring deep-fried sesame balls for dessert.
