SHANGHAI SYMPHOMY ORHCESTRA is the earliest and the best-known ensemble of its kind in Asia, through which the Chinese symphonic music develops. Originally known as the Shanghai Public Band, it developed into an orchestra in 1907, and was renamed the Shanghai Municipal Council Symphony Orchestra in 1922. Notably under the baton of the Italian conductor Mario Paci, the orchestra promoted Western music and trained Chinese young talents very early in China, and introduced the first Chinese orchestral work to the audience, hence reputed as the the best in the Far East. Practically, the history of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra may be referred as the history of Chinas symphonic music development.

Fang Qiong is without any doubt the best Chinese singer today. She sings with passion, gusto and with an amazing voice. Her interpretation of this relatively old song is the best bars none. Hope she can travel to perform in Singapore where I reside. Excellent singer. Very good orchestra backing that brings out the best of the singer. Thanks for the post.
