《詩樂集》是伯恩斯坦為美國建國兩百週年所寫下的連篇歌曲，在這部作品中共動用了六名聲樂家以及龐大的交響樂團，並在12個場景中寫下了13首歌曲，每首歌曲不僅歌詞皆取材自美國著名詩人的作品，演唱編制更是各不相同，從獨唱到六重唱不一而足，在在展現出這部史詩級鉅作的獨一無二與浩瀚宏大，絕對是值得所有樂迷認識的一部經典作品。「普羅米修斯」曾是貝多芬的自許，而第三號交響曲則是「普羅米修斯」精神的純然展現。縱使沒有拿破崙稱帝所帶來的戲劇張力，這首交響曲在音樂史上所開創的格局都足以震懾古今。無怪乎學者們都以這首交響曲視為貝多芬打開浪漫樂派大門的敲門磚，無論結構或樂思都為無數後進帶來啟發。從伯恩斯坦到貝多芬，且聽水藍以氣象萬千之姿詮釋這兩首史詩大作，為樂迷帶來一場振奮人心的音樂饗宴。

Bernstein wrote "Songfest" in celebration of the American Bicentennial Year. The performance of this composition required six vocalists and a large symphony orchestra. The piece includes thirteen songs for twelve scenes, presenting an array of different vocal arrangements - from solos to sextets, and lyrics from poems by famous American poets. This is a unique composition of epic proportions, and a classic that is definitely worth experiencing.Beethoven viewed Prometheus as his role model, and clearly expressed the spirit in his Symphony No. 3 "Eroica". Even without the dramatic historical background of Napoleon becoming emperor, this symphony still introduced an impressive new world to the international music scene. No wonder scholars regard this symphony as Beethoven's initiation into the Romantic School, as its structure and music style inspired numerous future composers.Tonight, conductor Lan Shui presents his grand interpretation of Bernstein and Beethoven's epic works. The audience is in for an exciting musical treat!
