Renowned musical duo strikes a significant chord with Shanghai audience

Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han traveled to four Asian cities last month, taking six flights and performing the same number of concerts.

One of these was staged at the Shanghai Concert Hall on Dec 14, when together with their colleagues from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York, Finckel and Wu played works by Beethoven, Schoenfield and Schubert.

The audience in Shanghai was fantastic, Wu said. "We could sense they were listening with such intense feeling. It proves Shanghai has a significant audience for chamber music."
