2012年，我第一次去敦煌。在辽阔的沙漠中，终于见到了让我心驰神往的敦煌莫高窟和仰慕已久的敦煌研究院时任院长樊锦诗先生。敦煌壁画中记载了4000多件乐器、3000多名乐伎，以及500多个古乐队。这些来自千百年前的壁画深深地打动了我，我仿佛从画中听到了美妙的声音，感受到了慈悲和爱，进而有一种灵魂的冲动，想把这些壁画用交响乐演奏出来，带到全世界。没想到就在这第一次见面时，樊院长对我说，小谭，你能不能把敦煌的壁画变成声音，用音乐来讲述敦煌的故事？壁画是带不走的，但如果把壁画变成音乐，就可以让更多的人听到它，让全世界的人都可以感受到中国的文化，获得生命的感悟。

What a lot of people don’t like at all any more is “speaking to anyone in public”.
