What’s so difficult about recording a complete concerto?

The first is the venue. A huge recording studio that can seat nearly a hundred people is a very difficult thing to achieve. This is not just a matter of being able to sit down, but also having to conform to the vocal structure in such a large space, which is more difficult than

Generally speaking, recording studios are several orders of magnitude larger. Fortunately, there is a ready-made concert hall, so this problem can be solved very well. In order to rent the Kyoto Tojo Concert Hall, dg spent money and made many connections.

The second difficulty lies in people.

In such a large space, if there is a slight difference in the position of the performer or the position of the microphone, the sound will be greatly deviated. At this time, the sound engineer's judgment is crucial. Which timbres must be mic'd and mic'ed.

The angle, how far away, how many, what is the volume ratio of the field microphones, these details must be considered... Therefore, to record top-notch records, you must have experienced classical music professional recording engineers and experienced recording experts.

Experienced team of performers.

dg has a top recording engineer team, but a team of performers and band conductors are not so easy to find. For this recording, dg mobilized its contacts and contacted many performer teams around the world, but most of them could not find them in a few days.

Within a few days, I felt like I came to Kyoto, China, to participate in this recording. Fortunately, the German Philharmonic Orchestra and Rondo, who had just collaborated with Marceline, were able to spare time, and this problem was solved.

At the same time, for this recording, DG also airlifted a set of top-notch recording equipment from Germany, and all preparations were in place.

After listening to the introduction of the project leader, Jiang Chao said that it was impossible not to be moved. And all the preparations were completed in just a few days. So he couldn't help but admire him. Perhaps it was because of the Germans'

This rigorous and serious attitude has allowed DG to become the largest record company in the world!

As soon as I stepped into the concert hall, the venue burst into warm applause. This orchestra from Germany had just played Jiang Chao's music a few days ago. I have to say that Jiang Chao's music really has a unique magic. Every time

There is no special feeling when individuals practice alone, but when they work together, the different timbres of different instruments blend with each other, creating that kind of vitality, so every musician is looking forward to playing again.

And...it's with the original author like Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao is an outstanding pianist and the composer of this piece. Working with him is an exciting thing to think about.

After the applause ended, Old John walked to the center of the stage and bowed deeply to everyone, and then sincerely said some words of thanks. Since they were in German, Jiang Chao couldn't understand them, so he just listened to them with a smile.

.

Finally, the scene erupted into applause again. Only then did Old John give time to Rondo.

Jiang Chao was about to officially start recording, so he sat down in front of the piano, running his fingers quickly from the lowest bass to the highest note, making sure that the pitch of each note was correct, and then nodded to Rondo.

The sound engineer on site adjusted the equipment and nodded to Rondo.

Rondo closed his eyes slightly, brewing his emotions for a while, and then waved the baton lightly in his hand.

Music sounds.

That heavenly sound appeared in Jiang Chao's mind again.

But this time is completely different from before! Because this piece of music was composed by himself, the perfect fit was something that could not be achieved by playing the works of any master before.

If the real performance can match 20% of the natural sounds in the mind, one is already a world-class pianist, and 40% is the top master in the world today. Then what kind of listening experience is 100% matching?

Jiang Chao had never dared to think about it before.

Today was also the first time he played this piece of music composed by himself. When he played the first short section, he noticed the unique feeling.

Transparent!

This time, Jiang Chao was shocked to find that there was no previous barrier between the perfect sounds of nature in his mind and reality. His fingers only served as a media channel, and those perfect notes flowed out so smoothly.

Everyone felt the piano sound from a higher level!

There can be no difference in the breathing, weight, duration, or fluctuation of each note! If you press it even slightly lightly or for a few tenths of a second longer, the perfect feeling will be destroyed!

The performers were all immersed in it. They were playing along with Jiang Chao's piano music. There was no so-called "competition" between piano and orchestra in this concerto, only harmonious cooperation!

The sound engineers are very nervous. They are both staff and listeners. Their keen hearing can tell that every detail of this piece of music is perfect, and maintaining this perfection is like walking a high-altitude tightrope. There can be no mistakes. They

They were afraid that Jiang Chao would play a certain note for one more time or one Newton harder, which would bring them back to reality.

As a result, the sound engineers didn't dare to breathe loudly. Especially in the final stage, everyone held their breath and stared at Jiang Chao nervously.

Jiang Chao had closed his eyes at this time. He was enjoying every minute and every second of such transparency, and was not aware of the tension in the outside world. This pleasant feeling was unprecedented, and he didn't even want the song to end.

But the performance eventually came to an end, and in the end Jiang Chao almost reluctantly hit the last note.

The echo of the music lingered in the concert hall for a long time, and no one made any sound. Only when the slightest echo could not be captured by even the smallest equipment, did everyone stand up and applaud at the same time. The applause continued, and some people even

Tears already filled my eyes.

Jiang Chao couldn't help but feel deeply moved in such an atmosphere, and he applauded seriously, not only for himself but also for everyone present.

Music is the purest thing, and musicians and people who like music are also the purest people! In this circle, your skin color, gender, and nationality cannot define your work. As long as you can pry the hearts of others, you can

Earn respect!

Old John couldn't wait to hug Jiang Chao and said sincerely: "This is the most perfect performance I have ever heard! I believe that this record will become a classic and will be passed down forever!"

Jiang Chao was also very excited. He stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, saying loudly: "Thank you all! I think we have just accomplished an incredible thing together! The wonderful feeling when we played just now, I believe it will become our

An experience that will be unforgettable in this lifetime!”

The applause rang out again!

Jiang Chao closed his eyes and savored it. He was not sure whether he could still have that experience. Because this piece of music fit 100% with the music in his mind! But Jiang Chao knew that this was not because his piano skills had improved.

It's because this piece of music was originally composed by himself that it has such an effect. If he can have such an effect every time he plays an original piece, then the only thing that will limit Jiang Chao's height in the future will be the quality of the music he composes.
