Chapter 213 Jazz and Classical(1/2)
There was enthusiastic applause under the stage and shouts from everyone.
Whether it was applause or shouting "bravo", it meant nothing. It was just a sea of extremely excited screams that gathered under the stage and roared in Fu Diao's ears.
One after another stood up, and the applause became louder and louder.
First there are the group of people in the front row, then there are the people in the middle, and finally there are the people in the back row.
The originally extremely neat theater became a little chaotic when everyone stood up and applauded. Only the crowds of people could be seen, and countless palms touched each other below, emitting roaring applause.
The applause was even louder than during the intermission.
You can clearly see some old people and young people clapping vigorously off the stage, their faces red and thick necks, as if their whole body is exerting force.
It even gave Fu Tiao the illusion that some of these people might be so excited that they fainted.
These people are not just one or two, but groups of people, exerting their strength over there.
Fu Diao's eyes swept across the people under the stage, and he seemed to see He Shen sitting at the side doing the same.
Compared with others around him, he seemed more excited and excited.
Under the applause of the group, Fu Tiao couldn't help but smile, held the edge of the piano, bowed gently to everyone, then turned and walked off the stage.
The applause was enthusiastic and there was no stagnation at all. Everyone was still applauding.
When Fu Tiao walked backstage, the staff backstage also applauded vigorously.
"Bravo! Fu!"
"Fu!spectacle Formidable!"
"Genial!"
"Super!"
"..."
Almost all the staff backstage are French. Just like in Brussels before, in the congratulations they gave Fu Tiao backstage, in addition to Bravo, which is most commonly used in all concerts, it is also a word commonly used in French to express good wishes.
word.
For example, Génial, his genius performance, spectacular formidable! Super wonderful performance!
Although Fu Diao couldn't understand what these people were talking about at all, Fu Diao could tell from their expressions that these people were congratulating him on his performance, praising and blessing him.
Fu Diao thought for a while, smiled at them, nodded, and also bowed slightly.
The applause backstage was even more enthusiastic.
After Fu Tiao sat backstage and rested for a while, he came out again for the curtain call. After three consecutive curtain calls, he stopped backstage to rest.
The previous person in charge quickly handed over a glass of water and a bottle of champagne, and spoke to Fu Diao with a smile.
"Fu, drink some water first. After your performance is over, let's open a glass of champagne together. This champagne is a bottle that I have treasured for a long time."
"Forehead……"
Fu Tiao took a sip of the water and moistened his mouth. Looking at the extremely excited person in charge, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and whispered.
"Sorry, I don't drink..."
"Ah, then it's really a pity. This bottle of wine is one I have hidden for a long time..."
The person in charge sighed with a helpless expression: "I didn't expect that you don't like wine. I don't know when this bottle of wine will be used next."
After saying that, he glanced at the people around him, and the people around him immediately understood and brought over a few champagne glasses.
He unscrewed the button on the champagne, and instead of shaking it violently and then exploding like in movies and TV shows, he carefully opened the cork and poured two-thirds of the wine into all the champagne glasses in front of him.
, and distribute it to everyone.
"But forget it, since you are happy today, let's just drink together! santé!"
"Santé!"
Everyone raised their champagne glasses at the same time and celebrated together.
Fu Diao raised his glass like everyone else, took a sip of the sparkling water in his glass, and looked towards the concert hall behind him.
Everyone was still applauding, and the applause had lasted for two or three minutes and still hadn't stopped.
Listening to all this, Fu Tiao also understood that he should now go out and prepare the encore.
He nodded slightly to the group of staff around him and then said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys drink slowly, I'll go on stage to prepare the encore."
"Fu, can I ask in advance what your encore repertoire will be? Because we need to wait until the end of the concert to send an introduction to the encore repertoire to everyone who ordered the concert via email."
"Well...my encore piece."
Fu Tiao raised his head and thought for a moment, and then he smiled and said to the people behind him.
"Actually, it's nothing. I plan to play Kapustin's concert etudes."
"Kapustin???"
The person in charge looked at Fu Tiao, his eyes suddenly froze and he was at a loss.
…
The people under the stage were still applauding and communicating in small voices from time to time.
"Fu's performance this time is really amazing. I really like his Chopin etudes, especially the last winter wind and the sea."
"I have no interest in etudes. I still prefer Fu Tiao's ballades. I feel that his ballades can even be compared with Zimmermann's!"
"Zimmermann can't compare, right? Zimmermann's ballads can be considered the best in the world, and his four ballads are simply a masterpiece!"
"So let's compare. I really like his interpretation."
"Fu's etudes are indeed pretty good. His etudes are full of flavor. I like his sea feeling very much."
"Indeed, but do you know what Fu will play in his encore?"
"I don't know. If it's a classical musician, they are most likely to play a nocturne? Or other etudes, I don't know..."
"I heard that Fu played jazz before. Will he perform jazz arrangements this time? What works will he adapt...or the previous Chopin works?"
"Looking forward to Fu Tiao's encore."
"It is said that Fu's Siren has received a lot of positive reviews. The more I think about it, the more I look forward to it."
"..."
Everyone was applauding off the stage and discussing the piece Fu Tiao was going to perform next, looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Even though they have been applauding continuously for two or three minutes now and the tune has not come out, it still does not dampen their expectations.
For a pianist of Fu Tiao's level, it is very normal to applaud continuously for two or three minutes for an encore.
Like before, someone clapped continuously for 10 minutes before the performer was pulled out for an encore. What are these two or three minutes?
Kapustin in the distance also looked expectant.
He was very curious about what kind of work Fu Tiao would perform in such a formal occasion.
The students on the side looked at Kapustin beside him and couldn't help but say.
"Teacher, what do you think of Fu's performance this time?"
"Classically, Chopin is very flavorful and at the same time he can maintain his own characteristics. His Chopin should be among the first-class pianists. As for when he can reach the top of Chopin, it depends on when he can be lucky enough to figure it out.
A god-level live or album song.”
Kapustin repeated what he said to Hiromi Ishihara before, looked at the empty stage happily, and said with a smile.
"But what I'm looking forward to now is his jazz, especially after talking to me before, he said that he would show some fusion of classical and jazz. I really want to know how he interprets it."
"Teacher, do you know what he will play for the encore?"
"I don't know, but he is Dio Fu. I heard his jazz music last time and it was very good. Isn't it natural that I have expectations for him?"
Kapustin's expression did not change at all, and he said that he was looking forward to Fu Diao's performance as a matter of course.
The student next to him looked a little surprised. In his eyes, his teachers were some of the most powerful classical jazz composers in the world today. He didn't expect that his teacher would actually expect a jazz performance from a classical musician.
Maybe it was what Fu Tiao played that impressed his teacher when he was in the jazz club?
The student thought for a while, but didn't say anything more. He just stepped aside silently.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fu Tiao walked out from the backstage of the concert hall and reappeared on the stage.
After the applause that had weakened slightly suddenly reached a climax again, everyone immediately stopped applauding, packed up their seats, sat down again, and looked at Fu Diao expectantly, waiting for his performance.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fu Tiao did not feel timid or uneasy at all. He gestured with his cell phone to everyone with a smile and said.
"Now is the encore time. You can take photos and videos as you like without worrying about leaks or anything."
After hearing Fu Diao's words, everyone immediately laughed in understanding. Some people who had originally planned to take pictures took out their mobile phones openly.
Seeing everyone under the stage take out their mobile phones, Fu Cao thought for a while and added.
"But please be careful not to shake your hands when shooting. It is best to keep the picture and sound quality stable. Otherwise... I would like to trouble you not to post the particularly blurry video and audio on the Internet. Thank you very much."
