Chapter 1278 The first half(1/2)
Compared with the bright and cheerful red and gold colors of the Puhai Grand Theater, the tone of the Avery Fisher Hall seems more serious and old-fashioned. In fact, the acoustic design of the two halls is similar, but when the show started, the Fisher Hall was obviously depressing.
The hum of chatter is in sharp contrast to the intertwined enthusiasm in the Puhai Grand Theater. In fact, you can see a lot of differences right in front of you. Chinese and even Asians are quite willing to communicate with each other or enjoy the lively atmosphere.
, there are piles of smiling faces. The white people are different. People who come together in twos and threes obviously don’t interact much with each other, and there is no expectation for art on each face.
Western audiences seem to prefer studying the program list. Although there are only three pieces tonight, the list is not shabby. After all, it is the premiere of a new work. The organizer will not lose face, and he will not hesitate to praise the work and the composer's introduction.
New Ireland seems to have a clear positioning of Yang Jingxing, and has unified its caliber from top to bottom. The evaluation on the program is the same as Jeromil's boast to the politicians' wives a while ago. Mr. Yang is not only the most outstanding
The composer is also an extraordinary pianist. It's really ridiculous. If Yang Jingxing was so outstanding, it wouldn't be easy to just write down his name. But comparing the descriptions of the other two composers on the list, in fact, Niu Ai's word choice also depends on the person.
Despite careful consideration, the positioning of the powerful middle-aged and elderly people was obviously biased towards simplicity and stability. He Peiyuan also reminded Yang Jingxing several times to save the program as a souvenir, fearing that she would have to accuse her Western colleagues of being shameless after watching it.
Teacher You also looked at the program and exchanged views with Yang Jingxing: "Teacher Wang and the others took a very good photo."
Yang Jingxing nodded in agreement. As he spoke, he saw the musicians on the stage holding woodwinds and brass pipes. Then the concert hall was about to enter the pretentious etiquette time. Yang Jingxing quickly turned around and raised his hand to say hello to Cao Linglan and the others again.
These alumni are also very good at pretending, and now they respond to Yang Jingxing in a polite and artistic manner, completely unlike the group of people who chatted nonsense last night.
Blood is indeed thicker than water. It feels like this small moment of word-of-mouth communication. Most of the Chinese and overseas Chinese scattered in the audience have clearly locked onto the composer. When Yang Jingxing raised his hand, those who were paying attention to the composer
The friendly faces at home suddenly became more enthusiastic, and many men, women, old and young waved to the composer from Puhai from far and near. In the large concert hall with more than 2,000 seats, it seemed that there was a presence beyond language.
A kind of tacit understanding between people of the same blood, not only Tang Qing, Mao Tianchi, Wen Fujiang and others are happy, but even the small boss in Flushing who wears counterfeit brand names to attend the sorority during the day is also enjoying it with the yellow-faced woman next to him.
Haha.
Of course, most of the audience paid more attention to the orchestra and watched the musicians appear together. At first, it was quite casual on and off the stage, but gradually it became more ritualistic. When the vocal leader appeared, the concert hall would
There was some applause. When Wilson, the concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, made his final appearance as a musician, the audience's welcome applause was huge and the attention ceremony was neat. Wilson, an old man who has been the concertmaster in New York for more than ten years.
He was so skilled. When he stepped forward to greet the audience in the middle, his face was filled with the dignity of an elegant artist. When he raised his head to pay tribute to the ticket holders in the box, he exuded a more humble temperament than when he met a talented composer.
The orchestra was all in place, and the woodwind expertly organized everyone's tuning. The musicians who were ready one after another all acted as if they were waiting happily. By this time, the sound in the audience was much quieter, and most people were looking forward to it.
, I can’t wait to see it through.
Jeromil was not a show-off person, he was simply upright and came out from the backstage with the baton without giving the front any time to think. The audience was more active, almost as soon as the conductor stepped onto the stage.
They started to applaud enthusiastically, and the rush to be the first was almost flattering.
As a well-known composer, Yang Jingxing did not turn off his cell phone. He even took it out of his trouser pocket and looked down. Sure enough, it was another text message from He Peiyuan: I sincerely hope that Yang Jingxing will show his best side tonight and never forget it.
snort.
While everyone was applauding and paying tribute, Yang Jingxing was immersed in playing with his mobile phone. Fortunately, he acted quickly and gave his girlfriend a simple reply: The honor is half that of Yuanyuan.
Yeromil did not give Yang Jingxing time. He made a brief appearance to pay tribute before going on stage. He did not review anything after turning to face the orchestra. He started directly without even a little preparation.
The first song tonight is a work by Gott, a middle-aged composer from the Netherlands. Gott is actually in his fifties. He started to enter the music scene before Yang Jingxing was born. He is famous and has even more honors.
Especially Mondrian, who was very loudly known in the music industry when he was young, and was the originator of non-representational painting. Unfortunately, Goth was not able to achieve a real breakthrough in musical form on his own. Now that he is older, Goth has
Instead, Te began to be nostalgic and conservative, so his works gradually appeared in mainstream concerts.
Although some artistic "compromises" have been made to the "mainstream audience", when listening to the intro of the song, several cellos and violas seamlessly play the same music one after another. The musicians are very professional and let one music
It continued smoothly and perfectly for nearly half a minute, without any ups and downs. The audience should also hear that the composer is still a fan of Mondrian after all. Isn't this super extension of one note a certain understanding and understanding of "line" by Mondrian?
Pursue it?
The audience at Lincoln Center was indeed extraordinary. After listening to the single note for half a minute, no one in the audience of two thousand was impatient. However, Yang Jingxing was very disrespectful to his peers and looked down at his phone again. He Peiyuan scolded him for attending the concert.
If you don't want to shut down your phone, order the scoundrels to behave themselves and stop being embarrassed.
Yang Jingxing became a serious listener. After all, Gott is considered a person who speaks with talent and hard work in the industry. Although he has made great achievements over the years, he has never been silent because Gott's creative attitude has always been correct.
, has merit in both artistic and academic aspects.
Even though he is considered outstanding, like most of his contemporary colleagues, Gott's fame is mainly limited to his peers. He Peiyuan had only heard of the name Gott before, and knew nothing about the others, but in this new work
After the repertoire of the concert was determined, He Peiyuan had a comprehensive understanding of Gott's musical achievements through her boyfriend and even listened to the CD.
He Peiyuan herself had no interest in avant-garde music and art, so she did not dare to have high expectations for Gott. After carefully analyzing the situation, the girl concluded that she could not expect Gott to have any extraordinary performance to enhance the overall artistic level of this new concert.
In comparison, the famous Austrian composer Moritz, who is older and more experienced, has released his ninth work for vocal orchestra after a few years. Not only does it have high hopes from the music industry, but it also allows He Peiyuan to see some improvements in average.
share of hope.
He Peiyuan will not expect that a new concert will become a "magic performance" talked about by music fans all over the world. This girl just doesn't want to see the hard work and enthusiasm of the orchestra's seniors being held back by others. If it is because of the previous music If it is so bad that the audience loses their artistic patience and even gets angry in the second half, then the concert will fail, then the compatriots will be disappointed, and then the music critics will also make things worse, and then... it is simply unimaginable.
In fact, He Peiyuan's worries are unfounded. Niuai will not make too bold and risky attempts with new concerts that already have a certain influence in the industry and outside the industry. The chief conductor and artistic director will not be confused among so many choices all over the world. Composers who are already at the top of the industry will not lose to the melody upstarts who suddenly appear.
Facts have proved that Gott's new work is still of high quality. Although the strange musical language or the unconventional music structure still seems a bit unhuman, there are many parts in the music that can be heard and thought about, and overall, The composer has made new progress in his research field, and it can even be said that it has entered the stage of perfection.
If there are any listeners who are familiar with Gott, they will be surprised today, and most of the listeners who come to New Ireland or Jeromil will not be disrespectful and have been patiently listening to the music. Music critics have always loved it. Gott, several music critics regard the in-depth appreciation of composers like Gott as proof of distinguishing themselves from ordinary music fans, and today's work will make those music critics happy to find more evidence.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, the first piece of music ended tonight. Judging from Jeromil's finishing movements, he was full of confidence in the work.
The response was pretty good, applause started immediately, and it became popular across the board. Although there were some people who clapped their hands and looked around, and some people didn't seem to be so involved in their actions, there were also many expressions of sincere appreciation. In short, judging from the process and results, Today's first song is already very successful. As a work that is not designed to please the audience, it is already a victory for art to get such a response.
The Chinese and overseas Chinese also applauded generously, although many people were following the trend or even ignorant. Not only those non-cultural people who are not usually exposed to art have not yet experienced the fun of serious music, but there also seems to be obvious differences among Yang Jingxing’s alumni. They were at a loss because the first piece of music must be very different from what they thought of Mozart and Beethoven.
The performance of the Western audience was better. Not only did they applaud with clear conscience and purpose, some people even thought about it as if they had realized something. However, it didn't last long. The applause soon died down, and it was like a gust of wind blowing between the ups and downs.
Jeromil was really smart. He made full use of the ten seconds of applause as if he had accurately calculated it in advance without showing any haste. The conductor gentlemanly changed several gestures and expressions of greetings just before the applause ended. The point of completely disappearing naturally leads to raising his hand towards the composer and introducing in a energetic voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gott."
The composer got up in style and wanted to be the Mondrian of the music industry. Not only was he wearing a tuxedo, his style was like returning to feudal society.
The audience still showed respect. Many people looked towards the composer and let the applause continue for a few seconds. The conductor on the stage also applauded and paid tribute to the composer, and then left the stage. The next program will follow.
Cooperation between famous male and female singers is indispensable, and there is a lot of red tape.
The majesty of the conductor seemed to not only have an effect on the orchestra. As soon as Jeromil disappeared from the stage, not only did the dozens of musicians immediately relax, but the audience also became buzzing with eagerness. It felt like everyone had a lot to express.
.
Yang Jingxing was able to find time to look at his mobile phone again. There was no message or phone call. Maybe He Peiyuan really slept in.
Perhaps he went backstage for a drink of water or some kind of formality, but Jeromil returned to the stage after a short while. People in the audience who hadn't had enough to chat hurriedly applauded to please him.
Of course Gott is a world-renowned composer, or in the 402 circles, he can be considered a front-line composer in the industry. Gott is fully qualified to teach his knowledge and experience in all composition master classes, but hosting an occasion like today
Fang would not hastily add the title of master to Gott, otherwise it would inevitably arouse criticism. The second composer tonight, Moritz, is different. No matter what the occasion, no one should call Moritz a master.
Some people may have too many doubts. First of all, Moritz, who is nearly 70 years old, is fully qualified in terms of age. Moreover, this old man’s artistic achievements are also recognized by the industry. He must have produced more than 100 works of various sizes after decades of working in the industry.
Although there is currently no masterpiece as widely performed and circulated as "Ting Sangpeng's Third Symphony", Moritz's social activity and interpersonal relationships in the music world and even the art circle are much higher than that of Ding Sangpeng who was decades earlier.
A senior who was born and raised in the East and has experienced a lot in his life but has never let go of his pride and aloofness.
No, Jeromil stepped forward with a smile and began to introduce the composer in a lively way. He also teased Moritz about his special liking for percussion, saying that he was ready to surpass the super-large one in "Ma 6"
Where is the wooden hammer? There were smiles on and off the stage, which fully demonstrated the deep friendship between the conductor and the composer.
The bass and soprano who collaborated are also first-line singers. They have a good relationship with New Zealand and are very popular with the audience. Yang Jingxing once heard Green mention that this female singer is also very popular, not only with the editor-in-chief of "Gramophone" magazine
In addition, there are well-known businessmen and influential politicians.
In fact, New Ireland is quite realistic. In the previous promotion of the concert's collaborative artists, these two singers were definitely the protagonists. In comparison, the 16 performers of the Puhai National Orchestra seemed to be just an addition to the program.
This is also reflected in the list. The two singers have eye-catching single photos, while the Puhai Chinese Orchestra only has one group photo. However, as a colleague, we must also understand New Zealand. After all, the Puhai Chinese Orchestra is not world-famous yet, and elegant music also needs
box office.
After being invited by the conductor, a pair of singers took the stage intimately and excitedly, and received enthusiastic applause from the audience. The conductor, composer, singer, and principal also paid tribute to each other, but they are all experienced people, and they cooperated well.
He skillfully guided the concert hall into an artistic state again.
The second piece tonight started with strings playing in unison. Moritz gave full play to his specialty and the melody was beautiful and moving. Even those in the audience who had applauded Gott heartily before were obviously quickly affected. This time it was definitely not the case.
The kind of work that leaves the audience on tenterhooks.
The second piece of work is not particularly innovative in form or content, but it cannot be said to be mediocre, because the music is quite nice, and the two movements contain a lot of elements in a total of twenty minutes. The content of the music is very rich, and the male and female French
The arias are particularly exciting. The climax of the music is even more beautiful. Many listeners were deeply moved, especially the older ones who seemed to resonate more with the composer.
The song ended in the form of a male and female chorus, which was really infuriating. The applause in the concert hall came like a storm. The enthusiasm, love, and admiration contained in the storm were so obvious, strong, and lasting. Think about it and compare it.
The applause Gott received before seemed very polite. Even the music critics seemed to be sincerely impressed at this moment.
The applause was accompanied by cheers, making the atmosphere in the concert hall even more enthusiastic. Of course, the audience's reaction was still within the artist's expectations. Jeromil used various elegant methods to buy more time for the audience to express themselves.
Their enthusiasm and love, and the two singers’ satisfied and grateful smiles were also filled with self-confidence.
It seemed that after he had enjoyed enough, Jeromil once again directed the audience's attention towards the composer. However, Moritz did not suffer any loss. The audience once again showed high enthusiasm, many attention gifts, and even more applause.
It lasted for a long time. The old composer had to stand up twice to pay tribute, and finally suppressed the applause and cheers, allowing the concert to enter the intermission.
Do you feel that tonight is not a loss? The audience started the intermission in a state of happiness and contentment. Moritz indeed has many friends, so many colleagues and music critics rushed to the ticket box to congratulate him.
Congratulations, the composer was not given a chance to breathe, even Tang Qing joined in the fun.
At least the first half of the new compositions concert was very successful. I wonder if the two previous composers were worried about being held back by the second half.
Yang Jingxing chatted with people from the publishing house. Compared to the previous Symphony No. 1 or Piano Sonata, the publishing house paid much more attention to the release of the score of the Second Symphony, and it seemed that it respected the composer's personal ideas.
Because the publishing house does not have very mature experience in publishing works in which such "rare musical instruments" occupy too much space.
Yang Jingxing corrected the publisher's statement that it was not a rare instrument.
Although it seemed that Yang Jingxing was relatively busy, the alumni still took the lead. Cao Linglan, Mo Tioti and the boys from Class 4 came over to talk. Cao Linglan politely and skillfully apologized to the people from the art agency who were trying to establish relations with the composer. Yang Jingxing
I just got rid of the entanglement and said goodbye to another person who wanted to represent the copyright of his works, but I still accepted the other person's business card.
To be continued...
