A month ago, the Asian premiere of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. 2" conducted by Lian Lixin was conducted by the host. The host made an introduction to create the atmosphere. There was no need for the conductor to waste time. However, Lian Lixin did not start the art immediately after taking the stage.

After he stood on the podium, he inspected the orchestra majestically for more than half an hour. Of course, the musicians fully understood and respected the conductor's habits and hobbies. He Peiyuan commented that Lian Lixin's preparation was quite powerful and effective, but it was just a little risky.

, it might be called a bluff and it would drag down the composer.

Today, Jeromil's opening remarks seemed too long-winded, and those too popular and ordinary words may damage his temperament as a world master and have serious suspicions of lowering his worth. The chief conductor of New Ireland should be able to make the audience double with just a smile.

He felt vain. However, after talking to the audience, Jeromil showed his personality and confidence. Without even establishing a relationship with the concertmaster, he turned around and faced the orchestra directly and raised the conductor's baton.

The folk musicians in Puhai had previously tipped off the composer with compliments and congratulations, which meant that Yeromil had a high opinion of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" during the rehearsal process. The musicians

They also praised each other and practiced actively, but I felt that most of what New York said were clichés. Although the orchestra showed enough attention to the work, it did not have that strong performance of finding a treasure. This situation is different from folk music.

The bold and optimistic expectations of the performers themselves before going abroad were somewhat inconsistent.

Not only were the folk musicians not familiar with the conductor, most of the musicians in New Ireland who had lifetime contracts did not expect the conductor to make such an opening statement. Fortunately, they were all professionals and seemed a little impatient to turn around.

When they raised their sticks, the response of the musicians was busy but not chaotic. The cello group, which bore the brunt of the performance, seemed neat and precise in its bow and string movements.

According to industry standards, the acoustics of Avery Fisher Hall are not among the best in the world. It is said that all parameters are slightly worse than Carnegie Hall in the same city. However, for most listeners and even practitioners, those parameters are

This is nitpicking. The actual performance of the Fisher Hall is also very good. The two-second reverberation time is simply ingenious. The conductor’s volume is not high but the reverberation of the powerful words has just dissipated, and the steady cello notes are heard in an audible way.

The slow speed that is seen spreads and becomes full, and accompanied by the deep plucking of the double bass, the steady melody seems to show some solemnity after being fully reverberated.

However, no one in the concert hall looked even remotely scared, let alone fear or inability to adapt. There were not even a few symbolic surprises in the audience. It seems that today all races, nationalities, and cultures are

, the two thousand people whose professions are intertwined all united in a tacit understanding to make the conductor pay the price of face for his overconfident and impassioned speech a few seconds ago. There was really no response at all. It seemed that those sitting in the audience were not the audience but

A group of people watching indifferently.

I must have seen how stable Jeromil was in his decades-long artistic career, or he didn't care about the situation in the audience after facing the orchestra. Anyway, it seemed that the audience's complete lack of face did not hurt him.

Without any impact, the trajectory of the conductor's baton was calm and steady, allowing the woodwind section to appear at the end of the cello's phrase in an inconspicuous manner.

It’s a straightforward opening chapter. If you take it out and look at it separately without the following text, it’s not only unoriginal, it’s meaningless. It’s just like a first- and second-year undergraduate practice assignment. It shouldn’t appear at New Zealand’s premiere concert. However.

Just like the film and television industry will ridicule that there are no bad scripts, only bad directors, the pop music circle will also say that there are no bad songs, only singers who can’t sing. Industry experts are good at turning decay into magic. Through this short opening chapter of Jeromil

This allowed the New York Philharmonic to show some of the style under his leadership. The strings were obviously full and active, while the winds were slightly restrained and steady.

Yeromil's treatment of the short interval after the opening and before the harp comes on is also very different from Lian Lixin's style. Lian Lixin fades in and out, which seems to be pursuing the light and lofty feeling of folk music, while Yeromil's treatment seems direct and straightforward.

Some, just this one thing can save New Zealand a second of time.

The harp player in New Ireland is a middle-aged woman who was born in Spain. She gained her position in New Ireland more than ten years ago when she was less than thirty years old. What is even more rare is that she is also well-known in the folk music industry in the United States. It is said that she plays harp solo.

The tickets for the concert are more popular than Xinting's small venue. The musicians of the Puhai National Orchestra have not inquired about the religious beliefs of the Spanish musician, but everyone almost always thinks that the Western musician is playing the first movement.

The religious overtones displayed in this peculiar note of the New York Philharmonic are indeed much richer than the attempts of the Puhai Philharmonic players. Indeed, compared to the slightly softer harp performed by the Puhai Philharmonic in its premiere, the New York Philharmonic

The performance was obviously rude, and it felt like the musician's plucking movements were tougher.

Thanks to the musicians and conductor's adaption to local conditions, the New York audience's reaction to the harp was obviously much more common than that of the Puhai audience. There were some small body movements and posture adjustments in the audience, as if they were a little interested, or maybe

I see a glimmer of hope, this harp note is still a bit personal, not as inconspicuous as the beginning.

With the addition of the clarinet, the originally chaotic or profound notes of the harp suddenly seem to have a special order and purpose, making the audience vaguely aware of something, and may even have expectations and thoughts. And when the first violin group follows

After starting with the conductor's rhythmic gymnastics-like upper body movements, the simple melody that soon becomes strong and distinct will suddenly make the audience realize that it is what it is. In fact, there is no meaningful specific starting point for all this. They are all made up by the composer out of thin air, just like some fascinating

It is an amazing suspense detective novel. Although the ending is shocking, it is also a process created for the sake of purpose. In fact, it is completely beyond literary scrutiny.

As for religion, although there are two thousand people in the concert hall who are all yellow, white, brown and black, men, women and children from all over the world, when the violin melody is supported by the harp and woodwinds and moves towards that strange simple solemnity, the reaction of the audience has become more and more obvious.

, some people's solemn look was like standing up or something, it was simply ridiculous, but no one laughed, most of them remained calm, and a few people had a slightly cheerful understanding of the melody.

Just as the richly colored violins were getting better and better, potentially turning the concert hall into a church, the conductor on the stage suddenly made a bold move to order someone to make a high-profile appearance, and the four dulcimer players who had already held the qin and bamboo and were waiting for it started to strike the strings.

Their movements were so uniform, their gestures seemed so solemn and powerful, but the notes they played were light and soft.

After Pu Hai's performance, some experts once commented that the appearance of the dulcimer made people feel like seeing a huge ink landscape painting in the Sistine Chapel. It may be because Lian Lixin pursued to a certain extent the dulcimer to take the lead, and he hoped that folk music would make a stunning appearance.

Therefore, there is an obvious sense of collision when the Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra performs the first combination of Chinese and Western in this piece. However, under the coordination of many factors such as melody and rhythm, this collision is not obtrusive, and domestic audiences will not feel it at all.

What a fuss.

Jeromil was obviously not very optimistic about the acceptance of the New York audience. He made some unnecessary arrangements when the dulcimer appeared. First of all, the first two bars of the dulcimer were very gentle, while the violin group maintained some of the absolute protagonists.

The momentum seems to prevent the audience from being frightened, and gives everyone more time to adapt without appearing too sudden.

But the audience had the eyes to see, and the folk musicians on the stage had obviously already started to take action. There were not many children in the audience, and everyone was frightened, so they saw a lot of eager faces with their ears pricked up, but this

This kind of desire has nothing to do with art. Every expression is fresh and fresh, even among Chinese and overseas Chinese. With those faces, it’s no wonder that Chinese people love to join in the fun.

Jeromil couldn't hide the dulcimer all the time. After two bars, the concert hall became completely clear. The melodies of the four dulcimers and the ten first violins were clearly distinct, but they were not competing. The two sets of melodies were still in harmony.

It seems quite harmonious. Then the violin will gradually fade out and the dulcimer will take on the leading role.

At this point in the music, the difference between the New York Philharmonic and the Puhai Philharmonic has become very obvious. Just like this section, Lian Lisheng was afraid that the folk music would not be distinctive enough in his own hands, so he tried to get straight to the point, while Jeromil stood up as a matter of course.

Be conservative in your own position and try to proceed step by step. Lian Lixin's solution was to carve out a large section of the stage and hand it over directly to folk music to gain a foothold in the industry. Yeromil's method was to let Xi Le show how philanthropic he was by giving up part of the stage.

He gave Oriental musical instruments and even introduced each other generously.

After all, the score has the final say. As the melody colors of the four dulcimers become more and more vivid, and the violins gradually die out, it seems that only the crisp and bright sounds of big beads and small beads falling on jade plates are left in the Avery Fisher Hall. This section

The unison melody plagiarized from "Bloom" is like a big bead turning into small beads after falling on a jade plate, and clusters of small beads magically transform into slowly blooming bead flowers among each other like ripples.

, this flower should be white, shaped like jasmine or magnolia.

Everyone should have heard it clearly by this time. Obviously, most of the audience did not know the dulcimer or at least lacked a basic understanding of it, because so many people made slightly surprised expressions.

Some people are new to it, a few seem to have started to like it, and some are still getting used to it. Fortunately, there are no obvious discomforts.

The Chinese and overseas Chinese no longer join in the fun, and of course there are no new surprises. I feel that the Chinese people are not very united, and their various behaviors are very inconsistent. Some look suspicious, some seem to be moved, some look sad, and some

I don’t know what they are grinning about. The woman looking at the couple quietly looks around and seems to want to look back, but the man is looking at the stage with a serious face. The young man in his 30s and 40s over there wants to lie down on the chair.

The elderly people in their 60s and 70s sat there like clockwork. In short, the mental outlook of the compatriots was really not neat, and it seemed that there had been no prior communication and organization. The alumni of Shangpu were quite loyal, with more than a dozen people like this

Most of them enjoy music quietly and even calmly.

In fact, the dulcimer section of the first movement lacks sincerity, and the same goes for the folk music of the crew. There are only a few bars. If you listen to the fresh music, you may just get a taste of it, but if you are looking forward to listening to feelings and family affection, it is far from satisfying. With the re-joining of brass and percussion, the dulcimer melody with very vivid colors and simple lines retreated in a self-conscious and humble manner.

After the unfamiliar foreign sounds disappeared in the concert hall, the local orchestra quickly showed what the two-tube arrangement should look like. As each part began to take action, it seemed that the style of the music that had been obscured before was clarified. I have to admit that the New York audience has a lot of tricks up their sleeves, and the music has just begun to transform into secular music. Some people in the audience have already behaved as expected, and more experienced music critics even nodded with satisfaction and made some very interesting comments. A face-giving expression.

The New Ireland audience will of course be familiar with the music of the Renaissance, so when the music expresses the characteristics of that period more and more intensively, more and more people in the audience will be surprised. There is even a sense of intimacy and relief on the white faces or thick black faces, which is probably what they expect. Even some Chinese audiences seem to feel more at ease than when they listened to the dulcimer in unison. This is the dawn, if The music can continue to develop according to its current momentum. If the composer can maintain this state as much as possible instead of just making some gimmicks in the first movement to deceive people, then the second half will be safe and at least qualified to be on an equal footing with the first half.

However, not long after the concert hall entered the state of renaissance, at a time that was completely unexpected and could not find any theoretical support, but also could not find a single fault, with Yeromil's arms moving like Chang'e flying to the moon. , the four pipa players on the stage, who were almost cold-faced, raised their hands and fell, their expressions and music happening at the same time.

Different from the general audience's impression of the appearance of Pipa, Pipa's performance here was a bit shy, with her face half-hidden. However, the audience saw it, so they pricked up their ears again, and even Yang Jingxing went to support Puhai's premiere. Teacher You is also trying his best to capture the notes.

It didn’t require any effort from the audience. The pipa group only used two measures to over-exaggerate, and the color of the music changed drastically, almost turning it 180 degrees. The audience who were nostalgic for the Renaissance just now were really caught off guard, and many people were knocked back. The appearance of being surprised by the dulcimer. It is indeed an unfamiliar instrument. Moreover, as the pipa stands out from the Western orchestra with its pleasant melody, the timbre and rhythm have a toughness that does not show mercy to other parts. The New York audience behaves no better than Urami. It’s understandable that music fans are so calm.

Fortunately, Pipa didn't hold on for long. It stopped abruptly before irritating the unfamiliar audience. At the moment of overwhelming advantage, it suddenly disappeared without a trace amidst the overwhelming Western orchestral music. However, this kind of disappearance It seems that the feeling is even more uncertain, and it is very likely that it will suddenly pop up again. Jeromil's words seem to be really effective, and a few listeners seem to be really not scared, at least they have surprised expressions.

However, the composer did not intend to tease the audience, and the next direction of the music was simply a bit flattering, and the Baroque color soon became more intense. The composer's two- to three-minute Baroque imitation is more pleasing to more ordinary music fans. This is why everyone Familiar and fond of the taste, who in New Zealand would not like Baroque? However, music critics or peers may have some opinions. Their professional minds will reflexively judge which composers are imitated and paid tribute to in the analyzed music. , we need to think more deeply about how the composer appropriately connects and harmonizes these personal styles, and professional experts like professors need to analyze the advantages and disadvantages and meanings of similarities in form but dissimilarity in spirit. Therefore, for professional From the perspective of a professional, the work here already has serious suspicions of showing off, or even malicious embarrassment, or maybe provocation!

However, it only lasted for two or three minutes, and most of the professionals did not feel any obvious discomfort. Some seemed to be slightly nervous, but they stabilized in the end. Especially when the music progressed to the chorus part of brass and percussion,

It seems that it is clearly about to reach a climax. People in the industry seem to have temporarily put aside their prejudices among their peers, and they are more listening attentively. The more listeners are in a better state than during the Renaissance.

It felt like the wind and percussion music was about to reach its peak, and it was coming soon. The audience was all ready, and some people were adjusting their postures to prepare for it. The composer was stupid again, and I saw the conductor on the stage giving strong orders with his left hand.

The musicians suddenly braked at the same time, and the right hand was raised from the ground. The erhu group, which had already set up its bow, suddenly appeared on the stage, playing a melody that was beyond the understanding of pop music and serious music, and instantly

The lingering sound from before was swept away, and the concert hall entered another world.

Two or three seconds later, amidst the unique high-pitched beauty of the erhu group, there was almost a commotion in the concert hall. A sound that was not serious but definitely disrespectful came from front and back of the audience.

There are also words, these sounds are like complaints, protests, and sighs, and there are also many fussy and inappropriate actions such as raising hands, stretching necks to cover mouths. Even the people in the ticket box are not so calm and noble anymore, politicians

The wife almost looked shocked.

Not to mention smashing the pot, the performance in New Zealand should never be in a situation that is not stable enough. Although the situation is not very serious at present, for New York, Lincoln Center and New Zealand playing at home, the audience is now

Such an abnormal reaction should at least be written down in the annual diary. If it continues like this, Yeromil may end up losing his job, and he may become a big joke in the industry in half an hour because of the information society he advocates.

Fortunately, there are many professional players on the stage. Yeromir is still immersed in his enthusiasm. He has completely withstood the pressure. At this moment, his body and gestures are still moving towards the erhu group, and his movements seem to be even more intense.

It was unrestrained and unrestrained. The musicians who had rehearsed the piece for more than four hours also performed steadily. What should be commended the most was the folk music performers. They were all so calm and unfazed. The erhu group continued to devote themselves to it. At this moment in their hearts, it seemed

There is only music, and in addition to love, their expressions simply exude perseverance and bravery. Several other groups of folk music players also encouraged the erhu group with warm attention. These performers even dared to look directly into the turbulent audience, so calm and calm, as if they still had

A little bit of pride that cannot be erased by an artist.

Fortunately, at this moment, the scattered black hair and yellow skin in the concert hall did not show any abnormal reactions. The vast majority of Chinese people were concentrating on projecting their love, sadness, heaviness, and intoxication to the stage.

They were even touched, moved, and excited. Most Chinese people seemed not to care or didn't notice that the white people didn't make a fuss, but there were a few sensitive compatriots, and these people cast some ambiguous looks at the restless audience.

, it seems that it can be understood as friendly, but it also seems a bit like contempt, which is a bit complicated.

Fortunately, although the appearance of Erhu seemed too high-profile, the subsequent performance was worthy of such high-profile and capable of being high-profile. Although the evaluation of Pu Hai's sour-smelling expert that "every note is amazing" was too exaggerated.

Big, but He Hongchui also admitted that there is indeed a slight trend. I don’t know if the New York audience also has Pu Hai’s aesthetic standards, or if Americans are really tolerant. Anyway, there was just a small commotion in the concert hall and then recovered.

In order to maintain basic stability, most people continue to maintain their due composure.

The erhu is also getting better. With the background of the brass, the melody is more and more pleasing to the ears, meeting the audience's expectations time and time again. At least some people told the composer that it exceeded expectations. Unfortunately, this good momentum did not persist until the final harvest.

, when the audience once again raised their expectations and felt that another phrase was coming to an end, and when everyone was fully waiting for the answers to be revealed in the last few notes of the phrase, even the musicians who were fine were paying close attention to the stage.

The conductor suddenly seemed to have a convulsion, and the four erhu players seemed to be going crazy. Then the harmonious musical atmosphere in the concert hall was completely shattered by a string of extremely twisted and torn notes from the erhu.
To be continued...
