Chapter 213: Music Conductor
The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, and the Yellow River is roaring......
Liao Yuan's hands ran back and forth on the piano keys, like a long river that was flowing endlessly, rolling in, the fierce picture, Zhou Yijun was speechless in an instant.
God!
What a tune this is!
So magnificent, so surging, so breathtaking!
Zhou Yijun had turbulent waves in his heart.
After a song, Liao Yuan was still unsatisfied, and immediately played "Dongfang Hong" again.
After the fierce and magnificent, as if to swallow mountains and rivers, the long and continuous piano sound of "Dongfang Hong" instantly soothed the voice of Zhou Yijun.
"Perfect movement!"
Zhou Yijun grabbed Liao Yuan's shoulders and said excitedly: "The most perfect movement in my heart is such a tune!
Liao Yuan looked at Zhou Yijun's tearful appearance, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Defending the Yellow River" can be said to be one of Liao Yuan's favorite classical music, in his heart, this piece of music has almost the same weight as "The Internationale", and it is also one of the most familiar pieces of music for every descendant of Yan and Huang.
In the face of Zhou Yijun's praise, Liao Yuan said modestly: "It's good if Dean Zhou likes it!"
"Not only do I like it, but the chiefs will like it too!"
Zhou Yijun laughed, his eyes shining because of tears.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his phone, "I've already recorded it, I'll go to Minister Guo, and when I get the instructions, let's immediately seize the time to practice!"
Zhou Yijun even excitedly took the video to find Guo Gan, the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture.
For this state banquet, Minister Guo was responsible for coordinating the whole theatrical performance.
Liao Yuan was not idle, and under the arrangement of Dean Zhou, he began to meet with the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House.
The two sides have cooperated before, and they know each other well.
In Liao Yuan's previous concerts in Kyoto, Liao Yuan's performance ability completely conquered these musicians.
Hearing that Liao Yuan was going to perform the concerto with Liao Yuan as the core this time, everyone was very excited, and they patted their chests and said that they would devote the most energy to practice and play.
After all, the state banquet is a major event, and there is no room for soothing or mishap.
And Liao Yuan also pushed away all the work at hand, and notified the violinist Pei Hongyu by phone to be there.
When Pei Hongyu heard that she was going to play in front of the national leaders, she was stunned.
Even if he was calm, after hanging up the phone, he jumped up and down excitedly and screamed twice.
For a lot of young musicians, this is definitely a great honor.
Soon, the musicians of the entire symphony orchestra gathered, and Pei Hongyu also packed their luggage with Xiao Peng, Fu Xiaoci and others and came to Kyoto.
Fu Xiaoci was pleasantly surprised, and Xiao Peng was also very excited, but he didn't have too many greetings with Liao Yuan.
Because there was not much time, after Pei Hongyu arrived, Liao Yuan immediately began to count the list of personnel.
The symphony, full of concertos and symphonies, is used this time because it is to highlight Liao Yuan's personal piano solo skills, so the theme of the concerto is used.
The concerto generally consists of three movements, and after thinking about it, Liao Yuan is ready to mix "Defending the Yellow River", "Dongfang Hong" and a small part of "The Internationale" together to have a grand concerto performance feast.
Since Liao Yuan is the creator and main performer, all the musicians of the entire symphony orchestra are selected by Liao Yuan himself.
This made all the musicians nervous.
After all, it is a state banquet performance, it is to show its face in front of the leaders, and it is to be noticed by all countries in the world.
Even if there is only one shot, the musicians are willing.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I don't even have the qualifications to participate.
But obviously, Liao Yuan noticed this.
In terms of personnel, he did not neglect one over the other, and after carefully inquiring about the number of musicians at the Kyoto Opera House, he waved his hand and signed a full twenty-five violinists, if Pei Hongyu is added, it is twenty-six.
In addition, counting the drummers, flutists, trumpeters, and pipa players, the entire performance team reached nearly 50 people.
As for the selection of music conductors, since the Kyoto Opera House mainly performs operas and does not have a fixed conductor, Liao Yuan called Zhang Qiming, vice president of the Tokai Music Association, and invited him to join.
Zhang Qiming has served as the music conductor of Liao Yuan's concerts many times, and he is an old acquaintance.
Hearing Liao Yuan's invitation, he thought it was another performance for fans, but Zhang Qiming didn't make much excuses and readily agreed.
When Zhang Qiming flew from the East China Sea to Kyoto, standing at the meeting point of the Kyoto Opera House, and hearing the explanation of the dean Zhou Yijun, Zhang Qiming was dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you going to perform at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse?" Is it a state banquet?"
"Yes. Zhou Yijun said with a smile.
He deeply understood Zhang Qiming's feelings at this time, and when he informed the other musicians in the opera house, some people were more crazy than Zhang Qiming, and there were countless people who cried with excitement.
Zhang Qiming bit his finger instantly, looking incredulous.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Liao Yuan, with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Liao...... No, Liao Yuan, Brother Yuan, you are my brother, thank you, thank you!"
The other musicians around laughed when they saw this.
Zhang Qiming also smirked, but there was trembling in his laughter.
At this moment, there was joy and worry in his heart.
You must know that the music conductor is the most prominent one in the piano concerto besides the pianist.
Although the audience turned their backs to the audience, his every move was also noticed under a magnifying glass.
However, due to cultural differences, educational physique and other reasons, China has not given birth to world-renowned great conductors, even if they are first-line conductors in China, there are only a handful.
A good music conductor can be said to be the soul of the entire orchestra.
It is necessary not only to have a good ear, but also to have a deep foundation in ear training, and to be able to pick out mistakes from the performance of dozens or even hundreds of people during the rehearsal process.
In addition, it is necessary to have a professional theoretical foundation that is no less than that of a composition student, and a level of understanding of history and culture that is no less than that of a liberal arts student, so as to be able to understand and analyze the work professionally and deeply.
Such difficulty leads to many people being daunted, so unless it is full of love, it is impossible to persevere in the learning process.
This also directly leads to the lack of music conductors and excellent conductors in China.
Although Zhang Qiming is a national-level conductor, he does not have the opportunity to appear on such a grand occasion as a state banquet, nor does he have the opportunity to participate in a national-level concert.
And this time, due to Liao Yuan's recommendation, his resume can be said to have instantly added a lot of color.
This experience is definitely a great improvement in the style and grade of his whole person, and stepping into the ranks of first-line conductors is just around the corner.
But if there is a mistake, it will definitely be a Taishan-like pressure, and when the time comes, it will not only be ridiculed by peers, but even ridiculed by the international community, and lose face for the country.
In this situation, the pressure on Zhang Qiming is huge, but he also knows that this is a big opportunity that he must firmly grasp.
The arrival of Zhang Qiming made the whole team complete.
Liao Yuan first distributed the scores, carefully discussed and studied them with the musicians, and then went down to play them in person, so that everyone could experience the true spiritual core of this concert.
