Chapter 403: Gold Award

From grief and indignation to emotion and relief, the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata" played by Liao Yuan perfectly illustrates the theme of the whole piece, especially in the climax stage, all kinds of emotions swirl in people's ears and flow in their hearts, and people seem to be in it, becoming the great musician more than 200 years ago.

The judges glanced at each other, and in shock, admiration, emotion and admiration, they bowed their heads slightly.

Finally, the deafening music that swept through the heart like a storm stopped.

But the aftermath lingered, and the cry of indignation, unyielding, and not compromising with fate seemed to echo in my ears at this moment.

After enjoying a moment of silence, the audience stood up again and applauded vigorously.

This time, even the judges couldn't help but stand up and salute.

Being able to perform the world-famous "Moonlight Sonata" to this level is intoxicating and mesmerizing, and there is almost no other place in the world.

Sean stood up in silence and clapped softly.

Although his performance of the "Winter Wind Etude" is the top work of Chopin's series and his best work, in the face of this dazzling fingering like wind and lightning, and the emotions that burst out of it, Sean felt overwhelmed.

It's a very powerless feeling.

He knows that even if he is very good at the Beethoven series, there is still a lot of gap compared with Liao Yuan's "Moonlight Sonata" at the moment.

No, not even a level.

He stared at Liao Yuan, who was bowing on the stage, calmed down a little, and walked on the stage again.

After that, another player, Wu Di, also walked up.

"Teacher!" Wu Di had a strange excitement on his face.

When I witnessed Sean playing "Winter Wind Etudes", I was a little worried about the strength of the teacher......

Sure enough, all the bells and whistles are vain, and in the face of absolute strength, even if he is as strong as Sean, he has to bow down.

Of course, professional pianists can tell which is better and which is worse.

But this is the competition, and it all depends on the decision of the judges.

So, when Liao Yuan, Wu Di, and Sean stood on the stage, all the judges walked out of their seats.

"I am very happy that the youngest pianists gathered here at the beginning of this century, and the excitement of this year's Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition is no less than that of any other world in the past, especially after I saw Liao, Wu, Sean, Laura and other players, I am even more gratified, they are like Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven when they were young, and they are so talented......"

The famous composer John Philip said with a smile: "...... Now, after my discussion and decision with the judges, we will announce the results of the competition, after which we will invite Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to present the trophy to our Gold Award winner. ”

The atmosphere of the scene rose, and after many judges compared the results again, the announcement of the rankings finally began.

Without any bells and whistles, John Philip read out the list of the top three winners.

"First of all, the bronze medal winner, congratulations to Wu Di, a young pianist from China. ”

As soon as the words ended, there was applause at the scene, and a band began to play.

Wu Di smiled.

The result was exactly what he had guessed, and he knew the gap between himself and Liao Yuan and Sean.

Compared with Sean, what he lacks is an outburst of emotion, and he does not fall behind in the condensation of technology.

But compared with the teacher Liao Yuan, it was definitely crushed in all aspects.

He was convinced.

Wu Di was even a little lucky, if it weren't for the fact that the judges on the scene focused more on technical flow players, he might even be in danger of squeezing into the top five.

Then it was the silver winner's turn to be announced.

Philip licked his lips and without the slightest hesitation, said, "Next, our Silver Award winner......"

There was a slight silence.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Philip with wide eyes.

The party Sean clenched his fists even more nervously, although he knew that there was little hope, but there was always some hope.

As long as there is hope, there is expectation.

He couldn't help but look at Liao Yuan.

found that Liao Yuan looked at his nose and nose, and his expression did not have any abnormality, quietly waiting for the announcement of the result.

This powerful composure made Sean feel more and more unfathomable about Liao Yuan.

It seems that everything is under control, and there is an illusion of turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain......

"Congratulations to Sean Wilder, a young pianist from the United States!"

Sean smiled wryly, but he wasn't too disappointed, but when he looked at Liao Yuan, the sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart was even more profound.

It's a high mountain.

No one can climb over it.

In the past, some people may have questioned Liao Yuan's level, after all, Liao Yuan was born in pop music and has never won a classical music award.

But now, all of that criticism has gone silent.

When he won the Queen Elizabeth Competition, the world's top classical music competition, he won the championship.

From then on, he was the king of this world.

"Finally, it is our gold medal winner, yes, he is also from China, he is Liao Yuan, our new gold medal winner of the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition!"

When Philip said the name of the gold medal winner aloud, the audience, who was already boiling, immediately cheered and applauded.

The live band played the theme song of the competition.

Viewers all over the world also witnessed the scene from their screens.

"CCTV, CCTV, here is the CCTV news channel ......"

"After nearly 50 days of fierce battles, Mr. Liao Yuan, a famous pianist, composer and educator in China, won the gold medal of the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition in Belgium today, which is the first time that a Chinese pianist has won this honor, causing a ......sensation in the world."

"It is reported that the Queen Elizabeth Piano Competition is the world's top music competition, with classical pianists from hundreds of countries around the world participating in the competition, and his gold content is equivalent to the Harvard-Oxford ...... in the education industry."

At the same time, Mr. Wu Di, a famous pianist in China who won the gold medal of the Tchaikovsky Competition, won the bronze medal. ”

"This is The Times, yes, as we predicted before, there is no surprise, Liao Yuan has gone to the top position with the strongest attitude, and after the game, the Times will invite Liao Yuan, the gold medal winner of this year's Queen Elizabeth Competition, to give an exclusive interview. ”

"This is the Guardian, Sean loses, Liao wins the Queen Elizabeth Contest......"
