Chapter 637: Defend the Yellow River!

The sound is like iron, and every sentence is like steel!

Every time the hands rise and fall on the keys, it seems that the essence, energy, and spirit of the whole body are absorbed into the keys, so that the big movements of the body are driven, which looks very visually impactful! Even watching Chu Yang's performance, people will worry about whether the piano will be "smashed" by him in the next second!

But it is precisely because of this performance and such strength that the artistic conception of this song "Yellow River Anger" is fully interpreted!

An atmosphere of grief and indignation quietly spread at the scene!

Especially those soldiers, they have received systematic political education in the army, and they are especially familiar with that period of history and understand the background of the time of this song. Listening to such a piano sound, the expression of grief and indignation froze on their faces, and their fists couldn't help but clench freely!

In my mind, I seem to see the sea of corpses of compatriots who were killed by devils on the bank of the Yellow River, and a poor woman who was insulted by the devil soldiers in turn, crying at the surging water of the Yellow River, crying blood every word, and breaking her soul! In the end, she held the child who was killed by the devil's bayonet, less than a month old, and threw herself into the rolling Yellow River!

You have to settle this blood debt for me, you have to pay this blood debt for me!

The piano played this melody, and the sound was like a hammer, striking the hearts of these warriors!

The hot blood in the body is awakened, and the flame of hatred burns in the chest!

Blood debt must be repaid with blood!

Accompanied by Chu Yang playing the last low and powerful chord, the strings that had been suppressed for a long time sounded in unison again! The melody of the stretched "Yellow Water Ballad" resumes, but with a more atmospheric and firm love than before!

More than 100 musicians. There was a little more determination in their expressions, and this piece of music, which had been played hundreds of times in their hands, seemed to glow with a new spirit at this moment, making them feel a shock from the depths of their hearts!

The third movement ends with the main chord of the piano and strings, and after a moment of silence, accompanied by the sound of a timpani that seems to be like a thunderbolt, the fourth movement "Defending the Yellow River" officially opens the prelude!

The brass plays short but powerful phrases, creating an atmosphere of tension and tension, and finally. A phrase adapted from the music of "Dongfang Hong". It's over with the introduction!

Chu Yang, who was sitting in front of the piano, suddenly threw his arms up after this introduction and fell heavily towards the low register of the piano! Five-fingered keizhang. Like a goshawk fighting a rabbit. The moment your fingers make contact with the keys. It was as if the weight of the entire body was poured into the keys in an instant with this fall and grabbing!

A heavy chord. Burst at your fingertips! A firm momentum, at this moment, slowly emanated!

The arms drive the wrists, and march to the superior in small clauses, the speed is getting faster and faster, like an army of steel torrents, taking firm and powerful steps, forward!

The speed of the hands became faster and faster, gradually turning into two unclear afterimages on the keys, and even under the high-speed camera, it was still impossible to see the movements of the raised hands. And a series of mighty piano sounds erupted from between his hands!

Like an autumn wind, it swept over the keys, and finally both hands played a bright and resolute chord in the high register of the keys!

This chord, like a horn, was followed by two more rapid and intense streams, and then the strings, brass, and drum kits also joined in, playing the prelude to "Defending the Yellow River"!

"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring!"

Chu Yang's right hand rose and fell vigorously on the keys, and played the main theme of "Defending the Yellow River" with resolute and decisive chords!

At the same time, the left hand is in the low register, playing the repeated descending melody in an octave fast, creating a tense and rhythmic atmosphere!

The whole performance is full of dynamics, showing the spirit of the original song to the fullest!

A unique spirit that belongs to that era is fully displayed in the sound of the piano. Listening to such music, every heart that is gradually corrupted by the impetuous atmosphere of contemporary society gradually becomes pure!

Chu Yang's back was straight, leaning forward slightly, and every rise and fall of his hands on the keys was just the right kind of small movement, not exaggerated, but it could ensure that the strength entered the keys in the most comfortable state. The huge nine-foot Steinway vividly shows every detail of Chu Yang's performance! This piano concerto, which has been composed for nearly half a century, is now in Chu Yang's hands, and it has regained new vitality and brilliance!

The violin's brisk beating was added, and Chu Yang's hands began to dance flexibly on the keys, and the rhythm became light and agile, as if they were a group of astute guerrillas.

The alto violin and cello gradually joined in, and the momentum of the music gradually strengthened, like countless seeds, finally merged into a universal one, forming a chorus of millions of people!

Chu Yang's left hand suddenly rose high and fell heavily towards the keys!

The heavy bass sounded, and once again at a slow pace, the original theme was played!

Immediately after, the right hand swept over the keys, bringing a dazzling series of rapid arpeggios. Although the speed is extremely fast, the graininess of each note is so clear, like a small and round bead, bouncing around on the ground, beautiful!

Xu Long listened to the sound of the piano, and the whole person was drunk! This is the most beautiful and intriguing song he has ever heard, "Defending the Yellow River"! As a conductor, no one is more sensitive to the sound of the performers. Several versions of the Yellow River, he has his own evaluation. Needless to say, the most classic is definitely the earliest version of Yin Chengzong, who, like himself, is a person of that era, and the music he plays also carries the spirit of that era. Kong Xiangdong's version is rich in rice-style romantic freedom, more than gorgeous but not enough spirit, as for Lang Lang's performance, many people now praise him very highly, Xu Long also admits that his piano skills are very good, but on this piece alone, Xu Long feels that he plays too fancy, too much emphasis on the display of skills, but ignores the spirit of the times in the song, so from the heart, Xu Long does not like his version very much.

But at this moment, listening to Chu Yang's version, Xu Long had a refreshing feeling! Chu Yang's technique is the best among pianists he has ever seen, but the most important thing is not this, but Chu Yang's understanding of this piece in music is far beyond his expectations. He originally thought that Chu Yang, as a post-90s generation, would definitely not have as deep an understanding of that era as those who experienced it, but when he heard Chu Yang play the theme of "Yellow River Resentment", he knew that he was wrong, and the feelings expressed in the sound of the piano almost perfectly showed the spirit of the song! Even Xu Long could barely control his feelings when he heard it, and tears almost poured out of his eyes!

And this song "Defending the Yellow River" is the most classic version he has heard! Technology, art, and spirit are perfectly combined, so that even his "golden ears" can't hear even the slightest deficiency!

He has a hunch that after tonight's performance, this version of "Yellow River" will become a generation of classics!

The piano sound became more and more urgent, and the chord clash became more and more intense, as if the struggle had entered the final critical moment!

When the extremely discordant ninth chord, under Chu Yang's tremolo, pushed the whole music to the most tense atmosphere, the instruments of the entire symphony orchestra suddenly began a round of unison, with the largest sound, slowly launched the theme of "Dongfang Hong"!

In front of the huge Stanway, Chu Yang's hands played a loud and powerful chord in unison, and with a firm momentum, he played the theme of "Dongfang Hong"!

The east is red, the sun is rising!

The sound like a loud bell pushed the whole music to a climax! While playing the main melody, the left hand beats vigorously in the bass range, which adds a thick weight to the music!

The stage lights of the audience suddenly switched and turned into a dazzling red!

At the same time, on the big screen at the back of the stage, a portrait of the chairman in his youth wearing an octagonal hat appeared!

Xu Long was surrounded by such music, and looked up at the portrait, in which the chairman was looking at him with a peaceful and firm gaze!

At this moment, Xu Long couldn't control his feelings anymore, and let tears gush out of his eyes, dripping all over his face!

The movements he commanded suddenly became very large, and he opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the music in his arms, and as if he was saluting the chairman on the big screen!

Not only Xu Long, but under the impetus of this grand theme, everyone's feelings were collectively ignited! An inexplicable thing, from the deepest part of the heart, gushing out irrepressibly, the tear glands seem to be uncontrollable, gushing out large streams of tears, flowing down the face!

More than 100 musicians, as if they had been enchanted, mobilized all the essence, qi and spirit of their bodies at this moment! In such music, the souls of all people are collectively baptized!

The military phalanx of more than 1,000 people, without anyone's command, suddenly stood up in unison at this moment, facing the direction of the screen, and gave a military salute neatly!

The No. 1 leader looked at this scene and was moved! After more than half a century of ups and downs, he is used to seeing ups and downs, and in the face of such music and such a pianist, he can't help but reveal his true temperament! The corners of his eyes were a little moist, and a kind of power quietly condensed in the bottom of his heart!

On the stage, Chu Yang's arms fell wildly, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the qin. He just closed his eyes like that, and let his arm make exaggerated movements on the keys, and his whole soul and mind seemed to be integrated into this melody!

In the end, accompanied by a firm and powerful ending chord, Chu Yang's piano sound came to an abrupt end with the symphony, drawing a successful end to this song "Defending the Yellow River"!

The moment the music came to an end, in the center of the first row of the audience, a majestic figure stood up and applauded slowly! (To be continued......)
