Chapter 551: Bolshoi Theater Concert, Packed

The time entered July, and the theme concert of "Liang Zhu" in Moscow, which had been prepared for more than a month, officially began.

This concert has been promoted by the Russian media for some time.

Because Sumarokov will be a guest and collaborate with Lu Xianger on the concerto "Liang Zhu" at the concert.

The concert will take place at the Moscow State Theatre.

If only Lu Xianger's fame is used, it is actually difficult to book the Moscow National Theater.

However, with the presence of Sumarokov, things are simpler.

July 5th.

The concert was officially held, and the symphony orchestra with which it collaborated was the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

The Moscow State Theatre was packed.

Because this is the second time that Sumarokov has appeared on the official concert stage after six years.

During these six years, Sumarokov was semi-retired, and although he occasionally performed a short part on some private evenings, none of them were formal performances.

Tonight's concert is a formal stage.

The head of the concert is the theme concert of Lu Xianger, Sumarokov and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra "Liang Zhu".

The reason why Lu Xiang'er's name is put in front is because this concert is actually organized by Lu Xiang'er and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, and Sumarokov is a guest guest.

Moreover, the concert lasted for two hours, and Sumarokov would only appear in the final concerto of "Liang Zhu".

The music played in front of him was all in charge of Lu Xiang'er.

Just after seven o'clock, the auditorium was basically full.

In the Russian audience, there were many elderly people with gray temples.

After all, there were a lot of spectators who came for Sumarokov.

Sumarokov is already over sixty years old, and many of the viewers who appreciate him are naturally elderly.

The fact that Sumarokov wrote a letter asking for the music CD of "Liang Zhu" has long been a good story in the music circle.

The audience that can sit here is basically people who like symphony, and they have also heard this story.

Therefore, some viewers wanted to see what it was like for the young musician who asked Sumarokov to write a letter asking for a CD.

The gold medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition more than a month ago had already made Lu Xianger famous in Russia.

However, what the audience sees is the news reported by the media, newspapers, and the Internet, and not many people have actually seen Lu Xiang'er play on the spot.

The concert starts at half past seven.

So, there's almost twenty minutes left.

In the audience, many of them are old acquaintances.

After all, there are not many people who regularly watch concerts.

Many older viewers communicate privately.

"It's a bit of a pity to say that the last time Tchaikovsky competed, I went to England to see my granddaughter, and I didn't have time to watch it."

"Then I'm better, I watched it live. There was a live broadcast of the game at the time, didn't your son broadcast it to you? ”

"Symphony can only be heard live in the concert hall, and what comes out of the speakers is not called a symphony."

"That's right. It's a pity that today's young people don't like these anymore. ”

"Not exactly, aren't there a lot of young people sitting here?"

"If you think about it, the last time I heard Mr. Sumarokov play, it was six years ago."

"Then I'm better, at a friend's birthday party, I listened to Mr. Sumarokov play a birthday song, hahaha......"

"It's hard to imagine what Mr. Sumarokov is like when he plays a birthday song."

"Mr. Sumarokov is a very kind and interesting person in private."

In the midst of the discussion.

The insight gradually came to 7:25.

The Moscow Symphony Orchestra began to enter, and the audience chatting on the spot gradually began to quiet down, waiting for the concert to begin.

After the musicians of the symphony orchestra are ready.

Lu Xianger appeared on the stage in a white swan dress, stood on the side of the conductor's podium, and nodded to the orchestra conductor.

The conductor of the orchestra takes his baton and points towards the strings, and the music plays.

The first movement of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major begins.

The concerto consists of three movements and is 35 to 40 minutes long.

Therefore, although Lu Xianger played this concerto on the field, she did not play the whole piece at one time.

During the competition, due to time constraints, all excerpts were played.

As a famous Russian composer, Tchaikovsky will definitely perform this concerto in its entirety to meet the expectations of the Russian audience when he holds a concert in Moscow this time.

The first movement begins with a simple, serene string piece, followed by a rhythmic motive, and the music's increasing sense of power sets the stage for the thematic presentation of the movement.

Then, the first movement officially enters the theme of the piece, and the music is idyllic and natural.

Gradually, the main instrument, the violin, is introduced.

Lu Xiang'er kept listening to the music with her eyes closed, and when she waited until the main instrument part, she slowly put the bow on the strings and began to play.

The melodious, fresh sound of the piano reverberates in the Moscow State Theater.

Immerse the entire space in a sea of music.

Although Lu Xianger won the gold medal at the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, her popularity in Russia has just begun.

Therefore, some Russian audiences may have heard of such an oriental violinist, but in fact, the vast majority of the audience at the scene have not heard Lu Xianger's live performance.

More than ninety percent of the audience came because of Sumarokov and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

Therefore, Lu Xianger, as the principal violin tonight, if the performance level does not meet the requirements of the audience, the audience will not give face.

However, with the sound of the violin.

Many audience members at the scene couldn't help but close their eyes, listen carefully, and nod silently.

Many viewers have the same idea in their hearts: worthy of being a gold award winner, the level is still there.

The violin solo that followed caught the audience's ears.

Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major was composed during a period of recuperation after marital problems.

So the emotions of this concerto, like those of Tchaikovsky, rise and fall, and finally calm down.

After the performance, it was finally time for tonight's theme concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

This piece of music is still relatively unfamiliar to Russian audiences.

The Russian audience had heard the name of this concerto many times, but it was heard in the story of Sumarokov writing a letter asking for a CD.

Now, Sumarokov and Lu Xianger are going to officially collaborate on this concerto.

According to the original arrangement of the Violin Concerto, there is only one violin as the main instrument.

However, this time Sumarokov was invited to perform, so tonight's "Liang Zhu" has two violins as the main instruments.

For tonight's performance, Sumarokov has been practicing for a month.

The two stood next to the podium, with a music stand in front of them, on which the scores were placed.

Lu Xiang'er doesn't need a musical score, this piece has been played too many times, and the notes have been integrated into the bone marrow.

Sumarokov hadn't played in a formal setting for too long, so he was a little nervous and specially arranged a music stand.

The performance begins.

The string ensemble took the lead, and melodious music reverberated through the Moscow State Theatre.

Two violinists, one old and one young, work together to present this poignant love story to the audience.

The love story told by Lu Xianger with the sound of the piano is sweet and warm, full of vitality and joy.

The story told by Sumarokov's piano is equally sweet and warm, but there is more memory and peace in the piano.

The sound of his piano is like an old photo album sitting by the fireplace, waiting to be opened.

The expectation of reminiscing about substitution seems to tell a story from a long, long time ago, but it seems to have happened yesterday.

Many of the Russian audience in the audience were loyal viewers of Sumarokov.

Especially the older audience, some of whom had not been to a concert for a long time, but heard that Sumarokov was going to perform at the National Theater and got together again.

These older Russian audiences, when they were young, listened to many Sumarokov concerts and felt the changes in Sumarokov's sound along the way.

This time, it seems like there's something heavier and heavier.

Make these viewers feel worthwhile.

Although they can already feel that Sumarokov is indeed old and his playing level is no longer at his peak, the extra sense of heaviness has exceeded his playing skills.

And that's not all.

Lu Xianger's smart piano sound, combined with it, produces a different sense of hearing.

It seems to tell the same love story in two time and space.

The same story from different eras is amazing.

At the end of the two-hour concert, it was not until Lu Xianger and Sumarokov bowed to the audience together that the audience burst into warm applause.

After the concert, no audience left.

Sumarokov asked for a microphone and had something to say.

At the end of the concert, there will be occasional speakers by the musicians, but it is not a regular session.

Sumarokov has not played on a formal occasion for six years, and after this time, there may not be a next one, so he has something to say.

And the audience in the audience sat in their seats, waiting, like an old friend who had known each other for a long time, reuniting again, not knowing when the next time would be.

"Sir, Madam, thank you for coming to our concert, it's been six years since we last performed in this concert hall......"

Sumarokov's mood fluctuated, and his tone trembled a little: "After the performance six years ago, I thought I was going to retire and would not be on stage again.

"However, when I heard the concerto "Liang Zhu" on the stage, I suddenly wanted to play it again on stage.

"I really like this concerto, and a lot of people tell me that story.

"Yes, that's true.

"I think it's a really good piece of music, so I want to share it with everyone.

"And ......"

When he said this, he glanced at the violin in his hand: "This violin is the work of the famous luthier Vladimir of our country, and it has been with me for twenty years.

"I've played more than a thousand performances with this violin.

"Ever since I stopped on stage, he was like a dusty bead that could only sleep in the case.

"So, I hope I can give this violin to Miss Lu Xiang'er.

"Hopefully it will continue to speak and shine."

When the audience heard this, they immediately caused a burst of discussion.

Lu Xianger was also surprised, she didn't know about it before the concert started.

At this time, I suddenly heard that Sumarokov was going to give away a violin, and I was a little confused.

The violin is an instrument that can be ridiculously expensive.

Especially for violins used by world-class performers, the price will be famous, and the price is immeasurable.

Just the names of the luthier Vladimir and the virtuoso Sumarokov, the price of this violin is at least 10 million.

If you really take it to auction, you will meet people who like this piano, and there is no cap.

"It's too precious, it's too precious." Lu Xiang'er was a little flustered and didn't dare to accept such a valuable gift.

"I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to play on stage again. And, I hope it will continue to make a beautiful sound, instead of lying in a pitch-black case, waiting to rot. Sumarokov solemnly handed the violin to Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er didn't know how to excuse herself, so she could only take the violin first.

Afterwards, the symphony orchestra once again closed the curtain to the audience.

The audience left one after another.

……

When he arrived at the backstage, Fang Xing waited in the background.

Lu Xiang'er held the violin and asked, "What should I do?" This violin ......"

"Don't worry, it's late tonight, we'll visit the old gentleman tomorrow." Fang Xing didn't care so much.

The next day.

The headline on the front page of the entertainment news of the Russian media was that Sumarokov gave Lu Xianger a violin and put the value of the violin in the headline.

The tens of millions of violins are so eye-catching that they suddenly became news.

The news was reprinted back to China by the domestic media on the same day, and it also exploded the hot search list.

Attracted countless netizens to discuss:

[Is it really a 10 million violin directly?] 】

[To correct, this price is actually just a general statement, as long as it has not been bought or sold, it is priceless.] 】

[In fact, this level of violin is difficult to estimate by price. Because there is no flow through the market, there is no specific price. Those violins with accurate numbers have actually been auctioned and really sold for such high prices. 】

[The price of the violin can indeed be outrageous to the extent that ordinary people cannot understand, and there are even violins that claim to cost more than 100 million. However, in fact, there are very few that are really circulating in the market, and there is no market. 】

[Did Lu Xianger really accept it? ] Is it appropriate to suddenly receive such a valuable gift? 】

[Fang Xing can earn more than a dozen violins by filming a drama, thinking about it this way, it's actually okay. 】

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

The next day, Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er went to visit Sumarokov's residence, and then saw many cars parked in front of the door.

Sumarokov's sons and daughters gathered in the house and were arguing.

Fang Xing didn't expect things to develop so quickly, he was a little surprised, standing at the door and glancing at Lu Xiang'er, looking at each other. (End of chapter)
