It's not just these people, Zhang Hao and his whole person are stupid.

As soon as he refreshed the page again, the festival schedule was already there.

Fu Tune, Cho Sung-jin, and Hamelin gathered again for the competition for the best performer at the second Ruhr Festival.

The organizing committee directly released the fight between Fu and their side, saying that they would compete for such a competition together again.

If that's the case, this kind of festival is not a particularly big festival, and it can be regarded as the second place in the Chopin International Piano Competition.

But now it is obvious that in addition to Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin, Zhang Hao also saw something different.

In a few days, Arkady Volodos, the best performer of the year 2015, will start his first concert on April 15, marking the start of the Ruhr Festival 2016.

Then, on April 18, Kissin appeared.

Immediately after Kisin was Lang Liangyue.

"What are you kidding?"

Zhang Hao's whole body was blinded, looking at the time schedule above, there was no way to believe what he was seeing now.

On Monday, April 18th, Kissin appears.

On Tuesday, April 19th, Lang Liangyue appeared.

Both are performed in the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra Concert Hall.

This is even more explosive than pulling Zhao Chengzhen and them over to confront Fu Diao.

Zhao Chengzhen and the others are at least already defeated by Fu Tune's subordinates, and you can even say that even if Zhao Chengzhen and these people play again, they may not be able to beat Fu Tune, and they can only become a small background board for Fu Tune.

But Kissin and Lang Liangyue are terrible.

Lang Liangyue and Kissin are the most well-known pianists, and both of them have a strong tendency to style directions.

Both of them are very characteristic individual performers.

If we simply discuss the solo concerts of the two, there may be little difference in the speed of ticket sales between the two of them, except for the difference in ticket prices.

And if you discuss the repertoire that the two are good at, you will find that the works that they are best at are basically all works that are more oriented towards the showmanship genre of Liszt Beethoven.

It's just that the playing styles of the two are different, and Lang Liangyue will imprint the expressiveness of music more on his body.

Even if you can't understand how he plays, you can feel the charm of his playing from his body.

Kissin's playing behavior is more prosaic, full of the reserved kind of old Europe.

In addition, the level and strength of the two may not be much different.

In the classical music circle, they basically compare Lang Liangyue with Kissin, trying to use their performances to prove which of them is stronger and which is weak.

Now the Ruhr festival group actually put Kissin and Lang Liangyue in the same place, let them confront each other head-on.

Now it's really interesting.

"Hao, what are you looking at?" Nina looked at Zhang Hao and laughed, and couldn't help asking.

Zhang Hao handed her the page in his hand, pointed to Lang Liangyue and Kissin on it and smiled.

"I feel like there's a bit of a mess on the Ruhr side, and they seem to like to have controversial pianists playing."

"Hey, it's true......"

Nina nodded thoughtfully and spoke.

"But the reputation of the Ruhr Piano Festival is already so strong, so it would be beneficial for them to let those pianists fight, right? It will make concert tickets sell better. ”

"Well, but in fact, they don't care how the tickets sell, after all, student tickets can be bought for only 10 euros, and their staff will not check whether you buy a student ticket or not, so a lot of people buy 10 euro student tickets directly, and they can sit in the front, obviously they are not sensitive to the price of concert tickets."

Zhang Hao smiled casually and explained to Nina.

Nina listened to Zhang Hao's explanation, obviously sympathetic, and couldn't help but nodded.

"Well, that seems to be the case."

"It's a pity that tickets haven't been opened yet, otherwise I really want to buy the ticket in the middle of the two."

Zhang Hao shook his head, looked at the content on the phone, said casually, and began to continue to scroll down.

April 22nd is Mitsuko Uchida's concert, but I heard that Mitsuko Uchida's health has not been good recently, and she may be temporarily replaced.

It's not clear who it will be replaced by, but it will definitely not be bad, at least it will be a player of Zhao Chengzhen's level.

He continued to look down the list, and when he saw a name from May, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Gina...... Alice? ”

"Gina Alice? Summer time? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the name? ”

Nina, who was originally looking at the performance list with Zhang Hao, couldn't help but look at Zhang Hao curiously, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you suddenly pause on her name?" Obviously, the Hamerin in front is more noteworthy, huh? ”

"Hammerlin, he doesn't have much to pay attention to, Hamerin belongs to the level of the god of technology, his skill level may be the highest among everyone, but his musical expression is not strong enough compared to his technicality, so listening to his performance I think it can be more of a model, not worthy of too much attention."

Zhang Hao shook his head and transferred from Hamerin to Gina Alice below.

He nodded at the man and said softly.

"This man...... It seems to have something to do with Lang Liangyue. ”

"Huh?"

Nina's eyes, who didn't seem to be interested, lit up instantly, looked at Zhang Hao with a bright light, took out a classic German salt stick snack from her schoolbag, opened it and crunched it, and said excitedly.

"Really? Can I hear anything interesting? ”

"Well, although it's not any interesting news, but this Gina and Lang Liangyue are very close, she is the head of Lang Liangyue's Global Piano Foundation, and often goes in and out of the same stage with Lang Liangyue, although her strength may be barely enough, but I always feel that she is still a little short of this stage."

"So is it considered shady, and giving Gina to the stage is shady?" Nina asked excitedly.

Zhang Hao shook his head.

"No, I don't think it's shady, to be precise, Gina's level of strength is actually okay, but she should belong to this stage outside the alternative, that is, if those top pianists can't decide to come, then Gina still has no problem coming to this stage, it can be regarded as the first line of alternatives, and her strength is not bad."

In 2009, she was admitted to the Frankfurt School of Music and Performance, where she studied with Benhardt, followed by Klaus Hellerwig in Berlin and Graffmann in New York...... It shouldn't be a normal follow. ”

"Huh? It's not normal to follow, so what is it? Does it have any special meaning to follow? ”

"If you follow the above semantics, I think they should use the words "who and who" to express her mentorship, and not use following, but use following here, and get further artistic inspiration, I think she may be ......"

Zhang Hao thought about it for a long time, suddenly remembered a word, snapped his fingers vigorously, and said clearly.

"That's right! Masterclass! I feel that this is more like a masterclass than an entrance study, she should have taken a masterclass with Klaus and Graffman, and that's it. ”

"......"

Nina didn't understand, but she felt that Zhang Hao was very handsome, and couldn't help but applaud.

This applause made Zhang Hao feel a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help scratching his head.

"But that's all speculation on my part, I'm not sure how she is...... Are you going to listen to her concert? If it were me, I didn't have particularly high expectations for her, and I felt that instead of listening to her concerts, I should go back and practice more. ”

"Egal (I don't care...... After all, I'm a jazz drum kit, and I'm more interested in those jazz pianos. ”

Nina said casually, not caring.

Zhang Hao had long been accustomed to Nina's attitude, so he just smiled and continued to look back.

Compared with the operation of putting Lang Liangyue and Kissin together, Fu Diao, Zhao Chengzhen, and Hamelin seem to be much simpler.

Cho Sung-jin was placed in Duisburg, a city not far from Essen, on Friday night.

Hamelin was placed in Mülheim, a city almost the equivalent of Essen.

The city doesn't even have a clear line with Essen, and you may not even feel like you're leaving Essen before you're already in Mülheim.

As for Fu Tiao......

Fu was placed in Essen, where Lang Liangyue played, and where Gina played.

The time is at the end of June and almost July like Sunday.

Three people, three nights in a tight row.

This time is different from before, this time Hamelin is finally no longer a person who exists on the stage independently of Fu Tuo and others, he will play between Zhao Chengzhen and Fu Tuo this time.

Now that's where it gets interesting.

Although he is an ordinary piano student, he also has the attributes of a musician.

He really couldn't wait to see this group of people fighting to the death.

He silently wrote the following concerts in his memo.

Kissin Vs Lang Liangyue, the battle for the strongest.

Hamelin shows off his skills.

Argerich & Barenboim siblings collaboration show.

Fu Tune Vs Zhao Chengzhen Vs Hamelin, Xiao Sai and the three of them reunited.

And......

Zimmerman's recital.

No matter which one of them, I feel that the thief is good-looking, and it feels particularly attractive.

Before he even listened, he was already inexplicably ablaze.

"Anyway, I always feel that this year's Ruhr Festival is getting more and more interesting, and I'm really looking forward to seeing who wins the best of the year."

Zhang Hao hugged his girlfriend beside him, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's been a really comfortable day.

……

Zhang Hao was not the only one who noticed this concert, but many others, many others noticed the concert in the Ruhr area.

Regardless of the audience of the original Ruhr Piano Festival.

Or maybe you're a fan of some of the top pianists.

While they were following a pianist's latest performance schedule, it was obvious that they were taking note of the music of top pianists from all over the world.

Compared with the previous dry performance, this time they actually invited Lang Liangyue and Kisin, who were difficult to invite, to do a head-on confrontation.

This directly aroused the G-spot of countless classical music lovers and made them excited.

And those confrontations that followed were even more so.

Even those in China who find it difficult to go to Europe for music festivals were equally surprised.

"I knock? Wait? A head-on confrontation between Kissin and Lang Liangyu? ”

"Argerich and Barenboim are working together again?"

"Wow, Zimmerman is really here this time, I really like Zimmerman, Uncle Qi is so handsome!"

"Lang Liangyue went to the Ruhr Piano Festival this year, does he have any other performances later this year?"

"I remember him saying that he might go to the Salzburg Festival, as for the rest, I don't know......"

"The Big Three of Shaw are facing each other head-to-head again? But I feel that the remaining two should be difficult to fight against Fu Diao, right? ”

"Zhao Chengzhen heard that his recent development is quite good, and he is said to be a powerful man at the French Conservatory, and he has become a piano master!"

"Really? It feels so powerful......"

“……”

Although they could not participate directly in the Ruhr Piano Festival, the discussion of the Ruhr Piano Festival was extremely exciting.

Even if some people have noticed Gina Alice's name, it is nothing to everyone at the moment, just a simple name.

This is not only the case in China, but also in Europe, where there is a lot of discussion about the scale of this year's Ruhr Piano Festival.

Compared with previous years, this year is really much more interesting, and this year's competition is much stronger.

It's really exciting.

Of course, such expectations are basically for outsiders, and for insiders, especially Fu Diao, he doesn't feel too much expectation.

……

"Taha! The end part! Please, can you give me more strength? You give too little power to the last part of the music, the ending of the music seems a little hollow, you are also a famous violinist, why do you make such a mistake. ”

"Dior, I know what you mean, but don't you think it's actually more interesting to be hollow? This is something I decided after thinking about it for a long time, and I really liked the hollowness of the place at the end of the music, don't you think this kind of music is very handsome? Dior? ”

"No, I don't like that interpretation."

Fu Tuo rubbed his head with a headache and looked at the people around him.

Mira is in favor of Fu Tune, and she also thinks that the hollowness of Taha doesn't feel right, a little different from the overall expression of the music, and it is too contrary to common sense.

But Camilo liked the interpretation.

Two-on-two, so everyone seemed a little stalemate.

Soon, though, the argument was over, as Fu Tune's cell phone rang.

Fu Diao picked up his phone and glanced at it, it was his agent who called him.

Only the phone numbers of his teacher and his agent have set up a whitelist, and as for others, they generally can't call Fu Tune's mobile phone.

The group of people on the side also knew about it, and after they picked up their phones and looked at the time, Taha sighed.

"Dior, let's stop today's rehearsal, we still have a little bit of controversy about this piece, which is the final ending, let's go back and ask Mr. Hubble about this controversy, the time is almost up, let's go first."

"Yes, Dior, you go and answer the phone first, we also have our own affairs, let's go first."

"Well, so am I."

Everyone waved to Fu Diao reasonably, and asked Fu Diao to answer the phone, Fu Diao couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and whisper to everyone, then walked outside the house with his mobile phone, connected the phone, and covered his mobile phone and whispered.

"Hello? What's the matter? I'm rehearsing. ”

"Sorry Dior, I disturbed your rehearsal, but I hope you can come to the company as soon as possible now, I have something to do with you."

"Come to the company? What do you do at the company? Is there anything new? Fu Tiao was puzzled.

The agent didn't hide it, and said directly.

"It's nothing, in fact, it's a very simple thing, I want to take you to pick up the airport, pick up someone, you don't have a car, so use my car to go over, I'll wait for you downstairs in the company, please hurry up."

"Pick up someone? Pick up whom? ”

Fu Diao looked dazed, but he didn't expect the agent to directly manage the phone.

Puzzled, he returned to the rehearsal room, packed up his belongings, and briskly ran to the nearby subway, then changed buses and came downstairs at Deutsche Grammophone.

In front of the company was parked an oversized ...... Van?

Fu couldn't tell whether this should be called a van, an official car, or a nanny car.

All in all, this is a Mercedes-Benz car that is as dark as a piano and reflects the sun.

His agent was standing at the door of the car with a large pile of papers, and when he saw him coming, he immediately opened the door, revealing two rows of leather sofa seats facing each other, and said to Fu.

"Come in quickly, Fu, we need to get to the airport now, speed."

"Who the hell are you going to pick up?"

Fu Tiao's face was full of doubts and followed the agent into the car, the door closed, with the sound of a steady motor, the vehicle quickly drove away from the company and walked towards the airport.

On the way to the airport, the agent took out a document from the file bag on the side and handed it to Fu Tiao, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly to Fu Tiao.

"It's Lang Liangyue, he's coming to Germany, first settled in Berlin, the global company above us sent us the reception task, I think you and he are both fellow countrymen, plus both are piano masters, maybe you will be more familiar with each other, can communicate more, so I will bring you with me."

"Lang...... Good moon? ”

Fu Tiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his pupils dilated slightly, and he asked with a hint of disbelief.

Ready to return to China, is there any one from Shanghai? On the 24th, at 11:30 p.m., came for supper? I don't have much money, but I have a late night snack ...... Probably, maybe there may still be?
