Chapter 725: "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" shocked Vienna, a new starting point for Chinese music

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The new year has arrived.

The Chinese National Orchestra led by Wang Xuan also arrived at its last stop: the Vienna New Year's Concert.

In Vienna, a music capital full of art and romance, the annual New Year's Concert is undoubtedly the most anticipated event for music lovers around the world. This music carnival brings together the world's top musicians and the most classic repertoire, becoming an annual event in the music industry.

Outside the concert hall, the night is as dark as ink, deep and quiet. Bright lights shine through the windows of the concert hall, as if announcing to the world the wonderful musical journey that is about to take place here. On the street, people are in a hurry, but they are all heading in the same direction - the concert hall. They come from different countries, have different skin colors and cultural backgrounds, but at this moment, they are all attracted by a mysterious force, that is, the Chinese folk music that is about to sound on this stage.

Walking into the concert hall, the lights are brilliant, like an independent musical universe. The gorgeous decorations and exquisite sculptures make people feel like they are in a palace of art. The audience are dressed in their best clothes, with excitement and anticipation on their faces. They chat quietly in their seats, guessing what kind of surprises tonight's concert will bring. Some people hold the program and carefully study the track introduction on it; others sit quietly, closing their eyes, as if they are feeling the charm of music in advance.

A special orchestra will be on stage at tonight's concert. They are a group of top Chinese folk instrument performers who shoulder the sacred mission of showing the charm of Chinese traditional music to global audiences. Each performer is like a music messenger, stepping onto this international stage with their love and persistence for folk music. They are dressed in gorgeous traditional costumes with exquisite embroidery, as if telling the ancient story of China. These costumes complement the folk instruments in their hands, forming a colorful cultural landscape.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice was heard.

"Which country's band is that?"

"It seems to be China."

"Ah? China? Isn't China a desert of music? What charm can Chinese folk instruments show on this solemn stage?"

"Perhaps it was just a risky move by the organizers in pursuit of novelty. I'm afraid it can hardly compare with our traditional symphony."

These two conversations come from a couple.

A blond, blue-eyed man in a suit sat in the audience. He looked at the Chinese orchestra and shook his head slightly, with a barely perceptible disdain on his lips. He was a senior classical music lover, with deep feelings and firm beliefs for traditional Western symphony. In his opinion, the elegance and refinement of Western music was irreplaceable.

The woman was wearing a gorgeous evening gown and dazzling jewelry, and her eyes were full of suspicion. She had listened to top symphony performances at many international music festivals, and she was reserved about the unfamiliar Chinese folk instruments.

As soon as they finished talking, they found that the people around them were looking at them as if they were looking at a fool.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at us?" the woman asked puzzled.

"Why are we looking at you? You can say such stupid things, and you still ask why we are looking at you?"

"Where did you come from? Africa??"

"You probably haven't watched the videos of the Light City Concert and the Berlin Concert that ended not long ago? I suggest you watch the videos now, and you will understand how stupid your words are?"

"The Chinese Orchestra was a blast at the Lantern City Concert and the Berlin Concert. Those Chinese instruments are amazing, especially the suona and guzheng, which I quite like."

"In the entire music industry right now, I guess you two are the only ones who dare to look down on Chinese musical instruments."

"."

The couple was speechless for a moment.

Soon, the curtain of the concert slowly opened amid everyone's anticipation. The bright lights illuminated the entire stage. The seats were packed, and music lovers from all over the world were looking forward to the familiar melodies of classic Western symphonies.

The beginning of the concert was no different from the previous ones. Piano, violin, cello, orchestra... took turns to perform, either solo or in combination. After each performance, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience.

But this year's Vienna Concert is different from previous years. The biggest difference is that this time the Chinese National Orchestra appeared!

When a group of musicians dressed in traditional Chinese costumes appeared on the stage, holding not the pianos, violins and other Western instruments that the audience was accustomed to, but Chinese folk instruments with unique shapes and full of oriental charm, the whole scene was boiling.

The couple who were questioning the atmosphere were a little stunned. They didn't expect that the Huaguo Orchestra would be so popular. You know, there were many famous orchestras that performed before, but they were not so enthusiastic when they performed.

Over there, the conductor of the Chinese National Orchestra this time was not Su Hao, but Fang Jinlong. Because in the future the Chinese National Orchestra will definitely go out into the world, but Su Hao can't follow it every time.

As the lights gradually dimmed, the entire concert hall seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil. The musicians on the stage took their positions, and the national instruments in their hands exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Today, Fang Jinlong was dressed in a gorgeous suit, with an exceptionally tall and elegant figure. He walked steadily to the podium, his figure tall and confident, as if he was a guide leading everyone into a musical wonderland. He gently raised his hand to signal the start of the concert. At this moment, the whole audience was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the soul-stirring music to sound.

Instantly, a melodious and ethereal melody sounded. It was the sound of the guzheng, like the gurgling water, as if bringing people into a mysterious oriental wonderland. The player's fingers danced lightly on the strings, and each note was like a crystal clear water drop, dripping into people's hearts, creating ripples. The guzheng's tone was clear and bright, sometimes like a breeze, sometimes like a spring, making people feel as if they were in a beautiful landscape painting.

The guzheng player closed her eyes slightly and devoted herself to the performance. Her face was filled with a look of concentration and intoxication, as if she had merged with the instrument in her hands. Her fingers jumped and slid on the strings, as if telling an ancient and beautiful story. The audience was attracted by the wonderful music, and they listened quietly, as if forgetting the passage of time. Then, the sound of the erhu joined in, gentle and sad, like weeping and complaining, telling an ancient story. The erhu player closed his eyes slightly and devoted himself to the performance. His body swayed gently with the rhythm of the music, as if he had merged with the instrument in his hands. The timbre of the erhu was like weeping and complaining, as if telling an ancient and moving legend, which made people immersed in it and feel the deep emotions.

The melody of the erhu echoed in the concert hall, its sound sometimes low and sometimes high, as if telling the joys and sorrows of life. The audience was moved by this soulful music, some people had tears in their eyes, and some people nodded slightly, as if they were having a spiritual dialogue with the music.

Then, the clear sound of the pipa was like beads falling on a jade plate, interweaving with the guzheng and erhu, weaving a colorful musical picture. The pipa player's technique was skillful and agile. Her fingers quickly played on the strings, producing a series of clear and pleasant sounds, making people feel as if they were in a gorgeous musical feast. The sound of the pipa was clear and pleasant, sometimes cheerful and lively, sometimes melodious and graceful, adding agility and vitality to the whole music.

The performance of the pipa is full of passion and vitality. The performer's fingers fly on the strings. The pipa's finger rolls are like twinkling stars, crisp and smart. Each note is like a meteor across the night sky, short and dazzling; the sound of the bamboo flute is crisp and high-pitched, like a bird breaking through the clouds and flying freely in the vast sky; the harmony of the sheng is rich and harmonious, adding a deep background to the whole music, like the deep bell sound from an ancient temple, solemn and mysterious. The strong rhythm seems to be the heartbeat of the earth, shaking the hearts of every listener and making people feel an irresistible power.

And this is just the beginning. When the clear and melodious sound of the bamboo flute sounded, the whole concert hall seemed to be lit up. It imitated the agile posture of Sun Wukong, jumping and shuttling among the clouds. The bamboo flute player controlled his breath just right, and every note was full of vitality, as if Sun Wukong was flying freely in the sky. The sound of the bamboo flute was crisp and bright, like a ray of sunshine penetrating the clouds, bringing a freshness and vitality to the whole music.

The melody of the bamboo flute floated in the air, its sound was clear and pleasant, as if calling out the dreams and hopes in people's hearts. The audience was moved by this wonderful music, they seemed to see the scene of Sun Wukong making a fuss in the misty heavenly palace, and felt the spirit of moving forward courageously and fearlessly.

The drum beats gradually joined in, strong and powerful, like the Monkey King's golden hoop, shaking everyone's heart. The drummer's movements were full of power, his hands were like dancing elves, and every beat seemed to be hitting people's souls, making people's blood boil. The drum rhythm was strong and powerful, like the sound of a heartbeat, making people feel the power and passion of life.

In the music, they seemed to see the ancient palace looming in the clouds, the fairy music floating, like a dream. The majestic palace architecture, the magnificent decorations, and the light dance of the fairies in the palace were all vividly presented before their eyes under the description of the music. They felt the profound and mysterious charm of Chinese culture, as if they were in a world full of fantasy, far away from the hustle and bustle and troubles of reality.

Each note is like a shining star, connected into a brilliant galaxy, leading the audience through time and space, and appreciating the unique charm of oriental music. The musicians are skilled in playing and emotionally invested. They use the instruments in their hands to tell the wisdom and emotions of the Chinese nation, and condense thousands of years of history and culture in this moving piece of music.

At the climax of the music, all the instruments sounded together, magnificent and shocking. The tense melody made people's heartbeats accelerate, as if they were in a thrilling adventure. The musicians on the stage were fully engaged, their fingers flying on the instruments, interpreting the soul of the music with their hearts. Every note seemed to have life, jumping and flying in the air. Their faces were filled with pride and joy, they knew that they were creating miracles with music and showing the charm of Chinese culture to the world with national instruments.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the concert hall reached its climax. The lights flickered, and the music surged like a tide, making people feel as if they were in a dreamlike world. The audience was surrounded by this powerful musical force, and they felt the profoundness and infinite charm of Chinese folk music. They stood up one after another and applauded the musicians for their wonderful performances, and the applause resounded throughout the concert hall like thunder.

When the last note fell, the concert hall fell into a brief silence. This brief silence seemed to be a stagnation of time, and the audience's deep shock and emotion condensed at this moment. Then, thunderous applause and cheers broke out, like surging waves, one after another, impacting every corner of the concert hall.

The audience all stood up and paid the highest respect and warmest praise to the Chinese musicians on the stage. Their applause was not only an affirmation of this wonderful performance, but also a deep respect for Chinese folk music and a warm embrace of cultural exchange.

An old man with gray hair was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. He said in a trembling voice: "This is the most moving music I have ever heard in my life. Chinese traditional musical instruments are amazing!" He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, his face filled with indescribable joy and emotion.

A young music lover jumped up excitedly and shouted: "This is a musical revolution. Chinese folk music has allowed me to redefine the boundaries of music!" His eyes were full of exploration and desire for new musical styles, as if he saw a whole new world of music unfolding before his eyes.

There was also a well-known music critic whose face flushed as he said excitedly: "I used to think I knew everything about music, but today, Chinese traditional musical instruments made me understand that the world of music is so vast. I want to spread this great music to the whole world!" He picked up the pen in his hand and quickly wrote down his feelings in a notebook, ready to pass on this shock to more people.

"It's incredible!" a foreign music critic said excitedly, "These Chinese folk instruments can play such soul-stirring music, which makes me feel like I'm in a magical oriental world! Each instrument has a unique timbre and expressiveness, and they work together to create such wonderful music. This is one of the most wonderful concerts I've ever heard!"

"The melody of this piece is so beautiful!" another audience member exclaimed, "Chinese traditional music is so profound! It has a unique charm and emotion that makes people intoxicated. I must learn more about Chinese music and feel its charm."

The couple who had questioned before now opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with shock.

It is no wonder that they and the audience reacted so intensely. The piece played by the China National Orchestra this time is "Cloud Palace Swift Sound", the most powerful piece in the history of Chinese music.

After the Chinese Music Festival bowed and left the stage, they smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with pride and joy. They knew that tonight they had successfully played "Cloud Palace Swift Sound" with Chinese folk instruments, shining brightly at the Vienna Concert, and won respect and praise for Chinese music culture.
