A month ago, the Asian premiere of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. [-]" conducted by Lian Lixin was introduced by the host to create atmosphere. There was no need for the conductor to waste time. After he stood on the podium, he reviewed the orchestra majestically for more than half an hour.Of course, musicians will fully understand and respect the habits and hobbies of conductors. He Peiyuan commented that Lian Lixin's brewing is quite imposing and effective, but it is a little risky, otherwise it will be called a bluff and drag the composer down.

Jeromil's opening remarks today seem long-winded, and those words that are too commonplace may damage his temperament as a world master, and there is a serious suspicion of self-deprecation. Neway's chief conductor should be able to impress the audience with just a smile. vain.However, after talking to the audience, Jeromir showed his personality and self-confidence again. He turned around and faced the orchestra directly without getting involved with the chief, and raised the baton.

The folk music performers in Puhai had previously informed the composer in the form of admiration and congratulations, which meant that Jeromir had a high opinion of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony" during the rehearsal process. They also praised the active practice, but well, I feel that most of what Niu Ai said up and down is clichés. Although the orchestra has shown enough attention to the work, it does not have the kind of strong expression of being treasured. This situation is similar to that of folk music. The bold and optimistic expectations of the performers themselves before going abroad are somewhat different.

Not only folk music performers don’t know enough about conductors, most of the musicians in New Air who have lifetime contracts didn’t seem to expect such an opening remark from the conductor. Fortunately, everyone is professional, and they seemed a little impatient to turn around to the conductor. When raising the stick, the musicians reacted in a busy and unhurried manner, and the cello group, which bears the brunt, also appeared to be orderly and precise in the movements of lowering the bow and strumming the strings.

According to industry standards, the acoustics of Avery Fisher Hall are not ranked among the top in the world. It is said that all parameters are slightly worse than those of Carnegie Hall in the same city, but for most listeners and even practitioners, those parameters are It is also nitpicking. The actual performance of the Fisher Hall is also very good. The reverberation time of two seconds is simply ingenious. The conductor's volume is not high but the lingering sound of the powerful words has just dissipated, and the calm cello notes are audible. The familiar slow speed is diffused and full, accompanied by the deep plucked strings of the double bass, and the smooth melody seems to show some solemnity after full reverberation.

However, no one in the concert hall had even the slightest expression of fear, let alone fear and inability to adapt. The audience did not even mention a few symbolic surprises. It seems that today all races, nationalities, and cultures The [-] or so people who have blended their careers and professions have tacitly united to make the conductor pay the face price for his overconfident and generous statement a few seconds ago.There was really no response at all. It seemed that the people sitting in the audience were not the audience but a group of people watching with cold eyes.

Presumably Yeromir has seen how stable he has been in his decades of artistic career, or he didn't care what was going on in the auditorium after facing the orchestra, anyway, it seemed that the audience didn't give him face at all and didn't treat him Without the slightest influence, the trajectory of the baton is calm and steady, allowing the woodwind group to show its sound at the end of the cello phrase in an inconspicuous posture.

The beginning of the straightforward narrative, if you don’t refer to the following text and take it out separately, this prelude is not only meaningless, but also meaningless, it is like a practice homework for the first and second grades of undergraduates, and it should not appear in the premiere concert of New Air.However, just like the film and television industry would ridicule that there are no bad scripts, only bad directors, the pop music circle will also say that there are no bad songs, only singers who can't sing. Mill made the New York Philharmonic Orchestra show some of the styles under his leadership. The strings are obviously full and active, while the winds are slightly restrained and stable.

Yeromir's handling of the small interval after the opening and before the harp's appearance is also very different from Lian Lixin's style. Lian Lixin fades in and out, and it feels like he wants to pursue the light and lofty feeling of folk music, while Yeromir's handling is straightforward. Some, just this one can save Niuai a second of time.

The harp player of Newell is a middle-aged woman born in Spain. She won the position in Newcastle before she was 30 years old. What is even more rare is that she is also famous in the folk music circle in the United States. It is said that the harp solo music The tickets for the meeting are more popular than Xin Ting's small venue.The performers of the Puhai Chinese Orchestra have not inquired about the religious beliefs of the Spanish musician, but almost everyone has always believed that the religious overtones shown by the Western musicians when they played this strange note in the first movement are indeed true. It is much richer than the attempts of the pianists of the Puhai Philharmonic.Indeed, compared with the slightly gentle performance of the harp in the Puhai premiere, the performance of the New York Philharmonic is obviously less polite.

Is it thanks to the musicians and conductors who adapted to local conditions? The audience in New York responded to the harp more generally than the audience in Puhai. There were some small body movements and posture adjustments in the auditorium, as if they were a little interested, or Seeing a glimmer of hope, this harp note still has a bit of personality, not as inconspicuous as the opening chapter.

With the addition of the clarinet, the originally chaotic or high-pitched notes of the harp suddenly seem to have a special order and purpose, which will make the audience vaguely aware of something, and may even generate expectations and thinking.And when the first violin group starts working with the conductor's rhythmic gymnastics-like upper body movements, the simple melody that quickly becomes strong and clear will make the audience suddenly realize that this is the case.In fact, there is no meaningful and specific starting point for all of this. They are all fabricated by the composer out of thin air, just like some amazing suspenseful detective novels.

Religion, although there are [-] audiences in the concert hall, ranging from yellow, white, brown, black, men, women, and children, when the violin melody is supported by the harp and woodwind and moves towards the strange simplicity and solemnity, the audience's reaction has become more and more obvious. , Some people's solemn appearance is almost ridiculous, but no one laughs, most of them remain calm, and a few people have a slightly joyful understanding of the melody of the music.

Just when the colorful violin was getting better and better and might turn the concert hall into a church, the conductor on the stage suddenly ordered someone to make a high-profile appearance, and the four dulcimer players who had already held the bamboo and were waiting for the battle dropped their hands and struck the strings Their movements are almost uniform, their gestures are so solemn and powerful, but the notes played are light and soft.

After Pu Hai’s performance, some experts once commented that the appearance of Yangqin made people feel like seeing a huge ink landscape painting in the Sistine Chapel.It may be because Lian Lixin pursued the yangqin to a certain extent, and hoped that the folk music would make a stunning debut. Therefore, Puhai Philharmonic had a clear sense of collision when performing the first fusion of Chinese and Western in this piece, but it was only in the melody and rhythm. Under the deployment of various factors, this kind of collision is not abrupt, and domestic audiences will not feel any fuss.

Yeromil is obviously not very optimistic about the acceptance of New York audiences. He made some dispensable treatments for the appearance of the dulcimer. First of all, the first two bars of the dulcimer are very gentle, while the violin group has maintained some absolute protagonists. The imposing manner seems to avoid scaring the audience, giving everyone more time to adapt and not seem too sudden.

But the audience had eyes to see that the folk music performers on the stage had already started.There were not many children in the auditorium, and everyone was frightened, so they saw pieces of eagerness with their ears pricked up, but this kind of eagerness has nothing to do with art at all, and every expression is fresh, even Chinese and overseas Chinese It's almost the same, those faces, it's no wonder that Chinese people like to join in the fun.

Jeromir couldn't hide the dulcimers all the time. After two bars, the concert hall became completely clear. The melodies of the four dulcimers and the ten first violins were clearly distinct, but they were not equal to each other. It seems quite harmonious.Next, the violin will gradually fade out, and the dulcimer will take the lead.

At this point in the performance of the music, the difference between the New York Philharmonic and the Puhai Philharmonic is already obvious. Just like in this section, Lian Lixin tried to get straight to the point because he was afraid that the folk music in his hands would not be bright enough, while Jeromir stood by it as a matter of course. Be conservative in your own position and try to take it step by step.Lian Lixin's solution is to carve out a large part of the stage and give it directly to the folk music to gain a foothold. The method of Yeromil is to make Western music look so fraternal and give up a part of the stage to Eastern musical instruments, and even introduce each other generously. .

After all, the score has the final say. As the melodies of the four dulcimers become more and more colorful, and the violins gradually die down, it seems that only the crisp and bright pearls falling on the jade plate are left in Avery Fisher Hall.This piece of unison melody plagiarized from "Blooming" is like big beads falling into a jade plate and turning into small beads, and clusters of small beads magically transform into blossoming flowers slowly blooming among each other like ripples. Pearl flower, this flower should be white, shaped like jasmine or magnolia.

Everyone should have heard it clearly at this moment. It is obvious that most of the audience do not know Yangqin or at least lack a basic understanding, because so many people made slightly surprised expressions, everyone Some people seem to be novel, a few seem to have begun to like it, and some are still getting used to it, but fortunately, there is no obvious discomfort.

Overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese no longer seem to join in the fun, and of course there are no novelties or surprises.I feel that the Chinese people are not very united, and the various expressions are very inconsistent. Some look suspicious, some seem to have been moved, some look sad, and some don't know what to grin.Seeing the husband and wife, the woman looked around quietly and seemed to want to turn around, but the man looked at the stage with a serious face, and the 40-year-old young man over there wished to lie in the chair, and the 70-year-old man sat like a chair instead. bell.In short, the mental outlook of the compatriots is really not neat, and it doesn't look like there has been prior communication and organization at all.The alumni of Shangpu are quite loyal, and most of the dozen or so people are enjoying the music quietly or even steadily.

In fact, the dulcimer in the first movement is also relatively lacking in sincerity, and the folk music of the crew is the same. With the addition of brass and percussion, the dulcimer melody with bright colors and simple lines recedes in a self-conscious attitude.

After the foreign and unfamiliar timbres disappeared in the concert hall, the local orchestra quickly took out the appearance of the two-pipe system. As each part started to move, it seemed to clarify the style of the music that had been obscured before.I have to admit that the audience in New York has two brushes, and the music has just begun to transform into secular music. Some people in the auditorium have already acted as expected, and the more experienced music critics even nodded in satisfaction and made some very interesting things. A face-saving expression.

The audience of Newell will of course be familiar with the music of the Renaissance period, so when the music shows the characteristics of that period more and more intensively, more and more people in the audience will be pleasantly surprised, one by one with strange bones There is even intimacy and comfort in the white face or the thick black face, which is probably what they are looking forward to.Even some Chinese audiences seem to feel more at ease than when they listened to the yangqin unison before.This is the dawn, if the music can continue to develop according to the current momentum, if the composer can try to maintain this state instead of just doing some gimmicks in the first movement to deceive people, then the second half will be safe, at least qualified to keep up with the first half The field is even.

However, the concert hall has just entered the state of the Renaissance not long ago. At a time that is completely unexpected and cannot find any theoretical support, but also can't find any faults, with Jeromil's arms movement similar to Chang'e flying to the moon , the four pipa players on the stage raised their arms and lowered their arms, their expressions and music happened at the same time.

Different from the general audience's impression of choking, Pipa's performance here is a bit shy, really half-hidden.But the audience all saw it, so they pricked up their ears one after another. Even Mr. You, who was next to Yang Jingxing to support the premiere of Pu Hai, seemed to try his best to catch the notes.

It doesn’t take much effort from the audience. The pipa group only used two bars to over-render, and the color of the music changed drastically, almost 180 degrees reversed. The audience who were still nostalgic for the Renaissance just now were really caught off guard. look.It is true that the instrument is unfamiliar, and as the pipa stands out from the western orchestra with its melodious melody, the timbre and rhythm have a kind of toughness that does not show mercy to other parts. The New York audience is not as calm as Puhai music fans. understand.

Fortunately, the pipa didn't stay strong for long, and it stopped abruptly before it annoyed the unfamiliar audience, and disappeared without a trace from the Western orchestra of Ai Ai when it was overwhelming.However, this kind of disappearance seems to make people feel more uncertain, and it is very likely that they will pop up again suddenly.Jeromir's words seemed to be coming to fruition, and a few listeners seemed not to be frightened, at least they showed surprised expressions.

However, the composer did not intend to play tricks on the audience, and the direction of the subsequent music was a bit flattering, and the baroque color soon became rich.The composer’s 3-[-]-minute baroque imitation is more pleasing to more ordinary music fans. This is a taste that everyone is familiar with and likes. Who would not like baroque among New Air audiences?However, music critics or colleagues may have some opinions. Their professional minds will reflexively judge and analyze which composers are imitated and paid tribute to in the music. Personal styles are connected and harmonious, and professionally proficient professors need to analyze the pros and cons and significance of the similarity in appearance but dissimilarity in spirit.Therefore, for professionals, the work here has already been suspected of showing off, even malicious embarrassment, or provocation!

However, it only took two to three minutes, and most of the professionals did not experience any obvious discomfort. Some of them seemed to be slightly tense, but they all stabilized in the end.Especially when the music progressed to the brass and percussion chorus, it seemed that it was going to enter the climax, and the people in the industry seemed to temporarily let go of the stereotypes among their peers. Much more stately than the Renaissance.

It feels like the wind and percussion music is about to reach its peak, it’s coming soon, the audience is ready, and some people have adjusted their postures to welcome it, the composer is being mean again, and the conductor’s left hand on the stage is powerfully ordering The musicians slammed on the brakes at the same time, and the right hand felt like it was rising from the ground. The erhu group, which had already set up its bow, suddenly appeared on the stage, playing a melody that was beyond the understanding of pop music and serious music, and instantly moved the audience. The previous lingering sound was swept away, and the concert hall entered another world.

Two or three seconds later, amidst the unique high-pitched beauty of the erhu troupe, there was almost a commotion in the concert hall, and a sound that was not serious but definitely impolite sounded from the front and rear of the auditorium, not only in tone but even There are also words, these voices are like complaining, protesting, and sighing, and there are many fussy and inappropriate gestures such as raising your hands and stretching your neck to cover your mouth.Even the people in the ticket box were not so calm and noble anymore, and the politician's wife looked almost shocked.

Don't talk about being a mess, there should never be an unstable situation in New Ai's performance. Although the current situation is not very serious, for New Ai, who is playing at home in Lincoln Center for the Arts, the audience is now Such abnormal reactions should at least be entered in the annual log.If this continues, Yeromir may lose his fortune at the end of the day, and maybe half an hour later he will become a big joke in the industry because of the information society he himself advocates.

Fortunately, there are many years of professional players on the stage. Jeromir is still immersed in his enthusiasm. He has completely withstood the pressure. At this moment, his body and gestures are still facing the erhu group, and his movements seem to be even stronger. Unrestrained and unrestrained.The musicians who have rehearsed the piece for more than four hours have also performed steadily. The most commendable is the folk music performers. They are so calm, and the erhu group continues to devote themselves fully. In addition to love, it almost exudes perseverance and bravery.Several other groups of folk music players also gave encouragement to the erhu group with warm attention. These performers even dared to look directly at the turbulent auditorium, so calm and calm, it seemed that there was still a little pride that the artist could not erase.

Fortunately, at this moment, the black hair and yellow skin scattered far and near in the concert hall did not show abnormal reactions. The vast majority of Chinese are focusing on projecting their likes, sorrows, heaviness, and intoxication on the stage. There are even touches, touches, and excitements.Most of the Chinese didn’t seem to care or didn’t notice the fuss of the Caucasians, but there were also a few sensitive compatriots who cast some ambiguous glances at the restless audience, which seemed understandable as friendly, but It's also a bit like contempt, a bit complicated.

Fortunately, although the appearance of the erhu seemed too high-profile, the subsequent performance was worthy of this high-profile, powerful and high-profile, although Puhai's sour and smelly expert's evaluation of "every note is amazing" is too high-profile. Big, but He Hongchui also admitted that there is indeed a slight tendency.I don’t know if the audience in New York also has Pu Hai’s aesthetic standards, or if the Yankees are really tolerant. Anyway, there was only a small commotion in the concert hall and then the basic stability was restored. Most people continued to maintain their proper security. point.

The erhu is also getting better. With the brass pipes, the melody is more and more pleasing to the ears, meeting the expectations of the audience time and time again. At least some people told the composer that it exceeded expectations.It's a pity that this good momentum did not last until the final harvest. When the audience once again raised their expectations and felt that another phrase was about to end, when everyone was concentrating on waiting for the answer to be revealed by the few notes at the end of the phrase, it was even okay. The musicians were also paying close attention. The conductor on the stage suddenly seemed to twitch, and the four erhu players seemed to go crazy. The extremely distorted and torn notes disappeared without a trace, it was a disaster from heaven.

The four erhu players used all their strength to tear up the last few notes. They gritted their teeth and hated each other. They almost left their chairs. It can be said that they are very worthy of the composer and have successfully completed the task, so they stop bowing After that, he raised his face fearlessly to face the front, the conductor and the audience.

The auditorium continued to be stable and there was no commotion, but it seemed that many people seemed to be out of anger, they were simply shocked, or they just felt that it was not worthwhile to know this kind of crazy composer.There are also some people who are not so open-minded, looking at each other and exchanging opinions, whether it is to share the same hatred.Even the expressions on the faces of many Chinese people cooled down, and some of them simply looked at the composer questioningly as if they wanted to seek justice, but found that the composer was blank.

The stage was still going on, and the conductor took advantage of the desperate momentum of the erhu to lead the orchestra to advance and entered the period of classicism.The period of classicism was indeed the cultural wealth of human beings, and today it can be regarded as a little bit of proof. The audience, who were so repeatedly provoked and teased, were soothed by the imitation of Haydn in a few bars, and their expressions quickly relaxed again. Yes, and then I listened with my ears pricked up without a long memory.

The composer paid tribute to Beethoven at the end, and it seemed that most of the audience had figured out the way. Under the guidance of the music, the audience showed some energy.However, after the strong emotional narration and brilliant passionate infection, the song began to calm down slowly, as if it was going to return to plainness, and just when the music was about to reach a gentle state, Sanxian appeared on the stage with gentle steps.

This time it didn't come out of the blue, Sanxian appeared very gently, and gave the audience two or three bars of time to get used to it. After approaching gently, he gently said "I'm here". With tenderness.

But the grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and the audience can't bear it anymore. This is the last straw that broke the camel's back. For such a gentle Sanxian, the audience responded with a stronger noise than the erhu before, buzzing for several seconds The clock almost drowned out the music.If there was a live recording today, the small commotion earlier would be justified, but the recent one would probably make the recording lose its commercial value.It is far-fetched to say that it is exclaimed, it feels more like a lot of people are deliberately making trouble.Moreover, these New Yorkers are quite united, and their voices are beginning to be a bit tidy and unified.

Fortunately, it was only a small disturbance, and the audience in New York accepted it as soon as it was good.In fact, this is already deterrent enough. If it is a newcomer, it must be frightened enough. It is not uncommon for the industry to be hit by a little bit of bad luck and the performance is completely ruined.The listeners in New York were not bad, they gave a piece of candy after hitting a stick, and then pretended to listen to the performance of the Sanxian with great interest.However, there are also quite a few people with increasingly vigilant expressions, as if they no longer believe in the composer's character.

Fortunately, after Sanxian, the four groups of folk music were all completed, and then the music entered the romantic period.The effect of the beautiful cello melody is very remarkable, so that the auditorium quickly healed the scars and forgot the pain. In the last two or three minutes of the first movement of "Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony", the concert hall resumed quiet and elegant classical music meeting atmosphere.

With the trembling of the baton by the cello group, the moving melody gradually faded away, and the first movement of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. [-]" North American premiere was completed.The audience obviously relaxed with the music. At this time, no one had any negative expressions, and no one made any big moves. Everyone continued to sit quietly and look at the stage, as if they wanted to be magnanimous and disregard the past. listened.A few Chinese compatriots looked at the composer with encouraging expressions, and even clapped their hands.

However, the conductor on the stage suddenly went wrong again. He made a movement that was not in line with professional traditions or his own habits. He twisted his neck and turned his head to look at the auditorium.There are rumors in the industry that Jeromir has a bad temper, he does his own way and is even a little arrogant, which seems to be true. The expression on the old man's head looking back at the auditorium is far less amiable than when he was speaking before. He doesn't smile at all. It's a bit of inspection and warning, full of the prestige of a conductor.But prestige, it’s the best point so far, so Yeromil took a look, turned his head to face the orchestra, and raised his hand to flip through the score in front of him.

There was no sound in the concert hall, but the paper of the score was not small, and the sound of turning pages was crisp and clear.Yu Jiajia's father likes the overtones in the recording, the real live feeling.
