Chapter 586 Piano Concert
At about 9:00 pm, the Lelia Music Hall was brightly lit and crowded. In the Mi Hall, there were audiences attending the concert. Before the performance began, people were chatting casually, and from time to time they turned their eyes to the center of the stage, as if they were looking forward to Valodos's "Look, that's the treasure-level Stanway. I heard that it was specially customized for the Lelia Music Academy, and it has been nearly twenty years of history." Xu Qinglei said excitedly when pointing to the black Stanway in the center of the stage.
"It's been twenty years, and I don't know if I can adapt to the performance needs. According to my opinion, the college should choose a newer one." The boy with glasses just now sat next to Xu Qinglei and interrupted.
"Tsk, Wang Bin, you don't know this. Stanway piano is known as the king of pianos. Not only does it rely on his kingly tone and superb skills, but his excellent quality cannot be underestimated. Every Stanway is unique: Stanway company will simulate the temperature, humidity and other environments of the area to be sold, and will tune the piano for several years according to the area where each piano is to be sold. When the piano is officially released, there is no need to even tune it! Each Stanway is a treasured work of art. Even after a hundred years, it can still maintain its characteristics perfectly, let alone this customized collector's edition. I am sure the tone of this piano must be so beautiful that the performer's fingers are intoxicated." Xu Qinglei said in a series.
"Okay, Qinglei, I know you are a Stanway fan. There is no need to introduce this. Let's prepare to watch a concert." The boy named Wang Bin said in a surrender manner. Xu Qinglei is his crush, but this girl with temperament seems to be a bit slow to react to other things except for being particularly interested in the piano. The two of them entered school the same year and have been together for almost two years. However, Wang Bin confessed several times openly and secretly, but Xu Qinglei didn't react at all.
When the two were together, it seemed that only talking about the piano could arouse her interest.
In the reporter's special seat, as many as a hundred music media have already set up long guns and short cannons. Valodos has been a hot topic in the piano music scene in recent years. There are always many media attention about his performances, and not just those traditional serious music media. Such as "Gophonograph", "Piano Art", "Philharmonic", etc., and some modern music media and record companies with strong fashionable popular elements have also received great attention.
"John, it seems that this concert is more popular than before. Look, Lian Bi and the people who have been here." Trity was debugging the machine while chatting with John.
"This shows that my idol has great influence. In a while, the world-renowned German Stanway Cup Masters Invitational Tournament. With Valodos's strength and current influence, he will definitely have the strength to compete for the gold medal." John said confidently.
"John, I don't think so. Although this Stanway Masters Cup is a new competition, his specifications are more than any previous one. All those who are qualified to accept invitations are world's top pianists, and the judges of the competition are also the highest-level competitions in the world. Not only are there many authoritative professors from major music schools, but many top music critics also attended. In this case, the value of the competition is definitely not ordinary. It is said that even Kissing accepted the invitation. Do you think that if Kissing comes to participate in the competition, your idol Valodos will win the crown grass? "Tuetty asked with a smile.
"This should be a chance." John said after thinking about it, but he was obviously not confident. He also knew that although Valodos is very famous now, there is still a big gap compared to Kissin of Russia.
That Kissin is a pervert who can play Lister's "Clock" at the age of twelve. And after so many years of stage experience, he has grown into a true master pianist. If he comes to participate in this piano competition, it will definitely be a big test for other contestants. Looking at the global international piano music scene today, among the young generation of pianists, Lang Lang, he has never seen the strength of Kissin. Kissin has become a legendary name in the piano world.
"Haha, I'll know then." Cuidi smiled and stopped talking about this topic.
At 9:30 in the morning, the lights on the stage suddenly became stronger. A female host in a dress walked onto the stage. The sharp-eyed one had long recognized it. It was Jessica, a famous host of the American Music Channel. She had held the host of famous music festivals in the United States several times. She was the well-deserved "Golden Microphone" of the American Music Channel. Her appearance made the media and audiences below sigh.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jessica. I'm very happy to be here to attend Mr. Valodos' concert with you. To be honest, I'm also a loyal fan of him. Although I'm not very familiar with classical music, watching him play always bring me." Jessica's Xinshi relaxed and lively. From time to time... I burst into laughter, and the atmosphere on the scene was soon made warm by her opening remarks.
"Okay, next, let us all use the warmest palm to invite our protagonist today, the magical pianist Mr. Valodos, to the stage!" As soon as Jessica's incitemental words finished, a tsunami of applause rang out from the stage!
The lights in the audience suddenly dimmed, and then a beam of blue chasing light hit one side of the stage. Then, Valodos, wearing a black suit, walked onto the stage with a smile and came to the host Jessica.
"Hello, Mr. Valodos" Jessica hugged Valodos enthusiastically, then smiled and said hello.
"Hello, Miss Jessica, you are so beautiful today!" Valodos praised Jessica in a relaxed tone. The magnetic voice caused some music fans to scream in a low voice.
The two of them made a relaxed noise for a while, and then Jessica reported Valodos's first performance, Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody" No. 6.
Lu Wei sat in the front row of the audience, deliberately lowering his hat and ordinary dress, and no one recognized him. This was Lu Wei's own request. According to the organizer's arrangement, Lu Wei should have waited for the show in the lounge on the side of the stage, but Lu Wei insisted on sitting in this position. He was not deliberately low-key, but just wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at Valodos's performance.
The old song of the piano piece "Hungarian Rhapsody" is inseparable from Liszt's name. Just as the waltz and Strauss, the symphony is inseparable from Beethoven's name. These songs are fine works in the treasure house of classical piano music in the world and occupy a special and important position in Liszt's piano works.
"Hungarian Rhapsody" No. 6 is the most representative of the old Rhapsody. Many famous pianists like to play this song. Kissin, Lang Lang, Li Yunmai and others have filmed this song, which shows how popular it is.
After bowing to the audience, Valodos sat in front of the piano bench, adjusted his position and prepared quietly for a while.
The eyes of the audience were now firmly focused on his slightly obese hands. When these seemingly ordinary Danzi contacted the keys, they immediately exuded a magical charm in an incredible state.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Valodos slowly raised his hands. He was thirty-one years old. He had been in contact with the piano keyboard for at least fifteen years. He was as familiar with these keys as if he was familiar with his own body. As for the No. 6 of the Hungarian Rhapsody, he had been playing for more than ten years. Xuan played this work again. He didn't need to consider skills at all, just based on his feelings.
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Valodos's body seemed to be suddenly full of vitality. The moment his fingers touched the keys, he fell down happily without any hesitation, and immediately brought up a series of majestic chords!
Ten slightly thick fingers. This Hai is like ten strong pillars. Every time he touches the key, it is so strong, giving people a sense of firmness and decisiveness. This brilliant march-style music exudes a strange spirit under his hands!
Valodos's fat and round face that looked a little cute, seemed to be covered with a solemn look. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent, serious and serious, and looked quite Beethoven's expression.
The music quickly went to the second part. A short, fast and dance-style quick-pitched slogan.
In this part, Valodos's strength began to be revealed, and many viewers showed a slightly excited expression on their faces.
I saw that fingers kept rising and falling between the black and white keys in a quick and decisive posture. The solid keystrokes and clear sounds made people feel as if they were driving the keys completely. At this moment, Valodos's facial expression was relaxed and calm. Yan Ran's very difficult colorful color was far from reaching the limit for him.
"Valodos's level is pretty good. It can be seen that his basic skills have been solid for more than ten years and his music feels very good. However, if his level is nothing more than that, it would be too disappointing." Looking at Valodos's performance, Lu Wei secretly commented.
At the end of the song, Valodos stood up and left. Amid the applause, Valodos's eyes seemed to glance at the bottom of the stage casually, and faced Lu Wei's eyes smiling and applauding. Valodos also smiled.
"Turkish March, an old bar adaptation." When Valodos said this to the microphone, the stage was like a powder barrel ignited, and there was a tide of applause and cheer like a tide of applause and cheer!
Chapter completed!
