After the concert, the praise Qi Mu and Min Chen received can no longer be described by simple numbers.
As long as the music critics present gave an objective and fair evaluation of the performance within a week, even the musicians, students, and orchestra members posted their opinions on the music on their social accounts such as Twitter. view of the meeting.
Although those views are different, some people focus on Qi Mu, some people focus on Min Chen, and some people even focus on the little princess "Edith". However, this does not in any way affect the positiveness of these reviews—
It's all a capital "OK"!
People who listened to this concert all lamented that they were fortunate enough to have not missed such a grand performance, while their relatives and friends all cast envious, jealous eyes and rubbed their faces in their hearts: why didn't they go? Listen to it live? ! ! !
Even Lao Tan, Zhu Wenjun and other people who got invitations but couldn't come to the concert because of some business directly called Qi Mu to complain: "Xiao Qi, you have to record a cd anyway. Right? You can still accept it a little without a record, how can you not even have a CD?!”
For such an "accusation", Qi Mu had to smile bitterly and comforted: "Uncle Zhu, Min Chen and I do not think it is necessary to record a record. We don't want to use this concert as a commodity to make money, you don't want to. Angry, next year... I'll send you an invitation again, okay?"
Having said this, Zhu Wenjun smiled and "disappeared", while Qi Mu hung up the phone with a smile, and turned his head to look at the man who was lowering his head and arranging the information. He spread out his hands helplessly and said, "Tan Lao and Uncle Zhu both called and questioned me just now. It looks like... Do we want to record some records as gifts for them next time?"
Hearing this, Min Chen did not object. He stretched out his hand to embrace the young man and said in a low voice, "Well, listen to you."
After the Paris ensemble, Qi Mu and Min Chen planned to stay in the city for a day, and then fly to Vienna and Berlin the next day. Under the deep and dark Paris night, the lights of a certain high-end apartment stayed on until the middle of the night, when it was turned off by its owner.
After the concert is not without things, dealing with these follow-up work is also extremely troublesome. Therefore, when the two of them confirmed all the follow-up documents, even Qi Mu, who had always been more energetic, felt a little tired. After saying "good night" to each other and exchanging a warm and soft good night kiss, the two fell asleep hugging each other.
On the third day after Qi Mu returned to Vienna, the Belgian national treasure-class classical music magazine "National Music Hall" released as a weekly magazine finally came out. As the loyal readers of countless magazines have guessed, the cover of "National Music Hall", like other classical music magazines issued before, is dominated by the silhouette of the concert of Qi Mu and Min Chen.
On that well-textured cover is a black silhouette of a piano and a white silhouette of a violin, juxtaposed in the center of the cover, no equal. And on the right side of the cover, it was printed in large letters—
"Piano and violin event, light up the night in Paris! 》
All the readers took a closer look. When they saw the author's name, they were all stunned and didn't react for a while. author-
Gratt Lismond!
God, it's Master Glatter! This is a well-deserved top music critic in Belgium! Sure enough, the music critics who were invited that night all wrote music reviews for the concert, including Master Glatter!
You must know that the last time Master Glatter wrote a music review was a year ago. Coincidentally, his music review at that time was for Wei Ai’s first European tour in 2017. At that time, he also mentioned that at that time. Qi Mu, the deputy chief of Wei Ai. But now, after a year, he has written a music review again, and the person mentioned is actually Qi Mu!
Thinking of this, all the readers opened the magazine with anticipation and began to read it carefully.
Like the magazines and newspapers published in the past four or five days, this review of "National Music Hall" is mainly praised, and some aspects such as the choice of musical instruments and the arrangement of sonatas have been discussed in depth.
For example, Master Glatter agrees very much with the behavior that "Qi Mu chose the little princess 'Edith' to play", and he also thinks that the voice of "Edith" is more suitable for "Song of the Wanderer" and "Raindrop Sonata" ", of course, especially for the final encore "Twilight in the Moonlight."
The audience who heard this sonata at the scene all described the piece with words such as "amazing", "shock" and "forever unforgettable". Unfortunately, this piece has not been released to the public. No matter how they describe this four-movement sonata, they cannot let readers feel the power of this piece to shake the soul.
In Master Glatter's music review, he also, like other music critics, deeply and carefully studied this newly born piece: "Violin Sonata in A Major", that is, "Twilight under the Moonlight".
But unlike other music critics, after a little analysis of the composition and emotional expression of this piece, Master Glatter pays more attention to the performer and composer of this piece. He said in the article that he was very curious about what kind of identity Qi Mu played in the composition of this song.
"Auston Bertram has always been a master composer with high output. Whether it is his famous "F major" or several wonderful piano concertos, they are the well-deserved crystallization of wisdom in the history of classical music. It has been circulated for a hundred years without changing color. However, this song "Twilight under the Moonlight" is obviously a bit detached from Bertram's previous works. It focuses more on the expression of emotions. In the rich and repeated difficult skills, it is rich and profound. It is not inferior at all, and it has even surpassed the gorgeous skills and has become an important factor in favor of people.”
"Such an innovative sonata makes one wonder: Does the innovative part of this piece come from the talented violinist Qi Mu?"
If it is just such a music review, then Qi Mu will not be surprised. Min Chen's composition style has indeed changed a lot in recent years. Even after the concert, even Master Farrer called him to ask him "why did Auston's compositions have changed so much".
When he learned that Qi Mu actually only completed the composition of the fourth part, Mr. Faller was stunned for a while, and then he had a flash of inspiration and found himself the most appropriate reason: "Angel, this is love. The power of Auston! Auston's previous songs have always been dominated by strong melody and dazzling technique, and this "Twilight in the Moonlight" has such a beautiful emotion! This is love, Angel!"
Qi Mu's mouth twitched: "..."
Leaving aside what happened in the past, after Qi Mu got the latest issue of "National Music Hall" from Wei Ai's agent, Mr. Tuckerman, he looked at it easily and calmly.
At first, he continued to read it happily, even carefully reading the part where Mr. Glatter assessed himself. But when he saw the last full page of evaluation, Qi Mu frowned suddenly, and did not speak.
"This Paris Night was undoubtedly the best concert I've heard this year, or even the most perfect piano and violin ensemble I've heard in the last three years. It's not just about the performance. The two musicians who performed are the top masters in the industry, and it is because the two musicians have a tacit understanding of each other's music to a meticulous level."
"Auston Bertram's piano, from its arrogance when he just won the Shaw Sai championship more than ten years ago, has gradually become gentle, delicate and gentle. However, his piano sound is still unmatched by most people. The momentum is so strong that among the orchestras he has collaborated with, only Bai Ai and Niu Ai can withstand such a reckless and free piano."
"But at night in Paris, I felt another sound that was no less than Bertram."
"Different from its gentle and gentle appearance, Qi Mu's violin is like a sharp and sharp spear. It has elegance and calmness in its bones, but it does not lose its sharpness and surprise on the outside. When the two people's violin sounds are on the same stage When it sounded, I thought, there will never be a second piano sound so close to Bertram's piano in the world, similar musical style, tacit cooperation..."
Further down the text, Qi Mu has carefully read it word by word. He looked very slowly, and the smile on his face gradually dried up.
By the time he finished reading the last sentence, Qi Mu had already completely frowned, and he quickly closed the thick "National Music Hall", then sighed and didn't speak.
In the thousands of praises after the concert, it is not that no one has put forward the same point of view as Master Glatter, but no one has ever analyzed it as well as this master music critic. A whole page of comments made a thorough analysis of Qi Mu and Min Chen's performance skills, musical styles, and cooperative feelings.
Don't say it's someone else, even after Qi Mu watched it, he thought silently in his heart: He was right.
Perhaps after reading this article, other readers just hope that he will have more cooperation with Min Chen. But after watching it, Qi Mu realized that the harmony between him and Min Chen was not just an ensemble of the two, but... they were also more suitable for cooperation with an orchestra.
Master Glatter also pointed out his point of view in one sentence at the end of the article. He said something similar a year ago, but this time, he said it more obscurely, but Qi Mu could no longer ignore—
"Maybe one day, Qi Mu will have the opportunity to cooperate with the Berlin Philharmonic. No matter whether such a miracle will happen or not, I will always believe that as long as that day comes, under the command of Auston Bertram, that The concert will be an event no one will forget!"
