In December, it gets dark early in Berlin. But after four o'clock, the round and dim sunset slowly sank to the west. In the dense and lush forests and oceans of Berlin, the colorful clouds gradually disappeared, and finally only a little bit of peripheral light was left, illuminating the sky lazily.
On the last day of 2019, no different from previous years, Bo Ai still held the annual Berlin Philharmonic New Year Concert to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Still in the Berlin Philharmonic, and still the world's top symphony orchestra.
From the doors on both sides of the concert hall, the audience laughing and talking walked into the arena, looking for their seats and waiting for the start of the performance. Among them, there are world-class musicians, music critics with extremely high standards, journalists who are ready to go, and more classical lovers from all over the world.
In this post-modernist concert hall, the lights are bright and resplendent, and the Bauhaus-style architectural style of this building is in line with the metallic tone of Birch. The Berlin Philharmonic Hall uses the most first-class sound design to ensure that every audience can hear the most flawless music in any position.
When Bai Ai performed in this concert hall, the feeling of shock and resonance was the most unforgettable.
Qi Mu had never heard the live Bai Ai New Year's concert in her last life. You know, if it was before he entered the diplomatic relations, he did not have so much spare money and non-part-time work time to come to Berlin to listen to the New Year's concert; and if it was after he entered the diplomatic relations, it would be more frequent every year. There is no chance for the performances around the world.
The New Year's concert last year was the first time Qi Mu had heard it, and today is the second time.
Bai Ai's concert hall is a wrap-around stage, and there are places where the audience can sit when viewed from the stage. Qi Mu, on the other hand, sat generously on the left side of the third row in front of the podium. From this angle, the most beautiful and moving piano sound can be enjoyed, which resonates with the symphony orchestra.
Qi Mu was very down-to-earth and didn't worry about being recognized at all. Because he knows that on such an occasion, no matter how enthusiastic fans are, they will only say hello, and they won't do too many exciting things after asking for a signature at most.
Just as Qi Mu thought, before the concert opened, he chatted with some fans and musicians for a while, but it didn't take long for the New Year's concert to begin. The members of the percussion group were still the first to enter, the timpani player and the snare drummer entered in turn, and then the brass group, the woodwind group and the string instrument group.
When the members of Bai Ai came up from both sides of the stage with a smile, the audience burst into thunderous applause. And when Kedori appeared on the stage, the applause from the field became even more enthusiastic. Even Qi Mu chuckled and looked up at Kedori, applauding him.
It just so happened that Kodori raised his head and saw Qi Mu, so he smiled and nodded with Qi Mu, and the two looked at each other for two seconds, ignoring someone who deliberately arranged his clothes in the background and walked with his head held high. man on stage.
Min Chen: "..."
When Qi Mu finally remembered Min Chen's existence, he looked at the man's awkward expression in surprise—yes, we've been together for more than two years, even if this man is still expressionless, Qi Mu is still Can keenly detect the voice of this guy.
Qi Mu: "...?"
So, what happened again? !
nothing!
…
After a brief eye contact, Qi Mu looked away in disbelief. At this moment, Min Chen, together with Ke Duoli, led the entire Bai Ai to bow to the audience in thanks. In another minute, when the baton in Min Chen's hand suddenly fell, the audience was filled with the loud and majestic music in an instant.
The first piece of Bai Ai's New Year's Concert this year is the overture of Wagner's opera "Tanweather Overture". At the beginning of the whole piece, the wind band played in unison, the sound was majestic and majestic, as if it were a high mountain, and it was quite broad and vast.
The first movement of this overture is a solemn andante, beginning with a loud opening of the wind instruments, followed by a low insertion of the viola. A long and beautiful melody mixed with sharp and intermittent momentum gradually outlines the shape of a Venusburg, and finally unfolds a long picture for the whole opera.
When the piece was halfway through, the violin's colorful solo became the most eye-catching performance in the audience.
Sitting in front of the first violin group of Bai Ai, is a young man with light brown hair. The ensemble plays together in bright and vibrant colors.
Kodori is arguably one of the most legendary violinists in the world today. Three years ago, this "most" was always unique. Since Qi Mu was born, he finally had a "one".
But no matter how much younger Qi Mu is than Ke Doli and how much faster he is to become the principal of Wei Ai, everyone can't ignore that this young and beautiful violinist is really outstanding. One of the few at the top.
After graduating from the Munich Conservatory at the age of 21, Kodori joined the Berlin Philharmonic directly as deputy principal. Since then, within three years, he has taken over the position of the retired old chief violinist as the chief violinist of this "first group in the world".
Kodori studied under Professor Carr. As a representative of the academic school, Professor Carr's teaching method is very classical. Therefore, under his leadership, Kodori's piano sound is beautiful and dignified, and the atmosphere is beautiful. It can control Bo Ai's magnificent momentum and cooperate very well with Min Chen.
Even Germany's most critical music critic, Mr. Katzmann, has commented on Kedoori's violin: "If God has established a ruler for the violin, then in this day and age, this ruler is undoubtedly Kedoori's violin. · Slaughter. His sound is a gift from nature to mankind, you can find elegance in his style, beauty in his melody, and even in every different note he plays Among them, find the most orthodox color that belongs to the violin. Yes, orthodox, this is the most pertinent compliment and the most neutral and feminine evaluation of Kodori Slaughter.”
After the ensemble of Qi Mu and Ketoli, the French music critic Mr. Leonte also compared the sound of the two of them in this way: "If Qi Mu's violin is wanton and high-spirited, then Ketoli's The violin is a little more gentle and quiet. The sound of the former is a sharp and unsheathed blade, fierce and arrogant; then the sound of the latter is a shield that is round and balanced, peaceful and quiet. I really look forward to these two people working together with Bai The scene when Ai and Wei Ai cooperated, it must be the most beautiful scenery in the world!"
…
Such evaluations are endless. Even the sharp-spoken Master Glatter said bluntly that, compared with Kedoori, he thinks Qi Mu's piano sound is more suitable for the same sharp and full Bai Ai. Perhaps the cooperation with Wei Ai cannot fully reflect Qi Mu's style.
Qi Mu didn't really care about these evaluations of putting herself and Bo Aila together.
When Min Chen and Qi Mu were flipping through magazines together, they happened to see Master Glatter casually mentioning similar views in an interview. So, Qi Mu asked Min Chen in a joking tone, the outside world said so, you won't be shaken by Kedori's position, right
How did Min Chen answer at that time
He lowered his eyes and looked at his lover, and asked in a calm tone, "For my own sake, let you replace Kedori?"
Even this assumption made Qi Mu quite uncomfortable, but after all, in order to get the other party's reaction, he said: "Although I never meant it, I also think that Ketoli is very suitable for Bai Ai and has the ability to successfully guide Bai Ai. . But... you can say what you think about it."
Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly. He directly closed the magazine and placed it on the glass coffee table. He never looked at it again, and then calmly replied: "Bai Ai will always adhere to the principle of 'no death, no change'. As long as Without deviating from the most fundamental foundation of the orchestra, we will never take the initiative to change people. This is the principle that Bai Ai has adhered to for hundreds of years, and this principle will never change until I leave the orchestra.”
Hearing this, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but reach out and stroke Min Chen's smooth and graceful face. Rubbing the other side's angular bones, Qi Mudan smiled and hooked his lips, "When I first became the deputy principal of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Kedori also became the deputy principal of Bai Ai. Since then, Every time I listen to Bai Ai's concert, in addition to paying attention to you, I also pay attention to him."
Min Chen stretched out his hand to cover the young man's fingers, and listened to him continue: "Kedori's piano sound has a natural elegance and extravagance. Master Katzman is right, Kodori's style is orthodox and perfect, 'God's ruler' is the best way to describe it. You're lucky to have such a chief."
Hearing the young man's heartfelt evaluation, Min Chen nodded lightly and said, "I am also very lucky to have such a caring and caring lover."
