Probably because of the fame of New Love and Min Chen, the audience who came to this concert was much larger than the official estimate, and it was already too many to count.
But this is a symphony concert at a public music festival after all, so it is not as serious and formal as the usual formal occasions. The officials have already removed all the seats on the second floor for tourists... Stand and listen.
Although most of the audience did not know Qi Mu, this did not prevent them from knowing the meaning of the name "Min Chen".
Min Chen is only 30 this year, but he has already become the chief conductor and principal pianist of the Berlin Philharmonic. In the past ten years, he has composed dozens of outstanding pieces, which are praised by the world. For such a master of music, his status in today's classical music scene is almost unparalleled.
Even the other three masters, who are also known as the world's four major conductors, are always lower than the chief conductor of Bai Ai.
Of course, music is not necessarily superior or inferior, but even these masters admit that the music level of the other party is indeed higher than their own, so music fans naturally don't need to be more modest.
And such a character has openly maintained and supported a newcomer in public! Even after knowing that Qi Mu was not a newcomer, it did not prevent the fans from having such a mentality: "Even Min Chen appreciates it so much, it seems that this newcomer must be very powerful!"
Therefore, many of the audience present took a contemplative perspective, wanting to see... Qi Mu, how good is he
Among the audience who decided to attend the scene, although most of them didn't know who Qi Mu was before the New Ai recruitment competition, there was a little girl with a ponytail that blushed with excitement and clenched herself tightly. With the repertoire in hand, I wholeheartedly look forward to the start of the performance.
Li Yueyue originally only came to Hong Kong City on business, which is a very common thing for a white-collar worker like her. But what she never expected was that just the day before she was about to leave Hong Kong City, she actually learned that Qi Mu was going to perform with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at the Ocean Music Festival in Hong Kong City! ! !
Although she is now engaged in a job that has nothing to do with music, in fact, Li Yueyue studied the violin for several years when she was in elementary school. Since she accidentally bought the book "The Sound of Music" with Qi Mu's photo on the cover, Li Yueyue has never been so glad that she is an Appearance Association like that day!
In the field of classical music, she has always been a layman, but she can appreciate those melodious or gorgeous music better than many pure "little seven-faced fans".
Since buying the "The Sound of Music", Li Yueyue has bought all the albums related to Qi Mu, imported them into her mobile phone and listened to them every day. She even asked her mother to send her violin from her hometown to City B in anticipation. After returning home from get off work at night, she would occasionally practice the violin several times.
There are some really interesting things. Maybe when you were young, you felt that your parents forced you to study hard and made you suffer, but when you are really mature, you realize how beautiful and moving it is!
After learning that Qi Mu was going to perform in Hong Kong City this weekend, even if it was just a piece of music, Li Yueyue did not hesitate to ask the boss for three or four days of vacation, and she would have to finish listening to this piece before leaving!
Listening to the conversations around him, he said, "It's probably only through relationships, that Qi Mu", "That's right, to be the assistant principal of the B City Symphony Orchestra at such a young age... There must be something wrong." Li Yueyue really sneered!
She naturally knows Qi Mu's strength, and she has no doubts!
And then, she believes that these people will also thoroughly understand what stupid things she said just now!

In the splendid concert hall, even though some audience members stood on the second floor and the whole performance was full, no one made a little noise.
When the bell, which symbolized the official start of the concert, rang from the radio, the members of the color music group took their seats first, followed by the percussion group, the brass woodwind group, and finally the string instrument group from both sides of the stage. , took his place.
When all the members were fully seated, Mr. Alan Swell, dressed in a light grey suit, walked onto the stage from the left side of the stage with a smile. Immediately, the audience burst into warm applause, sending the most respectful greetings to the famous conductor.
After Master Swell had some conversation with the band members, he raised his hand gently, and as soon as he put it down, there was a stream-like sound of music flowing out.
The repertoire of New Love's performance are some of their most well-known famous symphonies, such as Dvorak's "From the New World", Berlioz's "Symphony of Fantasy", Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony" "Symphony" and "Symphony No. 8" and so on.
As soon as these familiar rhythms appeared, the audience quickly fell into the wonderful music hall, and for a while they forgot that they originally entered the stage with the feeling of "seeing who the newcomer is". .
One after another, all the listeners were mesmerized by the music, and even Li Yueyue quickly entered the atmosphere of pure appreciation. When the "Symphony of Fantasy" ended, Li Yueyue's face was crooked with satisfaction. With his head up, his eyes were sharp, and he suddenly noticed the young man walking from the backstage onto the stage!
Everyone in the concert hall only saw a handsome and delicate young man approaching from the left side of the stage, holding a light yellow violin in his hand and wearing the same black suit as everyone in New Love, but he played. white ties. The pure white color made the young man's already beautiful face look a little more beautiful, and the people off the field were also stunned.
After a while, they suddenly realized: This is... Qi Mu!
Someone once commented on the temperament and appearance of some well-known musicians on the forum of a certain western music magazine. At first, everyone was inclined to those who were better at playing the piano. Basically, the temperament was not much different until someone nominated Principal violin of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra…
But all in all, although the classical music industry is not like the entertainment industry, there are beautiful and handsome men everywhere, but most people also have a precipitation and restrained temperament, which makes people more comfortable to watch. It can be said that although there are many good-looking people, there are not many, and now... they have seen one.
After Qi Mu shook hands with Mr. Swell and the chief executive, some audience members in the audience were still stunned, and after a while, they whispered in a low voice: "It's really good looking, I don't know... violin playing How's it going, shouldn't it be an embroidered pillow?"
Li Yueyue naturally couldn't hear the voices of these people at the moment. She only saw the young man bowing politely to the audience. After he straightened his back and stood up again, Qi Mu naturally placed the bow gently on the ground. on the strings.
Qi Mu raised his eyes to look at Mr. Swell, waiting for his order.
In the next second, the melodious and melodious black pipe music sounded for the first time, suppressing the slightly restless atmosphere of the whole scene. After a period of soft music, feeling that the approaching point was getting closer, Qi Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly...
The bow is drawn!
As a specially invited violinist, Qi Mu did not sit where the chief should sit, but stood directly on the left side of Mr. Swell's body to perform his own performance.
Sibelius' Symphony No. 1 in E minor is divided into four movements, two Andantes with slightly different rates, a short Allegro of Scherzo, and finally an Andante similar to Fantasia. This piece is very brisk, and the violin, as the main melody sung loudly, completely controls the rhythm of the whole piece.
The young man's left hand danced rapidly on the strings, and the dazzling lights above the stage shone on him, setting off his already white fingers as if they were transparent.
Li Yueyue held her breath, listening and watching, she only felt that her soul was about to fly away from her seat, and only the more and more exciting music kept rising in her mind.
The rhythm was getting faster and faster, and the music was getting more and more intense. At the end, the young man standing in front of the orchestra suddenly threw his bow. The music that had been very excited just abruptly stagnated, and stopped instantly when it exploded to the highest point. live-
Not to stop here, but to... brewing deeper!
This concert is not the first concert Li Yueyue has heard, but... it is the most unforgettable one in her life.
She sat in the middle of the first floor, her eyes widened, and she kept looking at the handsome and beautiful young man.
Sometimes, Qi Mu frowned slightly, and his expression became solemn as the notes gradually deepened. Sometimes, Qi Mu slowly raised the corners of his lips and returned a warm and bright smile to the commander who smiled at him.
When the whole piece reaches the last thirteen-minute Andante, the long-accumulated musical sound is already strong enough to ferment. The majestic and magnificent music, the intense and powerful musical symbols, all the listeners couldn't help surrendering to the music containing endless momentum. When the whole violin sound broke out at the highest point, some people even clenched their fingers excitedly, Someone couldn't help blushing.
The last sound finally fell.
The whole song is over.
Obviously the whole song is 40 minutes long, but no one thinks it is too long!
Such majestic music seemed to be lingering in their ears, and after a few minutes, someone shouted "bravo" like waking up from a dream! Since then, the applause resounding through the sky has truly toppled the roof of the concert hall.
On the stage, the young man who described Yili raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.
He stared blankly at the audience who had all stood up and applauded under the stage, the fingers holding the bow gradually tightened, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.
On December 18, 2015, this was Qi Mu's first violin chief performance after he re-entered the world music scene.
In Hong Kong City, Ocean Music Festival.
