Chapter 30 - Chapter 200

As one of the most famous island nations in the world, Britain is in the arms of the Atlantic Ocean. The salty and moist sea breeze blows across the azure Atlantic Ocean, bringing the heat that belongs only to summer, and it also makes this concert of Wei Ai into the lives of the British people.

Accepting the invitation of the British royal family is correct, but this does not mean that it is just playing for the royal family.

In the first half of this year's tour, Wei Ai rarely performed in London, but went to Manchester. So now, when this top orchestra came to London again, fans of the city immediately flocked, but only two days, the concert tickets were sold out.

The scorching temperature couldn't resist the enthusiasm of music fans. On the night of Wei Ai's summer concert, a passionate "Chardas", a warm and fresh "Pastoral Symphony", plus Going to Vienna's beloved "Radeski March", the concert came to a successful conclusion to the long and warm applause.

This is the first time Qi Mu has led the orchestra to perform a complete formal performance after becoming the chief of Wei Ai. There was not the slightest panic, nor any fear of nervousness. This high-level concert allowed Londoners to thoroughly see a brand-new Wei Ai, and truly understand the one described as "hope" by major newspapers and magazines. What kind of level do young people have?

Only by hearing it with my own ears can I understand what kind of bright hope it is!

The vitality and passion that belong only to young people, under the leadership of this excellent chief, has set off a wave of passion for the entire Wei Ai!

Belgian national treasure-level music critic Master Grat wrote such a comment in his long music review: "For a long time, I have always considered Wei Ai to be the most traditional symphony orchestra. Their sound is round and delicate. , Just like their favorite waltz, gentle and smooth, but not full of passion and ambition that pierced the sky like a storm.

"This is a trait formed by their accumulation over the centuries, but it is also a handcuff to their development. How to make a world-class orchestra innovate? I think, first of all, they must first break themselves, and one is still in a plastic period The chief of this is precisely the hope they are craved."

"Voice of Hope, Ignite London Summer Night!" "

"Let Radsky's applause become absolute loud in London! "

"Wei Ai re-enters London, perfect interpretation of the world's top classical sound"

"The Sound of Classical", "Music", "The Melody of Sound"... and even the oldest classical music magazine in the UK, "The Bell", all covered this concert from all angles. Professional reviews and music critics from major music critics have become a grand scene after the Wei Ai concert.

Even the most well-known newspaper in the UK, The Times, had such a headline on its front page: "Wei Ai was invited by the royal family for a musical performance, and the grand occasion was ahead."

...

But no amount of compliments is commonplace for this top band. They didn't have much time to delay in London. When the concert was over the next day, everyone in Wei Ai took a plane to the other side of the ocean.

When Qi Mu left London, the entire northern hemisphere had officially entered the hot summer. The bright blue waves reflected on the endless Atlantic Ocean. Soon, the plane landed in Chicago.

In the following month, Wei Ai had three performances in the United States across the ocean: a special performance at the Chicago Mardi Gras, a friendly performance at the New Love Anniversary Concert, and a final performance at the Washington Memorial Gala.

Compared to the European continent with a long history of classical music, the United States, which has only been founded for more than 200 years, seems to be just a newborn. However, the development of classical music on this continent is no less than that of Europe, where it originated.

On this land stands the world-famous Boston Symphony Hall, Carnegie Hall in New York, and the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, as well as the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra and other world-class top orchestras.

The enthusiasm of American classical music fans is no worse than that of European music fans. At the Chicago Music Festival, Qi Mu has already felt this strong musical atmosphere. The arrival of Wei Ai made the already grand Chicago Music Festival even more lively. Thousands of Wei Ai fans came from all over the country to participate in Wei Ai concerts.

When the members of Qi Mu and Wei Ai finished their performance in Chicago and arrived in New York, he was shocked by an oncoming heat wave as soon as he got off the plane, but three days later, the one who came immediately from The enthusiasm of the fans made him even more powerless.

Three days before the performance, the crazy and enthusiastic fans have arrived in New York. Any music fan who really loves classical music, even though he is usually calm and composed, will be ecstatic when he hears the concert of New Zealand, and he will even try his best to come to attend the concert desperately. This concert!

The New York Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1842 and has a history of nearly two hundred years. The years have brought to this orchestra not only the increasingly calm music style, but also the more delicate and gentle tone. In more than 100 years, this orchestra has performed more than 14,000 shows, creating the best of all orchestras.

If the Vienna Philharmonic is the pride of all Austrians, then the New York Philharmonic is the well-deserved king in the hearts of all Americans. And now it is possible for these two orchestras to perform on the same stage?

God, this kind of collision between the strong and the strong is simply an eternal anecdote!

Unless one day Bai Ai and Wei Ai perform on the same stage, I am afraid that there will never be any concert in the world, and it will have a strong lineup that surpasses this concert.

Once the members of Wei Ai arrived in New York, they first checked into a pre-booked hotel under the arrangement of Mr. Tuckerman. Towards the evening, Qi Mu accompanied Mr. Dorensa, Mr. Tuckerman and Mr. Motor, the second conductor of the orchestra, to the New Eyre headquarters, preparing to discuss some details of the future concert.

Rows of skyscrapers, bustling streets and squares, Qi Mu sits in the back seat of the car, giving a sweeping view of the super metropolis. After arriving at the headquarters of New Zealand, Qi Mu humblely followed Mr. Dorensa, smiling and communicating with him.

The four of them had just stepped into the gate of Niu Ai and did not take a few more steps. From a distance, Qi Mu saw a familiar figure walking out of the elevator. There was an excited smile on the bearded face. He came up and had a big hug with Mr. Dorenza, then greeted Tuckerman and Motto, and finally looked aside. Youth.

"Oh, my dear Xiaoqi, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long, long time since we left in Paris."

Qi Mu stretched out his arms to catch the other's warm embrace. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Hook, it's been more than a year."

The person here was Hook, the chief violinist of New Zealand.

Listening to Qi Mu's words, Hook frowned pretentiously and said, "Little Qi, I am only ten years older than you, but you always call me'Mr. Hook' and'Mr. Hook', I Is it really this old?" As he said, he deliberately curled his mouth, looking like "I'm sorry".

Qi Mu looked at the other person seriously and intently, and wanted to say "Actually you are very young", but when he saw the thick beard, even if he wanted to hold back his smile, Qi Mu couldn't help but chuckle. I laughed out loud.

Hook's eyes widened immediately: "Where am I so old!"

Mr. Tuckerman hurriedly rounded up his own seven: "Alright, Hook, when will you reduce your beard? You can definitely be ten years younger! Oh wait, you won't be ten years younger. Are you as old as Xiao Qi? Well, then you should be one year younger."

Hooker, who is only 33 years old this year but exceptionally mature: "..."

After a few people followed Hook up the elevator, Hook explained: "Mr. Swell is still in a meeting. We had already set the repertoire for the concert two months ago, but last week in Utah. There was a heavy rain and terrible flash floods in the state. Mr. Swell is a native of Utah and he hopes to play a piece for Utah."

This summer seems to be particularly hot, but only in June, the United States is like a big stove, the air is scorching, and the heat is unbearable.

Last week, Wei Ai had arrived in Chicago, so they also knew about the extreme rainstorm. Now that Hook said this, Qi Mu only remembered that he was hailed as "the best tempered conductor in the world." "Mr. Swell is from Utah.

Music has the magical power to convey hope and invigorate people. When you are in a depressed mood, listening to a beautiful and euphemistic waltz will regain your confidence; when you encounter ups and downs, open an uplifting march and you will be motivated again.

Sadness is contagious, but support and encouragement are more valuable to share.

Mr. Dorenza nodded and said softly: "Swell's idea is very good, and I also think that playing a piece of music for the people of Utah is very good advice."

Hook also agreed: "Yes, in fact, everyone in the band agrees with Mr. Swell's ideas. And Mr. Dorensa, you know, Mr. Swell's temper is really good, so gentle He has such a proposal, I don't think anyone in the world will bear to oppose it."

It sounds weird to say this from a big bearded mouth, but Qi Mu said with deep feeling, "Yes, if Mr. Swell made such a suggestion... it is really difficult. Let people refuse."

"But the difficulty is how to play that piece."

Upon hearing this, Qi Mu couldn't help but curiously asked: "What kind of song did you choose in the end?"

Hook
