The whole city was applauding Lucien’s performance. In this world, people were not used to this kind of strong sensory stimulus. They were shocked.
"I almost can’t breathe," said Lilith. "Mr. Evans’ conducting gives the symphony a new life."
"No one knows a music piece better than its composer!" Sala was still applauding, his eyes were shining with excitement.
Compared with those traditional conductors’ conservative style, people who did not have too much knowledge about music absolutely preferred Lucien’s way of presenting the music.
...
"He’s crazy." Verdi was first impressed, but soon he felt that it was too much for him, "Lucien simply has no idea about what is elegance!"
Verdi was not alone there. Many other conservative musicians who adhered to past practices nodded as Verdi was commenting.
It could be foreseen that a bunch of critic reviews of Lucien’s conducting would be found on tomorrow’s Music Criticism and Symphony News.
