Time has entered July, and the "Butterfly Butterfly" themed concert in Moscow, which has been prepared for more than a month, has officially begun.

This concert has been promoted by the Russian media for some time.

Because Sumarokov will be a guest and perform the concerto "Butterfly Lovers" with Lu Xiang'er at the concert.

This concert will be held at the National Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.

If Lu Xiang'er's fame was just relied on, it would actually be difficult to book a performance at the Moscow National Center for the Performing Arts.

However, with Sumarokov coming forward, things would be simple.

July 5th.

The concert was officially held, and the symphony orchestra it collaborated with was the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

7pm.

The National Theater in Moscow was packed with seats.

Because this is Sumarokov's first official concert stage after six years.

In the past six years, Sumarokov has been in a state of semi-retirement. Although he occasionally plays a small part in some private evenings, these are not formal performances.

Tonight's concert is a formal stage.

The highlight of the concert is the "Butterfly Lovers" themed concert by Lu Xianger, Sumarokov and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

The reason why Lu Xiang'er's name is listed first is because this concert was actually organized by Lu Xiang'er and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, and Sumarokov was the guest guest.

Moreover, the concert lasted two hours, and Sumarokov would only appear in the final "Butterfly Lovers" concerto.

Lu Xiang'er was responsible for the music played earlier.

Just after seven o'clock, the auditorium was almost full.

Among the Russian audience in the audience, there were many elderly people with gray temples.

After all, many viewers came for Sumarokov.

Sumarokov is already over 60 years old, so naturally many of the audiences who appreciate him are elderly.

The matter of Sumarokov writing a letter asking for the music CD of "Butterfly Lovers" has long been a legend in the music circle.

The audience who can sit here are basically people who like symphony, and they have all heard this story.

Therefore, some viewers also wanted to see what the young performer who asked Sumarokov wrote to ask for a CD was like.

Winning the gold medal in the Tchaikovsky Competition more than a month ago has already made Lu Xiang'er famous in Russia.

However, what the audience sees are the news reported in the media, newspapers, and the Internet, and not many people have actually seen Lu Xiang'er perform live.

The concert starts at half past seven.

Therefore, there are still nearly twenty minutes left.

Many of the audience in the audience are old acquaintances.

After all, the number of audiences who often attend concerts is actually not that large.

Many older viewers have communicated with each other in private.

"It's a bit regretful to say that I went to England to see my granddaughter during the last Tchaikovsky Competition, so I didn't have time to watch it."

"Then I'm better. I watched it live. There was a live broadcast of the game. Didn't your son play the live broadcast for you to watch?"

"A symphony can only be heard live in a concert hall. What comes out of the speakers is not called a symphony."

"That's true. It's a pity that young people nowadays don't like this anymore."

"That's not entirely true. There are quite a few young people sitting here."

"If you think about it, the last time I heard Mr. Sumarokov play was six years ago."

"Then I'm better. At a friend's birthday party, I listened to Mr. Sumarokov playing a birthday song, hahaha..."

"It's hard to imagine what it would be like for Mr. Sumarokov to play the birthday song."

"Mr. Sumarokov is a very kind and interesting person in private."

In the midst of discussion.

The experience gradually came to 7:25.

The Moscow Symphony Orchestra began to enter, and the chatting audience gradually began to quiet down, waiting for the concert to start.

After the musicians of the symphony orchestra are ready.

Lu Xiang'er appeared on the stage wearing a pure white swan dress. She stood on the side of the podium and nodded to the orchestra conductor.

The orchestra conductor picked up his baton and pointed it towards the string section, and the music started.

The first movement of Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D major" begins to play.

This concerto has three movements in total, with a total length of 35 to 40 minutes.

Therefore, although Lu Xiang'er has played this concerto on the field, he has not actually played the entire piece of music at once.

During the competition, due to time constraints, only excerpts were played.

As a famous Russian composer, Tchaikovsky will definitely perform this concerto completely to satisfy the expectations of the Russian audience when he holds a concert in Moscow this time.

The first movement begins with a simple and serene string music, followed by a fast-paced motive. The power of the music continues to increase, paving the way for the presentation of the theme of this movement.

Then, the first movement officially entered the theme of the music, and the music was pastoral, quiet and natural.

Gradually the main instrument violin is introduced.

Lu Xiang'er had been listening to the music with her eyes closed. When she waited for the main instrument part, she slowly placed the bow on the strings and started playing.

The melodious and fresh sound of the piano echoed in the Moscow National Center for the Performing Arts.

Let the entire space be immersed in the ocean of music.

Although Lu Xiang'er won the gold medal in the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, her popularity in Russia has just begun.

Therefore, perhaps some Russian audiences have heard of such an oriental violinist, but in fact, the vast majority of the audience have never heard Lu Xiang'er perform live.

More than 90% of the audience at the scene came because of Sumarokov and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

Therefore, if Lu Xiang'er, as the concertmaster tonight, does not perform well enough to meet the audience's requirements, the audience will not give her face.

However, as the sound of the violin came out.

Many viewers at the scene closed their eyes involuntarily, listened carefully, and nodded silently.

Many viewers had the same thought in their minds: As expected of a gold medal winner, his level is still high.

The subsequent violin solo captured the audience's ears.

Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D major" was composed while he was recuperating after having problems with his marriage.

Therefore, the emotions of this concerto, just like Tchaikovsky's emotions, have ups and downs, and finally calm down.

After the performance, it was finally time for tonight's theme concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

This piece of music is still relatively unfamiliar to Russian audiences.

The Russian audience present had heard the name of this concerto many times, but they only heard it from the story of Sumarokov writing a letter asking for a CD.

Now, Sumarokov and Lu Xianger will officially collaborate on this concerto.

According to the original arrangement of the Violin Concerto, the main instrument is only one violin.

However, Sumarokov was invited to perform this time, so tonight's "Butterfly Lovers" has two violins as the main instruments.

Sumarokov has been practicing for a month for tonight's performance.

The two of them stood next to the conductor's podium, with a music stand in front of them, and music scores on the stand.

Lu Xiang'er didn't need sheet music. She had played this piece so many times that the notes had been integrated into her bones.

Sumarokov hadn't played on a formal occasion for a long time, so he was a little nervous and specially arranged a music stand.

The performance begins.

The string section started first, and melodious music echoed in the Moscow National Theater.

Two violinists, one old and one young, work together to present this poignant love story to the audience.

The love story told by Lu Xiang'er using the sound of the piano is sweet and warm, full of vitality and joy.

The story told by Sumarokov's piano sound is equally sweet and warm, but there is an extra layer of memory and peace in the piano sound.

The sound of his piano is like an old photo album placed by the fireplace, waiting to be opened.

Memories replace expectations, as if telling a story from a long time ago, but it seems like it happened yesterday.

Among the Russian audience in the audience, there are many loyal viewers of Sumarokov.

Especially the older audience, some of whom had not attended a concert for a long time, came together again when they heard that Sumarokov was going to perform at the National Center for the Performing Arts.

These older Russian audiences had attended many of Sumarokov's concerts when they were young, and felt the changes in Sumarokov's piano sound along the way.

This time, it seemed like there was something heavier.
