For clarinetist Wang Tao, 2020 is a special and memorable year, when he and his wife, the famous gymnast Liu Xuan, welcomed their second child. The re-pregnancy of his wife and the arrival of his daughter gave him a deeper understanding of women. Therefore, after a year of preparation, Wang Tao officially launched his second popular cross-border performance album "TALK TO HER" on March 8, 2021. On this album, he uses musical means to talk to the most important "her" of his life.
Wang Han has released more than 10 solo albums, including classical, contemporary chamber music, crossover, new century music and other different styles. "TALK TO HER" is the second popular crossover performance album released after 6 years after "One Day". This album will be classical and popular reorganization analysis, ten works cover multiple time and space, multi-region, multi-angle and other different dimensions, and everyone plays an important role in the life of "she" dialogue.
Talking about the original intention of creation, Wang Tao said that the current clarinet album is not purely a female topic, and he is very touched by the way the two sexes get along: "Our family is a female-dominated family, last year the daughter was born, I and Xuan's mother came to help, plus Xuan, and aunt, there are a total of five women in the family. They are of different ages, different cultural backgrounds, different contributions, and I will have a great feeling for the role of mother. My wife sometimes says you're too busy to listen to me, so I think listening and talking is an important part of family life. It also sparked my idea to do this album. ”
In addition to the pure music version of "Woman Flower" played by Wang Tao, there is also a song "Woman Flower" played by Wang Tao and sung by Tranquility. Speaking of Tranquility, Wang Tao praised it: "This version of "Woman Flower" that I cooperated with Sister Tranquility is very different from the version I played myself. Sister Tranquility is a woman with a very personal personality, and I think she represents a symbol of women. She can be very independent or very free, so when this version is played, the tone is very bright, a little bit of glitter. ”
Today, Wang Tao is not only a clarinetist, he also participates in variety shows with his wife Liu Xuan, becoming a classical musician with millions of fans on social media platforms. Wang Tao said, "I have an idol who is Bernstein, who is good at business, filming, lecturing, doing shows, and really promoting classical music at that time. I don't have that much energy, but I have the energy to better promote the instrumentS in my hand to others, including through variety shows. As long as I am given a chance to play the clarinet on variety shows, I feel very valuable. In this way, more people will know about clarinet. ”
