At 8:00 p.m. this Saturday, the 68-year-old Bobby Da debuted on the stage of the CCTV comprehensive channel "Classic Yong Chuan" of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, singing the classic poem "Wandering Zi Yin", which is also the first time that the behind-the-scenes "yin" xiong of the Chinese music scene has performed Chinese; Liu Kaiwei sang the fresh little poems written by the octogenarian "poetry maniac", such as the spring breeze blowing on the face and intoxicating; Cheng Fangyuan joined hands with the 11-year-old "idle boy" to perform the classic work of "from one to ten", which is refreshing.
The 68-year-old Bobby Da sang the classic "Ruan Crazy" Feng Mantian for the first time with Chinese to perform Li Bai's "Difficult to Walk"
"New Can't Love", "Mortal Song", "Love Like a Tide"... These songs that once swept the streets were all written by Bobby Da, the master of music. He has participated in the recording of famous singers such as Zhang Guorong and Mui Yanfang, and Zhang Guorong once called him "the beloved music director". Now that he is nearly seventy years old, he has tried his first attempt to sing Chinese classics with Chinese in "Classic Arias". Bobby Da, who grew up in a Filipino family, has always had an inexplicable affinity for Chinese culture. In order to make Chinese music that more foreigners can understand, he once spent all his wealth to produce a music album "Zhongyuan Xinle". It turned out that Bobby Da's body had been flowing with the blood of Chinese, and when he was in his thirties, he learned that his birth mother was Chinese, and a song "Wandering Son" sang a wanderer's "journey to find roots" for nearly half of his life.
"Ruan Crazy" Feng Mantian also brought a new work "Walking Difficulty" this time. He held Tang Ruan in his hand, and his voice and chanting made people immersed in it, as if people could see the figure of Li Bai who was struggling forward on the "many wrong roads" a thousand years ago. "It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! What a wrong way, is it now?" This is also a portrayal of Feng Mantian's journey. He loves Ruan, and each piano in the performance is made by himself, and while respecting traditional techniques, he actively carries out modern and improved experiments on materials and instruments. In order to retrieve the timbre played by Nguyen Ham, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", he spent many years and 47 failures before finally making an imitation of Tang Hidden Hole Zhong Nguyen in 2010.
Liu Kaiwei sang a small poem written by the octogenarian "poetry maniac" Xu Weizhou sang an inspiring song
"I don't know who cut the fine leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors", a generation of "poetry maniacs" He Zhizhang wrote a childlike poem in his eighties, which is still a classic poem of the popular population. Under Liu Kaiwei's affectionate interpretation, this fresh work also has a unique taste. In fact, since he grew up studying abroad, he rarely had the opportunity to contact ancient Chinese poetry. Once he went to the mainland to shoot a drama, saw the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes for the first time, and was deeply shocked by the magnificent art left by his predecessors. In the face of Chinese classics, Liu Kaiwei was in awe and said that he would always study with the attitude of a primary school student.
Xu Weizhou, who debuted in "Classic Arias", brought a well-known song "Qinyuan Spring and Snow". For him, it was a lot of pressure to interpret this grand psalm well. He and the team have been carefully polished, and four versions of different styles have been produced before and after. When he stood in the center of the stage with great vigor and singing the pride in the poem, Zhu Dan was greatly surprised: "For the first time, I felt xu Weizhou's big energy explosion." As the "National Ice and Snow Sports Promotion Ambassador" of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Xu Weizhou hopes that people around the world can see the beautiful scenery of our motherland's "northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow".
Cheng Fangyuan joined hands with 11-year-old teenagers to cheerfully "sing tour" Xiamen Sixth Middle School Choir to perform the most beautiful Jiangnan
Cheng Fangyuan, who has a unique voice, once sang songs such as "Childhood" and "I Want to Become a White Cloud" and swept the country, now she has come to the stage of "Classic Arias" and performed a song "From One to Ten" with 11-year-old Du Ruoyi, which is extremely warm and cheerful. Seeing Du Ruoyi, who loved Chinese culture since childhood, Cheng Fangyuan also remembered the poems he recited when he was a child, and now he still remembers it vividly, and skillfully recited a passage of "Peach Blossom Origin" on the spot. In addition to "reading thousands of books", she also "travels thousands of miles", and has visited many places over the years to feel different customs and customs, which are also reflected in her musical style of integrating various elements.
The Xiamen Sixth Middle School Choir took the stage for the third time to bring new works. They held bamboo in their hands, gently patted each other, and sang "Fish Play Lotus Leaf" in the form of Acapella, interpreting the most beautiful Jiangnan. The children's music instructor said that the song deliberately added a lot of original things when designing and arranging the music. The clear voice with the beautiful picture made Kang Zhen can't help but admire: "Every girl is like a poem." This Saturday at 8 p.m., let's listen to the classic voices in "Classic Arias".
