This is the concert scene of the annual Berlin Forest Music Festival, which attracts worldwide attention.
In this year's concert, Lang Lang, a young pianist from China, acted as a solo. This is the first time since the Berlin Forest Concert was held in 1984 that a China person has performed a solo at the concert.
Lang Lang: When playing the piano, there is no distress, no fatigue and no obstacles. If you go, you have to perform, and you have to give your heart to the audience.
On the night of the concert, Lang Lang played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 in B flat minor with Berlin Philharmonic. In fact, Lang Lang was able to play this piece skillfully when he was nine years old. 1In August, 999, Lang Lang replaced an American pianist who was unable to play due to illness at the last star concert of lavinia Music Festival in Chicago, USA. He was just 17 years old that year. Before the concert, the famous artist Stern introduced Lang Lang to the audience with such a passage.
Lang Lang: (Recorded material) "You will hear the most beautiful and creative music in the world from this China boy."
In that concert, Lang Lang won the unanimous praise of the masters present and the whole critics with his skillful playing skills and dramatic creative performance.
Lang Lang: Through this concert, I feel like dreaming. I can't believe it myself. The daily contract is simple-I want to play 400 to 500 games a year if I want. For me, feeling the sky is open means that my dream has come true overnight. So I feel particularly incredible and feel really lucky.
Born in Shenyang, Lang Lang showed his musical talent at an early age. He began to learn piano at the age of 3, and won prizes in various competitions in Shenyang at the age of 5. For Lang Lang when he was a child, nothing makes him happier now.
Lang Lang: I still remember the day when the piano came into our house. At that time, I felt that something so big came in. Then I remembered that my parents said it was a piano. I don't want to go to kindergarten every time, so I'd rather practice at home than go to kindergarten. Later, for a while, I practiced at home, so I usually practiced other songs when everyone was tired of practicing this song, so I always practiced new songs. So I'll never get bored. When I'm tired of practicing, I'll build one myself. After listening to the song, I will start to adapt it and play my favorite songs on the piano. So for me, as long as I am tired, or just playing with my children, I like practicing the piano very much. I think piano has special power for me, and music has special power for me, so I like it very much since I was a child.
Since then, Lang Lang's family has only one focus in life, that is, let Lang Lang learn the piano with peace of mind and get systematic training. For this goal, Lang Lang's father quit his job and took him to Beijing to study.
Lang Lang: When I came to Beijing, I lived in a simple building. There was no stove or heating in winter. There was only one way. After eating, I closed the door of my room tightly, then left some hot air, and then I played the piano enthusiastically and crazily. In this way, I can keep the feeling of this winter after I am completely sweaty. I remember after playing the piano.
It feels cold because all the energy is released. I didn't feel cold when I played the piano, but I felt very, very cold after I played it, but I survived.
In Beijing, although life is hard, Lang Lang's performance level has improved rapidly. 1992, Lang Lang participated in the international young pianist competition held in Germany. That year, he 10 years old.
Lang Lang: When we participated in the international competition for the first time, we paid for it ourselves, so I remember that our family borrowed 50,000 RMB at that time, and then the whole ticket and all the money for the whole competition were totally borrowed. In other words, if there is no ranking in this competition, the whole thing will feel bankrupt. But at that time, my father trusted me, my family trusted me, and my teacher trusted me. I think at that time, I didn't know what fear was, what pressure was, and what tension was. For me, it is a successful career.
This is a photo of Lang Lang when he participated in the competition. He won the first prize and outstanding artistic performance award in that competition. From 65438 to 0993, Lang Lang participated in the second Tchaikovsky Youth Piano Competition in Japan. This is the video of the game.
In the end, Lang Lang once again held the championship trophy in his arms.
Lang Lang: Shakespeare has a saying that when it is calm, the big boat and the small boat go forward together, and all the boats can pass smoothly. But when the storm comes, the ship will be submerged. But the ship will move on, it will be more stable, and when the weather is clear, it will be more dazzling than before. So I think this is how much pressure a person can bear. So for me, because there are always people around me behind me.
Lang Lang said that not only his parents, but also his teachers and countless fans who like him have stood behind him for so many years. Now, on average, Lang Lang has performed more than 150 performances around the world every year. In his view, every performance is actually a summary of himself. After all, his future is tomorrow.
Lang Lang: Every time I think, how did I get here before? If people always remember how to get through the hard times, you will keep moving forward and you will never be proud. You will always be a real person.
