Members who were uneasy about Furtwängler's firm attitude also came to their senses..
Manuel Neuer clenches his trembling hands and Hans swallows heavily..
Na Yoon-hee, who went to the bathroom, still had moisture on her face and hair, but her expression was more serious than ever..
All other units.
Each of them burned their will to hold the instrument they had spent their entire lives with..
anyone.
Even God cannot deny those who have worked solely for music for at least 20 years and as many as 60 years..
Kerba Stein led the members to the stage..
Those who were seated soon checked their instruments according to the notes made by the chief oboist..
“Do you know.”
Furtwängler said to me before going on stage:.
“The great Ludwig said: music.”
“There are no rules you can't break to be more beautiful..”
Furtwängler looked at me and smiled brightly..
“You know it well..”
200I still felt the same way as I did years ago.
It is a proposition that will not be shaken in the future..
“ let's go.”
Went to the stage with Furtwängler.
The Berlin Philharmonic thanked its fans, receiving applause from 30,000 people gathered under the warm sun..
They were the reason we could exist as musicians and gave us meaning, so we bowed deeply and politely and sat down..
To play the first song, the Berlin Fantasia, I gave a signal to Furtwängler at the piano..
After getting ready, we sang that spring is coming again..
A firm will that never breaks down even in the cruel wind or the falling snow..
I have no doubt that the warm sunlight will eventually shine at the end of that will..
rising flute.
Cello and double bass follow slowly but with a sense of weight..
When the first performance, which continued without a break, ended, the Olympiastadion Berlin stadium was filled with applause..
We accepted the audience's overwhelming hearts with our whole body and prepared the second song, The Greatest Hope (F minor)..
The Greatest Hope is a song that I first tried music from this world after being led by Ryoichi Sakamoto when I was young..
Except for Resurrection, all of the songs on the first album were made in the old style because I had been pouring out songs that I had only thought about in my head after being reborn..
This song was a song that touched my heart a lot because it was the first song to announce myself in this era along with the resurrection..
The process of inserting the piano to play today reminded me of the excitement I felt back then..
Soon the performance began with a heavy sound..
1Movement Moderato: Normal tempo).
After the first violin's theme, the bassoon adds a heavy atmosphere, and the driving percussion section and cello.
I also join in.
A piano that repeats the theme between a powerful cello and percussion instruments that protrude as if plucking at the heart..
Continuing the tension.
2Movement Andante: Slowly).
The second movement of the symphony does not deviate from slowness, but it dramatically utilizes the theme transformation used in the C minor Symphony (Fate)..
The tension of the song is added by counterpointing the 5th string section and using them to change the first theme by lengthening or shortening it..
‘Feel so good.’
I watched Furtwängler while following the strings on the piano..
The sounds that follow every time his strong arms move. Even though the harmony of sounds is different from what I expected, it is definitely beautiful..
The greatest hope he envisions is far from the tranquility I intended, but it is full of tension..
a brief interval.
There is a baby crying, someone coughing, someone rushing somewhere..
We hope that people will feel as comfortable listening to our music as if they were wearing ordinary, comfortable clothes..
Next, the third movement, Allegrissimo: very quickly.).
The scherzo movement, with its violent arrangement of note changes, was faster than any three movements I had created..
The horizontal progression and vertical changes were so fast that, in fact, when I was writing the song, I had doubts about whether I would be able to find someone who could play it..
But Thomas Pils and the Los Angeles Philharmonic performed so well and perfectly according to my intention..
Now the Berlin Philharmonic is playing with dynamics to utilize it more dramatically..
I can't believe that the members, who were reluctant at first because they had to practice new songs on a tight regular schedule, are able to perform so well..
The inspiration is new..
‘I don't mind trying harder.’
Because it’s the world’s best philharmonic.
The song has already reached the fourth movement..
a moment of silence.
So many people quietly waited for us to play..
Without a single sound.
A fleeting moment waiting for us to sing without a breath of wind, I couldn't control my pounding heart..
I came here because Dobbin and Wilhelm said they were doing something fun, but it felt like watching a rock star's huge live performance..
As the first part of Berlin Fantasia and The Greatest Hope ended, as many as 30,000 people erupted in cheers..
I, like them, got emotional and applauded passionately..
1Interestingly, Boo's two songs were Dobin's earliest and most recent songs, and you could feel how much of a change there was between the two songs..
The strong and solemn feeling of the greatest hope, as if listening to music from the time when Schumann and Schubert were active throughout Beethoven's life, seemed to indicate that classical music could still go further..
The Berlin Fantasia, with its completely different composition, was a new form of classical music presented by musician Bae Do-bin..
‘It's wide..’
I can't figure out where in that small body there is such a wide and deep world..
Musicians exist because there are people who listen to their music..
As times go by, people's tastes change, so I thought I too had been pursuing music without stubbornness..
Even if Dobin looks like that,.
He was taking a different path from Wilhelm, who stuck to the existing things..
2wealth.
The piano was put away and Dobin took the concertmaster's seat..
It's Canon.
Is there any performer better suited than Dobin for a sound that is loud like a cannon and straight and clear like a bamboo?.
It was such an ‘increase’ and a ‘brave soul’..
“bravo!”
“bravo!”
2After the wealth is over.
People rejoice even more.
A powerful energy not seen in the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall..
Wearing everyday clothes rather than their usual suits, they seemed to enjoy Dobin's music as freely as if they were watching a soccer game..
Is it natural that the music is so powerful and outdoors?.
‘Brave Soul had quite a bit of arrangement..’
Was classical music this exciting?.
I couldn't easily guess how much time Dobin must have agonized over to create this easy and intuitive music, as he was able to throw his whole body into the excitement with his heart pounding..
easy music.
It's easy to communicate difficult things the hard way.
It is even easier to make something plausible out of nothing..
However, the emotion that moves people's hearts with a truly valuable sound. Achieving that is the task for musicians of this era..
I am Ryoichi Sakamoto.
I devoted my whole life to making that kind of music, and tried many genres to do so, but I was never satisfied..
today.
I was satisfied by meeting a musician who sings of this era..
Even after the curtain call, the audience applause continued..
Before Wilhelm Furtwängler could say anything, the members of the Berlin Philharmonic exchanged glances with their colleague..
3He must have been exhausted already because he performed with all his might for over two hours under the pressure of an audience of 10,000 people..
Their faces were full of life.
“I should go out.”
“Sure!”
Hans shouted in response to Furtwängler’s words. They laughed once at that unusual man..
“Dvořák No. 9 4th movement preparation.”
From the new world.
Is there any other song better suited to convey the identity of the Berlin Philharmonic today?.
Bae Do-bin took the lead and the members headed back to the stage..
It was a step to announce that a new era had arrived..
［Berlin Philharmonic special charity concert a great success］
【3Music fans filled 10,000 seats］
“I didn't know classical music could be so enjoyable. I will come back again for a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic..”
-31 three office workers
“I went with my mom. It was good.”
-6three kindergartners
“There is something about Bae Do-bin's music that warms the heart. I feel it every time.”
-45three businessmen
“I can't believe such a great show only costs 10 euros. I don't know if that's okay. But I will definitely be looking for the next charity concert as well..”
-37three housewives
“My heart is pounding. I heard that listening to it makes me want to make music again..”
-58three gardeners
The Berliner Philharmoniker's special charity concert was a great success.
Outdoor. It was also disappointing that sound equipment had to be used because it was difficult to clearly hear the orchestra's music in a large-scale performance the size of a football stadium, but that regret will be improved as long as this special charity concert continues..
An even greater achievement was the popularization of classical music..
There were many reasons why classical music had difficulty becoming popular..
If you condense the many reasons into one word,.
‘Why?.’
Although classical music is everywhere in our lives, a certain elegance of it creates a wall between the public and classical music..
A formal atmosphere.
long playing time.
For a similar amount of money, you could go see a concert by a famous singer, so there was less and less reason for the younger generation to enjoy classical music..
It was not because it was expensive to enjoy, nor because the performer was lacking in skill..
It was simply because there was no reason or motivation to approach, but Bae Do-bin's music had sufficient motivation..
Through a nostalgic movie from ten years ago.
Or, people remembered Bae Do-bin's music through an impressive game a few years ago..
That pleasure.
When Bae Do-bin and the Berlin Philharmonic played it, memories of that time came to mind and I was able to return to the feeling of being moved by it..
People who did not know classical music and were brought in by family or acquaintances also
When God Knows Music came out, I started enjoying the music..
Naturally, I didn't know how to enjoy a classical music concert or basic manners..
I just listened to good music, rejoiced, cried, and was so filled with tears..
That was the honest music pursued by Dobin Bae, the Berlin Philharmonic, and Ryoichi Sakamoto..
It was easy music.
