Beethoven Reborn Episode 254
56. season(5)
But you can know even if you can't hear.
The reason I was able to eventually become friends with Hong Seung-il was because both he and I wanted to make better music and we knew how hard each other worked..
“A moment later, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Nina Keberich will begin playing. If you are visiting, please take a seat..”
While I was thinking for a moment, an announcement came from the waiting room speaker..
I woke up to see with my own ears how much Nina Keberich has grown..
As I was passing through the hallway, I heard the sound of a piano in Choi Ji-hoon's waiting room..
When I opened the door, I saw the guy concentrating on the piano. He knocked on the door and only then did he turn around..
“They say it's starting soon.”
“Ah, that's already happened..”
Choi Ji-hoon checked the time and said calmly:.
“go first.”
“I don't listen?”
"huh."
Jihoon Choi put his hands on the keyboard again..
When I saw that, I felt that asking again was a distraction, so I headed to the concert hall alone..
“Wow, are you here? this……
As I sat down, Na Yoon-hee, who came first, handed me a pamphlet..
“thank you.”
It looks like the Los Angeles Philharmonic has prepared Schumann's Piano Concerto..
It is said that he created only one piano concerto in A minor in his entire life, and the university professor said that he thought only the orchestra should be used to express the orchestra, and only the piano should be used to express the piano..
With that in mind, he created a harmonious piece like A minor, so perhaps Schumann's thoughts may have created this masterpiece..
However, some doubts remain as to whether it suits Nina Keberich..
Nina's strength lies in her unpredictable nature and expressive power that makes you fall in love with it..
Their sense of rhythm is very developed, and they play around with beats freely. In fact, they are stronger in modern songs with a lot of changes than in classical or romantic songs..
Although I like my sonata the most.
However, as he is one of the few pianists I recognize, I believe he will surprise me once again..
A moment later, the Los Angeles Philharmonic came on stage..
I see some familiar faces, but it's not the Los Angeles Philharmonic I remember..
Since most of those who worked with Thomas Pils have retired, you can feel how time has passed..
‘How will Los Angeles, which was so great when working on film scores such as 'The Greatest Hope' and 'The Brave Soul', fit in with the genius that is Nina Keberich?…….
Ariel Finn Jans and Nina Keberich make an appearance.
The audience all warmly welcomed today's protagonist..
I applauded tremulously, but I couldn't help but applaud when I thought that Nina and Los Angeles' performance was at the fingertips of that crazy guy..
The skills themselves don't seem bad, but I can't figure out what they're thinking..
Ariel Jans took out her mask, and at the same time the orchestra got ready..
After making eye contact with Nina Keberich, he spread his arms and paused for a moment..
Filled with emotion, he raised his right hand vigorously and brought it down, keeping his left arm still..
The Los Angeles Philharmonic's powerful shouts were immediately followed by Nina's piano..
This time the oboe came out, and then Nina flapped her wings again..
Nina's wings are so elegant that at times they sound like butterflies, and when combined with the beautiful melody created by Schumann, they create a fantastic feeling..
First of all, the piano is a good start..
The process of leading from the conversation between the oboe and piano to the conversation between the clarinet and piano is very smooth..
At the same time, the two conversations gave a completely different feeling, and this was where Schumann's genius was clearly revealed..
Nina's unique honesty seems to stand out even more in the part where she communicates well with the oboe and clarinet..
‘Good.’
However, the part that worries me is the second movement..
Nina's unique sense of tempo went well with the orchestra in the first movement, but it is questionable how it will fare in the second movement, which has a strong cello melody..
So far, Nina's piano is shining, but her strong personality shines even more when she is alone..
‘ indeed.’
If Ariel Jans was in his right mind, he would have at least inserted a break instead of moving on smoothly like in the first movement..
But I was worried because I knew he wasn't in his right mind..
2The movement has begun.
The sound produced by the piano settled softly in the concert hall..
The orchestra came out in response, and soon we got to the part I was worried about..
‘What are you doing.’
After worrying about how to express it, Ariel Jans broke the harmony between the orchestra and piano that Schumann had perfectly tuned..
I put the cello first.
Nina's piano lowered itself to emphasize it, filling in the empty parts in more detail..
This isn't Nina's performance..
Although I was angry.
Surely this is also one way.
All instruments are just a means to a more beautiful performance, and solo instruments are no exception..
I was just disappointed as I had expected Nina's more advanced performance, but the performance itself was a fresh approach and the level of perfection was quite high..
I couldn't see it clearly, but I saw Nina..
Her typing is still clever. She became more adept at using the pedal, which had been her weakness, and she learned how to fit into the orchestra as well as show off her individuality..
It means having accumulated experience and years of experience..
It's good if you can maintain your individuality, but if not, I'm worried that your job in North America may have become toxic..
and.
3Entering the movement Allegro Vi vace (very fast and lively), I could see that I had been deceived by Ariel Jans and Nina all this time..
2As if in contrast to the other movements, in the third movement the piano spread its scent freely and more abundantly..
While using more scales than the original score, the performance is fast and lively..
Nina Keberich's hands sometimes bounce like salmon.
Now I can clearly see her expression.
Seeing that smiling face naturally refreshed my heart, and I applauded generously when the performance ended..

Performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Shen Yun Symphony, and Chicago Symphony concluded..
People were just amazed.
“Is it also Djerba Rubinstein? It was really amazing.?”
“Even without that, Chicago's performance of the powerful Brahms No. 1 was amazing. The explosive power was amazing.”
“Perhaps it was more so because of Djerba Rubinstein's skillful control of pace and pace. This is really Chicago getting the seed right.?”
“You never know. Shen Yun and Choi's performances were also quite good..”
“Before that, I should mention the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Although Choi's performance was excellent, Shen Yun is not yet at the level of advancing to the third round. I'd like to give a thumbs up to Ariel Jans and Nina Keberich for giving me a really refreshing Schumann..”
“hmm. I also agree that the LA Philharmonic was a dark horse..”
Ryoichi Sakamoto smiled at the conversation he heard from the seat next to him..
‘It's amazing.’
20Even a year ago, Ryoichi Sakamoto never thought classical music would have such a vitality again..
That wasn't the only thought.
The market shrunk day by day and music became more and more fixed..
Very few musicians have tried something new, and even fewer have achieved meaningful results..
That's why he was so happy when he heard 'Resurrection' 14 years ago..
It literally seemed to announce the revival of classical music..
Ryoichi Sakamoto thought that if the renaissance of the 21st century began, it would have been the day Bae Dobin's first single album was released..
‘A lot has changed before I know it.’
At some point, listening to classical music in any country around the world was not that unfamiliar..
Thanks to this, the older generation's worries were reduced and their understanding of classical music began to deepen..
However, it is a very obvious fact that if there is no change, it will be forgotten again..
I thought that if Bae Do-bin was the only one who could relieve those worries, it would just remain as hope..
‘Did you say he was Marie Jans' grandson?.’
Ryoichi Sakamoto clearly remembered the first performance of the day..
Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor seemed to be reborn thanks to its colorful scales and bold interpretation..
Ryoichi Sakamoto, who was also a composer and conductor, knew how difficult it was..
‘This is only possible if you can handle the entire song. amazing. amazing. I will become good friends with Dobin..’
Ryoichi Sakamoto thought that Ariel Finn Jans would be a good stimulus for Dobin Bae due to his hard-to-find personality and outstanding skills..
I felt a little relieved when I realized that I would not be lonely in an era without musicians in their twilight years like me, Furtwängler, Marie Jans, and Djerba Rubinstein..
Also before that.
I was so happy that the hope of Bae Do-bin would not be temporary..
A musician better than anyone else.
Needless to say, the genius of the century, the treasure of mankind, the Demon King of Berlin, Lucy Pyo1, and Maestro Bae Dobin are unrivaled in both the current and next generations..
Indeed, it is the light that illuminates the path to a new era..
However, Sakamoto thought that if no one walks that path, it will only remain as hope..
‘We'll have a good influence on each other.’
If talented talents like Ariel Jans follow the path led by Dobin Bae, and if the number of such people increases, the future of the classical music world will certainly be something to look forward to..
Sakamoto tapped his knee..
‘Miss Nina Keberich is now completely stable..’
Moreover, this cannot happen if there are only conductors like Bae Do-bin or Ariel..
In order for a great concert to be possible, the performers also had to change and develop..
In that sense, Nina Ke Berich's skills that blossomed in this OOTY Orchestra competition were a welcome sight..
Of course, he is currently not as good as many established pianists, but the sight of him dancing in the orchestra was so beautiful..
Ryoichi Sakamoto smiled with satisfaction and secretly hoped that his old friend Djerba Rubinstein and the Chicago Symphony would separate so that talented people who would open a new era could rise to greater heights..
Meanwhile, those gathered in the press box were also busy praising Djerba Rubinstein, Ariel Jans, Nina Keberich, and Choi Sung-shin..
“This is really surprising.”
“That's right. If Los Angeles is doing so well, I wonder if Shen Yun could be in danger..”
“1Forgot your round already? Shen Yun fans are huge..”
“Even so, there is a difference in level. Although it was unfortunate for Choi Seong-shin,.”
“I know. It was such a great performance, but the difference between the orchestras was unavoidable..”
“In comparison, Los Angeles was great..”
“hmm. Honestly, if it weren't for Chicago
1Looks like it's worth aiming for too.”
“no. It's still possible.”
“What are you talking about when everyone has Bae Dobin left??”
“Needless to say, Bae Do-bin. But the collaborator is still too young...
“You mean Choi Ji-hoon? I just started working as a professional, so what? Although he has stood out since he was young, he is no match for today's opponents. He is not even close to Choi Sung-shin, his senior from the same country..”
Praise from Chicago and Los Angeles and occasional admiration for Choi Sung-shin were heard everywhere..
It was often said that Bae Do-bin didn't know anything, but the pianist's skills in the piano concerto still could not be ignored..
In a situation like Shen Yun, where the level of the orchestra is very different, the Chicago Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic both delivered excellent music for what one would expect from the Berlin Philharmonic..
Koreans Pil-ho Lee, Se-yoon Jeong, and I-seul Han also had the same thought..
“I think the first crisis has come to the Berlin Philharmonic B..”
“Iknow, right. Chicago, that was expected, but Los Angeles did so well that I'm a little worried..”
Cha Chae-eun was upset by the conversation between Lee Pil-ho and Jeong Se-yoon..
“What are you worried about? I'm saying that Dobin oppa and Jihoon oppa are falling apart.?”
When Lee Pil-ho and Jeong Se-yoon were embarrassed and couldn't answer properly, critic Han Iseul spoke up..
“Actually, it's like that. Perhaps choosing Choi Ji-hoon could act as a handshake for Bae Do-bin. If it had been Gauwang or Nina Keberich, they would have definitely not only won first place in the group but also secured the seed spot..”
Chae-eun Chae-eun was dumbfounded by Han I-seul's words and was speechless..
I was angry that I thought she was a cool person, even if only for a moment, and I was also annoyed that when I was young, I was impressed by the article she wrote about Bae Do-bin..
“Critic Han Iseul seems to be evaluating things without even listening.?”
“huh?”
Chae-eun snorted and leaned back in her chair..
