Chapter 586: Chapter 385: Pop & Classical Music, Ensemble!
At the moment just before the music reaches its climax.
In this instrumental interlude,
Bai Junze once again showcased his incredibly powerful cello talent!
The melody gradually climbed,
When this musical genius restrained his usual wild style and instead channeled that intensity into emotional expression.
Heavy emotional release.
Everyone saw a complete Bai Junze.
Not a solitary wanderer.
Nor a maverick squandering his talents.
But a homecomer.
Here, Bai Junze presented his ultimate solo performance!
The cello’s sound lingered and twisted gracefully.
Emotions escalated step by step.
The man played with utter immersion.
Stage lights shone upon him. He performed a one-man show on the entire stage.
"..."
All the audience watched in absolute astonishment.
"Amazing... so amazing!"
"What a powerful cello presence."
"No wonder he was second in the semifinals....."
"Feels like Ze’s performance has transcended here!"
"....."
Sitting in front of his computer, Zhang Dong, upon seeing such a performance, felt not only shock but also a faint sense of apprehension.
A Bai Junze like this.
Can he really be defeated?
At the finals, if facing such a Bai Junze.
Do the other cellists truly have a chance?
Zhang Dong almost burst out laughing, he let out a helpless sigh, yet with heartfelt admiration,
"Mr. Moonlight, Miss Cat..... what kind of monster have you created?"
...
Just when all the audience were enraptured by Bai Junze’s solo performance.
Suddenly, as emotions peaked.
In the next moment,
Gan Yanyu and Mao Weiang simultaneously picked up their bows.
Sitting before the TV, Yao Han suddenly stood up, staring intently at the screen.
All three drew their cellos simultaneously.
The ensemble began!
Three cellos resounded together.
Multiple tones intertwined.
Three different cello styles converged onto the same line.
Lin Tian, who was playing the piano, felt a sudden tension, as the segment fraught with errors appeared anew.
In an instant,
A storm erupted!
With a clash of a thousand horses, an unprecedented sense of pressure weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.
And as this force reached its peak, it all burst forth at a certain moment—
The music,
Surged like the mighty Yangtze River.
Effortlessly and joyfully... flowing out.
They did it...
"Beautiful!!"
Zhang Dong, before the live broadcast, shouted, scratching his itchy scalp desperately,
"Damn, this is awesome!! Even more satisfying than, you know, relieving myself!!"
Such thrilling music.
Such overwhelming emotional outbursts.
If,
The earlier solo performances had conveyed emotions through the story-telling form of classical music.
Then now, their ensemble perfectly captured the soul of pop music.
In an instant, providing a pleasure akin to fireworks explosion!
All preceding emotional buildup was for this moment!
On the stage,
The three cellists closed their eyes simultaneously, expressionless.
Bows swiftly ran over the strings.
Flawless ensemble without any contradictions.
With perfect harmony, a music performance free from fault!
The music roared, howled, bringing different yet shared unparalleled emotional release from the trio!
.....
Offstage,
The audience had long been overwhelmingly astounded.
Just like watching a movie,
When a true climax scene arrives, the shocked audience often finds themselves speechless.
Because their entire attention has been completely anchored onto the scene itself, fearing to miss any detail.
They just widened their eyes slightly, staring unblinkingly at the stage...
Until the rhythm slightly eased,
They came back to their senses from the emotions, expressing admiration:
"So... so wonderful!"
"Never imagined... the music they played together could be so beautiful..."
"Truly moved, as a fan, I’ve never seen Maestro Maozi this emotional."
"Bai Junze too, his music never used to be this delicate."
"Their ensemble is not just talk... they’ve really practiced well..."
It must be acknowledged.
The vast majority, at this moment, had a vague understanding of what drove Mao Weiang and Bai Junze to such transformation in their performance.
It wasn’t anyone else,
It was Gan Yanyu, sitting on the stage,
At this moment, playing the cello, and Lin Tian, whose piano never stopped from beginning to end.
In fact,
Hasn’t Gan Yanyu changed too?
Many audience members, who had never truly taken the time to appreciate Gan Yanyu’s classical music before.
Today, in this piece with a pop music style, for the first time, they listened intently.
Indeed, it was breathtaking cello.
It was their first realization that
The cellist before them was not, as they imagined, someone who deliberately flaunted themselves in the fan circle culture for persona.
Her music does not lie. She truly is a dedicated classical musician who always plays with "heart" for everyone.
Moreover, her cello is genuinely beautiful.
No wonder.
Many in the audience now had a subtle answer in their hearts.
Only such a person,
Could probably change people like Mao Weiang and Bai Junze, right?
Then came the question,
"This ’Zhao Zilong’ piece— is it classical music, or pop music?"
