Telling the imprint of the times with songs, Liao Changyong: There is no distinction between high and low level in music

There is no competition, no elimination, several cross-era strength singers, cover each other's classic songs, share the story behind the music, and unfold the time picture of cultural change. In the newly launched music variety show "Time Concert", a warm painting style different from previous music variety shows is conveyed.

"It's very warm, like a music salon, to share your heart journey with everyone and your loved ones." Recently, Liao Changyong, a famous baritone singer and dean of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, was interviewed by Xiaoxiang Morning News as a guest of the program, and when talking about his understanding of variety shows, Liao Changyong frankly said: "All the stages that can sincerely intersect with the audience, I will not refuse." Just like my teacher told me, we have to break the door of the teacher, to go out of the school door, to open the door of the heart, which taught me an attitude towards music. ”

Liao Changyong said that as a music inheritor, he cannot rest on his laurels with music. "Every way of musical expression has its merits, and I think everyone should learn from each other, learn from each other, and enrich their own artistic expression."

Different from the sensory stimulation of competitive variety shows, "Time Concert" is more like a warm music salon sharing meeting in Liao Changyong's eyes, "it is a secondary transmission of the music creator's life feelings, which not only allows the public to have a deeper understanding of the musical background, but also allows musicians who reinterpret the work to have a direction to learn from." ”

Liao Changyong said bluntly that in the midst of good mountains and good waters, sharing the creative process with relatives and friends will form a natural dialogue field, and music sharing will become a kind of emotional exchange ceremony that returns to sincerity." ”

When talking about the classic song "Old Days", Liao Changyong revealed, "This song carries many memories of the past, the beauty of rural life, the dispersal of growing friends... But the sound of familiar music and the triggering of old objects make the yellowed memory more vivid. As the song goes, "The most beautiful treasures in life are those past times."

But Liao Changyong is not sad about this, he believes that although everyone is busy with life, we will not lose our expectations for life because of tempering. "The songs bring us those feelings about life, life and career, and now through the telling of music stories, they have passed on the power to more new friends, life is always beautiful, and we must strive to pursue such a beautiful one."

In Liao Changyong's view, whether it is classical musicians or pop and ethnic musicians, everyone's pursuit and expression of music is consistent. The so-called "beautiful voice" is not so much a beautiful voice as a "beautiful singing". "The singers sincerely express their feelings about life and art to the audience through singing, forming a resonance between emotion and life experience." The singers further deepened the emotional connection between the singers and the listeners in the sharing, and listened to the songwriting stories while also exploring the essence of music. ”

Music and music variety shows, in the final analysis, are a cultural force, and Liao Changyong looks at the connection between the two with an open eye. "The variety stage, like the stage of opera and musical theater, is a window to show artistic talent, and I am particularly disapproving of artificially dividing musical genres into high-level, low-level, or estranged between various musical genres. If we rest on our laurels, the road will get narrower and narrower. In ancient times, when the literati talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they were actually talking about a comprehensive cultivation. So I cherish the opportunity that every stage gives me to communicate with the audience. I also hope that through my efforts, more people can understand and bring more categories and styles of musical works and literary and artistic works to this society. ”

Nowadays, groups of young singers are moving forward on the road of pursuing music, Liao Changyong said, "On the road of pursuing music, there will be difficulties or setbacks, but everyone must be able to maintain sincerity and not forget their original intentions." A singer can only be full of music if he is soberly putting himself in the right position. Between the singer and the listener, they should interact sincerely like friends and family. ”
