As part of the "Legacy of Love" project series to commemorate the 10th anniversary of musician Thanh Tung's departure, a live concert of the same name is held at the National Convention Center in Hanoi with the participation of famous singers including: Diva Thanh Lam, My Linh, Tung Duong, Le Quyen, My Anh.
Under the arrangement of Music Director Tran Manh Hung, familiar works by musician Thanh Tung are renewed with classical crossover style (combining symphony orchestra and modern band) along with the sublime performance of the CAM Philharmonic orchestra, Son Thach Band, Green Wind Choir.
Liveconcert "Legacy of Love" is divided into 3 parts, showing different styles in Thanh Tung's artistic life. According to music director Tran Manh Hung, the musical language of the late musician Thanh Tung, although in the style of Pop music, the melody and lyrics are very subtle, profound and have a unique personality.
His music was in line with the general trend of world music at that time (the 1980s - 1990s), harmonizing with the flow of the times, and still imbued with his own "very Thanh Tung" identity.
When arranging about 19 songs in the live concert, some works were performed by singers, some works were adapted for orchestras, musician Tran Manh Hung carefully studied each song, based on the original harmony as well as the time of birth to choose suitable instruments. And no matter how much he innovates, how modern instruments are brought in, he still tries to maintain the original spirit that musician Thanh Tung wants to convey.
The live concert also gathered voices deeply attached to Thanh Tung's music when he was alive, including Diva Thanh Lam, the female singer who always considered musician Thanh Tung as a great "teacher" in the profession: "When singing his songs, I feel very "excited" because I have a wide range to express my voice. I can feel, be immersed in the world of emotions that he wrote in the song".
Diva My Linh performed the songs "Loi to tinh cua mua Xuan" (Spring Confession) and "Loi cu ta ve" (The Old Road We Return), the female singer was very leisurely, without having to try to sing loudly and high.
The only male voice of the music night - Tung Duong - was again the highlight of the program when he performed the songs "Trai tim khong ngu yen", "Mot minh", "Hoa cuc vang" full of confidence and rich in emotion.
As for Le Quyen herself, she rarely sings Thanh Tung's music, so when she was assigned 2 of her favorite songs "Em va toi", "Giot nang ben them", the female singer felt very lucky: "I used to stand on such a big stage to sing with the symphony orchestra, but there has never been a program where the orchestra is so magnificent".
In particular, the appearance of Gen Z singer - My Anh is a bold but very meaningful decision of the organizers when they want Thanh Tung's musical heritage to be continued by the younger generation with a new mindset, a new perspective. My Anh's performance with a duet with her mother - Diva My Linh in "Dewdrop on the Eyelashes" was praised by the audience for her more mature voice.
She and her mother are like two colleagues, talking and supporting each other when harmonizing. My Anh was also honored to end the show with the work "Singing with the Little Cicada" with a choir of children.
The "Legacy of Love" project is implemented by the family of the late musician with concerts, vinyl records and music books, successively released in 2026. The family of the late musician Thanh Tung plans to organize the program in Ho Chi Minh City so that Southern audiences have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the emotional world of the talented musician.
