New vitality of classical music
On the evening of April 19, at Ho Guom Theater, "Melodies of Triumph" brought a well-arranged musical space, where audiences could listen and "live" in each sound layer. The program is accompanied by ROX Group and MSB Commercial Joint Stock Bank.
The program started with a double concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by violinist Chuong Vu, who is highly appreciated for his sophisticated, poetic style, and oboist Wei Xiang, a young talented face from Singapore. The sounds of the violin and oboe blended together to create a "dialogue" full of nuances, sophistication and suggestiveness.
Next is the piano duet of artists Nguyen Trinh Huong and Nguyen Huy Phuong in the Concerto for two pianos Re, FP. 61 by Francis Poulenc. The work carries a witty spirit, blending neoclassics and jazz, opening up a lively dialogue between the two pianos and the orchestra.
The coordination between the two artists clearly shows harmony when constantly changing roles to lead and support, while the orchestra not only provides a backdrop but also contributes to creating depth for the music dialogue.
After the break, Symphony No. 4 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky opens up a more intense emotional space. The theme of "fate" is clearly depicted through layers of sounds, sometimes crashing, sometimes tormented, then bursting, creating a climax throughout and spreading strongly in the auditorium.
Leading the entire program is conductor Franz Schottky. With experience in collaborating with many international orchestras such as the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra dell'Arena di Verona, Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana or Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra Olomouc, he brings a clear, restrained but powerful conducting style. This opens up many spaces for emotions to spread.
One viewer shared that the direction style of conductor Franz Schottky - "charming, flexible and not framed". According to this audience member, the program maintained its completeness and coherence, with melodies guiding listeners through many different levels, clearly reflecting the personal style of the three composers from Baroque, Neoclassical to Romantic.
Creating reaching out with artistic quintessence
