Surging news interview with pianist Zhu Xiaomei, she does not want to face the media to tell their stories, think it worth mentioning, she hid behind the music; Zhu Xiaomei prefer to talk about Bach, but when it comes to music is bound to talk about abstract philosophy and life, she think reporters are too young and do not know. In order to help the reporter job, she will in turn tell she didn't want to be autobiographical story. Only in the China disabled persons ' Federation of Pui Chi school when interacting with children, she still was not completely answered children's questions, guide the children to play the piano, and play a small section at the beginning of the Goldberg Variations.

The night of 13th, 5 to 7 people in Zhu Xiaomei Bach's "road" concert to leave halfway through, including many well-known musicians. Beijing Wangfujing Church Concert Hall more than just more than 20 rows of seats, last two rows of the day no one sits.

This is travel to Chinese pianist Zhu Xiaomei home show for the second time in 36 years. Her at the Beijing International Music Festival, the first performance of the Goldberg Variations.

On November 9 last year, Zhu Xiaomei in Shanghai Symphony Orchestra concert hall of the Goldberg variations for solo piano concerts sold out 48 hours invoiced that is on record. Many supporters "a winner" buying amid encores of Zhu Xiaomei was finalized on November 13.

13th night in Wangfujing Street concerts live music concert hall college student Zhu Xiaomei Jiang Zhizhong of last year due to play fresh. He told the word news, last year more than 800 Yuan ticket for the concert were fired to over 2000. Wangfujing Cathedral concerts this year, sites are not so big, eventually got the ticket, more concern for the music industry and business leaders.

In music, the playing field error is called "car accident", while Zhu Xiaomei concert dubbed "the scene of the accident", playing on the same day, she also had a few mistakes, but most people understood. According to an unnamed conductor, said, however, her tone and body lines are excellent, the error reason is because of her understanding of Bach is not limited to a simple reading, but has come to free, free to control of the music. Others believe that, Zhu Xiaomei is nearly seven years old, live effects may be due to degradation of the finger reduced.

"I want God introduced me to Bach"

Right is a poster of Zhu Xiaomei.

In fact, for errors in the industry there have been two schools of thought, one view, players must follow the strict rules of music, another view is that as long as the expression meaning of lyrics, a few wrong notes does not matter. In concert playing Bach's music was very little, has been a famous musician at a concert playing 5 variation, it was commented that bold, but Zhu Xiaomei played 25, if not absolutely confident about yourself and the Bach-like, there will be no such choice.

Baroque music scholar buleideli·leiman full of admiration of Xiao-Mei played the Goldberg Variations. He has a wonderful metaphor: you take a boat wave ripples in the quiet heart. The Goldberg Variations began ... ... But what have you noticed how the process ... ... As the boat driving your body, with the waves slightly swaying. Of your own in this movement. You can imagine changing music in seconds, showing you those subtle changes in the Goldberg Variations. Work itself revealed more dimensions than you know. It's not just perfect, with some beauty of its irrationality. Moments that ups and downs as you boat, floating between the waves, listeners in sports ... ... You will also feel the effects of the force of nature beyond control, you listen more. This is Zhu Xiaomei played.

Originally the Church sponsors increase the complex lighting effects, but when Zhu Xiaomei tries the piano requires the use of the original lights on the Church. Zhu Xiaomei said, "compared to the concert hall, she prefers to play at Church, because Bach was first organist, working in the Church. Concert Hall more of a performance, to show themselves. "

France humanists Yue Zhao Sheng in the temple stood in a solemn (Zhu Xiaomei music) are described in a paper, famous contemporary plays, no one playing Bach, but withstand the test of play is not much. Reason is probably one of these when we played Bach, too much himself. They are skilled, self strong, consciously and unconsciously put aside old Bach, talking to myself. They have everything, but owed a bit of fear. Xiao-Mei's playing is a different story. She is the "I am six" method, but not downright strange, just natural understanding. In Bach's Music Hall, Xiao-Mei is three-China, curl shengtang, burning incense and clean hands, clear filter, in the bead curtain around Grace's quiet singing to the old Bach.

"Bach composed to music life, and 30 pieces of my life. Young when the "cultural revolution", Western music was banned. By chance, I got the law of averages, I surreptitiously copied down. In Bach's awareness of the environment is too lucky. "Zhu Xiaomei in documentaries, a Chinese pianist and Bach, so Readme.

In fact, the Goldberg Variations is a Canon technique classic. Canon comes from Greece, its intention was to "rules". It features voice imitation, follow stricter rules, rich expression of idea, is worthy of the name "shackles dance." The Goldberg Variations of Bach's one, by Canon means write all human joys and sorrows, their full time, strict rules of Canon to perk up nine days of giant wings.

A few years ago, France's most famous cultural presenters boerna·biwo Zhu Xiaomei was asked a question: "If you have the opportunity to make a demand of God, you will ask? "Zhu Xiaomei blurted out:" I want him to introduce me to Bach. "

Zhu Xiaomei believed that "can move the audience is an aria at the end works of reproduction. This representation raises a question: why Bach to fizzle out. Hearing the ARIA again, we seem to have a different experience. Meanwhile, all over again, forever. Ultimately, the Goldberg Variations tells us there is something more powerful than death. "

"People want to hide behind the music"

Zhu Xiaomei: I Express through Bach's reverence for Chinese culture

14th, Zhu Xiaomei and Pui Chi school student interaction. Yi Zhu Xiaomei.

"My God! So many reporters, you let me talk nonsense. "In front of the Wangfujing Church played on 12th night, Zhu Xiaomei Media Group's visit was arranged. See a long table 9 journalists, Zhu Xiaomei cried.

Industry loves referred to her as "Peppa Pig", simple boy flower head, black pants, black shoes, black backpack, dark simple clothes, and even floating out of "Grandma's plaster", before the play, few will be the amiable old man next door 66 old ladies and top artists together.

Zhao Yue-Sheng introduction, Zhu Xiaomei musical considerations. That "female performer on stage, who are not topless, dazzling? But Xiao Mei, costumes are not only simple, even the color selected dark tone. She felt that players do not use external things interfere with the audience. In her words, ' people want to hide behind the music. ' "Zhu Xiaomei had always thought, the performer is not about, just a passing Angel of music. After you understand what she meant, Yue Zhao Sheng teases her: "will afford you this coat is stage combat camouflage. "Zhu Xiaomei said," this is what I mean. "

In fact, in the last year before returning, people do not know who is Zhu Xiaomei. Zhao Yue Sheng, Zhang Kexin and other music discovery and recommendation of the people came to know Zhu Xiaomei. Since Chinese audiences found the Frenchmen filmed documentary, a Chinese pianist and Bach, and Zhu Xiaomei's autobiography, rivers and its mysteries.

When a reporter asked whether she intended to autobiography translated into Chinese, she said there was no need. "I'm embarrassed to tell this poor story, because I think everyone is a story or listen to my music. "

In fact, the documentary one more Chinese pianist and Bach in China, named Dragon's France Director, told reporters that Zhu Xiaomei played very mobile, reminded him of Chinese calligraphy. In addition, in Chinese culture, and are the yin and Yang, black and white, and many contradictory things, finally, the meeting point, in Western cultures, black is black, white is white, will not will not sink to a point. Zhu Xiaomei will put a lot of things in play. In the culture of the highest level above, associated with Bach and I was able to.

"Dialogue"

Play like drug and alcohol abuse, was trying to quit but put it down to

Reporter: in your life, what is the most difficult period, when you do a kind of choice?

Zhu Xiaomei: I think all of my choices are difficult, and are faced with tough choices every day, such as what to eat to not go out to the streets.

Reporter: in your career, what is the most difficult time?

Zhu Xiaomei: not again, this is how many years was always wanted to continue to play, or not to play.

Reporter: do you have any idea?

Zhu Xiaomei: well, every day. Because I feel like I am not good.

After I recorded the sound everytime, never listened to, because after I listened to, afraid of finding here is not good, there is bad, so I then recorded the sikalati when, after finishing, I told the record company says, no, no issue. They were nasty with me, against my will. I cried, and two years later, in the car, have a friend and he put me in this recording, he says what do you think of the play? I say you can.

Interviewer: did recognize you yet?

Zhu Xiaomei: no, no. He laughed, he says is that you play.

Interviewer: so to you, bomb or not bomb, encountered was by far the most difficult decision. You: what are the reasons?

Zhu Xiaomei: bomb causes like drug and alcohol abuse, put it down, drug addicts who are trying to quit smoking and drinking, but they cannot be independent.

Reporter: do you have a favorite "drugs"? GAO Hongbo to talk about visiting the Dutch coaching

Zhu Xiaomei: Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach is my drug.

Reporter: I think you're playing Bach on the one hand, while also playing yourself, you try to find your landscape or by Bach Lao Tzu?

Zhu Xiaomei: Yes, the feeling of flow, kind of tap gurgling but very fresh, very clean, very pure. I think that if I was through playing Bach on China's culture, like I'm dead, I feel death's rum.

Bach is very rich. If we talk to four people who can't tell who is who, but his four-voice, is harmonious, can understand.

The four voices make up for each other, talk to each other, questions and answers. Just as in four personality is not the same as the people together.

Reporter: what do you think of Bach's musical relationship with religion?

Zhu Xiaomei: his church music, but he transcends religious music, Bach was writing music for the Church, but he has a humane thing. His Goldberg Variations of most abundant is the most secular humanistic works. His passion, like us, are people's emotions, so we cannot say that he is religious music.

"I don't like to teach"

Reporter: you taught at the Paris Conservatory before was a sense of what and how to teach students, there are some very interesting things did not happen?

Zhu Xiaomei: I don't love teaching. I still like playing the piano, is not the same as you teach and play.

Reporter: why the difference?

Zhu Xiaomei: because you have listened to the student playing you will turnoff. You will not want to play.

Reporter: good immediate reason.

Zhu Xiaomei: so glad I have now retired.

Reporter: so you do not recognize "teachers" that argument?

Zhu Xiaomei: I want to teach when I don't play the piano. Because I have the time I went to teach a student to play, and I will show the next day, and an hour later on is not smooth when I played the next day. He didn't follow me, follow me, but I have all the things he learned.

For me, teaching me to play a little conflict, so I can't play, I'll engage in education.

I'm very confident young Chinese, I will find a bosom friend

Reporter: do you live in Paris Paris the city for so many years you think affects your artistic creations?

Zhu Xiaomei: in the United States when playing the piano very crazy, the whole lot, many faces, but immersed down to Paris later. Paris paintings, music, fashion and the beauty of the city, which will translate to your spirit. You probably can't imagine all always lined up at the entrance of the Museum in Paris, which will potentially affect your.

Reporter: you back playing and in the United States, and France played with what kind of change?

Zhu Xiaomei: Paris art scene under the influence, you will know what you want, what you don't like, something tacky, something noble. Not get a teacher to learn can learn, in fact, the teacher subsequently has no effect, you are listening to, and then your interest grow.

Reporter: you said that even if swimming to swim out before, but now it says no something Chinese in a foreign country cannot survive. Why are these changes?

Zhu Xiaomei: this is no contradiction at all. Why did you want to go? Because there are no books, you can't imagine. Bookstore only Mao Zedong's selected works – were all sorts of versions. No albums, no score, then I think it is impossible to live in this kind of environment. 30 years old when I left, the best reading time has passed. I think that people of our generation's greatest suffering is no opportunity to study, many people of different generations and now I also didn't go to University, but they are very smart. So I wanted to fight for our generation.

Reporter: you said no Chinese at ease in a foreign country?

Zhu Xiaomei: because we are Chinese, Chinese culture is that no one can be compared, Chinese sensitive to Chinese modesty, for me is the most beautiful virtues. Return to the heart is growing.

I think I would find friends in youth, because young people like white, easily draw good color, beautiful color.

Reporter: is there plans for performances in China?

Zhu Xiaomei: yesterday show in Xian, three people came from Inner Mongolia, I was so moved. I looked at three bumpkin, dusty, don't know how how long did it take, they say we neimenglai hear you play, I thought this should go. Beijing and Shanghai every year people with master, I want to go to places where no master to play.

The West show, a good friend of mine warned me, he said you have to be prepared, you play when they left, who listen to Bach. In fact, not only did not go alone, without a voice. Of course, this is the power of Bach, there is, we are all Chinese is easier to understand the emotions. Chinese philosophy is in your blood, you couldn't help but will flow out of your music come out.
