From you at the same table to you at the same stage, such a magical and romantic scene happened to the conductor and violinist Gang.
Although I entered the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra as a guest conductor a long time ago, it is the first time to solo with the same stage.
165438+1October 12 At the Shanghai Symphony Concert Hall, Barber's violin concerto realized their long-cherished wish, and this is the first time to perform this famous song as a soloist. In the evening, Chen Qigang's erhu concerto "Gone Time" was also played by erhu player Lu, and a bowstring dialogue was completed with Barber's violin concerto.
"Usually everyone is busy and has not encountered suitable cooperation opportunities." Yu Long was impressed. The two performed all over the world and went for a long time. Finally, they returned to their hometown of Shanghai and completed the music contract that spanned half a century.
"He said, let's take our time. I feel very comfortable as soon as I listen. " The outline describes the feelings during rehearsal. Yu Long consciously has a bad temper, especially during rehearsal, but he is very happy and enjoys it. "Feelings are definitely there, but feelings are still based on occupation."
Long Yuhe just rehearsed Barber's violin concerto.
And just played Barber's violin concerto on the same stage.
A deep friendship from the age of three.
"We are like a family. When I was young, Gang's brother (Li Honggang) always took us to play. They practiced the piano well, so they became performers. I can't practice the piano well, so I have to be a conductor. " Yu said.
Just born into a musical family, my grandfather Chen is a violinist and my mother Chen Huier is also a violinist. He worked in Shanghai Symphony Orchestra from 1957 to 1992. After retirement, he often bought tickets to attend the concerts he handed in.
Yu Long also has music genes in his bones. His grandfather, Ding Shande, is a composer, pianist and vice president of the Music Research Institute. He grew up at his grandfather's knees.
Long Yu and Gang are the same age. At the age of 3, I began to live in a family building in hengshan road, one on the first floor and the other on the second floor, playing with small mud. Later, they also studied in Yongjia Xincun Primary School and No.2 Middle School, and were classmates and deskmates when they were in high school.
1978, 14-year-old just admitted to the High School Attached to Shangle College, and specially accompanied his brothers to changfeng park to celebrate. At that time, going to changfeng park was a "luxury", almost once a year, and only big activities such as spring outing would go.
I have just been a "child of others' family" since I was a child. I always practice the piano obediently, and the degree of naughty is very limited. Yu Long is different. Outside school, he climbs walls and trees, catches crickets and studies. Inside the school, he is also an activist. People often publish blackboard newspapers and perform plays. "Since the childhood is not quiet, doing nothing. Wei Gang practices the piano very seriously. I insist on not being beaten by me. "
When they were in college, they all attended the Conservatory of Music. One learns the violin, the other learns the conductor.
1983, just formed the Shanghai Quartet with his brother and two other friends who studied music, and won the second place in the Portsmouth Quartet Competition in England two years later. Not only was it on the cover of music, but it was also awarded a medal and became famous in one fell swoop.
Gangs became famous much earlier than Yu Long, but Yu Long didn't feel the pressure. "When everyone is about the same, people are stronger than you, and you will have pressure, but when people are much stronger than you, you won't feel any pressure at all. The sky is falling and there is a high top. "
1987, Yu Long went to the Higher Art University in Berlin, Germany, and at this time, the program also entered the Juilliard Institute in the United States for further study. Since then, they have lived far apart and haven't seen each other for eight years.
Just remember, the day of reunion was 1994. He lives in the home of new york cellist Wang Jian. At 6 o'clock in the evening, he got a call from the violinist Vera Tsu, asking him to guess who came. "Originally Long Yu here! I am going to sleep, get up immediately and take a taxi to his hotel. "

Appreciate each other for more than fifty years.
1998, when he heard that Yu Long initiated a music festival, he was surprised. "At my age, how can he have so much energy?" This can't be done with a few sweet words. I certainly don't have the talent. "Twenty-three years later, the Music Festival has become the most prestigious music festival in China.
In 2009, Yu Long became the music director of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. In the same year, he made a special trip to new york to find the Shanghai Quartet and hired them as the guest chief of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. In Yu Long's view, the symphony orchestra is a larger chamber orchestra, and he hopes that the Shanghai Quartet can further promote the specialization of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
Long Yuhe just accepted an interview with a reporter.
As a visiting principal, sitting in the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra where I grew up, I feel very cordial. "It seems that my mother is sitting next to me."
"He is a man who wants to do things." In recent years, I have just witnessed the realization of old friends' ambitions one by one, and many times they have done better than expected. "Without him, China's classical music industry wouldn't be like this. Musicians in China and audiences who like music should thank him. "
"He always said he wanted to retire, I think that means. My wife always says that I have never seen anyone as busy as you. I said, Wow, Yu Long, I'm so busy. " Just teasing an old friend, I only slept for three or four hours every day, and I was still full of energy the next day. Energetic is also a gift. "He is very smart and pays great attention to details. He is a typical cancer and an excellent manager. Moreover, he has to go on stage to conduct, and there are many tracks. People have to learn it 50 times. He may remember 10 times and his brain is very good. "
I turned 57 just now and this year. Now, Yu Long's attention has gradually turned to the training of the younger generation of musicians in China. Class, although still fighting in the performance line, the state is also very good, but education accounts for half of his work focus, even more and more heavy, and the idea of training the next generation of musicians for China is getting stronger and stronger.
When asked about the mission of their generation, Yu Long blurted out that China's music should be introduced to the world. "You have to have good works, good technology and infectious performances, so that your culture can be convincingly conveyed to others. In this regard, our generation, including composer Chen Qigang, has done a lot of work and done a good job. "
Another point is that it is passed down from generation to generation. Seeing that the younger generation is growing up, "we are definitely not the end, just handing over the baton, just adding a little speed and advancing seconds when running." The real champion should be behind. " Yu Long was very happy. He saw hope in the post-90s erhu player Lu and others.
