The two music nights of Phu Quang, Suddenly Appearing Pieces of Memories (December 7-8) at the Hanoi Opera House, named after the title of his memoir published in 2016, brought back his greatest memory of music .
Among them, the concerto Love of the Sea is perhaps the biggest shared memory between musician Phu Quang and the packed auditorium. They almost all spent their youth with his music, especially since this piece of music was broadcast regularly every week on the Voice of Vietnam Radio.
Singer Ha Tran has performed Phu Quang's music since she was a student.
Throughout the program, Phu Quang singers shared their memories of many years working with him. For singer Tan Minh, whose talent was discovered by the musician himself and who gave him songs in 1990, those were long, warm days when he was "the most beloved by musician Phu Quang", as his colleagues still call him.
For singer Ha Tran, the memory of musician Phu Quang is the first time performing with him when she was studying at the Hanoi Conservatory of Music; many times she could not fly back to the country to do shows with him, and this time she was able to perform his less popular songs...
Ha Tran confided about the song "Sadness" : "I had never heard this song before, until when I was practicing the program, my family showed me a video of singer Ho Ngoc Ha. Perhaps, this is one of the less popular songs of musician Phu Quang, but it has a beautiful, lovely melody. It reminds me of his song "Simple Things ". They both have a bright major key."
Singer Siu Black has both intensity and gentleness when singing Phu Quang's music.
Returning to the Hanoi Opera House after many years, singer Siu Black said she was also confused when she wanted to sing Phu Quang's music.
"The Nightingale of the Mountains" often thinks that she is not suited to the gentleness in his songs. He himself sometimes jokes that he is afraid that Siu Black singing Phu Quang's songs will sound like Nguyen Cuong or Pho Duc Phuong.
"But then, Quang said there was a song he thought I would sing if I wanted to sing it," Siu Black recalled. That sad rock song was also one of Siu Black's performances in Suddenly Appearing Pieces of Memories .
The love of the sea through the guitar of People's Artist Bui Cong Duy has the nuances of experience and sympathy between two men in a family.
But in the first performance, the most significant memory, also a family memory through music, was the piano and violin concert Love of the Sea performed by musician Phu Quang's daughter, artist Trinh Huong, and son-in-law Bui Cong Duy.
The work was originally written by musician Phu Quang for flute artist Hong Nhung. His wife. The audience, who were already familiar with the concerto Love of the Sea with its flute solos, now got to hear those same pieces of music through the deep violin of Bui Cong Duy.
These solos suggest the shared affection, love and trust between men in the same family.
Artists Trinh Huong and Bui Cong Duy thank those who love the music of musician Phu Quang.
"This is a very famous song associated with the names of Nhung's mother and Quang's father. This year, mother also followed father's footsteps. On this concert night, the song is played as a tribute to the love that parents have given us and we want to express it again with our own emotions, in a new way," artist Trinh Huong shared about Love of the Sea .
Different colors with the same Love of the Sea , the fresh melodies of many rarely introduced works, the many years of experience singing Phu Quang's music by the singers... All of these factors help musician Phu Quang's musical heritage have a beauty that is both familiar and romantic, very real and very close.
The balance of the repertoire between new voices, long-established voices, familiar songs, new songs that quickly became familiar made the show feel intimate and easy to share. Like a family relationship.
