He is not within the Chinese music scene, but formulates the rules of national music education aesthetics above the Chinese music scene.
Liao Changyong, this name is difficult to hear in popular music. But it is often heard in the national music system. The reason is very simple, because Liao Changyong is the dean of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Many people may not understand what the president of Shanghai Conservatory of Music represents.
China’s national art strategy has made provisions in the field of music and art: allowing 1% of children in China to receive music education, and thereby establishing 11 university-style independent music schools and 36 affiliated schools. The university's music school. The eleven independent university-style conservatories are dedicated to providing the best national music talents for the entire Chinese literature and art, which is the national foundation of Chinese music. The Shanghai Conservatory of Music is one of these eleven independent university-style music conservatories, and it ranks high. Second only to the Central Conservatory of Music, because the predecessor of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music was the East China Branch of the Central Conservatory of Music.
In other words, Liao Changyong’s status in the Chinese music industry is that of Tianzihao’s second-in-command, second only to the dean of the Central Conservatory of Music. In terms of reputation, the current dean of the Central Conservatory of Music is far inferior to Liao Changyong.
Therefore, Liao Changyong does not represent himself, but represents the entire trend of Chinese music. In recent years, Liao Changyong and Tan Jing have begun to enter the entertainment and music circles. This is not something that comes out of nowhere. Rather, it is an important step for the country to cultivate musical literacy among the people. Previously, cultural and entertainment projects were monopolized by entertainment media companies. Almost all young people don't know that pop music is just the lowest aesthetic group in the music industry, while nationality and bel canto are the hard power of a country's music culture.
If you want to ask Liao Changyong what level he is in the Chinese orchestra, you can just say he is not at all, because he is not a component of the Chinese orchestra at all. The system of nationality and bel canto fundamentally belongs to the national art field, not the commercial field. Because whether ethnic and bel canto singers can make money and how much money they want to make are all determined by the state. Because fundamentally speaking, whether they are Tan Jing or Liao Changyong, as long as they have an official position in the country, they are all representatives of Chinese music.
Let me briefly introduce why Liao Changyong can be regarded as the dean of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music:
1: Best French Award at the "Paris International Vocal Competition" in France. This is the first time a baritone has received an international award.
2: Gold Medal in the "41st Toulouse International Vocal Competition". This is the award that established Liao Changyong's status as a national first-class actor. He is also a Chinese baritone bel canto singer and has won one of the most valuable awards.
3: "Domingo World Opera Singing Competition" and won first place; the first time a Chinese singer won the grand prize in an opera competition.
4: Queen Sonja International Vocal Competition, first prize.
3: Successfully held a solo concert at the Vienna Golden Hall; entered the world class and became a strategic figure in national music and art.
Just remember that all figures related to China’s top education are the backbone of our nation’s standing on the international market stage. Liao Changyong is such a person. Strictly speaking, Liao Changyong is more valuable than Tan Jing, but one is a baritone and the other is a soprano. Due to the live level, many people who know Tan Jing do not know Liao Changyong.
When I first learned vocal music, I felt that Liao Changyong was not very good.
After studying for a period of time, I became more and more aware that Liao Changyong was extremely powerful, talented and unfathomable.
Later, after studying for a while, I gradually felt that Liao Changyong was actually just that.
It's like two parallel lines. He is only a little ahead of others, but with his line first, others will know where their own line is going.
Liao Changyong is probably at this level. . . .
Maybe this is called, so scary.
