The Concert Review

Last August 12th, I listened to a concert in Guangzhou Xinghai Concert hall in Guangdong province in China. The concert was a classical Austrian folk ballad by Austria Wilton Children's Choir. The choir is one of my favorite children's choir and also one of the most traditional

children's choirs in Europe. Choir members range from 9 to 22. Their tones are so outstanding that they can convert among tenor, soprano, bass and contralto. They can also present a musical work in variety of forms, such as solo, duet, small musical drama and church sitcoms. The choir has not only had performances in Austria for many times, but also been invited to visited Belgium,

Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, the Czech republic and Japan. No matter where they perform, they leave the audience a very deep impression. Therefore, they are known as “the angel of Jesus". After listening to the concert, I was really moved. The children are angels sent to the world for the spread of music. All in all, I think they are worth of the name of “the Sounds of Nature”.

This was their first time to China. So the choir carefully selected the concert repertoire for the Chinese audience. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", Mozart's "Song for the Lord" and the wonderful passage of his opera "Magic Flute" and some Austrian folk songs such as "ah, a little Tirolean man!" were all in the list. In addition, two well-known Chinese songs "in Silver Moonlight" and "Farewell" were also presented tor the audience. While listening, I was amazed at the perfect performance of all the music works, especially its perfect timbre, harmony, stage performances, and its unique folk customs. All of these are melted into a sense of beauty. Their voice is pure and graceful with no social impurities. They can take well control of their breath to make a flowing and smooth sound which is quite expressive. At the same time, in the choir, every child has the ability of independent performance. They can not only sing, but also play a musical instrument, which is what I admire the most. The ethnic musical instrument which they play is full of local characteristics, such as "big trumpet in the Alps”, “hand (tube) organ”, “zither”, “Austrian national wooden flutes” and so on. I was really glad to listen to this concert and amazed at their melodious tweedle, and rich expressive force.

What I am most interested in is how they acquire today's achievements in the music. Personally, I think there should be several reasons as follows: first, they have the outstanding art director; second, they have the right music education philosophy. Perhaps in their mind, music is not used to practice, but to enjoy by means of "playing"; third, their living environment is filled with rich and deep artistic atmosphere. In Austria, there are a large number of famous musicians. Vienna, the capital of Austria, is also the music capital of the world. So music culture has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Music itself is closely connected with people’s life. It is more than just the “patents” of music workers, but become more of a mass culture. Their life therefore, is permeated with the beauty of music everywhere. Besides, the government's attention is also one key point. The Austrian government not only attaches great importance the education and popularization of music culture, but also actively put their own culture to the world. Last but not least, they make full use of their gene advantages and language habits, which can help form a best sound and singing sound.

The Wilton's chorus is endowed with the same style of their "music township" Tirol. Tirol has a rich history, a traditional culture, and beautiful natural scenery. It was also because of this that the children are endowed with the truest feelings. The world, therefore, can hear the sounds of nature, and see the purest natural stage performance.

 

第二篇：音乐会观后感

音乐会观后感

8月12号晚上有幸在广州星海音乐厅听了一场音乐会，奥地利经典与民谣——《奥地利威尔顿童声合唱团音乐会》，这个合唱团是我的最喜欢的童声合唱团，也是世界著名的合唱团，向往已久，当然不能错过，听完，果然让我感动，那些孩子就是上天派来传播世间最美的音乐的天使，形容成天籁之音一点都不为过。

蒂罗尔州长曾经这样说过：“作为蒂罗尔州长的我，很高兴在茵斯布鲁克有《威尔顿合唱团》的存在，它远近闻名，听过他们演唱后的观众都无不为之喜悦。特别受人尊敬的是《威尔顿合唱团》是在神圣的威尔顿教堂内用动听的歌声同上帝说话。”蒂罗尔是音乐之乡，大多数文化景点不仅具有丰富的历史和传统底蕴，并且在民族音乐多个层面中含有古老及现代音乐，自然风光也绝伦无比。《威尔顿合唱团》就含有这样的风格。他们以出色的演出及特有的音色被誉为蒂罗尔音乐大使。天籁之音，转换音色，自然的舞台表演是他们显著的特征。

整场音乐会的过程，都让我很感动，每一首作品的演绎都无不让我赞叹，现场都响起了热烈而激动的掌声，完美的音色，和声，舞台表演，配上特有民俗风情的音乐作品，每个作品都被演绎得淋漓尽致，简直就是美的化身。合唱团里每个孩子都有独立表演的能力，不仅会唱，还会乐器表演，这点是最让我佩服的。在他们的歌声里感受不到一点社会的杂质，纯净而优美，声音气息运用自由，音色圆润而通透，表现力极强……

他们今天的音乐成就，是怎么获得的，是我最感兴趣，我猜想应该有如下几个原因：1、好的艺术指导；2、正确的音乐教育理念，或许在他们看来，音乐不是用来练习的，是用来玩和享受的；3、生活的的环境氛围，奥地利有过太多的著名音乐家，维也纳是世界的音乐之都，音乐文化深入人心，已经跟他们的生活密不可分，音乐不是音乐工作者的专利，是一种普及的大众文化，生活中无处不洋溢着音乐的美。4、政府的重视，奥地利不仅重视文化教育和普及，而且特别注意把自己的优势文化推向世界。5、还有最重要的遗传基因。6、他们的语言习惯，他们的语言发声方法，就是最好的歌唱状态。

想想在我们中国，音乐在校园中也是成了一种快餐文化，比如要参加一个合唱比赛了，才赶紧组团，进行简单的发生练习后直接进入作品排练，在队员中的水平掺差不齐，包括演唱能力和音乐素养，没有比赛，音乐就是一个闲置的课程，可能有好作品吗？作为一名普通的音乐的老师，这么好的教育资源被浪费，实在惋惜和难受，音乐是最能美化和提高人的素养的一门艺术，而且入门容易。市场经济的环境下，好的能沉淀下来的音乐作品是越来越少了，音乐逐渐只成了音乐家门获取经济利益的手段了，真的是一种耻辱和罪过。可能我这样的想法比较偏激，但我真的没有看到什么音乐教育的希望，音乐只成了城里孩子的专利，特别是在农村，这里的孩子很淳朴，更加需要音乐的滋润，音乐可以让他们更健康快乐地成长。这种现状何时能改善？！

天籁之音，让我沉醉！期待我们的国家能音乐之声遍地流淌！
