He has won many awards in major vocal competitions at home and abroad; Especially in 1996- 1997, it won the first place in the 4 1 Toulouse International Vocal Competition, Domingo World Opera Competition and Queen Song Ya International Vocal Competition of Norway for three times in a year. Norwegian Queen Sonia once said excitedly: "Liao Changyong is the greatest singer among all the contestants, and I have designated today as China Day." . His outstanding talent was highly praised by Domingo, one of the three tenors in the world.

He has traveled all over the world, with more than a dozen world-famous symphony orchestras, including Domingo, carreras and Lucian. Svencen and many other opera masters have successfully performed more than a dozen operas and concerts.

Since 2000, he has been the director and professor of the vocal music department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

He has the reputation of "the first baritone in Asia" and won the first place in the world famous vocal competition three times in one year, which shocked the world music scene. In the field of Chinese classical music, it is difficult to find an artist who can be praised and described with top words. Liao Changyong is one of the few artists who can convince the public. The words to describe him are suffocating to ordinary people, but Liao Changyong can afford it, because he is really outstanding, and his achievements in the world music scene are worthy of the word outstanding.

Easy-going, he is not conceited. He never shows off his achievements too much, especially his teacher-student relationship with Domingo. If he did that, his reputation in the eyes of the public in China would be even higher. But I often hear people in the industry talk about how he changed from a farmer in rural Sichuan to a dazzling star on a par with world masters. Almost everyone says that Liao Changyong people are particularly good. A modest good man, a new star in Ran Ran. Both sides are Liao Changyong. Just because he doesn't show off doesn't mean he's not wonderful.

He is one of the few outstanding Asian singers who are currently active on the world opera stage. He has the reputation of "the first baritone in Asia". He is one of the "three tenors in the world" and the most admired disciple of the famous opera master Domingo. He won the first place in three world-famous vocal competitions in one year, which shocked the world music scene, including the Domingo World Opera Competition, which is considered to be the most difficult and Asians have never reached the final. He was praised by Washington post and The New York Times as "this talented artist will become a treasure of the world music scene" and "this is the most beautiful baritone we have heard in recent years". He is Liao Changyong, a young baritone singer in China, and Liao Changyong, head of the vocal music department of Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

In the field of Chinese classical music, it is difficult to find an artist who can be praised and described with top words. Liao Changyong is one of the few artists who can convince the public. The words to describe him are suffocating to ordinary people, but Liao Changyong can afford it, because he is really outstanding, and his achievements in the world music scene are worthy of the word outstanding.

I don't know how much ordinary people know about Liao Changyong's name, his voice and his world reputation. I only know that he is easy-going and not arrogant. He never shows off his achievements too much, especially his teacher-student relationship with Domingo. If he does that, his reputation in the eyes of the public in China will definitely be higher. But I often hear people in the industry talk about Liao Changyong, his good singing and acting skills, and how he changed from a farmer in rural Sichuan to a dazzling star on a par with world masters. Almost everyone says that Liao Changyong people are particularly good. A modest good man, a new star in Ran Ran. Both sides are Liao Changyong. Just because he doesn't show off doesn't mean he's not wonderful. Do artists have to be cranky?

A colleague of mine who interviewed Liao Changyong was puzzled. She said that as long as Liao Changyong stood on the stage and sang with his mouth open, it would be absolutely wonderful, but off stage, he was so beautiful, especially modest, and it was-so normal. She means, who among the famous artists we know has no temper, personality and neuroticism? As we all know, Pavarotti must find a nail on the stage before he takes the stage. Carreras avoids the media and never allows others to enter his dressing room. And catherine battle, who sang the theme song for Zhang Yimou's new film House of Flying Daggers. Her self-willed and dumbfounding tidbits at the Beijing Music Festival were once talked about by people. These are all regarded as anecdotes of artists, and people are used to using them as symbols of artists. It seems that the more famous an artist is, the more distinctive his temperament should be. Even wonder, is it related to the extraordinary artistic creativity of artists?

"But, Liao Changyong is too normal, more than normal, this is amazing! How can a good man be an artist? " She said. Of course, good people can also be artists. She is just surprised that artists always pay attention to sensibility and often indulge their emotions. Liao Changyong is so "normal". Where did his unconventional artistic expression and artistic passion come from?

When I conveyed her doubts to Liao Changyong, Liao Changyong smiled: "Artists are human beings, and they are famous. When people see their strange temper, they feel obvious. In fact, I have seen many artists and they are all very good. " He even thinks that as an artist, there is no need to lose his temper just because people like you.

He said, "I don't think those great artists have a strange temper either. Carreras avoided the media because of illness. The singer is a little neurotic and doesn't want to be disturbed before the performance. Can't say this is a strange virtue. Everyone is nervous before going on stage, just like Pavarotti looking for a nail, looking for a psychological support and a way to vent his nervousness. My nervous performance is not talking. If I want to vent, I will vent on the stage. " The family are surprised. Liao Changyong, who is more introverted in life, will look like a different kind of passion on the stage, sometimes scaring people.

"Good guy" Liao Changyong said, "I am a person who is easily oppressed and suffocated, so there must always be an exit, right? My emotional outlet is on the stage. " In life, he is a very disciplined person. He said, "No matter what happens, you must have rules first, form habits first, and then do other things." I asked him that artistic imagination is unrestrained. If you are too self-disciplined, will it affect your creativity? He said, "If you set out like a runaway wild horse and collect it, I'm afraid you can't get it back. Because music itself is created in a norm, you can't put those things down for the so-called creativity. "

It doesn't sound special to put yourself in a certain norm first and then release your creativity at will, but this is the first time I have heard an artist say this about the relationship between art and passion. Is the key to Liao Changyong's success: "My teacher Zhou Xiaoyan once said, I want to sum up the learning experience for everyone. I said I had nothing to sum up, only' obedient'. What the teacher asked me to do, I really did it according to that requirement. " In fact, Liao Changyong can play a role completely different from his personality and win him a reputation on the opera stage. Isn't it because of norms? He will ponder every movement, look and turn in line with the character's personality, and make the movement conform to the psychological rhythm and musical rhythm of the character. That is a kind of norm and a kind of creation. The key is to be really careful.

However, if we just tell the story that an obedient and good student can succeed, we can stop here. Liao Changyong is not such a simple artist.

The story that he walked barefoot into the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and finally became famous internationally is most talked about by people.

Liao Changyong said that being good to oneself is related to the happiness and satisfaction of the family and also to one's own experience. He said: "I was not born in a musical family, but I am a farmer, which made me feel inferior for a long time, and I still have inferiority complex." One should have an inferiority complex. If he is always on top, he gets impatient easily. I went to Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and my music and family conditions are incomparable. It's very modest to ask others' opinions in everything. I have been in this state for a long time. This will make up for my shortcomings. Indeed, everyone has something better than me, including my current students. "

Liao Changyong was born in an ordinary peasant family in Pixian County, Sichuan Province. The story that he entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music barefoot and eventually became famous internationally is the most talked about. From farmers to world-class singers, many people think that the distance between them is incredible, so they are amazed again and again. But in my opinion, there is no direct relationship between talent and birth environment. The lack of certain knowledge and innate conditions can be changed through personal efforts. What is insurmountable is the secular vision of those who think they are superior.

Liao Changyong was born as a farmer and lost his father at an early age. Without much formal music education, he dared to enter the Conservatory of Music. He was admitted to Shanghai Conservatory of Music because of his outstanding timbre. Marching into Shanghai from rural Sichuan is both an honor and a test. After Liao Changyong entered school, he felt humiliated in the first year, because he was poor, a farmer, not a musical family, and had a poor musical foundation.

At that time, most of the students who were able to enter the Conservatory of Music had some backgrounds at home, and many of them came from musical families. In that place where respect and inferiority are clearly defined, students are always comparing with each other. Liao Changyong never plays and eats with his classmates. He said, "If people invite you to dinner, you have to return the invitation. I don't have enough to eat myself. How can I invite them to dinner? " . This way, if I play with my classmates, I will feel weak and stressed. "

At that time, Liao Changyong only received 60 yuan's living expenses in turn from his three sisters every month. Every time he goes to the canteen, he is almost the last one to go, only buying meat for the exam.

Poor, laughed at, afraid to play with classmates, Liao Changyong has no friends and is alone. People say that this person is withdrawn and unsociable. Even some teachers don't like him because of this. However, that's all. Someone lost his money, so Liao Changyong stole it, because he was the poorest.

In the face of such insults, introverted Liao Changyong was fed up. After being annoyed for a long time, he couldn't help it: "You said I can do anything, but I can't insult my personality!" " At that time, the department did not investigate and understand, so it was not handled properly. Liao Changyong is hard to argue, and no one complains. He finally couldn't stand it. He went to his teacher Luo Wei with red eyes. Teacher Luo Wei firmly believes that Liao Changyong didn't steal anything.

Many years later, Liao Changyong, who laughed about the past, said to me, "If that man hadn't stolen from the teacher in the department and been caught out again, I'm afraid I would have to take the blame all the time." Since he is the dean of the college, he will never easily draw conclusions about the problems among the students.

"This is related to my later enthusiasm." He said, "Didn't you say I was poor? The children of poor families are more promising than you, and I learned it with this strength. " When she first entered school, Liao Changyong couldn't even play the piano, and her music foundation was almost the worst in her class. But when he graduated, he was the first in his class. His efforts and achievements made everyone sit up and take notice of him.

Fortunately, he met a good teacher, except Mr. Luo Wei who took him in the first grade. In the second grade, he was accepted as a disciple by Professor Zhou Xiaoyan, who is known as the "mother of China's vocal music", and trained a large number of outstanding singers. Teachers not only teach well, but also have good artistic ethics. "Give me a good personality imperceptibly." He said. In college, he also gained love. At that time, there was always an unknown person who quietly sent him money. 50 yuan was anonymous for one month, but every time he wrote, "Buy more food." It was not until he fell in love that he knew that it was his girlfriend's silent concern. Today, Liao Changyong and this girl from a musical family form a happy family. Liao Changyong said that his family gave him great support and motivation, and his wife was the kind of person who pushed him forward with a whip, so he couldn't relax.

It's amazing to learn to speak English in a month.

Liao Changyong completed his undergraduate and postgraduate studies with excellent results, and gradually, he won prizes in various vocal competitions. From 65438 to 0996, he went to France to participate in the 4th1Toulouse International Vocal Competition and won the first prize in one fell swoop. This is also the best result of China players in the past ten years. Alan Longeron, the classical manager of the world-famous EMI record company, commented: "His singing is so touching because it comes from the heart. For 25 years, I have watched every game and have never heard a baritone like him. "

Winning the prize has brought a lot of honor to Liao Changyong, and made many people stop looking at him with disdain. Before that, he had won many first prizes, and many people thought he had reached the top. However, the next year, Liao Changyong decided to participate in the world-famous Domingo World Opera Competition, which was immediately opposed by many people, because it was too difficult to win prizes in this competition, and no Asian had ever made a breakthrough in the competition. Many people advised him that the first prize in that year was enough for him to lie on it and eat for a lifetime. The first prize in this competition is the most difficult one in the world. If he doesn't get it, he will erase all the first prizes he won in the past. Liao Changyong said, "It's not that I don't know the mentality that China people always win, but I didn't think so much, so I thought I'd take a look. You know, in the eyes of opera learners, Domingo is a god-like figure! "

He won the first prize, which is rare for Asians. The competition caused a sensation. Domingo was particularly excited, calling him the biggest discovery and surprise of this competition and praising him as "the best baritone I have ever seen". The master immediately accepted him as an apprentice and invited him to attend his New Year concert in Tokyo.

In the same year, Liao Changyong won the first place in the Norwegian Queen Song Ya International Vocal Competition, which set an impressive record of winning the first place in the international famous vocal competition three times in one year. Therefore, it caused a sensation in the international music scene and stepped onto the international music scene step by step.

Liao Changyong, who gradually stepped onto the international stage, began to find the problem of language communication. He said that he didn't have great ambitions before, he didn't expect to enter the international music scene, and he didn't learn English well. From 65438 to 0999, when he went to new york for short-term study, he could not communicate with others and could not move. Domingo, the teacher, also regretted not being able to communicate with him directly.

After returning from new york, Liao Changyong made up his mind, so he took advantage of the opportunity to take a master class in Israel from June 5438 to 10, 2000. He took an English book, read six lessons every day and recited more than 60 words. He immediately went out to talk to someone and told them what he had just seen. He said, "I won't forget the words I used in the conversation next time." In this way, in the past month, he was completely able to communicate with people in English. That speed is amazing. When he came to the United States again, he began to talk to people. Everyone's first reaction was to take a breath: "Ah? How can you talk to me? " The landlord's son even pestered and asked, "Is there any way for me to learn Chinese in such a short time?"

Liao Changyong said with a smile: "I am full of stubbornness, and I will be able to do it with all my strength." He said that just like when he was studying in Sichuan, he was not good at math since he was a child, and he thought he had no talent for math. When I was in high school, the head teacher complained to his sister that he really couldn't lift math. My sister came back and said that she wouldn't ask the teacher. Liao Changyong said he was in a hurry and asked the teacher what he couldn't do and what he could do. As a result, after one semester, his math score was the first in the class, and after one year, he was the first in the whole grade. He lamented: "People have great potential."

Liao Changyong often attributed his achievements to his stubbornness and obedience. However, his excellent grades are not achieved by every stubborn and obedient student. For example, how many people can communicate with others in English in just one month after going to college? In fact, all the teachers in Liao Changyong spoke highly of him. Teacher Luo Wei once said that he "has an incredible ability to understand and master the language." Teacher Zhou Xiaoyan also called him. "The conditions in Liao Changyong are rare in the world at present, and it will succeed sooner or later." He has excellent musical talent and language ability, and can answer carefully according to the teacher's requirements after class.

He really knows how to read Italian lyrics word for word and find a sense of language. Before he goes to every country, he will visit other people's museums to see the etiquette and culture of the westerners in the paintings. Can win the "first prize of French singing" in the "Paris International Vocal Music Competition" held in France. His singing skills and pure sense of language made everyone praise him. In fact, he can be praised far more than that.

There is no reason to show off that you are Domingo's student.

Liao Changyong believes that his success on the international stage cannot be separated from Domingo's appreciation and support.

Since he was accepted as a disciple by Domingo, Domingo not only took him to his own concert, but also rushed to new york from Washington to watch his rehearsal and attend his concert when he went to the United States. Liao Changyong said that Domingo treated him beyond the teacher-student relationship. When the master introduced him to the world-famous metropolitan opera, he greeted people everywhere and said that Liao Changyong was very talented. Please treat him well.

200 1, Domingo directed the Washington Opera House to perform Verdi's The Bard, urging Liao Changyong to play the leading role. At that time, no one believed that an actor from China could sing Verdi's opera well, and everyone thought that Liao Changyong was not suitable.

Teacher Zhou Xiaoyan also encouraged Liao Changyong at home: "You must start this shot. If it rings, you will be on the international stage. If you are dumb, you will be dumb from now on. "

Liao Changyong felt a lot of pressure. At school, an American teacher once said that he couldn't sing Verdi opera at all, making him swear never to sing again. At that time, the singer who sang the same role in Group A was Domingo's good friend. Domingo specifically told him to take good care of Liao Changyong, saying that Liao was very promising, and the master really helped him a lot in rehearsal. After watching the rehearsal, Domingo told Liao Changyong's wife his opinion and asked her to go back and help Liao improve.

As a result, the performance became an instant hit, and Washington post, who was critical, even wrote an article praising Liao Changyong: "In this place where the world's outstanding singers gather, the most dazzling star is Liao Changyong from China. His accurate grasp of Verdi's opera makes him like a born Verdi opera singer, smelling of Verdi all over. His solid, beautiful, rich and mellow timbre and sound quality, fluent breath and unparalleled artistic appeal make the Kennedy Center crazy again. We firmly believe that this talented artist will become a treasure in the music industry. " In that performance, Liao Changyong won a good honor for herself and her teacher.

Later, in The Story of Hoffman directed by Mrs Domingo, Liao Changyong was invited to play again. Domingo came from Washington to tell Liao Changyong how to perform, which made him very moved. The performance was still a great success.

Liao Changyong said that in others' eyes, Domingo is like a god. He is also the artistic director of two famous opera houses and the conductor of metropolitan opera. He was very moved and grateful for the help of such a busy man. In addition to career help, Domingo's attitude towards life also had a deep influence on him.

He said Domingo was a master. People always think that he is ostentatious. Of course, the master is actually very modest. He said that when they rehearsed in the United States, they used the limousine Lincoln to pick up the protagonist every day. One day, I changed my bread because I had to pick up more people. When the car drove to the famous Watergate Hotel, a man stood in the street and waited. As soon as the car stopped, he came up. Domingo. Come up and make out with everyone. To the rehearsal field, to Liao Changyong's surprise, every chorus member Domingo can call out his name. Seeing that everyone seemed to have met an old friend, he greeted him kindly. That scene had a great influence on Liao Changyong. At home, I'm afraid the singer who hasn't made any outstanding achievements has long been black and blue, but this world-famous master is so kind and modest! His worship of the master was immediately magnified to 100 times: this is the real artist.

Later, Liao Changyong asked the master why he could do this. The master's answer also moved him: "Because they love me."

However, despite having such a deep friendship with the master, Liao Changyong has been talking about the love between teachers and students in a low-key way, and has never used it as a hype. He won't take the initiative to mention it unless the reporter asks. He said, "A master is a master, and it has nothing to do with you. If you mention him, you are not a master. It's pointless for me to show off this relationship, and I don't like it very much. As Beijingers say,' Pull a dragon chair and you will go to heaven'. If you really regard yourself as his student, you can't embarrass the teacher. Well done, just talk about it. If not, don't defile the teacher's reputation. "

He said, "I say more that I am a student of Mr. Zhou Xiaoyan, because 90% of my study comes from Mr. Zhou. This is more practical. She not only taught me, but also influenced my attitude towards art. "He finally told me:" Teacher Zhou said that being a man is to be an art, and art is just like a human being. If it is not a good person, how can art be good? "

Yes, a good artist must be a good person first. I believe.

"I don't think those great artists have strange temper. Carreras is afraid of the media because of his illness. The singer is a little neurotic and doesn't want to be disturbed before the performance. Can't say this is a strange virtue. Everyone is nervous before going on stage, just like Pavarotti looking for a nail, looking for a psychological support and a way to vent his nervousness. My nervous performance is not talking. If I want to vent, I will vent on the stage. " -Liao Changyong
