That is the funny but also very true comment of musician Vu Quang Trung when talking about Giang Son's music, on the occasion of the musician organizing the live concert Sol Dream.
Luu Ha An revealed that many musicians will participate in arranging the music for Giang Son this time.
The live concert Sol's Dream will take place on the evening of February 15 (January 18) at the outdoor stage of Park City urban area in Hanoi, celebrating Giang Son's 40 years of musical activities.
The name of the concert was inspired by the song Giac Mo Nam (Midday Dream ) that the musician composed 20 years ago, and also "varied" from her own name - which is a Sol note in music.
The music night featured singers Thanh Lam, Tung Duong, Ha Tran, Khanh Linh, Ha Linh, Hoang Dung, Thuy Chi.
Christmas music in 2 octaves
Musician Vu Quang Trung, who participated in mixing and arranging Jazz Darkness - album of the year at the Devotion Music Awards nearly 10 years ago - commented that Giang Son's music has many wide notes, all 2 octaves.
Quang Trung said that at that time, Giang Son asked him to arrange some songs Thu Can, Nang Nuoc, Bong Toi Jazz ... for Ha Tran to sing.
While recording those songs, Ha Tran was in the studio but also "climbed to the roof" to sing because each song had 2 octaves, very high and difficult to sing.
Talking about Giang Son's music, Vu Quang Trung said that her music is very emotional and easily touches the hearts of listeners.
That kind of music is still very commercial but no less academic, that is the difficulty of the composer that not everyone can do.
Regarding this, Giang Son confided that she did not intend to challenge anyone. It was just because of her habit when composing, musicians often compose on the piano, so every song usually has 2 octaves.
That's why only singers with technique and inner strength can "keep up".
Sol's dream will "burn extremely loud"
How to harmonize all the personalities of those singers on stage, especially 2 divas (Thanh Lam, Ha Tran) and 1 divo (Tung Duong)?

Music director and musician Luu Ha An said that when he looked at the list of participating singers, he just thought he had a "soccer team full of superstars".
The problem is how to get everyone to sing their favorite song without "arguing".
"The live concert with Tung Duong was already on fire, with Ha Tran it was a big fire. With Thanh Lam added, it was an extremely big fire," he joked, "with this program, this group of artists, the bigger the fire, the warmer it is, when everyone returns, they will feel a winter that is not cold."
It is known that Luu Ha An and Giang Son spent 4-5 hours listening to all of Giang Son's songs, from which they selected more than 20 songs to include in this music catalog, including 2-3 completely new songs.
In that music library, there are many songs that surprised Luu Ha An when he heard them for the first time because Giang's music exuded personality and desire that he thought was more than a dream "because male musicians like us cannot write that much".
