Musician Thanh Tung is still here somewhere

When the stage showed a video taken in 1993, musician Thanh Tung sat at the piano and sang "Lôi cũ ta về", time seemed to stand still. He had been gone for eight years, but it felt like he was still here.

Ho Guom Theater was packed on the nights of January 11 and 12. Thanh Tung Legacy Of Love live concert was a classical crossover, combining the Sun Symphony Orchestra with more than 70 artists and modern sounds from the electronic band Son Thach band.

This is the first time the musician's most iconic compositions have been performed in this format, reminding the audience of another aspect of Thanh Tung's legacy.

That was the period when he took on the role of conductor and composer of the Voice of Vietnam Orchestra and Ho Chi Minh City Television.

Nguyen Ngoc Anh has a thin, sexy voice but it seems not to be "compatible" with the combination of classical and electronic music which requires a thicker voice.

Lan Nha and Nguyen Ngoc Anh perform The Old Way We Return

Opening with Dewdrops on the Eyelids , the song lacks the original vitality. Ngoc Anh also collaborated with Lan Nha on the song " The Old Way We Return" and soloed with the orchestra on the song "Lonely Star" .

The most anticipated singer is probably Thanh Lam. Many people had to breathe a sigh of relief because the artist showed off less technique and "burned" moderately but full of nostalgia, accurately expressing the music of the late musician.

Less fresh than 30 years ago, Thanh Lam is now truly romantic and experimental with You and I, Purple Flowers Outside the Yard, and Drops of Sunshine by the Threshold . It's just a pity that Lam sings too little, it's still not pleasing to the ears.

Lan Nha is a true gentleman singing love songs, elegant and luxurious with Goodbye Summer, Words of the Rhododendron and Yellow Chrysanthemum . The best is Words of the Rhododendron , the singer sings with longing and emotion.

Thanh Tung Legacy Of Love features the Sun Symphony Orchestra with more than 70 artists and modern sounds from the electronic band Son Thach band.

We must praise musician Tran Manh Hung for his arrangement of the classical crossover atmosphere, which is both academic and yet close and easy to listen to.

The music night not only had "instruments" such as voices but also had ensemble performances of Borderless Love, the films Flipped Cards , Alone, Singing with the Little Cicada ... Luong Khanh Nhi solo piano Counting Leaves in the Yard , Quyen Thien Dac solo saxophone Trai tim khong duyen.

But the best is If I die, bury me with a guitar , perhaps not many times Thanh Tung's audience gets to hear this song performed.
