Li YuGand is 40 yrs old and a treasure of the Traditional Chinese Opera specializes in Female Roles. This performance is the story of an Emperor -Dimash ,and Li Yugang who plays the role of his favorite Concubine, Dimash is having to force his love into committing suicide, and this is their last meeting... Classic story and you miss half of the performance when you don't understand the story!
So ! I'll help you on some points : first, the chairs is all about the original story. Drunken Concubine is a story about the concubine getting rejected by the emperor, so she gets drunk to help her despair. Sadly drunk, she goes to see the emperor and ask again for his love, the emperor angry sent her to death. If I am wrong,correct me. Dimash represents the emperor : the chair is golden , the wealth with the demonstration of luxury. However Li Yuang has a more simple chair with curves (curves symbolizing the woman's body) and the red , symbolizing honor in China but also blood. Next the costumes, Dimash has a everyday look because I see the emperor as having more freedom and being more natural than the concubine. Which needs to be well dressed in front of the emperor, so Li Yuang is so well dressed. Side Note : Li's shoes are very wide because Dimash is tall so to not show the gap between the heights. Last but not least vocal facts : despite not being usual for occidental ears this nasal voice is very commun is chinese opera and Li has a high voice because he does female roles in chinese opera. The vocal fry is here for Drama because it is the order to sent the concubine to death. First part was all of my intepretation based on the facts (you said) without the story. Sorry for my english , I'm french and writing this at 2AM.
Li's style compliments Dimash's well when you hear it the 3rd and 4th time around lol. The issue really is we listen with our western comprehension of things.
Ditto. Didn’t like it when I first heard it. I also think the combination isn’t meant to be harmonious the whole way through. Like the two voices don’t get along till the end
This is a very unique performance. Dimash is playing the male role, and Li is the female. It’s a very interesting story they are telling. Li is a very famous “ nan dan” performer in the Peking Opera. He plays female roles. You should watch some of his performances, he is amazing. I personally really liked this video. Thanks for another wonderful reaction. I’ll be waiting to see you on Friday.🎼🎶🎤❤️
I think that this is by far the best Dimash duet as Li is so different. They match beautifully in the Diva Dance end, fusion of the Eastern and Western world.
MATTHEW DEAR!......THANKS for your reactions to Dimash!!!!.....Li Yugang This perform is in Shanghai Spring Festival at China. This song is musical conversation between Emperor (Dimash at golden chair) and a Concubine (Li Yugang) Mr Li is a 41 years old and very famous Chinese traditional opera singer and He perform female parts. In this song Dimash crazy high note is F#7 ( Dolphin note)....and His low crazy note in this song is E1(growling). New range is E1 to D8. Amazing Harmonies. Dimash C#6 in the top end. Greetings from a Mexican Dear! 🇰🇿🇲🇽🇰🇿
¡Lupita, gracias por apoyar a Matt and Mocha y Boostd Reviews! Estamos muy contentos de que hayas asistido al estreno del video. Matt vive en Austin y yo, Greg, vivimos en Dallas ... ¡así que te enviamos amor desde Texas!
Спасибо, Мэтт. Ваши реакции это отдельный спектакль, за которым очень интересно наблюдать. Димаш, как всегда, трогает за самое сердце и поражает разум.
When Dimash sing with anybody, He always did it great, He sings so many song with other Chinese singer, and always done it so good, I enjoy this one as well, thanks.
Спасибо за активную реакцию. СПААААСИБО ОЧЕНЬ ОЧЕНЬ ИНТЕРЕСНО И ОЧЕНЬ ИНТЕРЕСНО ФЕНОМЕНАЛЬНО. СУПЕР ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ ГОЛОС ДИМАША ХОЧЕТСЯ СЛУШАТЬ И СЛУШАТЬ. ВАМ ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО ЗА АКТИВНОСТЬ. СПАСИБО ЗА АКТИВНУЮ РАБОТУ. ВЫ ОЧЕНЬ ТРУДОЛЮБИВЫЙ И ДОБРЫЙ МОЛОДОЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК.
@@asakarl70 he doesn't sound horrible, is a different style and we are not used to it. And if you love Dimash you should know how much he respects other artists, Li is not my favourite, but I wouldn't say, never, that he is horrible, and the emojis you have used for him are not nice, not at all.
Димаш крутой, а Мэтт нет, - не ставит субтитры, для тех кто не знает английский, поэтому не заслуживает от меня лайка, я хочу понимать что он говорит, а не догадыватся, это же возможно включить субтитры, но он это не делает, я не способна к языкам, это ответ тем, кто считает, что каждый может выучить иностранный.
а разница слышна, при всем том что Ли явно обладает потрясающими вокальными данными - голос Димаша отличается кристальной чистотой и резкостью, четкостью (лично у меня возникает ассоциация с алмазным стеклорезом или лазером). Google translation : but the difference is audible, despite the fact that Li clearly has amazing vocal abilities - Dimash’s voice is crystal clear and sharp, precise (I personally associate with a diamond glass cutter or a laser).
When you get a chance, this recently came out and I've been playing it on loop ever since. It's just... Oh man, I find it to be SO beautiful!!! Dimash on CCTV-1 "Classic Wings" - "Thousands Of Miles A Common Dream"
Not my favorite but I have to say Dimash can sing anything. His magnificent voice is so versatile & extraordinary. Thanks Matt for your great reaction. ❤️🥰🇨🇦
This presentation was made in January this year at the Welcome Gala of the new year that's why the typical red and gold festive colors in china in these festivities.Drunken concubine narrates in dialogue the tragic love story between a famous concubine of the Chinese imperial court (Li yu Gang in female role) and the emperor (Dimash in the male role) that's why in the stage the thrones the luxurious of the emperor and the discreet concubine. Not only is the combination of styles when interpreting they also assume a role according to history. They mix it with Diva Dance, but they return to retake the history of Drunken concubine as a dialogue. In the story (not in the video) the concubine dies poisoned like result of the intrigues of the court. They tell us a sad love story in a masterful way with wailing voices. A spectacular harmony with two different styles: the traditional Chinese opera (in the Chinese opera it was forbidden for women to participate and those roles were played by men) and the contemporary. Greetings from Nicaragua. 🇳🇮
U need to understand this Song Drunken Concubine.. Li acts as Yang Gui Fei who is the favourite concubine of King of Tang Dinasty and Dimash acts as the King.. This song is folk song about the King put the concubine in the Death Penalty because her betrayal and the concubine asked for free.. This is about love and hate..
Yay! Excited, i'm glad you are back👏😄 Hope you do Screaming MV + Idol Hits live next😊 Just a recommendation that you might not see: When you do the Idol Hits you should react to (or watch after) the behind the scenes version from Gloria Wu's channel with English subtitles, you can see how they rearranged the song and some other cool clips. :)
after you seriously hear Li's voice, it is softer and more comfortble to your ears. Even you hear Li's high voice (female voice) more than one hour, it doesn't make you headache
Hola EXCELENTE tu canal. GRACIAS por REACCIONAR a nuestro GRAN CANTANTE DIMASH kudaibergen. Porfa REACCIONAR a la canción DIMASH super Vocal Boys- QUEEN y otras más por favor. GRACIAS desde CHILE 👍👍🇨🇱
I'm looking forward to you watching Passione. Igor is on the piano, there's a choir onstage. I'm excited to hear your interpretation of the song, and also what is happening in the background as Dimash sings. I don't want to give too much away, just really hope you react to that song soon :)
That is chair where chinese empires sitting on. Dimash pretended He is the king and the the other guy acted the queen(which very normal for male opera Singer act female character in Peking Opera)
Glad you got to unwind and relax! you work hard and even hard on this videos for us...thank you so much, brother, for all you do! Lots of love & respect, bro! And, as always, I'm proud & happy to help you on the streams and support your channel!
The musical discourse between the emperor and the concubine around the whistle tone is stunning. I actually love the whining, pleading tone of Li's in response to Dimash's authoritative staccatos reinforced by the whistle as he sends her off into death/suicide. Brilliant! Thank you all below for the informative background explanations.
The Drunken Concubine is Dimash as the Emperor and Li Yugang is the concubine. They are remembering a time that they had when drinking. I believe that the Emperor is supposed to be sentencing the concubine to death?? and she is reminding him of their good times. (I may be wrong) This is a conversation & when Li Yugang is doing the 'Drunken Concubine' while Dimash is doing 'Diva Dance' it is to show this. Li Yugang is a famous Peking Opera singer who plays female roles - a tradition in China. You will find that your enjoyment and appreciation of this whole performance will grow if you listen to it 3 - 4 xs and you will end up really loving it.
LOL poor Greg is in trouble😁. I'm laughing just imagining Matt trying to do a chair slide in that golden one!😆 Отличная реакция и разбор, Мэтт!👍 Было интересно, познавательно и весело😉
Not a music theorist here or anything, but I’m guessing the aim was to have the styles progress almost like Call and response Clash, or immiscibility Flirtation Took me a few watches to buy into this Dimash song, but I really like the blend/fusion effect. I think in Peking opera, one effect that’s sought after is sort of the “emulate a stringed instrument, or a bell” which Li does really well. Sort of twinges or like bounces through the notes :)
Great reaction, really spot on as usual, thank you so much :) By the way, I've never noticed Li's shoes untill you mentioned it. Now I can't stop noticing them lol. Hugs from Athens, Greece
Футболка супер. Это можно сделать в ателье. Любую фотку прилепят куда хотите. У нас в Мурманске это стоит в пределах 700 р. На кружку 300 - 350. Я тоже хочу, но пока нет лишних денег.
Li Yugang is a famous star of Chinese opera. He specializes in female roles and if you can believe it, he's 41 years old! You should take a look at his solo performances, especially of Drunken Concubine which seems to be a very well known song in China. Here Dimash plays the emperor and Li plays the concubine. The idea was to contrast Chinese and Kazakh/European singing styles and they did a fabulous job. Combining this with the Diva Dance was genius and their harmonies are heavenly! You just need to listen to this several times to get used to the contrast in styles and nasality, then hopefully you'll appreciate how stunning this performance really is. I know it's initially jarring to Western ears but Li really meant to showcase his Chinese operatic style. BTW I've read that the whistle is a G7.
Please react to KNOW. from Marz 2019, Moscow (2x), Sochi, with Igor Krutoy. I know you like to see Dimash hands . Here you can realy enjoy them. And everytime Dimash sang, each of them is different. Then you can see the MV KNOW:
Dude listen to Hua Chenyu version of Nunchuks and you'll love traditional opera singing because it makes soooo much sense the way he uses it in the song. Please react to it, you won't regret it 🙏
I love how you love on Dimash & how meticulous you are in your reviews. Now I really wanna see you react to Hua Chenyu, you’ll be in for a treat with that one too. Nunchucks or Child performances would be a good start. Luv from Lux
Li Yugang y Dimash son cantantes e intérpretes impresionantes y espectaculares, que voces tan increíbles con registros muy amplios, Dimash y Li Yugang son alienígenas son como de otro planeta, Li Yugang es maravilloso impactante es tan talentoso como Dimash, saludos new Dear...
I agree with the style clashes at the end of the diva dance, and the ending more compatible, and that Li Yulang’s voice/tone at the beginning was more pleasing, beautiful
Great shirt and video. Welcome back. I agree with you about Li's voice. I also prefer how he sounds in the beginning as opposed to the rest of the song.
Dear Matthew, sometimes it is better to check previously the story behind the song to understand the context, specially in Chinese songs. What I like the most is to learn about different cultures through music. Dimash is a god of vocals, he knows exactly how to improvise and use different vocal resources in the precise moment of the song. Li Yugan‘s professional level demonstrates he is an artist by nature, he is also considered a national treasure. Li developed his act borrowing nan dan (male playing female roles) movements (hands and legs) and singing (in this case like meows) art forms from Peking Opera giving the traditional art a modern edge. His shoes are Asian Chinese Beijing Opera Minister, nothing related to Dimash’s height. My next suggestion would be Swan goose, another great Dimash duo with Tengri 👌
Жду с нетерпением. Что - то вы опаздываете, молодой человек. Я вас сегодня ждала. Люблю ваши реакции. Спасибо, что разделяете нашу любовь к Димашику. ;)
Matt, to translate what Tatiana said, " I look forward to it. Something you are late, young man. I was waiting for you today. I love your reactions. Thank you for sharing our love for Dimashik. ;)"
@@СветланаВасильева-е2т Светлана, в будущем я постараюсь переводить стенограммы разговоров Мэтта с отметками времени, чтобы вы могли следить за тем, что он говорит. К сожалению, я не могу перевести его вживую, потому что очень занят работой модератором на канале. Я много работаю и люблю всех своих русскоязычных и славяноговорящих людей! Недавно я узнал, что я на четверть россиянин (Калининград) и горжусь своим наследием. Думаю, есть причина, по которой я всегда любил русских, украинских и белорусских женщин и начал изучать русский язык ... :-)
He is actually not singing at the part you didn’t like. It’s talking with a woman’s voice. It was fangirl talk, basically. Yugang is an actor and plays a lot of female roles. And that explains his style of singing as well.
Li Yugang is singing female roles in traditional Peking opera. And you are right, he uses traditional technique and even in pentatonic scale 🙂. You have really sharp ear. Drunken concubine Li singing. And the song is even better if you can understand the lyrics. I like this duet, I can listen them over and over again.
Мэтью привет👋 Что-то заметил в конце ? Мне тоже показалось, что Димашику чуточку не хватило дыхания. Согласись , партия то очень не простая. Ли Юган замечательный певец, очень знаменитый в Китае, как исполнитель женских партий в традиционной китайской опере. Но даже он в "Дива дэнс", на стакато чуть сфальшивил пару нот. На репетиции(есть запись) он пел чище, точнее. А вобще номер очень интересный. Оба певца превосходны. Дополняли друг друга вполне. Спасибо Мэтью, очень люблю твои реакции, ты умница🤗Всем мира и добра, здоровья и процветания🙏🏻.Из России с любовью ❤✌
Диалог инопланетян.... Я поражаюсь чистоте и качеству звука, которые воспроизводит Димаш.... Чистота и качество. Качество и чистота... Китаец тоже прекрасен🎉 Пришлось ему встать на высокую подошву... А Димаш 191 см ростом, между прочим
Just pointing the part of Li speaks above the Dimash's line, Li is just speaking words to give context to the 2nd part of the Drunken Concumbine, just telling the story, that is why it don't match with the lasts seconds of the Diva's Dance part. Cheers from Brazil!
After many times listening to the part you said you didn't really like....the way you did your hands gave me sudden insight.....imagine the staccato of Dimash's Diva is the hard-hitting pattern of lovemaking of the King and his drunken concubine while Li's 'cry' notes sounded like the concubine 'little death' (can I say that on yt? lol)...anyway then its like they're having a little after 'honey-time' conversation.
Awesome, exciting and very detailed reaction as always 👌 Thank you Matthew and Mocha 🤗 I actually fell asleep just before it premiered 😕 but very happy to be able to experience the greatness of this performance now 😊💯🔥 #buyourmilk #chairslide 🙋
Thank you for saying that you prefer the MV, finally I don't feel alone :) everyone keep saying to watch the life performance, but I think Matthew should first watch the MV and than the life performance as they are completely different
@@silviaklackova414 Matt said once that he's gonna watch the MV and then the live version in one video :) I think that would be the best, both versions are different but great😊
I love your reaction. Can you react to another song by Dimash- A thousand miles a common dream. He compose a song from poetry from Tang dynasty about a friend departing for long journey.
He is a Chinese opera singer and he mainly does female characters soooo that's why his range is higher rather than wider also if I remember Yu Gang is in his 40s
Thanks for reacting to this performance. It is of very high quality, showcasing the art of opera in the East and West. The drunken concubine is Li Yugang's magnum opus to critical acclaim globally; Li is a national treasure in China for his art. He specialises in playing female roles in Beijing opera n thus his nasal tones. 😀
Everyone links the nasal quality to the specifics of Chinese Opera, and the female roles played by male performers...that's incorrect though. The nasal sound does not come from Chinese Opera singing. It comes from the Chinese language itself. Both Mandarin and Cantonese use these front nasal and back nasal sounds so they don't have to sing opera, their speech in general is very nasal. It just sounds more pronounced when a male hits female registers in a traditional opera style in an already nasal language.
Li YuGand is 40 yrs old and a treasure of the Traditional Chinese Opera specializes in Female Roles. This performance is the story of an Emperor -Dimash ,and Li Yugang who plays the role of his favorite Concubine, Dimash is having to force his love into committing suicide, and this is their last meeting... Classic story and you miss half of the performance when you don't understand the story!
He's 40??? He kinda looks like 20s here. My God that blows my mind
@@ungratefulbastard3816 noooo, they were talking about Li, she is 40, Dimash is now 27 ☺

I love this performance
Yeah, I was the same way. It wasn't my favorite starting out, but now I have to hear it at least once a day!

I think that this is by far the best Dimash duet as Li is so different. They match beautifully in the Diva Dance end, fusion of the Eastern and Western world.

Another ohhh my gosh Dimash wednesday!!!!!! ¡¡¡Olééé!!!
Dimash vocal range now is 7 octaves and one semi tone. From C#1 - D8.
But this is what Dimash shows to us,in reality probably much wider.
Not C#1 that I know of. This here was a F#1 if I remember correctly and you generally don't count growl as a register

Call and response
Clash, or immiscibility
Flirtation
Took me a few watches to buy into this Dimash song, but I really like the blend/fusion effect. I think in Peking opera, one effect that’s sought after is sort of the “emulate a stringed instrument, or a bell” which Li does really well. Sort of twinges or like bounces through the notes :)
Great reaction, really spot on as usual, thank you so much :) By the way, I've never noticed Li's shoes untill you mentioned it. Now I can't stop noticing them lol.
Hugs from Athens, Greece
Аааааааа! Какая футболкааааа!))))))
Откуда у него эта футболка? Хочу тоже🙏😍
Футболка супер. Это можно сделать в ателье. Любую фотку прилепят куда хотите. У нас в Мурманске это стоит в пределах 700 р. На кружку 300 - 350. Я тоже хочу, но пока нет лишних денег.
Li Yugang is a famous star of Chinese opera. He specializes in female roles and if you can believe it, he's 41 years old! You should take a look at his solo performances, especially of Drunken Concubine which seems to be a very well known song in China. Here Dimash plays the emperor and Li plays the concubine. The idea was to contrast Chinese and Kazakh/European singing styles and they did a fabulous job. Combining this with the Diva Dance was genius and their harmonies are heavenly! You just need to listen to this several times to get used to the contrast in styles and nasality, then hopefully you'll appreciate how stunning this performance really is. I know it's initially jarring to Western ears but Li really meant to showcase his Chinese operatic style. BTW I've read that the whistle is a G7.
Arizona Dear here Matt look for THOUSANDS MILES A COMMON DREAM CCTV it is Beautiful Amazing Touching and his voice is just gorgeous .
Hello claudia I am the arizona soy Dear de Dimash ...hello Dimash 😍😍😍is alien
I'm not gonna lie, I love the traditional Chinese opera sound. Just beautiful...
They made a compliment of different kind of voice. Li YuGang as an operatic female role singer do a duet with masculine dimash voice.
Please react to KNOW. from Marz 2019, Moscow (2x), Sochi, with Igor Krutoy. I know you like to see Dimash hands . Here you can realy enjoy them.
And everytime Dimash sang, each of them is different. Then you can see the MV KNOW:
He did live reaction to MV Know at the end of the New York concert live stream.
Dude listen to Hua Chenyu version of Nunchuks and you'll love traditional opera singing because it makes soooo much sense the way he uses it in the song. Please react to it, you won't regret it 🙏
Yeah, that is a great suggestion. I also love Bullfighting... But definitly nunchucks first.
That's what I suggest also!!! You'll love it!!!
Great reaction Matt! I totally agree with your opinions about the song!
I love how you love on Dimash & how meticulous you are in your reviews. Now I really wanna see you react to Hua Chenyu, you’ll be in for a treat with that one too. Nunchucks or Child performances would be a good start. Luv from Lux
Li Yugang y Dimash son cantantes e intérpretes impresionantes y espectaculares, que voces tan increíbles con registros muy amplios, Dimash y Li Yugang son alienígenas son como de otro planeta, Li Yugang es maravilloso impactante es tan talentoso como Dimash, saludos new Dear...
Димаш 💓
Please react to "My Swan" MV!! I wanna see you lose your mind over those rolled Rs 😍😅
Nany Lop 😂😂😂 Like we all do 🙈
Li is traditional Peking operatic school. He's trained as nan dan...a male who plays female characters and sings female parts.
Screaming for idols hits please;thank you dear😘.I am very glad to see you again.
I agree with the style clashes at the end of the diva dance, and the ending more compatible, and that Li Yulang’s voice/tone at the beginning was more pleasing, beautiful
Great shirt and video. Welcome back. I agree with you about Li's voice. I also prefer how he sounds in the beginning as opposed to the rest of the song.
Dear Matthew, sometimes it is better to check previously the story behind the song to understand the context, specially in Chinese songs. What I like the most is to learn about different cultures through music. Dimash is a god of vocals, he knows exactly how to improvise and use different vocal resources in the precise moment of the song. Li Yugan‘s professional level demonstrates he is an artist by nature, he is also considered a national treasure. Li developed his act borrowing nan dan (male playing female roles) movements (hands and legs) and singing (in this case like meows) art forms from Peking Opera giving the traditional art a modern edge. His shoes are Asian Chinese Beijing Opera Minister, nothing related to Dimash’s height. My next suggestion would be Swan goose, another great Dimash duo with Tengri 👌
Thanks about the opera shoes/boots, I was going to say that. Bought a pair in a shop in Shanghai that sold Opera costumes in 1981.
Great reaction. Big hug from Brazil.
Жду с нетерпением. Что - то вы опаздываете, молодой человек. Я вас сегодня ждала. Люблю ваши реакции. Спасибо, что разделяете нашу любовь к Димашику. ;)
Matt, to translate what Tatiana said, "
I look forward to it. Something you are late, young man. I was waiting for you today. I love your reactions. Thank you for sharing our love for Dimashik. ;)"
Татьяна, спасибо за поддержку Мэтта и за то, что вы здесь для Димаша! Вы такая замечательная женщина! Большое спасибо!
@@gregpotter2278 Спасибо! Люблю Мэтта за его искреннюю любовь к Димашу, профессионализм, за то что подмечает все нюансы. Футболка супер!
Да я тоже хотя не понимаю о чем говорит Мэтт,он мне нравится 🤗😅
@@СветланаВасильева-е2т
Светлана, в будущем я постараюсь переводить стенограммы разговоров Мэтта с отметками времени, чтобы вы могли следить за тем, что он говорит. К сожалению, я не могу перевести его вживую, потому что очень занят работой модератором на канале. Я много работаю и люблю всех своих русскоязычных и славяноговорящих людей! Недавно я узнал, что я на четверть россиянин (Калининград) и горжусь своим наследием. Думаю, есть причина, по которой я всегда любил русских, украинских и белорусских женщин и начал изучать русский язык ... :-)
I adore this duet! The counter-melodies and harmonies are exquisite, and the storytelling by two experienced Masters is so powerful.
KNOW from New wave 2019 .Please !
Да, Димаш - это ДИМАШ!!! Спасибо Мэтью, опять все изюминки в выступлении Димаша отметил! Люблю твои реакции!
Ли поёт только в той манере и диапазоне, в котором он умеет, а Димашу по фиг, поёт, как хочет!!!!!!!!!!!!
A los oradores polacos, ¡gracias por apoyar a Matt y por estar aquí también para Dimash! ¡Muchas gracias por estar aquí!
He is actually not singing at the part you didn’t like. It’s talking with a woman’s voice. It was fangirl talk, basically. Yugang is an actor and plays a lot of female roles. And that explains his style of singing as well.
The more I listen to this I love it, although I understand your veiw. its so different. 😇🤴💐💐💐
dimash like 'the king' with that chair😀😊💕,please react dimash sing 'queen medley' with super vocal boys.so so cool💓
So nice tshirt I loved really loved, it's beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍🤩😍🤩
Miles de gracias por tu linda reaccion Dears 🤗❤️💋❤️
Looking forward to this, hoping to stay up for the premiere but if not I’ll catch it in the morning 🥛🥛🥛😀🇬🇧
Li Yugang is singing female roles in traditional Peking opera. And you are right, he uses traditional technique and even in pentatonic scale 🙂. You have really sharp ear. Drunken concubine Li singing. And the song is even better if you can understand the lyrics. I like this duet, I can listen them over and over again.
Dimash was sitting on the king's chair and Li was the queen/concubine chair. Same as their roles and lyrics, king and concubine.
I totally agree with you, and well Di is a human, nobody perfect he is almost 🤣
Was so excited when I remembered that today's Wednesday 😁 Can't wait for this!
Welcome back, dear 😋
Dimash & Sundet ~ Notre Dame de Paris ~ Grand Opera 2016
Мэтью привет👋 Что-то заметил в конце ? Мне тоже показалось, что Димашику чуточку не хватило дыхания. Согласись , партия то очень не простая. Ли Юган замечательный певец, очень знаменитый в Китае, как исполнитель женских партий в традиционной китайской опере. Но даже он в "Дива дэнс", на стакато чуть сфальшивил пару нот. На репетиции(есть запись) он пел чище, точнее. А вобще номер очень интересный. Оба певца превосходны. Дополняли друг друга вполне. Спасибо Мэтью, очень люблю твои реакции, ты умница🤗Всем мира и добра, здоровья и процветания🙏🏻.Из России с любовью ❤✌
Диалог инопланетян....
Я поражаюсь чистоте и качеству звука, которые воспроизводит Димаш....
Чистота и качество. Качество и чистота...
Китаец тоже прекрасен🎉
Пришлось ему встать на высокую подошву...
А Димаш 191 см ростом, между прочим
Dimash our beloved ♥
Mr perfect 👌 I love him
Just pointing the part of Li speaks above the Dimash's line, Li is just speaking words to give context to the 2nd part of the Drunken Concumbine, just telling the story, that is why it don't match with the lasts seconds of the Diva's Dance part. Cheers from Brazil!
After many times listening to the part you said you didn't really like....the way you did your hands gave me sudden insight.....imagine the staccato of Dimash's Diva is the hard-hitting pattern of lovemaking of the King and his drunken concubine while Li's 'cry' notes sounded like the concubine 'little death' (can I say that on yt? lol)...anyway then its like they're having a little after 'honey-time' conversation.
Awesome, exciting and very detailed reaction as always 👌 Thank you Matthew and Mocha 🤗 I actually fell asleep just before it premiered 😕 but very happy to be able to experience the greatness of this performance now 😊💯🔥 #buyourmilk #chairslide 🙋
I'd recommend you to watch Screaming. I prefer the music video but others disagree, so do both.
Thank you for saying that you prefer the MV, finally I don't feel alone :) everyone keep saying to watch the life performance, but I think Matthew should first watch the MV and than the life performance as they are completely different
@@silviaklackova414 Matt said once that he's gonna watch the MV and then the live version in one video :) I think that would be the best, both versions are different but great😊
I love your reaction. Can you react to another song by Dimash- A thousand miles a common dream.
He compose a song from poetry from Tang dynasty about a friend departing for long journey.
He is a Chinese opera singer and he mainly does female characters soooo that's why his range is higher rather than wider also if I remember Yu Gang is in his 40s
Wow he's 40? He looks great
@@hogue_music yea i just double checked ... hes 41
Thanks for reacting to this performance. It is of very high quality, showcasing the art of opera in the East and West.
The drunken concubine is Li Yugang's magnum opus to critical acclaim globally; Li is a national treasure in China for his art. He specialises in playing female roles in Beijing opera n thus his nasal tones.
😀
Everyone links the nasal quality to the specifics of Chinese Opera, and the female roles played by male performers...that's incorrect though. The nasal sound does not come from Chinese Opera singing. It comes from the Chinese language itself. Both Mandarin and Cantonese use these front nasal and back nasal sounds so they don't have to sing opera, their speech in general is very nasal. It just sounds more pronounced when a male hits female registers in a traditional opera style in an already nasal language.
Thank you for your reaction!
Dimash has a very beautiful Chinese song "Thousands of Miles". Please make a reaction to it.
Actually, there is a version of the Diva dance with a whistle note.
Yep, another F#7 in the Shenzhen version
