Three "golden" voices of revolutionary music reunite: Immortal memories echo

Elaborately staged, the program was like a slow-motion film, taking the audience back in time to the heroic but also arduous and sacrificial years of the nation. With two chapters: "Forever believing in the Party" and "The Great Spring Victory", the music night vividly recreated the courageous, steadfast spirit and great solidarity of the entire nation in the long-term resistance war, determined to liberate the South, to reunite the country - especially the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign and the triumphant song of the general offensive and uprising in the Spring of 1975. The program led the audience's emotions through each immortal melody associated with the historical memories of the nation, both painful and tragic, each lyric and song, sometimes solemn and poignant, sometimes bustling and full of faith.

People's Artist Thu Hien's voice is still sweet and soulful.

The most emotional and anticipated highlight of the night was the reunion of the three golden voices, the greats of Vietnamese revolutionary music: People's Artist Thu Hien, People's Artist Trung Duc and People's Artist Quang Tho. Their appearance on the stage of Ho Guom Theater was not only a performance, but also the return of a whole memory associated with the vibrant youth, reviving the sacred emotions of a painful yet heroic historical period of the nation.

When People's Artist Thu Hien sang the first verses of "Cau ho ben bo Hien Luong", the whole audience fell silent. Her voice, despite being over 70 years old, still retains its sweetness and longing, carrying the feelings of separation and the desire for unification of the 21 years the Ben Hai River has endured bombs and bullets. She confided that this song has been with her since its first days in 1957, following her to the battlefield, down to Vinh Moc tunnel. "I used to sing the melodies of "Cau ho ben bo Hien Luong" in a very special context... singing on the riverbank, under the tunnel... the melodies are forever in my heart, never to be forgotten...". Standing on the stage of Ho Guom Theater today, singing that memorable song again on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the country's unification, is an extremely happy and emotional thing for her.

People's Artist Quang Tho still gives the audience "goosebumps" with his warm, hearty baritone voice.

People's Artist Quang Tho, despite his old age, his once-famous deep and hearty baritone voice still gives the audience "goosebumps" when he brings quiet moments with "The Party gave me bright eyes and a bright heart" and "Love song". Meanwhile, the smooth and hearty voice of People's Artist Trung Duc ignites the heroic atmosphere, recreating the image of the legendary Truong Son army through the medley "On the top of Truong Son we sing - The Truong Son stick - Hello, Lam Hong girl" sung with Meritorious Artist Vu Thang Loi. Their strong and hearty voices seem to bring the audience back to the seething atmosphere of the years of resistance against the US to save the country.

People's Artist Trung Duc still makes audiences ecstatic with his deep, resonant voice.

Not only with the great trees, the stage of "The Party in the Great Spring Victory" is also a place for talented singers of the next generation to shine. Meritorious Artist Dang Duong and Meritorious Artist Vu Thang Loi continued to affirm their position in the revolutionary music genre with powerful performances through "Ho Chi Minh is the most beautiful name", "The road we go", "We are proud to go up, oh Vietnam". Tung Duong made a strong impression with "Color of red flowers", an epic about sacrifice, which he performed magically, fiercely but also very affectionately. Besides, Le Anh Dung, Dong Hung, Viet Danh, Bao Yen, Meritorious Artist Lan Anh, Meritorious Artist Pham Khanh Ngoc... contributed to creating a colorful musical picture, both heroic and lyrical, demonstrating the strong continuity of revolutionary music.

The elaborateness, stature and class are shown in every detail of the staging. I was deeply moved when the heroic pages of the resistance war against the US to save the country were vividly recreated on stage. Each art performance, each special scene, combined with the emotional voices of generations of artists touched the hearts of the audience.” – audience member An Ngoc Tan (Ha Dong District, Hanoi) expressed.

The sublimation of revolutionary music and international symphonies

One of the factors that made the difference and class of “The Party in the Great Spring Victory” was the accompaniment of the Sun Symphony Orchestra (SSO). The participation of talented domestic and international musicians, under the direction of the famous conductor Olivier Ochanine, brought an impressive academic music space, elevating classic revolutionary songs.
