ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Daria van den Bercken - Pianist
Daria van den Bercken has played piano with major Dutch orchestras, and performed many a recital in her country’s famed concert halls. But her larger vision is to bring classical music to the masses.

Why you should listen

Pianist Daria van den Bercken makes classical music lovers — and those who had no idea that they appreciated this kind of music — listen to classic composers with fresh ears. She has played with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, and is a regular guest at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. But it’s bringing classic music to unexpected audiences where her passion engages.

While sick with the flu several years ago, Daria discovered the keyboard compositions of George Frideric Handel. She wanted to bring these beautiful works to the masses. With her project ‘Handel at the Piano,’ she played these pieces in unexpected places — even flying with her piano 25-feet over the audience at the Virada Cultural Festival in São Paulo, Brazil. Through a series of concerts, and an album, she asked audiences to rethink Handel.

Daria’s latest project is 'Keys to Mozart,' an effort to breathe new life into Mozart’s piano works. She is preparing to record an album for Sony Classical and will play a series of concerts too.

Daria van den Bercken: Why I take the piano on the road ... and in the air

Дариа ван дэн Бэркен: Гудамж болон тэнгэрт төгөлдөр хуураа эгшиглүүлдгийн минь учир...

Төгөлдөр хуурч Дариа ван дэн Бэркен хөгжмийн зохиолч Жорж Фридерик Хандэлийн барок, даралтат хөгжимд хайртай нэгэн. Хөгжмөөс олж авсан гайхалтай мэдрэмжүүдээ бусадтайгаа хуваалцах нь түүний мөрөөдөл. Энэхүү илтгэлд Бэркен төгөлдөр хууртайгаа агаараар аялж, гудамжаар жороолж, тайзан дээр үзүүлбэр үзүүлж, Хандэлийн эрс тэс, огцом аясыг тоглоно.

01:45
Now you may ask, why have I done these things?

Одоо та нар надаас яагаад ингэснийг
асууж болно.
01:48
They're not really typical for a musician's

Энэ бол хөгжимчин хүний энгийн
01:50
day-to-day life.
18
98692
2221
өдөр тутмын амьдрал биш юм.
01:52
Well, I did it because I fell in love with the music
19
100913
3550
Би хөгжимд дурласан учир үүнийг хийдэг.
01:56
and I wanted to share it with as many people
20
104463
3082
Тэгээд үүнийгээ аль болох олон хүнтэй
01:59
as possible.
21
107545
2284
хуваалцахыг хүссэн юм.
02:01
It started a couple of years ago.
22
109829
2115
Хоёр, гурван жилийн өмнө
02:03
I was sitting at home on the couch with the flu
23
111944
3431
би ханиадтай гэртээ сууж байхдаа
интернэтээр хэсч яваад
02:07
and browsing the Internet a little,
24
115375
2122
02:09
when I found out that Handel had written works
25
117497
2823
Хандел жижиг төгөлдөр хуурын аяс зохиосон
02:12
for the keyboard.
26
120320
2000
гэдгийг олж мэдсэн юм.
02:14
Well, I was surprised. I did not know this.
27
122320
2317
Өмнө нь мэддэггүй байсан тул гайхсан.
02:16
So I downloaded the sheet music and started playing.
28
124637
4383
Тэгээд нотыг нь татаж аваад тоглож
эхэлсэн.
02:21
And what happened next was
29
129020
1900
Нэг л мэдэхэд би тунгалаг,
02:22
that I entered this state of pure,
30
130920
3571
бахдам гайхшралд автлаа.
02:26
unprejudiced amazement.
31
134491
2869
02:29
It was an experience
32
137360
2340
Энэ нь хөгжмийг үнэхээр
02:31
of being totally in awe of the music,
33
139700
3127
гайхан мэдэрсэн, давтагдашгүй
сэтгэгдэл байсан.
Ийм мэдрэмжийг би удаан хугацаанд
02:34
and I had not felt that in a long time.
34
142827
3780
мэдрээгүй байсан юм.
02:38
It might be easier to relate to this when you hear it.
35
146607
4153
Энийг сонсоод үзвэл та илүү ойлгох байх.
02:42
The first piece that I played through
36
150760
3291
Анх тоглосон ая минь ингэж эхэлсэн юм.
02:46
started like this.
37
154051
2789
02:49
(Music)
38
157845
5947
(Хөгжим)
03:14
Well this sounds very melancholic, doesn't it?
39
182950
3730
Жаахан гунигласан өнгө аястай
байгаа биз?
03:18
And I turned the page and what came next
40
186680
3034
Ингээд дараагийн хуудсаа эргүүлтэл,
03:21
was this.
41
189714
1958
ийм байлаа.
03:23
(Music)
42
191672
3720
(Хөгжим)
Маш цоглог, эрч хүчтэй ая байгаа биз?
03:50
Well, this sounds very energetic, doesn't it?
43
218624
4066
03:54
So within a couple of minutes,
44
222690
2700
Тэгэхээр хэдхэн минутын дотор,
03:57
and the piece isn't even finished yet,
45
225390
2160
ая дуусах болоогүй байхад
03:59
I experienced two very contrasting characters:
46
227550
4095
би тэс өөр 2 өнгө аясыг мэдэрсэн.
04:03
beautiful melancholy and sheer energy.
47
231645
3622
Үзэсгэлэнтэй гуниг ба огцом эрч хүч.
04:07
And I consider these two elements to be
48
235267
2070
Би энэ 2 элэментийг хүний зан төлөв,
04:09
vital human expressions.
49
237337
2803
илэрхийллийн чухал хэсэг гэж боддог.
04:12
And the purity of the music makes you hear it
50
240140
2675
Хөгжмийн цэвэр ариун байдал нь
үүнийг маш сайн сонсоход тусалдаг.
04:14
very effectively.
51
242815
3432
Би 7, 8 настай хүүхдүүдэд зориулж
04:19
I've given a lot of children's concerts
52
247893
2340
04:22
for children of seven and eight years old,
53
250233
3138
маш олон хүүхдийн концерт тоглосон.
04:25
and whatever I play, whether it's Bach, Beethoven,
54
253371
3814
Бах, Бетховен гээд хэний ч ая бай,
04:29
even Stockhausen,
55
257185
1575
бүр Штокхаусенийх,
04:30
or some jazzy music,
56
258760
2992
эсвэл нэг жааз хөгжим ч бай
04:33
they are open to hear it,
57
261752
2149
тэд сонсоход бэлэн байдаг.
04:35
really willing to listen,
58
263901
1287
Хүүхдүүд ойлгож сонсох чин
эрмэлзэлтэй ба
04:37
and they are comfortable doing so.
59
265188
3528
ингэхдээ ч дуртай байдаг.
04:40
And when classes come in
60
268716
1534
Харин ангиар хичээл ороход
04:42
with children who are just a few years older,
61
270250
3449
хэдэн насаар ахмад,
11, 12 настай хүүхдүүдэд заримдаа
04:45
11, 12, I felt that I sometimes already had trouble
62
273699
4848
хөгжмөөр хүрэхэд илүү хэцүү болдог
04:50
in reaching them like that.
63
278547
2093
04:52
The complexity of the music does become an issue,
64
280640
3667
Хөгжмийн төвөгтэй байдал нь асуудал болж,
04:56
and actually the opinions of others —
65
284307
3833
мөн бусдын үзэл бодол:
эцэг эх, найзууд, медиа чухал
болж эхэлдэг.
05:00
parents, friends, media — they start to count.
66
288140
4683
05:04
But the young ones, they don't question
67
292823
2508
Гэхдээ бага насны хүүхдүүд өөрсдийн
05:07
their own opinion.
68
295331
3341
бодлоосоо няцдаггүй.
05:10
They are in this constant state of wonder,
69
298672
2992
Тэд үргэлж сониучирхан,
гайхширч байдаг ба
05:13
and I do firmly believe that we can keep listening
70
301664
3690
бид хэдий өсч, том болсон ч,
яг л тэр 7 настай хүүхдүүд шиг
05:17
like these seven-year-old children,
71
305354
2284
хөгжмийг шимтэн сонсож чадна гэдэг
баттай итгэж байна.
05:19
even when growing up.
72
307638
2474
05:22
And that is why I have played
73
310112
2149
Тийм ч учраас би тоглолтын
заалаар зогсолтгүй
05:24
not only in the concert hall
74
312261
2340
гудамж, интернэт,
05:26
but also on the street, online, in the air:
75
314601
4329
агаарт хөгжмөө тоглодог.
05:30
to feel that state of wonder,
76
318930
2567
Тэр гайхшралд автаж,
үнэн сэтгэлээсээ бөгөөд ямар нэг
05:33
to truly listen,
77
321497
2182
ялгаварлалгүй мэдэрч, сонсохын
тулд.
05:35
and to listen without prejudice.
78
323679
3544
05:39
And I would like to invite you
79
327223
2126
Тиймээс та бүхнийг ч гэсэн
05:41
to do so now.
80
329349
3033
ингэж сонсохыг одоо урьж байна.
