(Clearwisdom.net) The three-day Berlin Shen Yun Performing Arts 2009 World Tour performances at the Friedrichstadtpalast music venue came to a close on Wednesday, March 25, 2009. The audience showed its appreciation with warm applause throughout the show.

Mr. Nedelescu, renowned Romanian tenor, was deeply moved by the musical component of Shen Yun during its final show in Germany for the 2009 world tour. "I'm very touched, I am leaving with a lot of music in my soul and my heart. Tonight's show has touched us deeply."

Born in Bucharest, Romania, Mr. Nedelescu began his musical education at the age of five. This included learning the piano and singing for the Bucharest children's radio and in the children's choir. He then moved to Germany in 1984, where he continued his involvement in the music industry to become a renowned tenor.

During the show, Mr. Nedelescu had the pleasure of watching another tenor, Mr. Hong Ming, sing "Calmness in Knowing," a solo performance. Mr. Nedelescu said, "It had a good feeling. No matter what the singer sings, the tenor presented great skill in his art, not only from the viewpoint of the singing, but also from his wisdom and from his human side. The Chinese people should be proud of him. He has an outstanding voice. I truly liked him tremendously, and will personally congratulate him tonight if I have the chance to meet him."

Mr. Nedelescu also recognized what the performance was bringing to the people, "Today's performance showed much humanity, much truth that came from the heart and from feeling. The audience responded well to this. This evening brought much to our psyche. I hope that the tradition of the Chinese people continues to be on the path of truth. One must always learn to call truth by its real name. Everyone should aspire to bring out the best in everyone else."

During the VIP reception after the show, which Mr. Nedelescu attended, he found the opportunity to meet Mr. Hong Ming. To express his thanks, he spontaneously broke out in song with Mr. Hong, an impromptu rendition of the Italian folk song, "O Sole Mio." The other VIP's were delighted and applauded heartily. It truly was a beautiful finale for the Shen Yun artists on their 2009 tour.

On leaving, Mr. Nedelescu thanked and congratulated the performers, "I congratulate you again for a successful evening. For me this was truly special. I lack words to describe it. One never can truly describe the stories, the entire art in words, or in the way it was presented to the audience. Unique. I'm delighted that I could be present."

Tenor Mr. Hong Ming's voice was a rare find, said the head of an opera singers agency, Mr. Mogilevets.

"Super, fantastic. A tenor of his caliber, one can only find once in a rare while--anywhere in the world." Mr. Mogilevets is a professional singer himself, with a long association in the world of opera. He was especially struck by the voice quality of Mr. Hong, likening his voice to that of great Italian operatic singers, Giacomini and Caruso. "Hong Ming is perfect and sounds like a Giacomini, truly reminiscent of him. The voices are similar. His vocal powers, with good high notes. ... Good voices cannot be described," Mr. Mogilevets said.

Ms. Tatiana Korovina, a renowned soprano, who had sung in the Vienna State Opera as Queen of the Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute, was glad she had come to the Shen Yun performance.

"I enjoyed it very much. It is of a high quality. One can see that there is a lot of effort behind it. These are very professional dancers. One cannot do something like this if one is an amateur. One can see that immediately. The costumes were very beautiful as well. One will think quite a bit about the choreography, and the content a lot. The entire stage picture [the 3-D digital backdrops] ... I find that very good," Ms. Korovina said.

As a singer, she shared, "I think that from the material alone, from the voice, they are all very good, and then of course they bring forth substance. However, the European audience members might be more used to hearing a known piece from a singer they know, and traditional Chinese singing is a little more difficult ... but it reaches the audience. It is nice that as a listener, one can recognize the differences."

Ms. Korovina added, "I noticed many messages. I cannot say that there was only one message. Overall, there were quite a lot [of messages]. Maybe all things considered, that good will prevail in the end, yes one can say it like that."

She gleaned some musical inspiration from the show and said, "Most certainly the fantasy has been awakened. Maybe one will learn something and look up what was not understandable. But one will [leave] this concert with thoughts, with memories."
