英國Telegraph 日報在介紹他們認為最佳一百裡面,有段奇文,和大家分享,香港朋友的英語程度比我還高,所以只是翻譯了提綱。
這些評論,不無道理,但也不能盡信。 但是很好的參考。
The Classical Rules
聆聽古典的金規玉律
1 Variety is the spice of life
多姿多彩,照亮人生
No single conductor or performer is good at everything. Buying up the works of only one maestro is silly, so don’t do it – or mention you ever did it.
2 Names don’t matter
名氣並不重要
Note down all the most obvious choices – for conductors: Karajan, Ashkenazy and Levine; for piano, Kissin and Lang Lang – and throw everything you have by them away. There are exceptions (Karajan’s opera) but by and large these strutting maestros have bought space in your brains by being shrewd, not musical – though the two can go together (Bernstein).
3 Learn to speak German
學習德語
For German repertoire remember the six Ks: Knappertsbusch, Keilberth, Kempe, Klemperer and father and son Erich and Carlos Kleiber. And never forget Furtwängler. Hunt them down and drop them into conversation. Subtly. Try alliteration.
4 Buy British
老英精品
Be sure to have something by each of three British Bs: Beecham’s Haydn or Mozart; Boult’s Brahms or Berg; Barbirolli’s Verdi or Vaughan Williams.
5 The greatest players
偉大的鋼琴家們
Pianist names to know: Lhévinne, Friedman, Lipatti, Solomon, Curzon, Ogdon, Haskil, Richter, Moravec, Argerich, Hough. In pianophile company, you can never talk about the French Vichy collaborator Alfred Cortot enough.
6. String theory
弦樂理論
String quartets to know: Busch, Hollywood, Végh, Hungarian, Griller, Amadeus, Guarneri, Talich.
7 The label matters
牌子也重要
If you want to get the very best, there’s no avoiding the biggies: DG, EMI, Decca and Sony’s RCA Red Seal. No collection, however, would be complete without several items from Hyperion, Bis, Harmonia Mundi and Pentatone. Naxos often offers hidden gems.
8 Buy vintage
追舊演奏錄音
For the most ambitious social climbers among you, scratchy old reissues are a must. Try Dutton, Testament and Naxos Historical.
9 The new classics
新古典作家
Late 20th-century composers you should profess to like: Boulez, Messiaen, Ligeti, Grisey, Birtwistle, Stockhausen, Xenakis, Berio, Dallapiccola. And those that you might actually enjoy: Messiaen, Ligeti, Rautavaara, Silvestrov, Adams, Reich, Glass, Copland, MacMillan.
10 Names to avoid
要避開的名字
Karajan, Ashkenazy, Kissin, Lang Lang, Maazel, Mrs Mills and Richard Clayderman. Forget you ever knew these people. |
