我可以毫不夸张的宣称,在莫扎特短短的35年流星般的岁月面前,所有近现代中国人的生命和成就叠加起来都黯然失色。
我感脚你出国前的想法还是偏激了点。 只能说这东西真没法这么来比,还是就事论事地听音乐比较实在。莫扎特可以算是我最喜欢的一个音乐时代的最后一个标杆,浪漫主义时期开始之后,我就开始晕头转向了。
在这里贴一段我崇拜得五体投地的Nikolaus Harnoncourt大人关于莫扎特的文字:
Precisely here lies, in my opinion, the root of our current misunderstanding of pre-revolutionary music. I contend that we understand Mozart just as little as Monteverdi when we reduce him to the merely beautiful, which is done more often than not. We turn to Mozart in order to savor, to be enchanted by beauty. In reviews of especially beautiful Mozart performances, we read again and again of "Mozartian bliss," a frequent cliché. But if we take a closer look at works about which this cliche is used, we must ask ourselves: Why "Mozartian bliss"? His contemporaries describe Mozart's music as extremely rich in contrasts, vivid, stirring, heart-wrenching; which qualities were the focus of contemporary critics' attacks on his works. How could such music be reduced, in 150 years, to "bliss," to aesthetic enjoyment? |
