樂曲解說
撰文│顏華容 (俄羅斯國立莫斯科柴可夫斯基紀念音樂院鋼琴演奏博士)
摩德士特•穆索斯基: 《荒山之夜》(林姆斯基-高沙可夫改編) 《荒山之夜》名氣大,版本多、創作過程也 曲折。其實許多人「習慣」的《荒山之夜》並非 穆索斯基的原作,而是好友林姆斯基-高沙可夫 的補遺。1860年,穆索斯基給恩師巴拉基列夫信 中提到自己由果戈爾的作品發想出一首有關巫術 與安息日的音樂,《荒山之夜》自此醞釀。但穆 索斯基生活相當「隨興」,過了七年才又對林姆 斯基-高沙可夫洋洋得意吹噓自己僅用十二天、 恰好趕在六月二十三日聖約翰節晚上完成「為管 絃樂團譜寫的音畫」《聖約翰節的荒山之夜》, 並指出此作「絲毫不含德國味」,是「俄國土地 種出來的俄國穀物」。 以《展覽會之畫》聞名於世的穆索斯基的獨
創性與想像力與他缺乏紮實音樂專業訓練恰成正 比,《聖約翰節的荒山之夜》的和聲與配器的確 粗暴原始,連身為提倡俄國本土音樂的「五人 組」老大哥的巴拉基列夫都搖頭,但穆索斯基仍 愛惜自己的原創不打算修改。 1871 年,穆索斯 基意圖將此舊作與皇家歌劇院恰巧同題材的委託 創作結合,然共同創作計畫無疾而終,悵然所失 的穆索斯基再度嘗試將《荒山之夜》的材料塞 進自己的歌劇《撒拉欽奇的市集》(Sorochyntsi Fair)作為間奏曲,努力仍成空,未能聽到心愛 的題材演出的穆索斯基撒手西歸。1886年,整理 故友遺物的林姆斯基-高沙可夫發現最後版本, 將之修訂並重新配器,此曲在管絃樂配器妙手林 姆斯基-高沙可夫妙手「調整」下大受歡迎。 穆索斯基可說是「音樂點子王」,但轉場、 架構能力顯然非其強項,穆索斯基原作的音程 與刻意以銅管樂器演奏癲狂般快速又極度不和 諧的小二、增四、大七度等素材,都能準確將
3︱百分百伏特加
荒山之巔群魔亂舞的瘋狂場景投射在聆聽者心目 中。比對穆索斯基原版與林姆斯基-高沙可夫改 寫版,原版不僅有合唱團發出強悍咒怨、管絃樂 亦如獸吼般濃烈;女巫們大吼崇拜魔王的爆發力 在改寫版中轉化為神祕的木管重奏、整體聲響清 瘦不少、但也使得音樂輪廓清晰易懂。黑魔王 ( Chornobog )以長號與低音號齊奏的威嚴旋律 顯現後,樂曲就藉由泛斯拉夫民族歌舞的快舞段 (Friska)風格,音調由低轉高、速度扶搖而上,正 當我們似乎能看到女巫惡魔們在空中隨著絃樂凌 厲弓法在銅管轟隆巨響中呼嘯而過時,微弱清脆 的鐘聲明白指出天已破曉,全曲即以民歌素樸旋 律結束。 林姆斯基-高沙可夫他將穆索斯基最後為歌 劇的合唱版本剪除冗長的轉接段落、以自己著名 的配器技巧將之打亮磨光,然而這種「洗練」感 還是來自深植於相當「德國」的研究結果,而非 穆索斯基原意的俄國土壤;改編重組使得《荒山 之夜》得以走紅且長存音樂史,但若追索穆索斯 基原版那「滿是缺點的完整」的大膽創意亦令人 讚嘆不已。
彼得•伊里亞•柴科夫斯基: 第一號鋼琴協奏曲 以雄壯號聲揭開氣勢磅礡序幕的柴科夫斯基 第一號鋼琴協奏曲不僅是當今最著名的鋼琴協奏 曲之一,也影響了錄音時代許多愛樂者對於鋼琴 協奏曲聲響的印象。不少人知道作曲家原屬意題 贈此曲予莫斯科音樂院的創辦人,尼可萊・魯賓 斯坦(Nikolai Rubinstein),詎料未獲期盼中的 熱烈回應;李斯特的大弟子-鋼琴家兼指揮家, 馮畢羅(Hans von Bülow)慨允為之首演,此曲 一百四十年來受歡迎的程度亦佐證柴科夫斯基勇 敢結合東西歐音樂語彙、跨越時代藩籬的勇氣歷 久彌新。 歷來鋼琴協奏曲以獨奏與樂團競奏、互相呼 應為原則,然而管絃樂團的體積與配器總以眾星 拱月為原則,即便是李斯特、布拉姆斯鋼琴協奏 曲,也很少有長時間以壯大豐厚管絃樂聲響「挑 戰」鋼琴獨奏者體力、更以融入藝術化的俄羅 斯、烏克蘭民樂歌舞素材的複雜韻律表達作曲者 對鋼琴演奏技巧的崇高理想。
德米特里•蕭斯塔科維契:第六號交響曲 若說世界因柴科夫斯基(Пётр Ильич Чаковский, 1840-1893)與拉赫瑪尼諾夫(Сергей
Васильевич Рахманинов, 1873-1943)而 耳聞俄羅斯音樂的魅力,那麼普羅柯菲夫 (Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, 1891-1953) 與蕭斯塔科維契(Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович, 1906-1975)之於世界樂壇而 言,可謂之蘇聯時期藝術音樂的代表了。 然而,他們的作品卻也留下 1930~1950 年代間,蘇聯政治明爭暗鬥、權力傾軋對 藝文創作的影響,「大整肅」(Большой террор)時期遭遇的創作箝制與政爭凌虐的 印記,成為他們在二次世界大戰時期的創作 土壤。他們兩人對於新政府、新政體充滿理 想憧憬,卻在這個自己期期以盼的新世界受 到無理的待遇;兩人皆在二次大戰前與後遭 受史達林及其黨羽恣意箝制,創作動輒得 咎,成天擔驚受怕,親朋好友各個「我不殺 伯仁、伯仁因我而死」。 一心想成為作曲家的拉赫瑪尼諾夫以指 揮與鋼琴家走出專業生涯,而一心想成為鋼 琴家的蕭斯塔科維契在蕭邦大賽失利後,轉 而潛心譜曲;來自鋼琴家的演奏訓練使他能 夠多關照器樂操作者的視角,而貝多芬對其 創作理念與技巧的影響,明顯地展現於側重 交響曲與絃樂四重奏寫作上。蕭斯塔科維契 一生共發表過十五部交響曲,其中所謂的蕭 五、七、八、十、十一、十三,近年來由於 研究資材交流愈來愈方便,漸漸不再僅限於 曾經擔任蕭氏作品首演重責的聖彼得堡獨門 絕活,也成其他地區樂團與指揮家的重點曲 目。要認識蕭斯塔科維契的作品,就不能忽 略時空背景對作曲家產生的影響。若說舒曼 是音樂史上最酷愛使用「典故」的作曲家, 那麼蕭斯塔科維契就是承此脈絡,「不得 不」樂此不疲者;因為,在一個動輒得咎的 時空中,似假又真的各種「說法」,作曲家 是無法忠於自己的。 總是洞悉悲傷、斷然不肯乖乖譜寫些洗 腦歌的蕭斯塔科維契一直是史達林的眼中 釘。1936年一月,《真理報》開第一槍,刊 出〈胡搞瞎搞絕非音樂〉(«Сумбур вместо музыки»)及〈山寨芭蕾〉(«Балетная фальшь»)兩篇(很可能是史達林撰寫或授 意的)公開聲討蕭斯塔科維契文章,相當於 宣示史達林掌權的文藝蜜月期結束,蘇共黨 中央正式展開對文藝創作箝制,白色恐怖鋪 天蓋地而來。因《米謙斯克區的馬克白夫 人》(Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District) 觸怒當權者,蕭斯塔科維契心知自己的創作 與黨中央的心意之間已經沒有灰色地帶。

蕭斯塔科維契上承貝多芬遺澤,精確深刻研 究作曲家的創見與曲式的互動關係,或許也由於 蕭斯塔科維契如此明顯而確切地承接貝多芬的音 樂理想,自詡為貝多芬愛好者、經常潛入劇院、 音樂廳「檢查」創作者思想的史達林對蕭斯塔科 維契益發憎恨吧? 蕭斯塔科維契只得轉而進行更加抽象、較難 以被入罪的器樂曲、電影配樂、爵士樂隊組曲、 甚至也開始依革命先賢馬亞科夫斯基的詞來創作 「列寧交響曲」,不過最後刪除文字,第六號交 響曲仍舊以純器樂曲面貌出現。 「第六號交響曲與第五號的悲劇與張力極強 個性截然不同。我最新的這部交響曲以沉思與抒 情為基調。我想表達的是春天、快樂、青春。」 蕭斯塔科維契在廣播訪談中這樣描述第六號交響 曲。 於是,在列寧格勒的首演大獲成功,第三樂 章還被拿來當作返場(安可)曲,當地樂評盛讚 作曲家朝向脫離形式主義又邁進了一大步,可別 認為這樣就能躲過指謫,第六號交響曲仍動輒得 咎、隨時被拿出來鞭:它只有三個樂章(傳統交 響曲有四個樂章)、第一樂章比第二、第三樂章 加起來還長(形式主義)、第一樂章竟是慢速度 而第二樂章是詼諧曲(破壞交響曲應有的形式、 聽起來好像從第二樂章開始演奏)…到底作曲家 想以這種以曲式結構的潛台詞批評(意料中的) 無知迂腐的評論,還是用表面的輕巧「易消化」 嘲笑「只能聽得懂這麼多」的黨中央呢? 蕭斯塔科維契在第六號交響曲改變交響曲結 構思維,揚棄一般奏鳴曲快板一剛一柔主題互相 映照、各自陳述的二元論形式:第一樂章的第 一、二主題間沒有橋段,而是利用核心動機技巧 將第一主題建立於小三度音程、第二主題圍繞減 七度生成,第一與第二主題的核心動機相融生成 一個「超級」主題,彷彿蕭斯塔科維契指導有耐 心聆聽的聽眾如何聽音樂似的,這些主題材料由 低音絃樂器獨白開始,漸次向外擴張似地,一下 子就得到了整個樂團極頂與極低音域的回應;在 第一樂章彰顯的不是主題與主題各顯個性的概 念,反而是各個樂器一次又一次對各主題材料陳 述的反思過程。 第二樂章亦以樂器獨白開始,這次由素來被 賦予活潑個性的降 E 調單簧管擔任,在一個總長 約三十分鐘的交響曲中,作曲家強烈要求聽者給 第一樂章近乎二十分鐘的耐心,接下來爆出「蕭 迷」們必定認得出、充滿典型蕭斯塔科維契快速 樂章中快速且毫不斷句、奔跑式的音樂,樂團中 各種高音域樂器無不輪番上陣,各個接手空中飛

Program Notes Modest Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain (arr. Rimsky-Korsakov)
In a July 5, 1867 letter to Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, Modest Mussorgsky wrote "(I have) finished St. John's Night on Bald Mountain, a musical picture with the following program: (1) assembly of the witches, their chatter and gossip; (2) cortege of Satan; (3) unholy gratification of Satan; and (4) witches' sabbath." Mussorgsky proclaims "in form and character my composition is Russian and original. Its tone is hot and chaotic.... St. John's Night is something new and is bound to produce a satisfactory impression...." The impression was not so satisfactory for Mily Balakirev, who rejected the work in 1869 from consideration for a Free School concert. Balakirev sent the manuscript back to Mussorgsky bearing handwritten marks such as the comment "Rubbish!" in the margins. Later, under the spell of Liszt's Totentanz, Mussorgsky considered refashioning the movement as a piano/orchestral work, but nothing came of this plan. In May 1877, Mussorgsky drew up the scenario of his comic opera Sorochintsy Fair, proposing an extensive revision of the St. John's Night music as an Intermezzo opening the third act. Mussorgsky completed this part of the opera in 1880, retaining music from (1) and (3) of the original work, and adding new material. Identified as "Dream of the Young Peasant Lad," this also had a new program: as a boy dreams on a hill, he is threatened by inhuman voices and finds himself mocked in the realm of shadows. The voices warn of the Devil and the "Black God" Chernobog; as the shadows fade, both

appear. Chernobog is glorified, a Black Mass is sung, and a Witches' Sabbath breaks out. As a church bell intones, Chernobog disappears and the demons writhe in agony. A church choir sings, the demons fade away, awakening the boy. Mussorgsky was never to complete Sorochintsy Fair. In 1867 letter quoted above, Mussorgsky wrote RimskyKorsakov "I should like us to examine the orchestration together (...) we might clear up many things." RimskyKorsakov fulfilled his end of the bargain in 1886, five years after Mussorgsky's death, in producing Night on Bald Mountain (also "Night on the Bare Mountain"). This was the "Lad's Dream" music, minus its choral parts and with its abrupt, dramatic effectual "stings" removed. The first half of the second section was removed, and RimskyKorsakov dropped most of the major-key material save a brief fanfare figure. The whole work was subjected to a streamlining of orchestration and meter, and divided into symmetrical sections. Rimsky-Korsakov has often been accused of "composing" the "Matins Bell" section that concludes Bald Mountain, but in truth the music is all Mussorgsky's save the final flute trio at the very end. The Rimsky-Korsakov edition was an immediate worldwide success from the day it was launched and helped to establish Mussorgsky's name. It remains the most popular version of Mussorgsky's famous piece, although the original versions are available in modern editions and are revived to acclaim as well. Some conductors, such as Claudio Abbado and Esa-Pekka Salonen, have made personal specialties of the 1867 version.
concerto to Taneyev, but eventually decided to show his gratitude with a dedication to Hans von Bülow. Various revisions were made before publication in 1879 and again before a further publication of the work in 1889 in which the familiar opening piano chords were differently arranged over a wider range of the keyboard and without arpeggiation. The first movement starts with an opening section in the relative major key of D flat and originally marked Andante non troppo e molto maestoso, with the first word later modified to Allegro. This very memorable introduction is followed by the exposition, marked Allegro con spirito. Here the first subject, derived from a Ukrainian folk-song, leads to a more lyrical second subject, introduced by the orchestra and taken up by the soloist, before the orchestra moves to the second part of the subject. This material provides the substance of the central development and the recapitulation, which includes a written cadenza. The slow movement has a gently lilting first theme, introduced by the flute, and includes, at its centre, a scherzo-like Prestissimo, based on a French tune, Il faut s'amuser et rire. The finale starts with a theme based on a Ukrainian folksong and a secondary element, both of which are fully exploited in a conclusion of great brilliance. © 2015 Naxos Digital Services Ltd

Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 6, Op. 54, B minor Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23
Tchaikovsky wrote his Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor towards the end of 1874 and played it through to Nikolay Rubinstein, director of the Moscow Conservatory, on Christmas Eve, 5th January 1875 in Western dating, seeking advice on the lay-out of the solo part. Rubinstein's response was one of utter and devastating condemnation. The concerto was worthless and unplayable, with trite and awkward passages, bad, tawdry and borrowed. Tchaikovsky, diffident at the best of times, was appalled by this reaction, which he took personally, later attributing it to Rubinstein's petty tyranny. Nevertheless the work survived, with a successful first performance by Hans von Bülow in Boston in October, followed by a performance in St Petersburg and a more successful performance in Moscow under Nikolay Rubinstein, with the composer's young pupil Sergey Taneyev as the soloist. Rubinstein later took the work into his own concert piano repertoire. Its immediate reception was mixed. The concerto has gone on, however, to arouse popular enthusiasm, and, in consequence, occasional critical disdain, the latter stemming largely from the wide popularity of the work and, not least, from the brood of lesser concertos that it has in part inspired. Tchaikovsky contemplated dedicating the
Shostakovich wrote his Sixth Symphony in 1939, starting it in April and completing the work in October. The pre-war years had brought great suffering and the death of musicians, actors, writers and poets, in Stalin's desire for political orthodoxy and the establishment of art that reflected the principles of Socialist Realism. By 1939, however, it had proved necessary to consider a nonaggression pact with Hitler's Germany, eventually signed in August 1939, on the eve of Hitler's attack on Poland. Political circumstances dictated a less rigorous control of music, which would prove to have propaganda value abroad, if couched in more conventional bourgeois terms. The Sixth Symphony, however, written under what might be regarded in part as more favorable conditions, proved puzzling to contemporary critics. It was first performed in Leningrad on 5th November 1939 under the conductor Mravinsky at a Festival of Soviet Music which also included first performances of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky cantata and of Shaporin's On the Field of Kulikovo, these two works of obvious and immediate patriotic appeal. Shostakovich, perhaps as a subterfuge, had promised a symphony on the subject of Lenin. The new symphony was no such thing. Instead there was a three-movement work, starting not with a symphonic
6︱百分百伏特加
first movement but an extended brooding Largo, followed by two very much shorter movements, relatively light-hearted in vein. The Sixth Symphony is scored for an orchestra of piccolo, pairs of flutes and oboes, cor anglais, a pair of clarinets with an additional E flat clarinet and bass clarinet, two bassoons and double bassoon, three trumpets, four horns, three trombones and tuba, timpani, tambourine, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam and xylophone, harp, celesta and strings. The instrumentation provides the opportunity for wide varieties of orchestral colour, but is some way from the extravagant instrumentation of the Fourth Symphony. The opening Largo is sombre in mood, based on elements of its principal theme, announced at the beginning of the movement and a later closely related theme for cor anglais. The music leads through an extended meditative passage for two flutes to the return of aversion of the opening, proceeding, as the sound dies away, to the end of the movement. The influence of Bach has been suggested, in particular of the St. Matthew Passion, a work Shostakovich was studying with students at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he had recently been appointed professor of composition. The second movement, in what might seem ironic juxtaposition, is opened by the pert E flat clarinet, accompanied by the plucked strings of the violins. A dynamic climax, followed by the timpani, leads to are turn of an inverted version of the opening and finally to an ending marked in the wind pppp. The last movement starts in an ironic mood recalling that of Prokofiev in the Classical Symphony in a world of Mahlerian variety, with elements of the banal included in a truer reflection of the universal than Socialist Realism, with its descent into popular philistinism, could propose. © 2015 Naxos Digital Services Ltd
