一趟深入人心幽微處的探險

與音樂總監呂紹嘉面對面

問：NSO 今年將演奏兩首蕭斯塔科維契（之後以「蕭氏」簡稱）規模最大的交響曲（第四號與第七號），並以第四號作為開季曲目，請問是否有特別意義呢？答：我認為蕭氏是二十世紀最重要的交響樂作曲家，而第四號更是他十五首交響曲中最特別、最偉大的作品。如同早他近半世紀的馬勒一般，蕭氏的交響樂規模宏大，縱深遼闊，每一首都猶如一個世界。不同的是，身處在高壓的蘇維埃共產世界，在風聲鶴唳的大環境下，他的創作經常深陷藝術信念與政治正確的拉扯，每首作品都與當時周遭的政治環境息息相關。也可能因此，他後半生發展出一套隱晦的、似乎暗藏密碼的音樂語彙。我常想，他要是生長在自由世界，音樂會是怎樣？或許不見得更偉大，但肯定會更前衛，而第四號就是一部可讓人循此方向做無邊想像的奇 6 NSO 2018 19

作，因為它是青年蕭氏 ( 不滿三十）尚未經歷日後兩度慘烈批鬥，純粹聽從自己藝術理念的傾力之作，也是他交響創作的分水嶺─此後他大致確立了自己交響曲形式與語彙，而同時也偏離了尖銳的激進路線。年輕的蕭氏是狂放不羈的，而難得的是，第四號除了狂放外，還有深邃的靈魂，它像啟示錄一般，透過描繪個人的恐懼，預示了日後的人類浩劫。終曲以無比駭人的樂團總奏狂掃生靈，最後卻以緲緲上行的鋼片琴音，似有似無地結束全曲，如一縷殺戮戰場遺留的輕煙，也像一線世界末日餘存的人性光輝，緩緩上升。這是我見過最具象、最震撼、最深刻的交響曲尾奏。十多年前，我指揮 NSO 演過此曲，此後樂團沒有再碰過它，現在我決定在開季推出，一來希望引

起更多愛樂者對此作的注意，二來也期待跟樂團透過多年培養的默契，為此曲締造出更深刻完美的詮釋。第七號是最長大，最具史詩性的作品。光看標題的「列寧格勒」就清楚顯示了它有如紀錄片般的歷史感，這是在二戰圍城期間完成並首演的作品，每次想到這段故事、聽到這首交響曲，我都很感動，也更加相信音樂的無形力量，因為當時的音樂家與聽眾都是冒著生命危險去完成這場音樂會的。此曲因其外顯的愛國意識及政治因素而在大戰期間風行全球，戰後一段時間在俄國之外鋒頭漸失。但其藝術價值其實是暗藏在金鼓齊鳴之間，處處閃爍的人性關懷與光輝，而且蕭氏在曲前所言的「對抗法西斯」，其實是暗指所有的暴力強權（所以也可包括史達林）。這也是近年來愈來愈多樂團重新認知其價值及重燃起對它興趣的原因。

問：這個樂季仍有幾首莫札特的重要作品，包括第二十五號交響曲、安魂曲、單簧管協奏曲， NSO 也將莫札特與「駐團音樂家」魏德曼並列在音樂會節目上。請問魏德曼擔任「駐團音樂家」要做些什麼呢？答：演莫札特是永遠不嫌多的，因為他是所有音樂人的明鏡與清泉。我會將魏德曼與他排在一起，除了因為魏德曼是當代德國最傑出作曲家之一，也將以獨奏家身份演奏莫札特單簧管協奏曲；他自在悠遊於作曲、演奏、指揮，以赤子之心面對音樂的態度，都讓我想起莫札特。聽他興奮的分析一首韋伯或莫札特的樂曲，信手捻來道出其中一般人不會注意到的玄妙，你會以為這些兩百年前的曲子像是昨天才寫好的，也因此你會了解，音樂作品可以沒有「現代」與「古代」之分，只有是否具備「創意」與「巧思」的差別，一個好作品，可以永遠不老。魏德曼這種橫跨創作與演奏及視全方位為理所當然的自由思想，讓我決定請他來擔任我們的「駐團音樂家」。他很易親近，也很健談，我非常希望，大家能把握這難得機會，多多跟他交流。

問：在這個樂季，將會演出《齊格飛》。這是指環系列第三部，您有什麼感想嗎？您從臺灣面對《指環》的反應，您有什麼觀察嗎？答：四年的《指環》大製作，除了對 NSO 的藝術深度、廣度更提昇之外，另一個重大意義是樂團實際參與了臺中國家歌劇院從開幕到今天茁壯的過程，也為臺中地區的歌劇發展盡了一份力。華格納《指環》是歌劇劇碼中的帝王，內容之龐大與錯綜複雜，無論對演唱、演奏、製作者都是最嚴苛的挑戰，也因此，能完整推出《指環》製作，除了顯示了我們劇場從上到下的整個運作水準外，也是個重要文化指標。而我對臺灣的聽眾接受力，向來都是很有信心的（事實也證明，我們常常「低估」了聽眾）。而且，這是一個有著一流水準歌唱家、製作群組、很「好看」的製作。對一座剛在臺灣開幕的歌劇院，花四年（一年推出一部）來完成《指環》的演出，好處是有時間「消

化」與「累積」。從《萊茵黃金》到《女武神》的短短一年，在與團隊碰到許多困難到解決問題、在與聽眾互動的過程中，我感覺到一股持續擴散的正面能量，這是一個互動的循環。我希望對我們大家，包括聽眾；這四年是一個不斷累積、不斷超越自己的過程。期待到《齊格飛》到《諸神黃昏》時，這個經驗與能量能發揮到最大值，並對臺灣的歌劇發展產生持續及決定性的影響。

問：在歌劇方面，還有《托斯卡》與《藍鬍子公爵的城堡》，可否請您談一談這兩場歌劇音樂會？答 : 有了與國家表演藝術中心其他場館合作的歌劇計畫（臺中《齊格飛》，衛武營《憨第德》），我決定明年 NSO 自製的歌劇，要有不同、屬於自己的風格：以音樂為焦點，輔以簡約的舞臺設計，以 Semi-stage 方式在音樂廳演出。而腦中第一個閃出的念頭，就是再度推出林懷民過去以「一桌二椅」概念所執導的《托斯卡》。它樸素簡潔、在地親民的呈現方式，除了充分讓音樂說話外，易於移動到各處演出推廣更是此製作的中心概念。我個人很期待我與林老師的首度合作，而將此製作帶到臺北之外演出，讓更多人接觸到浦契尼這齣寫實名劇，也是我們共同的願望。樂季壓軸的巴爾托克《藍鬍子公爵的城堡》，是結合了上述巴爾托克與維也納世紀末、 Semi-stage Opera 概念的一場歌劇音樂會。《藍》劇是巴爾托克唯一的歌劇，他以多彩豐富，充滿象徵的音樂語彙，將此以童話為本的傳說塑造為神秘驚悚的心理劇：在一小時的男女主角對話中，因茱蒂特好奇而一扇扇被打開的門，揭開的只是表面的答案與更加深的內心疑懼，如此一步步、不可自拔的走入大災難。這是一齣象徵意味濃厚、不斷拋出人性底層問題、不給解答、讓聽者去思考的戲。上半場則安排了荀貝格的絃樂名作《昇華之夜》，這是一部如華格納的《崔斯坦與依索德》式的纏綿悱惻音樂。濃厚的世紀末與神秘的夜晚氛圍，正與陰暗隱晦的藍鬍子遙相對應。

問：從布拉姆斯、馬勒、巴爾托克、魏本、貝爾格、荀貝格，這些作曲家的作品一直出現在您的指揮曲目中。十九世紀末到二十世紀初「守舊」與「激進」這兩個作曲脈絡的嬗遞與激盪，對您有特別的吸引力嗎？答：十九世紀末到與二十世紀一次大戰前後，是近代歐洲音樂最精彩的一段時期。在這交織著已達飽和極致、即將分崩離析的浪漫王朝，與蓄勢待發、風起雲湧的現代主義之 8 NSO 2018 19

「世紀末」，有著太多挖掘不盡的管絃樂寶藏，值得我們一再探索。布拉姆斯，這位浪漫主義的中流砥柱，是我們這個主題的起點，藉由密集演出多首他的交響曲及變奏曲，我們可尋訪他如何以堅實嚴謹的古典形式，注入浪漫深情、雄渾澎湃的樂思，直接影響到其他駐足維也納的後繼者。從布拉姆斯、馬勒到荀貝格、貝爾格、魏本，我們看到的是世紀末德奧音樂的傳承與創新的碰撞過程，這是我們在下半樂季的節目重點。與此並列，做為對比的是幾首巴爾托克的音樂，我想讓大家感受；在同時代、在維也納附近、同屬「奧匈帝國」的布達佩斯，有個多麼截然不同的、狂野剛勁的音樂靈魂。

問：NSO 也安排了包括伯恩斯坦、巴伯、柯普蘭、蓋希文等美國作曲家的作品。以您的觀察，臺灣的聽眾對美國作曲家的反應如何？您認為「美國作曲家」（籠統而言）精彩之處在哪裡？答：就知名度與多樣性而言，伯恩斯坦可說是二十世紀美國音樂家第一人。他指揮、鋼琴、作曲、教學、論述樣樣在行。2018 年是他誕生百年紀念，我們特別在 12 月，以伯恩斯坦為主軸安排了三場美國音樂節目，也將應衛武營之邀演出他的歌劇《憨第德》。美國音樂不能一概而論，若要籠統形容，就是如其文化般，是民族大融爐，伯恩斯坦的作品就是個好例子。他是博學遊走於各家各派的天才，音樂中純熟運用歐洲各時代風格，黑人靈歌、福音歌曲、好萊塢、百老匯、爵士、pops、南美音樂等，加上自己絕佳的音樂性與戲劇感，整個以一種直率，無忌憚的方式表達出來。他的作品幅員遼闊，包括訴求極其嚴肅的交響樂巨構（可惜在這一部分他至今尚未得到大眾足夠的迴響）。讓他以作曲家身份傳世的，主要是一些音樂劇、電影音樂或歌劇選曲，這些也是我們這次配合歲末氣氛特別選擇的曲目（小夜曲除外，這是主題較「嚴肅」的作品），此外，我們挑選多首蓋希文，柯普蘭等人膾炙人口的傳世名作，配合林昭亮、嚴俊傑、林品任等傑出獨奏家，期待跟大家共度幾個愉悅盡興的「美國」夜晚。（訪問整理／吳家恆）

Those Wild and Vigorous Musical Spirits Through the Eyes of Shao-Chia LĂź Interviewed by Chia-Heng Wu

Q: This year, the NSO will be performing two of Shostakovich's largest symphonies (the Fourth and the Seventh), with the Fourth featured on the season's opening concert. Is there any particular reason behind this choice? A: I feel that Shostakovich is the most important symphonist of the 20th century, and the Fourth symphony, among his fifteen symphonies, is the grandest and most unique. Like Mahler a half-century before him, Shostakovich's symphonies are of enormous scope and great depth. Each piece builds up its own universe. What's different is the unsettling environment of the Communist Soviet Union, and in this tense climate, the composer's creativity was deeply conflicted between his artistic vision and political correctness of the time. Each piece has a very delicate relationship with the political climate of the time. Perhaps that's why in the latter half of his life, Shostakovich developed a sort of hidden vocabulary, almost like a secret code. I often think about if he had been in the other side of Iron Curtain, what would his music be like? Perhaps it would be less great, but it certainly would have been more avant-garde. The Fourth symphony is a piece that helps us think along these lines, because it was written by a young Shostakovich, not yet 30, a man who had not yet suffered two scathing public denunciations. We hear the realization of the composer's artistic concept in its purest form, his watershed moment as a symphonist. After this, he had more or less established his symphonic model and vocabulary, and at the same time departed from his radical, extremist path. The young Shostakovich was wild and uninhibited, and in the Fourth, we have a rare glimpse of Shostakovich as not only wild, but possessive of a profound spirit. It is like the Apocalypse, foretells future calamities of mankind through describing his own fears. The finale is an astonishing movement, with the thrilling tutti of orchestra sweeps the souls; and in the end, we hear a faint chime from celesta, brings the entire piece to an end, almost imperceptibly, like a thin plume of smoke rising from a battlefield, bearing the dignity of doomsday survivors. This is the most tangible, stunning, profound end to a symphony that I've seen. I conducted this piece with the NSO more than a decade ago, and we haven't touched it since. I've decided to perform it as part of our season opening for two reasons. First, I hope to draw more attention to this 10 NSO 2018 19

piece, and secondly, as the result of a greater rapport with the orchestra, to offer an even more profound interpretation of this work. The Seventh is the longest, most epic of the composer's works. The fact that it bears the title of Leningrad expresses the historical, documentary-like nature of the piece. It was premiered during the siege of the city during the Second World War. The composer and the audience were risking their lives to be in attendance at this performance. I am very moved when I think of the history, hear this piece, and I am convinced more than ever of the intangible power of music.

As a result of the overt nationalistic, political elements in this piece, it became popular worldwide, but sometime after the war, it faded away save for in Russia. However, the artistic value of the work, is hidden behind the warlike atmosphere through which the human spirit is piercing. Shostakovich wrote the piece 'in opposition to Fascism' actually refer to any tyranny or totalitarianism, and thus includes Stalin. This is also the reason that more and more orchestras recognize its value and put it in the repertoires in recent years.

Q: This season also includes some of Mozart's masterpieces, such as the 25th symphony, Requiem, and the clarinet concerto. The NSO also features both Mozart and artist-inresidence Jรถrg Widmann side by side on this year's program. What will Mr. Widmann do as the artist-in-residence? A: One can never overdose on Mozart. He is a spring, a mirror for all musicians. I pair these two names together is based on the fact that Mr. Widmann is one of the most outstanding contemporary German composers today. And he will also serve as soloist for Mozart's clarinet concerto. Mr. Widmann is very much at home as composer, performer and conductor. His purity and sincerity reminds me of Mozart. To listen to Mr. Widmann excitedly analyzing a piece of Weber or Mozart, or elaborating on treasures that one would not take note of, you might mistakenly think that these pieces written two centuries ago were completed just yesterday. This shows that there isn't real difference between 'modern' and 'classical' works, as long as they display creativity and ingenuity. A good piece would never be out of date. It is this crossover between creativity and performance, as well as his comprehensive outlook and free thinking, that brought about the decision to invite him to be our artist-inresidence. He is very approachable, as well as entertaining in conversation. I hope our musicians can take advantage of this rare chance to get to interact with him a bit.

Q: This season, the NSO is also performing Siegfried, the third opera in Wagner's Ring Cycle. How do you feel about this piece? Especially you've already have some knowledge of the local response to the Ring Cycle. A: This four-year Ring Cycle, besides improving the depth and breadth of the NSO's artistry, also means having a part in the opening and thriving process of the National Taichung Theater, putting forth a great effort toward opera in the middle of Taiwan. Wagner's Ring Cycle is a pinnacle of the opera literature, with a wealth of material and great complexity. It is a challenge of the highest order no matter in singing, performing or producing. Therefore, to be able to present a complete Ring Cycle proves not only the quality of the entire operation, but also serves as an important cultural indicator. I have always had faith in the taste of audience in Taiwan. Our production team and singers are also top-notch and able to make a very attractive production. The benefit of performing the Ring Cycle in a new opera house in Taiwan over a four-year period (one opera per year) is that everyone has time to 'digest'. In the year between Das Rheingold and Die Walküre, we faced challenges alongside the orchestra, and interacted with the audience, and I felt the spread of a positive force. This is a positive feedback loop. I hope these four years, for us and also for the audience, is a process of exceeding our own limitations. I expect, when staging Siegfried and Götterdämerung, the experience and energy will culminate to the point that a continuous, decisive influence being exerted on the development of opera in Taiwan.

Q: Speaking of opera, there's also Tosca and Duke Bluebeard's Castle in this season. Could you speak a bit about these two opera concerts? A: Along with Siegfried in Taichung and Candide at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), I hope the operas produced by the NSO will be a bit different, something that is our own. With music as the focus, and a simple stage design, these operas will adopt the form of semi-staged performances. The first thought that comes to mind is to re-stage Tosca, produced by Lin Hwai-Min. This concise production makes room for the music, and is easier to transport and present in different places. I personally am looking very forward to the collaboration with Mr. Lin, and to bring our Tosca to other cities in Taiwan. We hope that more people can enjoy this masterpiece of Verismo by Puccini. Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle, the closing programs of this season, is also an opera-in-concert with 12 NSO 2018 19

the flavor of fin-de-siècle of Vienna. Duke Bluebeard's Castle is the only opera by Bartók, who using a rich, symbolic language, changed this fairytale into a mysterious horror drama: curious Judith opened the doors, one by one, only to raise more questions and deeper fear, culminating in great disaster. This is an opera rich with symbolism, continually raising dark questions of human nature, without giving any answers, forced the audience to think. The first half of the program is Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht, a piece full of pathos, akin to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Also with a rich, mysterious fin-de-siècle atmosphere, it's a contrast to the darkness and gloominess of Bartók .

Q: Brahms, Mahler, BartĂłk, Webern, Berg and Schoenberg, the works of these composers appear regularly in the programs. Does it means that you are attracted by the transformation and conflicts between the conservative and the radical at the turn of the century? A: The period from the end of the 19th century to the outbreak of the First World War was the most spectacular time for European modern music. With the Romantic halls soon to disintegrate, and the everstrengthening fin-de-siĂ¨cle idiom waiting to fill the void, there are so many orchestral treasures to discover. It's a period very worthy of exploration. Brahms, the pillar of the Romantic era, is the point of departure in our programs. We will be performing in succession a number of his symphonies and variations, exploring how he infused a Romantic, vigorous style into a robust, strict classical form, and thus directly influenced his Viennese successors. We see from Brahms to Mahler, to Schoenberg, Berg and Webern the collision of tradition and innovation. This is the main part of the latter half of our season's program. Juxtaposing these ideas, as a contrast, are some pieces of BartĂłk. I would like to invite everyone to appreciate that around the same time, in Budapest, another capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, also existed a wild and vigorous musical spirit quite different from that of Vienna.

Q: The NSO has also planned for performances of pieces from Bernstein, Barber, Copland, Gershwin and other American composers. In your opinion, what is the response of Taiwanese audiences to American composers? A: As for familiarity and diversity, Leonard Bernstein could be said to take first place among American musicians. He was an adept conductor, pianist, composer and educator. 2018 is his 100th anniversary, so we will be featuring his works as the main theme of three 'American' concerts in December, as well as his opera Candide at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) upon their invitation. American music can't be lumped together; to describe it broadly, it's a melting pot, and Bernstein's music is a good example of that. His activities span across so many styles, and effectively used influences from all eras of European music as well as gospel, Hollywood, Broadway, jazz and Latin influences, not to mention his own musical and theatrical aesthetic. It is all conveyed in a straightforward, unbridled way. His works are vast in scope, including serious, large-scale symphonies (it is a pity that these works have not received as great a response from the public). He left his legacy mainly in the form of musicals, film music or opera extracts. These are the pieces that we have chosen for the New Year's Eve Concert (except for his Serenade, which is a more serious piece). We have also selected many popular favorites from Gershwin, Copland and others, together with outstanding soloists like Cho-Liang Lin, Chun-Chieh Yen, Richard Lin and others, and look forward to sharing with you these enjoyable 'American' evenings.

Yin-Fang Chang is a talented conductor of a new generation. The 2015/16 season saw her become Resident Conductor of the NSO, which she had served as Assistant Conductor for a decade previously. Ms. Chang earned high praise for the series 'NSO Forever Tales', collaborated with Sylvia Chang in the NSO 2016 New Year Concert 'Midsummer Magic in Winter' and worked with indie band Sodagreen in 2017. She conducted several well-received educational concerts with the NSO and is passionate about the transformative power of music in society. In March 2012, she conducted Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 at Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival to great acclaim. Later that year she made her debut with Taipei Chinese Orchestra, conducting world premieres of seven contemporary works in 'Tribute to Wen-Chung Chou', which were nominated for the Taishin Arts Award in Performing Arts. Ms. Chang was invited to conduct the same programme again the following year and recorded several works by Wen-Chung Chou. In 2017, she was invited to conduct the Concert of the Presidential Office at Pingtung Performing Arts Center and made her debut with City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. 18 NSO 2018 19

「真正的掌聲應該給指揮張尹芳。她帶領十位團員優雅地完成了一場稱得上是音樂風格的障礙接力賽。……團員們順利通過急轉的樂風，從爵士到百老匯到斯特拉溫斯基式的配樂，卻一點也沒有拖累戲劇性的主線。」 — 英國《金融時報》 "The real applause, though, goes to conductor Yin-Fang Chang , who gracefully led her 10-piece ensemble through a veritable obstacle course of musical styles.... (T)he musicians negotiated quick turns from jazz to Broadway to Stravinsky-like underscoring with no dips in the dramatic through-line." — Financial Times, UK

國家交響樂團 Taiwan Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra 自信而精銳國家交響樂團

交響樂團在每個國家有不同的形成背景，在沒有西方管絃樂傳統的臺灣，過去樂團都以文化教育體系營運。經過三十年耕耘，我們可以驕傲的說，國家交響樂團 (NSO)，從交響樂、室內樂到歌劇，是自信、精銳，有文化意識的「臺灣之音」。國家交響樂團的前身「聯合實驗管絃樂團」，是教育部於 1986 年集合優秀新生代音樂家，以打造頂尖交響樂團為目標而成立的。2005 年成為國立中正文化中心附設團隊，2014 年 4 月改隸國家表演藝術中心，以「臺灣愛樂」立足國際。歷任常任指揮為 Gerard Akoka、Urs Schneider 及音樂總監包括張大勝、林望傑、簡文彬等人。近十年來 NSO 銳意求變，大步朝專業、開放、勇於創新的職業樂團發展，2010 年 8 月，旅德知名指揮呂紹嘉接任 NSO 音樂總監，更將樂團打造為亞洲地區最具指標性的樂團之一。

24 NSO 2018 19

樂團現有 99 名團員，每年樂季演出約 75 場次。2010 年起，音樂總監呂紹嘉以多元化主題貫穿樂季，整合與對比並存的廣博曲目，本著「精緻、深刻、悸動」的信念琢磨出樂團多變細膩的音色與深刻撼人的音樂表現；歌劇演出從跨國製作到深耕國內：《艾蕾克特拉》(2011) 、《蝴蝶夫人》(2012) 、《女武神》 (2013)、《莎樂美》(2014)、《費黛里歐》(2015)、《奧泰羅》(2016) 及《外套》、《修女安潔莉卡》、《強尼．史基基》(2017) 、《帕西法爾》(2018)，每每展現令國際樂評驚豔的製作。呂紹嘉不僅積極拓展樂團演奏近代管絃樂作品的能力，更致力於鞏固精鍊經典名作，同時持續國人管絃樂創作之演出、錄音。2011 年起，呂紹嘉帶領樂團積極展開海外巡演：廣州亞運音樂節 (2011)、東北亞巡演 (2012)、歐洲巡演 (2013、 2017)、兩岸三地巡演 (2015)、北美西岸巡演 (2016、2018) 及韓國巡演 (2018) 等均獲得國際各地樂評的高度讚譽。 30 餘年來與 NSO 合作過的客席指揮家：馬捷爾、巴夏、馬利納爵士、潘德瑞茨基、史拉特金、羅斯托波維奇、柯米希奧納、羅許德茲特溫斯基、霍格伍德、譚盾、凡斯卡、葛拉夫等；及聲樂家芙蕾妮、柯楚芭絲、帕瓦洛帝、多明哥、特菲爾、韓普森；吉他大師耶佩斯、鋼琴家傅聰、拉羅嘉、提博德、寇瓦謝維契、齊柏絲坦、洛提、歐森、白建宇、鄧泰山、薩洛、王羽佳等；大提琴家馬友友、顧德曼、麥斯基、卡普頌、王健、伊瑟利斯、穆勒－修特、嘉碧妲；小提琴家卡瓦科斯、林昭亮、胡乃元、夏漢、明茲、列賓、希拉蕊．韓、宓多里、林以信、陳銳；擊樂家葛魯賓格及其他器樂家莎賓．梅耶、巴伯羅柯、弗黎崔希等千餘位國際知名音樂家。

「他們的蕭斯塔科維契第五號交響曲十分扣人心弦：隨著樂團飛舞的弓弦與宏偉的雄心，他們的演出令人徹底信服。不需西方世界的背書，這個樂團在音樂舞臺絕對佔有一席之地。」 ─奧地利《信使報》2017/3 「完整、豐富且充滿層次感的音色、各聲部之間完美平衡、沒有任何刺耳或粗糙的聲響、精準的節奏感、細緻地掌握力度上的對比、精確地詮釋樂句，整個樂團一致性、不帶有任何遲疑，一股全然的自信與堅定在臺灣愛樂的演奏中恣意流出。」 —《美國唱片指南》 2017/7 "......vor allem bei Schostakowitsch' Symphonie Nr. 5 d-moll war das Ergebnis mitreißend: Es geriet eine Orchestermaschine ins Arbeiten, mit fliegenden Bögen und wuchtigem Wollen, deren Produkt auf (fast) ganzer Linie überzeugen konnte. Da brauchtes kein gut gemeintes westliches Wohlwollen: Das Orchester hat seinen Platz im Konzerthaus wohl verdient." ─ Kurier 2017/3 A full, rich, cultured tone; balance both in sections and the entire ensemble; avoidance of any harsh, raucous, or coarse sounds; rhythmic precision; careful attention to dynamic contrasts; and well-regulated articulation. Everyone enters at precisely the same time; there are no stragglers. A sense of total selfassurance pervades their playing. — American Record Guide 2017/7&8

約格．魏德曼：帶來一劑純粹喜悅、不拘一格的音樂人文／ Flora Willson

揉和古典音樂的過去與現在，這位德國作曲家兼單簧管演奏家為古典音樂寫下令人振奮的新篇章。

數一數你所喜愛的作曲家，有幾位仍然在世？可能很少吧，至少對所謂的古典樂迷來說是如此。甚至「古典」一詞本身就暗示了發生在遙遠的過去，如今只有陳跡可憑弔。在 21 世紀，古典音樂無疑背負著沉重的歷史傳統：最有名、作品最常被演奏的作曲家幾乎都已過世。這也難怪過去 150 年間，樂評時不時會問，古典音樂是不是已經日薄西山了？仍在世的作曲家多方嘗試來處理歷史的重擔。拒絕與／或搗毀可說是上個世紀的最佳寫照。皮耶．布列茲在 1967 年高喊：「炸掉歌劇院！」若在今天，這種象徵式的情緒宣洩恐怕也會讓你惹上許多麻煩。時間再往前推幾十年，荀貝格也曾發展出十二音技法，在古典調性之外另闢極端蹊徑。在大西洋的對岸，在約翰．凱吉的音樂會上，觀眾在一片瀰漫好奇的靜默中，聆聽了一首長達四分三十三秒的無聲樂曲。以一顆謙遜的心，立於經典作品之前而今日，德國作曲家兼單簧管演奏家約格．魏德曼採取一條截然不同的路。他以音樂捕捉到各種音樂的特性，聽見似曾相識的旋律。向過去致敬，又悄悄從巴哈過渡到當代音樂。這些元素撚線成紗，與那複雜又充滿冒險精神的聲音世界交織成一幅精巧的布畫。標準的器樂技法只是個開始，旋律時而稜 28

角分明，時而如夢似幻，時而如詩如歌。他的作品

NSO 2018 19

幾乎感受不到音樂神聖歷史此消彼長所帶來的焦慮。魏德曼的名氣或許不如荀貝格、布列茲或凱吉響亮，但 44 歲的他卻已擁有一系列的作品與知名的委託案。即便在這幾位傑出的前輩面前，也毫不遜色。此外，他也經常被拿來與歷史上的音樂大師比較：

從莫札特到沃夫岡．里姆 ( 魏德曼的恩師之一 )，乃至梅湘、拉亨曼、蕭邦和李斯特。魏德曼特別喜愛演奏舒曼的音樂，甚至在 2009 年為湯姆．塞維奇即興演奏多首舒曼的鋼琴作品。魏德曼的多重身份讓塞維奇為之驚艷：「我以為能一心多用的音樂家在 19 世紀那些偉大的作曲演奏家之後就絕跡了。」魏德曼之所以願意開放心胸接受前人的影響，一個簡單的理由是除了作曲家的身分之外，他也是一位獲獎無數的單簧管演奏家。當時他人在倫敦威格摩音樂廳擔任駐廳音樂家，在一場演出前的座談會上，被問到他用什麼新奇方法，處理古典音樂悠久歷史帶來的壓力？「可能是一顆謙遜的心吧。」他羞澀一笑。「身為演奏家，我每天都在接觸這些經典之作。我愛死他們了，所以我把我的喜愛寫出來。」後設音樂創作將經典樂段入樂這種近乎後設音樂的作法—寫關於其他音樂的音樂—是魏德曼在威格摩音樂廳駐廳時期最新的重頭戲。在一場音樂會上，魏德曼與老朋友中提琴家塔貝爾．齊默曼和鋼琴家德奈什．瓦爾昂先是演奏舒曼作品 132《童話故事》，緊接著原班人馬又演出他 2015 年的三重奏《很久很久以前》。這也是該作在英國的首演。五個樂章的《很久很久以前》充斥舒曼的影子，氣氛歡快。有時候只有極為浪漫的勢態— 只有幾個音，都是強音。有時候，其中一件樂器（通常是魏德曼有如變色龍的單簧管）以小小的失序，削弱曲子的進程，頑強又堅決的出格。帶點暴力又歡快的對比不時在樂曲間竄出，就像一場瘋狂派對的大門忽然洞開，竄出啤酒廳裡低音喇吧的嗡鳴，然後又砰然關上。不過這場跨越歷史的音樂對談有時也會反其道而行。魏德曼、齊默曼和瓦爾昂在一場精彩的演出中，凸顯了舒曼三重奏裡的唐突轉折與複雜層次，到了猖狂的地步，以最怪誕的方式端出了德國浪漫主義。最後獻演莫札特的《九柱戲三重奏》。此曲精緻優美，帶了點興奮的緊張，速度、節奏與樂句又保有彈性，讓真正天人合一的室內樂團能自由發揮。經過魏德曼宛如施加魔咒般的詮釋，看似無害的旋律再現時卻帶有一種令人迷戀又不安的特質。就像某個字不斷重複，到最後幾近崩解邊緣。沒錯，魏德曼的確「不管演奏什麼，都會又踹又叫，把現代感逼出來，」塞維奇寫道。不過魏德曼身為作曲家與演奏家之所以令人難以抗拒，在於他的所作所為之中所具有的純粹喜悅：音樂裡的歡愉蓬勃且發自肺腑，必能結合過去與現在的古典音樂，闖出一條通往未來的路。獲英國《衛報》授權轉載（翻譯／李雨衡）

Jรถrg Widmann: the musical anarchist who brings a hefty dose of sheer joy by Flora Willson

The German composer-clarinettist is fusing classical music's past and present to make an exhilarating future.

How many of your favourite composers are alive today? Probably very few, at least for most lovers of what we now call classical music. Even the term itself suggests an ancient past of which only relics or ruins remain. There's no question that classical music in the 21st century is, for better and worse, a tradition in which the past looms large: of its best known, most often performed composers, the vast majority are dead. No wonder that for the last 150 years, critics have gone through periodic bouts of asking whether classical music is on its last legs. Living composers have adopted various strategies for dealing with this weight of history. For much of the last century, rejection and/or destruction was the name of the game: "Blow up the opera houses!" urged Pierre Boulez in 1967, with the sort of metaphorical panache that could get you into a lot of trouble these days. Decades earlier, Arnold Schoenberg had developed the 12-tone system as a radical alternative to conventional tonality. Across the Atlantic, audiences sat in curious silence for precisely 4 min 33 sec, courtesy of John Cage. Today, German composer-clarinetist Jรถrg Widmann takes an entirely different approach. His music spins an intricate web of characteristic gestures, half-remembered quotations, respectful nods to the past, and sly references, ranging from Bach to his own contemporaries. It's all woven tightly into the fabric of a complex, adventurous sound world in which standard instrumental techniques are only the starting point, where melodies are acutely angular one minute and blurred and dreamlike or generously lyrical the next. There's little anxiety about the encroachment of music's venerable history here.

30 NSO 2018 19

Widmann's name may not be as instantly recognizable as Schoenberg, Boulez or Cage, but, at 44, he has a catalogue of works and high-profile commissions that can stand proudly alongside those illustrious forebears. What's more, he attracts constant comparison to musical luminaries of present and past alike: from Wolfgang Amadeus himself to Wolfgang Rihm (one of his teachers), via Messiaen, Helmut Lachenmann, Chopin and Liszt. Widmann returns time and again to Schumann's music, even providing an impromptu play-through of the latter's piano works for Tom Service in 2009. Service marveled at Widmann's embrace of "the sort of musical multitasking that you thought had gone out of fashion since the great composer performers of the 19th century".

If there's a simple explanation for Widmann's openness to influences from the past, it seems to lie with his parallel, award-winning career as a clarinetist. How to cope creatively with the pressure of that long classical tradition? "I'm humble," he says with an awkward grin, in a pre-performance discussion during his residency at London's Wigmore Hall. "As a player, I'm in touch with these masterworks every day. I love them! So I write pieces about my love." This almost meta-musical approach – writing music about other music – was centre stage in the Wigmore residency's latest instalment. A concert with violist Tabea Zimmermann and pianist Dénes Várjon, both his longtime collaborators, placed the UK premiere of his 2015 trio Es War Einmal...(Once Upon a Time) directly after Schumann's Op. 132 Märchenerzählungen for the same ensemble. The five movements of Es War Einmal... abound in gleeful not-quite-quotations from Schumann's work. At times, only the shapes of high-romantic musical gestures remain – all attack, very little note. Elsewhere, we might be listening to Schumann were it not that one of the instruments (often Widmann's chameleonic clarinet) seems hell-bent on undermining proceedings with small acts of musical anarchy. Violent, exuberant juxtapositions erupt throughout, as if doors to a wild party have suddenly swung open, letting in a blast of frantic beer-hall oompah before slamming shut again. But the transhistorical musical dialogue goes the other way, too. In an exhilarating performance, Widmann, Zimmermann and Várjon emphasised the abrupt gear-changes and complex layerings in Schumann's trio to an extent most wouldn't dare, serving up German romanticism at its weirdest. To close, Mozart's Kegelstatt Trio was a thing of exquisite beauty, simultaneously taut and accommodating the minute, subtle flexibilities of tempo and phrasing that are open to ensembles that play truly as one. Yet even here, in the wake of Widmann's own bewitching reworkings, seemingly harmless melodies took on an obsessive, disturbing quality as they recurred, in danger of disintegrating like a word rendered alien through repetition. So, yes, Widmann does indeed "bring whatever he plays kicking and screaming into the present day", as Service wrote. But what makes him so irresistible as a composer and performer alike is the hefty dose of sheer joy in what he does: the pleasure of vital, visceral musicality that promises to bind together classical music of the past and present – and forge a way into the future.

即使英雄成了懦夫，恐懼也不能吞噬心靈 —

蕭斯塔科維契用交響曲書寫自己文╱焦元溥（倫敦國王學院音樂學博士）

雖然獻給圍城苦戰中的故鄉，考察其中「納粹進行曲」的旋律，草稿竟然在戰事之前，可見那代表的實是人性邪惡，是納粹，也是史達林與 KGB。他把自己姓名化為音樂動機「DSCH」，一再於創作中書寫自己，處處留下真實心意。他在訪問中譴責荀貝格和貝爾格這類「形式主義、資產階級」的音樂，卻在隨後寫下的小提琴奏鳴曲，引用了一大段貝爾格小提琴協奏曲。那手法誠摯高貴，完全是對十二音列技法與貝爾格的致敬。兩相對照，我們知道受訪時的他在演戲。受限於政治環境，蕭斯塔科維契的確無法做太前衛激進的音樂試驗，但在他最好的創作裡，他始終能觸及人性最深、也最共同的情感，讓人深深為之共鳴。追根究柢，這個懦夫其實勇敢，只是把它全都給了音樂。「寧可為信念受苦，也不願為信念殺戮」，列寧格勒圍城最後慘到人獸相食，是近代史上最悲涼的戰役。只要有墨水和稿紙，即使只能向天空揮拳，蕭斯塔科維契化成音符的每一擊都拳拳到肉，記錄人類可以多荒謬，人性又可以多澄澈。第八號

交響曲就是這樣的血淚紀錄。甚至，他也膽敢在鋼索上嬉戲，不惜和史達林抬槓，就是要以諷刺筆法寫下「慶祝勝利」的第九號。即使果然被批鬥，憂患如影隨形，他心知肚明也心甘情願。透過引用和密碼，蕭斯塔科維契創造出屬於自己的音樂語言，也讓人永遠可以多面解讀。既寫大時代創傷，也有個人自傳式的體會感悟，冷戰結束後，蕭斯塔科維契沒有如時人預言的逐漸消失於音樂舞臺，反而更見歷久彌新，正說明他的勇氣終究感動世界，恐懼不能吞噬心靈。

a hero requires bravery, but if bravery costs the lives of family and friends, isn't heroism utter vanity? Do you really have a choice? The 'hero' written by Barnes, a cowardly hero, is the great Russian composer, Dmitri Shostakovich.

Although the secret police didn't come at last, the floating cloud of his didn't disperse. The premiere of the Fourth Symphony was forced to cancel. After pondering for some time, Shostakovich completed his Fifth Symphony as a response to the criticism. Since then his composition took a silent turn. "Many people believed that when Shostakovich was forced to change his style sine the Fifth Symphony, he became a great but not so important composer." Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov, who undertook in-depth research on Shostakovich, reckoned this remark unfair.

and the ensuing trouble, he had no regrets.

Converting from his name, Shostakovich introduced the 'DSCH' musical motif to his work as a way to repeatedly write about himself and leave us clues about what he really meant to say. In an interview, he denounced Schoenberg and Berg's music as formalism and bourgeoisie, but in a violin sonata he wrote later, he quoted an extensive part of Berg's violin concerto. Sincere and noble, the act was an absolute admiration to the twelve-tone technique and Berg. From hindsight, we now know he was acting during the interview. Constrained by the political environment,

With quotation and encryption, Shostakovich created a musical language that not only distinguished himself from the others, but also enabled endless interpretations about his works. Addressing both the trauma of a big era and an autobiographical self-reflection, Shostakovich, contrary to many predicted, has not been eventually forgotten by the public after the civil war; instead, he thrived on the test of time. His courage moved the world after all, proving that fear could never devour his heart.

(Translation by Lewis Lee)

Shostakovich could not push his musical experiment to the extreme. However, in his best composition, his music did not fail to resonate with the audience by touching the deepest human life and tugging at the heartstrings. Beneath the surface, this coward was so brave that he gave it all to music. "Rather to suffer for faith than to kill for faith."

準備指揮他的第一號交響曲世界首演，一面埋頭譜寫與編舞家傑羅姆．羅賓斯合作的首齣芭蕾舞劇《自由的想像》。當時雪莉．蓋比斯（她後來與作曲家喬治．珀爾結婚）曾警告過這位一心多用的指揮，他的勃勃野心與過人天賦恐怕會讓他落得兩頭空。她勸伯恩斯坦：「蘭尼，你仔細想想，好好問問自己，誠實面對自己。難道你的人生目標就是成為最傑出的半吊子嗎？」到了那年年底，伯恩斯坦與羅賓斯都是剛滿 26 歲，這齣芭蕾舞劇被改編為音樂劇《在小鎮上》，初試啼聲就在百老匯博得滿堂彩。到了 1949 年，米高梅將該劇拍成電影，由金凱利與法蘭克．辛納屈領銜主演。這時，伯恩斯坦與羅賓斯正在緊鑼密鼓，籌劃當時還名為《東城故事》的芭蕾舞劇。1957 年年

By the end of that year, when Bernstein and Robbins both turned 26, that ballet had morphed into their first Broadway hit, On the Town. By the time MGM released the film version with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in 1949, Bernstein and Robbins - another ballet under their belt - were mulling a show still being called East Side Story. In late 1957, less than month after Tony and Maria had crossed town and reached Broadway, forever changing the face of musical theatre, Bernstein was appointed music director of the New York Philharmonic, the first American-born and trained musician to lead a major world orchestra.

always good for a laugh, the charming fallibility making his genius less imposing. But again, it revealed how much he treasured the immediacy of the human voice. "Lenny never equated size with profundity," says the pianist Stephen Blier, who premiered and recorded Bernstein's final work, a song cycle entitled Arias and Barcarolles. "If anything, he valued concision when it hit the right target. I always thought he would've gladly traded any of his symphonies to have written just one more classic song that people could hum."

His old assistant St. Clair explains it differently. "He had a childlike love of things," he says. "He found pleasure not from speaking seven languages and having dined with kings and presidents, but rather in the excitement of discovery." The song 'Somewhere' from West Side Story as almost a personal anthem, St. Clair maintains. "That song defined him, and what he was looking for his whole life," he explained. "He was the ultimate searcher for that place where peace and love don't get bogged down by those things we all have to overcome. He believed in that place, and would defy anyone

Celebrating his centennial season, we no longer pine for another West Side Story; we appreciate the one we have. Almost single-handedly, Bernstein forged the template for the modern-day maestro and gave it an American accent. A hundred years on, it's worth asking just what that means.

性世界的絃樂四重奏，闡明古往今來許多觀念與技法的創新，室內樂從不曾缺席過。只可惜多數十九世紀室內樂曲受困於保守傳統的形式與技法束縛，反映對於創新路線脫離傳統根基的鄙視和恐懼，生怕原本純粹的室內樂曲沾染了李斯特、華格納之流的雜濁俗氣。與此不同，布拉姆斯在傳統室內樂的基礎上展現空前的自由精神，與眾不同的配器新方式，不僅增益室內樂的內容、長度與表現力，更使他享有歷史重要地位。藉變奏的轉化技法活用民俗音樂元素按照荀貝格的觀察，布拉姆斯是一位變奏曲大師，擁有極為高明的「發展變奏」（entwickelnde Variation）能力。這項技術讓布拉姆斯可以將一組

短小的基本音樂動機雛型漸次發展、組合、擴張、變化，生長成一闋規模驚人的龐大作品，這在室內樂和交響曲當中特別明顯。他使用有限材料，卻能發揮無窮想像，這種能力除了傳承前人如海頓、貝多芬的技術基礎外，還包括布拉姆斯大量吸收來自酒館娛樂音樂、舞曲或是民樂的「變化」特質。這些富含原創精神的民間音樂原本就經常出現重覆現象，以符合跳舞享樂的實際需求；但在每一次的重覆過程又會現場即興製造些許變動（變奏），避免多次重覆造成的枯燥無趣。布拉姆斯年輕時即已在酒館彈鋼琴，並與匈牙利等不同地區的音樂家往來合作，早已學到這些民間音樂最高明的即興風格典範，從中吸收變奏技法的精髓，讓他的音樂作品一方面顯露風格獨具的民族特質，另一方面展現永遠令人驚豔的新鮮感，達到後人難以企及的藝術高峰。

Similar to Vienna, there were also intensive construction activities in Budapest in the last years of the 19th Century; to the point that the city even witnessed the opening of the first subway system in continental Europe.

三十歲的時候，你在做什麼？剛過完三十生日不久的 NSO，本次樂季開幕帶來兩首作曲家接近三十歲時所寫出的經典。這都成為他們的人生重要里程碑，雖然意義很不一樣。

For the NSO's opening concert this season, Shao Chia Lü has chosen one of the most sensational symphonies in the entire repertory: Shostakovich's Fourth. This hourlong canvas requires a huge orchestra, has solo passages for every instrument from the piccolo to the tuba, and can justly be called a concerto for orchestra as well as a symphony. It is filled with rollercoaster thrills, stupendous climaxes, volcanic eruptions, and apocalyptic visions. No listener is left unmoved by this symphony, the musical equivalent of a 1,000-page Russian novel. Violinist Arabella Steinbacher, praised by New York Times with "balanced lyricism and fire", will have her debut in Taiwan and play with the NSO in Bruch's lushly romantic First Violin Concerto, an audience favorite. Taiwanese young composer Lily Chen contributes the opening work on the program, Glittering Across the Ocean, an NSO commission.

布魯赫創作頗豐，但世人對他的第一、甚至唯一印象，就是第一號小提琴協奏曲，即使他之後還寫了兩首。不過此曲實在有成就大名的本領，光是開頭那如春蠶吐絲又盡訴哀思的小提琴獨奏，就是極其罕見的妙手。第二樂章傑出的情感鋪陳，以及終樂章淋漓盡致又不流於誇張炫技的揮灑，也在在可圈可點。未滿三十就有成就若此，確實可驚可羨，也讓世人永遠陶醉在作曲家明媚如詩的青春樂想。

50 NSO 2018 19

說到青春，年輕時的蕭斯塔科維契，過得鋒芒畢露：十九歲就發表第一號交響曲，一出手便國際馳名；那時他日子過得燦爛，天寬地廣沒有盡頭，還是代表蘇聯參加首屆蕭邦鋼琴大賽的好手。怎知好日子沒多久，就因為歌劇內容被當局批鬥，第四號交響曲排定的首演也被迫取消—此曲深受馬勒影響，規模宏大、思緒交錯，精神內涵深邃又充滿豐富聲響色彩，當屬二十世紀最偉大的交響音樂。這是讓演出者和聆賞者皆有「靈魂洗滌」震撼效果的經典，每場演出都必須把握。呂紹嘉總監帶領 NSO 二度挑戰這首名作，加上被譽為「小提琴女神慕特接班人」的史坦巴赫，以及陳立立新作首演，必然令人耳目一新！

同樣演奏創作皆擅，同樣成果豐富多樣，莫札特與魏德曼，各以他們的非凡樂才，給予世人抒懷與省思。NSO 這次請到足稱當代莫札特的魏德曼擔任駐團音樂家，讓愛樂者充分享受他在單簧管與作曲上的卓越成就，也和國際樂壇無縫接軌。

Music for mourning is the theme of Shao-Chia Lü's second concert of the season. The focal work is Mozart's final composition, the sublimely beautiful Requiem, left unfinished at the composer's death. Mozart's unerring sense of orchestral color and vocal effects make this Requiem one of the most cherished works in the choral repertory. As a counterpoise to the Requiem, the concert opens with the same composer's Symphony No. 25, one of only two by Mozart in minor key (the other is the famous No. 40, also in G minor). In between comes the Elegie for Clarinet and Orchestra by the contemporary German composer Jörg Widmann, who also serves as the clarinet soloist.

做為二十一世紀的新銳代表，魏德曼繼承了 1970 年代以來的作曲風潮轉折，認為當代音樂沒有必要放棄旋律與和聲美感，向傳統致敬並非就是妥協媚俗。於 2006 年寫給交響樂和單簧管的《悲歌》就是最好的例子—我們聽到易於接受又大膽創新的想像。當你自認已能抓到它的形貌，其轉折變化又帶來種種驚奇。

52 NSO 2018 19

莫札特第二十五號 G 小調交響曲原本是愛樂者的私家典藏，被電影《阿瑪迪斯》當成開頭曲後聲名大噪，一夕之間成為熱門經典。這是莫札特反映「狂飆運動」的作品，鮮明表情喚來揮之不去的宿命陰影，讓人知道他是能寫悅耳曲調的天才，也是對時代脈動敏銳無比的名家。《安魂曲》則是莫札特最後一次全心投入的創作。下筆時他已隱然感覺在和時間賽跑，直到去世都未能完成自己的絕筆。本場演出呈現莫札特助理蘇斯邁爾根據手稿以及作曲家臨終前指示續完的版本，讓我們再次體會莫札特的絕代天才以及留下的永恆遺憾。NSO 邀來國內聲樂名家名團，定要帶來震撼人心又意味深長的精彩演出！

Say hello to American music. Two iconic American composers provide the music for this festive concert that ushers in a new calendar year. The music of George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein has come to symbolize the "American-ness" of American music as has that of few others. Gershwin was the man who sought "to make a lady out of jazz." Three of his best-known scores are on the program, including the jazzy Rhapsody in Blue. As for Bernstein, that irrepressible dynamo of artistic energy, he accomplished more in his 72 years than most people could hope to achieve in several lifetimes. Bernstein was Mr. Classical Music himself. On the Town was his first musical comedy (1944), providing the perfect format to portray a whirlwind tour through New York City for three sailors on 24-hour shore leave. The show became even more popular through the medium of film, which starred Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra singing their way through "New York, New York, it's a wonderful town." From the other end of Bernstein's career we hear the Divertimento for Orchestra (1980), a celebratory piece written for the 100th anniversary of the Boston Symphony. Celebrations are in order as we say goodbye to 2018 and welcome 2019.

這首在草稿上原名《美國狂想曲》，正式演出改叫《藍色狂想曲》的作品，一如美國組成，果然是繽紛華麗，妙不可言的音樂大熔爐。蓋希文的音樂旋律動聽、節奏新穎，更有直指人心，能喚起普世共鳴的感動。離他愈久遠，愈能感受到他的可貴，筆下樂曲至今熱門，永遠不退流行。同樣鋼琴作曲兼擅，優游於歌劇和音樂劇的微妙界線，伯恩斯坦還是名動公卿的偉大指揮，能原創也能詮釋，更有好文筆與好口才，是一等一的音樂教育家。他的音樂見解深刻獨到，美學想像繽紛出彩，無論是何題材，下筆總能引人入勝，也能激發聆者思考。

布拉姆斯：《女中音狂想曲》第三號交響曲第二號交響曲

JOHANNES BRAHMS: Alto Rhapsody, Op.53 Symphony No.3, Op.90, F major Symphony No.2, Op.73, D major

雖然很多人把華格納當成布拉姆斯的對手，但兩人其實差距二十歲。只怪布拉姆斯少年老成，不到二十歲就寫出傳世名作。他精研昔日經典，擁抱保守價值又能以呼應時代，使傳統與現代交融為一。在他身上，我們可以同時見到早期與後期浪漫的特色，聽到精雕細琢又不失狂放的聲音。

Aside from the composers of theatrical works, Brahms is the only name in the NSO's repertory this season to be honored with an entire program devoted exclusively to his music. We'll hear his lyrical, bucolic Second Symphony, his Third Symphony (the only one in the standard repertory whose all four movements end quietly), and the sublime Alto Rhapsody, music of heartbreaking beauty composed in response to the composer's learning that a women with whom he was secretly in love had married another. An alto soloist sings words depicting a lonely, bitter man, lost to the world, wandering through the snowy mountains in search of solace.

由於貝多芬的巨大身影，從草稿到完稿，布拉姆斯前後竟花了二十一年方出手自己的第一號交響曲。千斤重擔一旦解除，隔年他就寫下第二號交響曲，堪稱揮筆即就。這是他寫得最愜意愉快的作品之一，音樂洋溢自在的悠閒感，以及遊歷山水的快活心得。不過布拉姆斯畢竟是布拉姆斯，即使輕鬆快活，音樂裡仍有深刻感受和內省思索，情景交融而有獨到創見，果真是千錘百鍊下的大師手筆。

56 NSO 2018 19

第三號交響曲則堪稱布拉姆斯管絃美學的巔峰之作，火山熔岩般的聲響、一葉知秋的滄桑，溫暖絃樂與悠揚法國號，還有淡淡退出的雋永結尾，作曲家以古典技法寫出極其浪漫的英雄身影，將昂揚與憂傷融合成音樂神話。至於以歌德詩作譜成的《女中音狂想曲》，那是他以苦澀釀成的酒，音樂中盡是憤怒情傷。究竟在美好旋律下，布拉姆斯藏了多少秘密？就讓我們和呂紹嘉、石易巧與拉縴人男聲合唱團一起探索這孤獨又自由的音樂巨人，在 NSO 的樂音中猜謎解題。

維也納與布達佩斯，奧匈帝國雙元帝國的兩大首都，各以優雅文化與非凡氣派聞名於世。和貝多芬一樣，布拉姆斯也從日耳曼地區到維也納發展，也如前輩大師以音樂改變了此城氛圍。《海頓主題變奏曲》有長大恢弘的情感鋪陳，又有小段落的思緒陡然翻轉，展現極其精湛的譜曲技巧，是他膾炙人口的代表作。貝爾格浸淫於偉大傳統，又從中再創新聲。即使技法新穎，始終保持濃厚的浪漫情懷。三首管絃樂作品聲響華麗燦爛，滿是刺激精彩但刁鑽莫名的演奏要求，還有曾用於馬勒第六號交響曲的命運巨槌。無論是聽覺或視覺，都能帶來極大的震撼！

Vienna and Budapest lie only about 200 kilometers apart, and are linked by the Danube River. Both are capital cities boasting rich historical traditions, grand palaces, and splendid museums. But the three composers we hear on this program – two from Vienna, one from Budapest – couldn't be more different in their styles. There are two works by Bartók: his Dance Suite, full of vigorous rhythms, attractive melodies and colorful orchestration; and his early, seldom-heard, richly romantic First Violin Concerto, replete with autobiographical references. From Brahms we hear the Variations on a Theme by Haydn, a superb example of the variation form. Another Viennese composer, Alban Berg, is represented by his Three Pieces for Orchestra, music of sonorous density; Pierre Boulez described the third piece, (March) as "demented intoxication of the dramatic gesture."

匈牙利的音樂本以維也納馬首是瞻，直到巴爾托克出現才煥發新風。舞蹈組曲是其代表作之一，不只有民俗風律動，還有節奏巧妙設計鋪陳，一個音的重複也能成為旋律。第一號小提琴協奏曲是他獻給小提琴家史黛菲 (Stefi Geyer) 的創作，單戀癡迷僅得佳人冷漠以對，曲譜直到兩人皆過世後方見天日。然而炙熱燃燒的愛情和狂野奇特的想像，使此曲既私密又具爆發力，問世後即驚豔樂壇，每次聆賞都是難得機會。有優雅細膩也有豪放不羈，這場曲目宛如最高明的大廚，獻上聲響美學的絕妙套餐。小提琴名家黃俊文和 NSO 首次合作，和呂紹嘉又會激發出何等火花，還請大家拭目以待！

俄國風雲 Sinaisky & NSO 指揮／瓦希利．辛奈斯基大提琴／納瑞克．哈克納札恩

VASSILY SINAISKY, conductor NAREK HAKHNAZARYAN, cello

德弗札克：《狂歡節》序曲柴科夫斯基：夜曲（大提琴與交響樂團版本）《洛可可主題變奏曲》普羅科菲夫：第六號交響曲

ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Carnival Overture, Op.92 PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY: Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra, Op.9 No.4, D minor PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY: Variations on a Rococo Theme SERGEI PROKOFIEV: Symphony No.6, Op.111, E-flat minor

柴科夫斯基《洛可可主題變奏曲》，顯示他不只擅於在同年完成的《里米尼的弗蘭倩絲卡》那樣震懾人心的張力，也能創作多彩且優雅的作品。柴科夫斯基一直對十八世紀時洛可可風格那纖細、輕盈的美學相當傾心，加上其對莫札特的仰慕，這種一直想嘗試的風格就成為這首大提琴與管絃作品的基調，但另一方面，《洛可可主題變奏曲》中同時存在著較深沉與憂鬱的情感表達，充份展現作曲家的兩面性。

The renowned Russian conductor Vassily Sinaisky, Gold Medal winner at the Karajan Competition, has held conducting posts with orchestras in half a dozen countries in addition to several in his native Russia. He brings to the NSO audience three Russian masterpieces, the everpopular Rococo Variations and Nocturne for Cello and Orchestra by Tchaikovsky, two staples in every cellist's repertory, and Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony – not one of his most famous, but the one many consider to be his best, and the only one by a famous composer in the rarely-used key of E-flat minor. To open the program, we go slightly west of Russia to Bohemia for Dvořák's exhilarating Carnival Overture.

這種深沉與憂鬱同樣也是〈夜曲〉的基調。〈夜曲〉選自柴科夫斯基完成於 1873 年的六首小品的第四首，原曲為鋼琴所寫，這場音樂會所演奏的大提琴與交響樂團版本是由柴科夫斯基親自改編。

60 NSO 2018 19

無獨有偶地，一如音樂學者涅茲齊耶夫（Israel Nestyev）描述，普羅科菲夫第六號交響曲裡，彷彿也可以看見兩種性格在彼此爭鬥，由三個樂章組成的交響曲中，兼具機巧的創見，也並存了《羅蜜歐與茱麗葉》中的甜美旋律，然而在現實世界中，第六號交響曲卻也造成了作曲家生活的巨變，該曲被史達林手下管制意識形態的日丹諾夫 (Andrei Zhdanov) 評為形式主義而遭禁演，這頂標準不明的帽子不僅扣在普羅科菲夫身上，其妻也在當時因為引入資本主義毒害的罪名被判了二十年的流放之刑，面對心中的龐大壓力，言語雖難自明，但這位天才又怎可能完全服氣？普羅科菲夫所不知道的是，他一生所或恐懼，或反抗，或挑釁的史達林，與他在 1953 年三月的同一天離世，他自然沒能有機會對這位影響其創作甚巨的人作出反應，也或者，在音樂中，他早已作出回應。

李元貞：《西岸》（NSO 委託創作，世界首演 ) 鮑爾：法國號協奏曲布拉姆斯：第四號交響曲

YUAN-CHEN LI: West Coasts (commissioned by the NSO, world premiere) JIŘÍ PAUER: Horn Concerto JOHANNES BRAHMS: Symphony No.4, Op.98, E minor

在時代巨輪的推進下，傳統並非累贅，反而成為深厚的底蘊，在這樣的基底下，往往提供了創新所需的扎實腳步，讓藝術發展得以飛向另一個世界。

Every movement of Brahms's sublime Fourth Symphony contains a wealth of memorable qualities and striking moments-music of autumnal melancholy, melting lyricism, forbidding austerity and stern grandeur. Internationally famed horn player Radek Baborák makes a return visit to Taipei as the featured soloist in a concerto by his Czech countryman Jiří Pauer (1919-2007). Baborák was only eighteen when he was appointed principal horn in the Czech Philharmonic; among the posts he has held since then include principal in the Munich and Berlin Philharmonics. Pauer's concerto is certain to astonish with its virtuosic writing, ardent lyricism and frolicsome character. An NSO commissioned work West Coasts, by Taiwanese composer Yuan-Chen Li opens the program. The title is entirely apt, as the composer comes from Taiwan's west coast and studied (and now lives) on America's west coast.

布拉姆斯與巴赫、貝多芬並列，常給人一種錯覺，以為布拉姆斯離我們的時代遙遠，其實，在他譜寫第四號交響曲的年代，華格納的《帕西法爾》已經完成，布魯克納的第七號交響曲也已問世，把歷史的卷軸再舒展些，理查 • 史特勞斯的《唐璜》、馬勒第一號交響曲、德布西《牧神的午後》前奏曲都將在其後十年內誕生。在第四號交響曲中，布拉姆斯使用了教會調式與帕薩卡雅舞曲的古老形式，不直接由其他文本轉化成交響詩，也未使用特殊樂器、後臺樂團等嶄新手法，於焉而生的無疑是真正的交響曲，在這樣的軀殼中裝入了成熟、精密，像是擁有一顆浪漫的心，卻自我設定了規範，披著古典的大衣堅定前行。

62 NSO 2018 19

由法國號神人巴伯羅柯帶來捷克作曲家鮑爾的法國號協奏曲，其魔幻氣息的旋律與和聲進行，馬上就能抓住聽眾，令人聯想電影中魔法世界的敘事張力。作曲家李元貞由 NSO 委託創作的《西岸》也將在這世界首演，描寫在西沉的太陽下，層疊的管絃筆法象徵的海浪，取法自然音響，也反映心理。樂迷在這一場音樂會中可以細細品嚐，來自不同地方的作曲家，用什麼樣的方式來轉化文化養分，推動巨輪。

大地之歌 Das Lied von der Erde 指揮／根特．赫比希女中音／石易巧男高音／傑．杭特．墨里斯

GÜNTHER HERBIG, conductor I-CHIAO SHIH, alto JAY HUNTER MORRIS, tenor

華格納：《齊格飛牧歌》馬勒：《大地之歌》

RICHARD WAGNER: Siegfried Idyll WWV 103 GUSTAV MAHLER: Das Lied von der Erde

電影《馬勒傳》中，馬勒對妻子艾瑪說：「即便世界已荒蕪，人們還是能從我的交響曲中，看見自然的樣貌。」自然的描寫未必僅為田園風光的紀錄，許多時候更像是感物抒懷，甚或是看待這個世界的哲學觀。

The return each season of Günther Herbig, the NSO's highly esteemed Conductor Laureate, is always a muchanticipated event, especially when he conducts music by German and Viennese masters. This time the big work is Mahler's hour-long Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth). In Das Lied von der Erde, Mahler achieved the complete synthesis of symphony and song cycle, a direction in which he had been moving throughout his career. For his texts, Mahler turned to an anthology of ancient Chinese poems that had appeared in German translation. To open the program, Herbig has chosen Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, which the composer wrote as a surprise birthday gift for his wife Cosima. It was described by one listener as "one of the most beautiful declarations of love any composer has ever made."

一千多年前的唐朝詩人，在二十世紀初間接引發數萬里之外的馬勒樂思泉湧。馬勒的《大地之歌》靈感來自德國詩人漢斯．貝特格經過法文、德文轉譯之後，譯成詩集《中國笛》。艾瑪在書店發現《中國笛》，相當興奮，認為馬勒一定會喜歡，未及丈夫生日就忍不住送給他。馬勒讀後果然深深著迷，立即被濃厚的東方色彩、別離氣氛，以及時而狂放時而頹美的世界觀所吸引，加上自己的想像，創作出這闋為男高音、女低音與管絃樂的交響作品。這個跨越時空的嘗試自然引起聽眾及學者極大的興趣，雖已與原詩有所差異，但經過對照後，仍能循線摸索出李白、孟浩然等人的原貌。華格納的《齊格飛牧歌》以田園詩為名，帶著鳥與日出主題，情意濃厚，是獻給妻子柯西瑪的生日禮物。為了籌備驚喜，華格納偷偷譜寫、排練，在妻子生日早晨集合樂手，在樓梯上排成行列，柯西瑪在睡夢中被樂聲喚醒，深受感動。 64 NSO 2018 19

同為禮物而起，同是自然主題，這場音樂會也將是 NSO 與赫比希為樂迷呈獻最誠摯的心意。

蕭斯塔科維契七 Leningrad 指揮／根特．赫比希

GÜNTHER HERBIG, conductor

貝多芬：《雷奧諾拉》序曲蕭斯塔科維契：第七號交響曲《列寧格勒》

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: Leonore Overture No.3, Op.72b DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No.7, Op.60, C major, Leningrad

作為常見的題材，戰爭電影的重點常常並不在戰爭本身，而在於人面臨極境時被擠壓出的人性，當然，還有那微小卻強軔的光亮，古今許多音樂作品亦然。

In a departure from the repertory he usually conducts here, Günther Herbig has chosen for the main work on his second program this season music by a Russian composer-Shostakovich's epic Seventh Symphony (Leningrad). Written during World War II and dedicated to the composer's native city, it stands as a proclamation of heroic strength and a symbol of courage, defiance, and projected victory in the face of insuperable odds. For a concert opener, Herbig turns to Beethoven's Leonore Overture No. 3. This preceded the first performance of his opera Fidelio (1805), whose subjects, like Shostakovich's symphony, are defiance in the face of oppression and the overthrow of tyranny. One writer aptly called it "the grandest overture ever written."

貝多芬的《雷奧諾拉》第三號序曲是作曲家為其唯一歌劇《費黛里歐》所譜寫的四個序曲版本之一，初版之時，由於適逢拿破崙入侵維也納，該劇首演只上演三晚，跨越百餘年，第二次世界大戰結束後，自戰火瓦礫中重建的維也納國立歌劇院重新揭幕，第一部上演的作品，恰好正是這部頌揚正義與人權的作品，全曲極具張力，儼然全劇縮影，包含溫柔、堅強，以及勇氣。蕭斯塔科維契第七號交響曲是作曲家規模最宏大的交響曲，儘管蕭氏的描寫對象有針對戰爭或極權壓迫等諸多說法，但作品確實是在列寧格勒圍城戰腥風血雨的九百日中完成，重覆十二次的入侵主題步步進逼，在腦海中刻下鮮明記憶，而情緒經過四個樂章的層層堆疊，帶著貝多芬似的命運動機，在最後出現呼應開頭的旋律，帶著滿溢張力形成壯麗的結尾，一切壓抑與苦難終於見到光芒。赫比希所指揮的音樂會常像是一場真正的展覽，聽過數次的經典曲目在他手中得以扎實並具說服力地呈現，其巧妙的安排又總能讓熟悉的作品們組合成全新的感受與深刻的訊息。 66 NSO 2018 19

ANTON WEBERN: Im Sommerwind BÉLA BARTÓK: Piano Concerto No.2, Sz.95, G major JOHANNES BRAHMS: Serenade No.1, Op.11, D major

奧地利與匈牙利不但在歷史上關係密切，在音樂上也有著諸多饒富趣味的連結。NSO 在這個樂季梳理其中的脈絡，並置輝映，如此難得的機會當然不能錯過。

Bartók's fiendishly difficult Second Piano Concerto serves as the centerpiece of Stefan Blunier's program, with famed, multi-award-winning pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet as soloist. Framing this popular concerto by a Hungarian are lesser-known works by Viennese composers. Anton Webern's tone poem Im Sommerwind (In the Summer Wind), was written by a twenty-year-old youth in 1904 and suffused with post-Wagnerian Romanticism. It describes a summer day in the country. After intermission comes Brahms's longest purely orchestral work, the fiftyminute, six-movement Serenade No. 1, music of prevailing cheerfulness that can stand proudly beside the composer's symphonies as his first completed orchestral composition.

維也納第二樂派的要角魏本取材作家布魯諾．威爾的詩作，在 22 歲創作了《夏日風中》，此時作曲家還未走向為人熟知的無調性風格，以絲絨般的管絃織體展現了充滿和聲色彩的另外一面。布拉姆斯對交響曲的執念眾所皆知，直到中年才發表第一號交響曲，但年輕時就已創作了兩首以小夜曲為名的管絃作品。小夜曲原為歐洲夏日夜晚於戀人窗下吟唱以表心意的小品，布拉姆斯第一號小夜曲乍聽之下規模完整，具備管絃樂團的量感，但細細品味不難發現當中承襲著海頓、莫札特維也納風格的芬芳。巴爾托克本身是傑出的鋼琴家，在艱澀的第一號鋼琴協奏曲發表後，50 歲以成熟的技法完成第二號鋼琴協奏曲，並由作曲家本人在首演擔任鋼琴獨奏，全曲兼具匈牙利強烈的節奏感與複雜的對位技巧，對於鋼琴家來說是一大考驗。在第二樂章具有夜曲風格，與絃樂交織成如夜空的柔美氣氛。 68 NSO 2018 19

整場音樂會像是一趟旅程中的迷人風景，在夏夜中，感受星光燦爛與緩緩吹拂的晚風。

國家文藝獎得主金希文以嚴謹的西方作曲技法與音樂架構，在世界舞臺既可和西方平行對話，音符行進間又隱藏、流動著臺灣土地的基因。〈跳舞歌〉選自《鼓動的山巒》，以具有舞曲特色的原創主題開場，賽德克族跳舞歌的蹤跡則潛藏於第二段。作品描繪舞者在風中起舞，躍上樹梢，掠過藍天，踩著酣暢淋漓的節奏，有如歡欣的精靈。描景繪情，是印象樂派作曲家的拿手絕活，德布西的《海》猶如一幅恣意揮灑的畫作，音符在作曲家手中翻動，有著他對大海的想像，有葛飾北齋浮世繪《神奈川沖浪裡》的情境，也有他最後完成作品的地點──位於英格蘭南部的濱海小城義本。無論是對德布西，還是他的追隨者，另一位法國作曲家拉威爾，管絃樂聲如同顏料般的被他們調配，聲音的起伏帶動著光影變化。拉威爾《達芙尼與克羅伊》，以希臘故事為題材，主要受狄亞基列夫俄羅斯芭蕾舞團的委託，作品將深刻糾結的情感，透過音樂的多彩豐富展現。 72 NSO 2018 19

In preparation for its second visit to the United States in two years, the NSO presents a pre-tour concert with some of the repertory it will take across the Pacific. Music from three continents will be on the program. As it always does on tour, the NSO includes something by one of Taiwan's own composers, in this case Gordon Chin's 'Dancing Song'. Music from the country the NSO will visit is represented by Samuel Barber's intensely lyrical Violin Concerto with 24-year-old Taiwanese violinist Yu-Chien Tseng as soloist. Two pillars of the French repertory round out the program - Debussy's stirring evocation of the sea (La Mer) and the Second Suite from Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe, a veritable textbook of orchestral wizardry.

這場音樂會，將是一場聲音魔術的饗宴，臺灣傑出小提琴家曾宇謙選擇的巴伯小提琴協奏曲，也是一首千變萬化的樂曲。巴伯可說是曾宇謙的「老學長」，兩人同為寇蒂斯音樂學院的校友，這首作品原本是巴伯為同窗小提琴好友所寫，最後兩人卻因藝術認知的落差無此「琴緣」，然而此曲發表後，已成為最具代表性的當代小提琴協奏曲之一。

伯恩斯坦：《憨第德》序曲《柏拉圖對話錄》小夜曲柯普蘭：《阿帕拉契之春》蓋希文：《波吉與貝絲》交響圖畫

LEONARD BERNSTEIN: Candide Overture Serenade after Plato's Symposium AARON COPLAND: Appalachian Spring GEORGE GERSHWIN: Porgy & Bess: A Symphonic Picture

在美國古典音樂發展的版圖上，蓋希文、柯普蘭、伯恩斯坦占有舉足輕重的地位。三人以音樂為媒介，各闢蹊徑，反映美國社會「民族大熔爐」的多元文化。他們擁抱爵士音樂、拉丁節奏、民間歌謠等，打破精緻與通俗的界線，跳脫種族隔閡與社會階層的區分，在音樂國度實現自由開放的理想。

Three of America's most famous, most popular, most accomplished composers are in the spotlight for this program. It opens with Bernstein's zippy, zany Candide Overture, one of the most often-heard works in the entire classical repertory. Then comes something more serious from Bernstein, his masterful Serenade after Plato's Symposium, a musical evocation of the illustrious dialogue Plato oversees among guests at a dinner party concerning the nature of love in its various forms. Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, music fresh as natural spring water, and an orchestral suite of numbers from that most American of operas, Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, complete the program.

三人中最早出生的是蓋希文，生於 1898 年，但歲數最短，只有不到 40 年。柯普蘭在 1900 年出生，比伯恩斯坦大 18 歲，兩人於 1990 年同年去世。《波吉與貝絲》交響圖畫，改編自蓋希文同名歌劇。在種族藩離高築的年代，蓋希文以藍調、爵士為素材，大膽在舞臺上敘說非裔美國人的故事，以非裔歌手為舞臺的主角，劇中的《Summertime》更成為傳唱不輟的金曲。柯普蘭的《阿帕拉契之春》受瑪莎葛蘭姆舞團委託，以基督教震教徒的歌曲《樸實的恩賜》為主題旋律，也讓這首曲子走出宗教的世界。至於阿帕拉契山脈與樂曲的關係，基本上作曲家想透過樂曲描寫遼闊的山川景致，只是編舞家對作品的命名而已。

2018 年適逢伯恩斯坦百歲冥誕。伯恩斯坦集作曲、指揮於一身，1954 年他專注於兩個新作品的創作，分別是歌劇《憨第德》以及為小提琴和管絃樂團創作的小夜曲《柏拉圖對話錄》，後者主要為庫賽維茲基基金會的委託。俄國指揮庫賽維茲基（Serge Koussevitzky）曾為波士頓交響樂團音樂總監，也是伯恩斯坦的恩師。

在西樂為主流的世界舞臺上，來自中國的吳蠻懷抱琵琶，獨樹一格。她融合東西，穿越傳統與現代，是絲路合奏團的核心成員，2013 年獲選「音樂美國」年度器樂演奏家。

Wu Man, recognized as the world's premier pipa virtuoso and leading ambassador of Chinese music, comes to Taipei to join the NSO in a full-length concerto by Zhao Jiping, known to millions through his film scores for Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine, and many others. Stravinsky's satirical and playful Suite No. 1 for Small Orchestra is followed by Poulenc's Sinfonietta, a half-hour of music infused with a carnival atmosphere; Poulenc himself regarded this work as more entertaining than serious.

在西方指揮為主的交響世界，「臺灣之子」莊東杰征戰各大指揮比賽，拿下亮眼成績，榮獲馬勒和蕭提指揮大賽第二名、馬爾科指揮大賽首獎。如今展翅遨翔全球舞臺，足跡可見於柏林德意志交響樂團、邦貝格交響樂團、BBC 交響樂團。莊東杰和吳蠻強強合作，演出中國作曲家趙季平的第二號琵琶協奏曲。作品由雪梨交響樂團委託創作，2013 年首演，是專為吳蠻量身打造，結合西方作曲技法和琵琶的樂器特色，並取材吳蠻家鄉蘇杭評彈吳儂軟語的風格。趙季平以蘇杭文化出發，臺灣作曲家李子聲的《布農．天籟》則以布農族的音樂作為發展的素材。《獵前祭槍歌》(Pislahi) 、《祈禱小米豐收歌》 (Pasi But But) 等，透過作曲家的解構改編再生，將古謠轉化為具有現代聲響的管絃樂曲。

76 NSO 2018 19

對比琵琶、古謠在作曲家筆下的千變萬化，莊東杰選擇以浦朗克、斯特拉溫斯基作為呼應。兩位作曲家相差 17 嵗，彼此相惜。斯特拉溫斯基曾動用影響力，確保浦朗克獲得音樂出版社的合約，其作品《春之祭》開啟浦氏對於「新」音樂的想像，因此當有人質疑斯氏的音樂價值，浦氏也會起身捍衛。莊東杰安排色彩繽紛、小而精緻的浦朗克小交響曲，和斯特拉溫斯基第一號給小樂團的組曲進行對話，彷彿重現當年大師的才情激盪。

江文也：《臺灣舞曲》芥川也寸志：《為交響曲所寫的音樂》孟德爾頌 : E 小調小提琴協奏曲西貝流士：第二號交響曲

JIANG WEN YE: Formosan Dance YASUSHI AKUTAGAWA: Musica per Orchestra Sinfonica FELIX MENDELSSOHN: Violin Concerto in E minor JEAN SIBELIUS: Symphony No.2, Op.43, D major

《臺灣舞曲》的長度不到十分鐘，卻道出藝術家身處歷史洪流的悲歡。1936 年，江文也以《臺灣舞曲》拿下柏林奧運文藝競賽特別獎，成為首位在國際獲獎的臺灣作曲家。

In April, the NSO heads off again to Japan for another tour there. This time, as a bow in the direction of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the orchestra will perform, side by side, music by a Taiwanese composer ( Jiang Wen-Ye's Formosan Dance) and a Japanese (Yasushi Akutagawa's Musica per Orchestra Sinfonica). Jiang Wen-Ye is a particularly apt choice for this tour, as he spent many years in Japan. As a pre-tour offering to its Taiwanese audience, the orchestra presents these two works plus one by a German (Mendelssohn's ever-popular Violin Concerto), and one by a Finn (Sibelius' mighty Second Symphony, a work that always sends audiences home in a state of near rapture).

1910 年，江文也生於大稻埕，4 歲遷居廈門，之後於日本受教育，作品以臺灣為題材，可視為原鄉情懷的抒發。1934 年隨「鄉土訪問音樂團」從日本回到臺灣，這趟民樂採集之旅也給了江文也創作的靈感，在 24 歲創作了《臺灣舞曲》。《臺灣舞曲》獲獎，擾動了年輕作曲家的人生，如此殊榮，讓他遭逢自己無法掌握的際遇。當時臺灣為殖民地，江文也以「日本人」身分報名，與他一同參賽的「正港」日本人卻未獲獎，日本當局自然無意大力宣傳。1938 年，江文也前赴北京師範大學任教，1949 年留在中國，歷經下放勞改，1983 年在北京去世。在國共對峙、兩岸分治的年代，江文也的名字曾經沉寂多時，不被提及。

JÖRG WIDMANN, conductor & clarinet

魏德曼：《活力洋溢》莫札特：單簧管協奏曲孟德爾頌：第三號交響曲《蘇格蘭》

JÖRG WIDMANN: Con Brio for Orchestra WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART: Clarinet Concerto, K.622, A Major FELIX MENDELSSOHN: Symphony No.3, Op.56, Scottish

他是全方位的音樂家，集單簧管演奏家、作曲家、指揮於一身。他是 NSO 本樂季的駐團藝術家，來自德國的魏德曼。

German composer Jörg Widman comes to Taipei wearing three hats: as composer, as conductor, and as soloist. His own composition Con Brio for Orchestra (2008) opens the program, taking as its point of departure the 'con brio' movements of Beethoven's Seventh and Eighth symphonies. Widmann then returns to the stage with his clarinet for Mozart's ethereally beautiful Clarinet Concerto. This was the last instrumental work Mozart completed before his death. It is also the culmination of his career as "The Prince of Concerto Writers." That it was a concerto for clarinet was doubly fitting, for this was the wind instrument Mozart had loved above all others.

魏德曼 1973 年出生慕尼黑，7 歲時對單簧管一見鍾情，之後更沉醉於作曲世界，師事里姆 (Wolfgang Rihm)、郭貝爾 (Heiner Goebbels) 等作曲名家。他以獨奏家的姿態馳騁歐洲各大樂團，里姆《為單簧管與交響樂團所譜之樂曲》（Musik für Klarinette und Orchester）不僅由他首演，也是題獻給他。他曾任琉森音樂節駐節藝術家，2017–2018 樂季獲聘為萊比錫布商大廈首位駐廳作曲家，作品由身兼布商大廈管絃樂團和波士頓交響樂團音樂總監尼爾森斯 (Andris Nelsons) 演出。魏德曼在這場音樂會將展現指揮與單簧管演奏的功夫，先以自己創作的《活力洋溢》開場，緊接著為莫札特的單簧管協奏曲，最後以孟德爾頌《蘇格蘭》交響曲畫下休止。《活力洋溢》發表於 2008 年，收錄在 2015 年楊頌斯指揮巴伐利亞廣播交響樂團的專輯中。在十多分鐘的樂曲中，魏德曼的音符穿梭於細膩與奔放間，有如進行一場聲響的遊戲，兼具趣味和實驗感。

80 NSO 2018 19

在投身作曲和指揮的道路上，魏德曼從未放棄獨奏家的角色，三個身分的結合，提供他解析作品的多視角。莫札特單簧管協奏曲膾炙人口，又為基本曲目，若求突破既定框架，演出挑戰更大。魏德曼不求標新立異，而是透視更多的細節，營造更豐富的聲音層次，突顯音符的律動，進行一場「活力洋溢」的詮釋。

Mendelssohn's evocative Scottish Symphony is derived from his visit to Scotland as a young man. The somber, melancholic opening is certainly suggestive of the brooding, misty Scottish land; the ebullient clarinet theme of the Scherzo may be based on a Scottish folk air, and the leaping, vigorous, dance-like main theme of the finale is thought by some to be a musical representation of the gathering of the clans.

SHAO-CHIA LÜ, conductor ELENA ZHIDKOVA, mezzo-soprano BALINT SZABO, baritone-bass

荀貝格：《昇華之夜》巴爾托克：《藍鬍子公爵的城堡》

ARNOLD SCHÖNBERG: Transfigured Night, Op.4 BÉLA BARTÓK: Duke Bluebeard's Castle, Sz.48

荀貝格與巴爾托克，是從中歐傳統出發，二十世紀影響力最巨大的作曲家。他們表現強勁，愈是禁忌曖昧，愈有精彩發揮。這場音樂會聽他們寫愛情，果然寫出前人未至之境，讓人目眩神迷。

Two turn-of-the century masterpieces, each unique in its own way, constitute the NSO's final subscription concert of the season. Drenched in romanticism and hyperemotional expressivity, Schoenberg's tone poem Transfigured Night is, after more than a century, still his most popular work. It is the direct descendent of Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde, both in its musical language and its subject matter. Duke Bluebeard's Castle, Bartók's only opera, requires just two singers, but the orchestra is raised to the level of a third character in its dramatic, colorful commentary. The story is chilling, enigmatic, and utterly compelling. A great way to end the season!

男女夜晚散步，「我懷著孩子，但不屬於你」，想要成為母親的女子慘遭拋棄，已有身孕的她又不知如何面對現任情郎。「別讓孩子成為妳靈魂的負擔……妳將為我懷著那孩子，因為他也與我血肉相連」，男人的大愛讓暗夜隨之昇華，「兩人在暮色中漫步，夜空明淨而高朗」。荀貝格寫給絃樂的《昇華之夜》，以精彩非凡的筆法與扣人心弦的旋律，表現最隱晦難言又最溫柔寬厚的情感，每次聆賞都令人難忘。

86 NSO 2018 19

巴爾托克的愛情觀，從他筆下三部舞臺作品即可知曉：《木頭王子》是仙女作弄人間，王子以木偶呼喚公主，佳人竟愛上木偶而非真人；《奇異的滿洲人》是中國殭屍傳說的東歐變形，已死怪人非要得到少女擁抱才肯罷休。本於驚悚傳說的歌劇《藍鬍子公爵的城堡》，情節倒沒有鄉野故事可怕：七扇門鎖著七個房間，深藏的不只是秘密，更是主人翁的孤獨。巴爾托克能寫璀璨珍寶，寫鳥語花香，還能寫淚水之海，但第七道門打開後究竟出現什麼？音樂中的傷感或許比真相還要令人震撼。這是此劇在臺首次以匈牙利原文呈現，歡迎大家和 NSO 一起見證歷史！

事物，運用相當自由。斯卡比亞動機不只代表斯卡比亞，更代表邪惡。這既延續義大利歌劇行之有年的「回憶動機 / 旋律」手法，也展現出浦契尼參考卻不受限，景仰大師但未服從的創作態度。了解這點，就可明白《托斯卡》結尾的意涵。常有論者認為就歌詞邏輯而言，既然托斯卡跳樓前的絕命詞是「啊，斯卡比亞，在神的面前……」(O Scarpia, avanti a Dio ...)，此劇當以斯卡比亞動機結束，怎會是卡瓦拉多西的〈今夜星光燦爛〉？但且不論該動機已是第一幕結尾，這更展現浦契尼對角色的看法：托斯卡之所以選擇從天使堡一躍而下，並非畏罪，而是殉情；那呼喊中沒有驚惶膽怯，而是戰勝死亡的愛之勝利。男女主角最後的重唱，曲調之所以回到第三幕開頭的黎明銅管，也是作曲家草蛇灰線中的微言大義。愛，是浦契尼歌劇的共同主題，到最後一部《杜蘭朵公主》皆然。他不只是二十世紀義大利歌劇代名詞，更是偉大愛情的佈道家。這也是為何〈公主徹夜未眠〉(Nessun dorma) 的旋律會融入《失控國度》配樂，在電影結尾點出幹員之間的曖昧情愫。那音樂力量太強大，你必然一聽就懂。也是這等本領，當龐德在《托斯卡》演出中揭發政界密謀，同時間銀幕上斯卡比亞的魔鬼詠嘆總能深深震懾觀眾，即便你對義大利文一無所知。浦契尼的成功，證明大雅亦能大俗，精緻藝術也可家喻戶曉。不用背景，無須裝臺，這次 NSO 復刻 2002 年林懷民版《托斯卡》，以「一桌二椅」原則再度化身行動歌劇院，既在音樂廳饗樂迷，更把浦契尼帶向臺灣沒有演過歌劇的地方。精省並不簡單，動作眼神、走位轉場、燈光戲服等等都必須更講究用心，讓人看熱鬧也看門道。歡迎新朋舊友和我們再度相見，品味愛與藝術的永恆魅力，總也不老的《托斯卡》。

Wagner had been forced into exile in Switzerland after being involved in the uprisings that had spread through Germany in 1848-9. There he had set out his plan for a new sort of 'music drama', and plotted the work that would turn those plans into reality.

The reasons for this break have been much debated, but can be seen as a mixture of practical concerns and lofty philosophical doubts. In the first instance, Wagner was in dire financial

could cease worrying about finances, and carry on composing with a realistic prospect of the work actually being performed. After the interim works, Wagner picked up the composition of Siegfried again in the middle of the 1860s, but didn't put the finishing touches to the final act until 1869 (it would not be premiered until 1876, as part of the first performance of the complete cycle at Wagner's new Festspielhaus in Bayreuth.)

That final act, however, immediately reflects what he learnt in the interim: from the masterful prelude and its virtuosic mingling of half-a-dozen leitmotifs through to the stunning music reserved for Brünnhilde's awakening and the remarkable duet that concludes the work – a daytime equivalent, in some ways, to the nocturnal love scenes of Tristan. The first two acts, however, are no less remarkable in their way, and perhaps best show why the work is sometimes referred to as the 'Scherzo' of the Ring.

rethought and redefined north of the Alps. The foundations on which Italian opera had been built – in terms of form, as well as the primacy of voice and melody – were being questioned. Giuseppe Verdi, born in the same year as Wagner, became so depressed about what he saw as a crisis in the national art form that he all-but retired after the premiere of his Aida in 1871, returning only 15 years later with two Shakespearean masterpieces, Otello and Falstaff, premiered in 1887 and 1893 respectively.

The young Siegfried's exchanges with Mime are defined by a dark humour, as are Mime's with an increasingly exasperated Wanderer. Wagner's theatrical pacing, meanwhile, demonstrates his instinct for telling a story vividly and involvingly. His scoring is a marvel of atmosphere, colour and musical characterisation. We can almost sense Mime's frustration at his unsuccessful attempts to reforge Notung – the broken sword entrusted to him along with the infant Siegfried. We feel his fear contrasted with Siegfried's fearlessness, the wicked joy he feels when he senses – wrongly, of course – that his evil plan to get his hands back on the Ring are about to come to fruition. But where Wagner's score, and his text, are at their most touching is in the way that they explore Siegfried's development, and the dawning sense he gains of himself and of his origins. This is what prevents the character's boisterousness and, indeed, arrogance, from spilling over into a lack of appeal. It also gets to the heart of how the hero of the Ring should be perceived: his heroism is nascent, currently built on purity and innocence – a raw resource that is corrupted by those who, in Götterdämmerung, seek to exploit and use him. The final scenes of Siegfried show his first loss of innocence, an encounter with

By that time, however, a new generation had emerged, who sought to apply selected Wagnerian lessons to quintessentially Italian subjects. With Cavalleria rusticana (1890), Pietro Mascagni marked the start of what would become known as the verismo movement, whereby techniques learnt from the German composer would be applied to sometimes shockingly everyday – and unedifyingly sordid – plots. Some of these were even based on news stories, or at least purported to be. Puccini is often seen as being part of this movement, and some of his works (especially Il tabarro, the first of the three operas that make up Il trittico) certainly could be categorised as such. Most of his operas, however, resist the temptation of the everyday, with several still set in a time or place at a certain remove. And although Tosca would be set in Rome, its action is set a century before the work was premiered, in the unstable aftermath of the French revolution. It's incorporation of historic events and its reliance on geographical reality – the settings for each of its three acts can still be visited today, and a film of the opera was made making use of them – mean that it in fact has something in common with the grands opéras that dominated the Parisian stage in the middle of the 19th century.

in fact – for Tosca. It had been his first librettist, Ferdinando Fontana, who had first suggested Victorien Sardou's Tosca as a subject as early as 1889, though attempts by the thenunknown composer to attain the rights were unsuccessful. Puccini saw the play at least twice, in 1890 in Milan and 1895 in Florence, where the role of the fiery, jealous and unrepentant prima donna was played by the legendary Sarah Barnhardt, the dedicatee of the play. By the time the decision was made to go ahead with turning it into an opera, however, the rights had already been granted to the composer Alberto Franchetti. But he, happily, was easily persuaded to hand the project over to Puccini, along with what Luigi Illica had already produced of a libretto (in discussion with Sardou himself). Giuseppe Giacosa was then drafted in to help Illica adjust the libretto to the Puccini's needs, thus reuniting the team that had produced La bohème.

strokes of the musical brush, Puccini is able to fill in the details: the humorous touches that make us, in the audience, like Tosca and Cavaradossi even more throughout the course of their extended Act 1 duet; the extra touches in Act 2, by contrast, that are used to give us a clearer idea Scarpia's sadism, and what drives him. Cavaradossi is no noble, flawed hero like Verdi's Otello, but in Scarpia Puccini created a worthy successor to Iago just 13 years after Verdi's opera was unveiled. Scarpia might even be more insidious: a character whose charisma is difficult to resist, and who is gleeful about his hypocriticism. At least Iago had the decency to sing his so-called 'Credo' alone, one might say; Scarpia sings his 'Te Deum' in a church with full choral accompaniment, lacing the religious display with lust – a deliciously Italian take on a quintessentially Wagnerian

dichotomy.

three men set out to create a more rounded and economical drama than Sardou's play – conceived from the start as a star vehicle for Bernhardt. Sardou provided lengthy background stories for each of his principal characters, for example, which it was decided had no place in an opera libretto. In the opera itself, moreover, Puccini is able to use music to tell us all we need to know.

Tosca had its premiere on 14 January 1900 at Rome's Teatro Costanzi. It received a mixed reception, as Puccini tended to in an Italy going through something of an operatic identity crisis, as well as a political crisis – there was a bomb scare in the theatre, and the King was assassinated only a matter of months later. More conservative audience members had been concerned about its apparently rebellious elements; others felt the score to be unnecessarily crude, the opera's drama

NSO LIVE 媽媽說故事 NSO 成立 30 餘年，許多樂團裡的成員都是「聽著 NSO 的音樂會長大」，在學成歸國後加入 NSO、結婚、生子。看著年輕團員的孩子們在台下看爸媽演出的興奮模樣，於是，我們有了這樣的想法：讓 NSO 年輕音樂家們現身說法，像是跟自己的孩子說故事一般，也跟學齡前小朋友一起聽古典音樂、說音樂家的故事。除了現場演出，我們也將音樂會內容重新編排，錄製成 CD，希望「媽媽說故事」能夠陪伴孩子們成長中的每一個重要時刻。
