今年是布鲁克纳年。安东老师诞辰200周年。吕嘉和蛋交的布鲁克纳Cycle即将完美收官。今晚是名号“浪漫”的布鲁克纳四。
持续大尺码、慢品味、长线条、连续推的风格,吕嘉今晚的处理一如既往。整个演绎下来,大约80分钟朝上。丝毫不输于Celi抑或Otto Klemperer那般的宽厚广博与庄严持重。
弦乐奢靡。管乐温润。织体自然。衔接得体。铜管尤其靠谱。小号嘹亮,圆号丰腴,长号凌厉。巴松和贝斯的对话底蕴饱满、盎然生机。
二乐章的处理尤其精细雅致。Andante也基本上是按照慢乐章来处理的,顶多是行走着的小步漫舞。浪漫。很浪!
It simply moves, seemingly incessantly.
Romance at its supreme, lingering and tantalizing, encroaching and permeating, progressing naturally with not the slightest hint of stopping or trace of dragging.
一步一个脚印,一笔一划地给你侍弄,掰开了,揉碎了,教科书般地精准周到,但从未感到丝毫滞涩困顿。
也许是到第四乐章某些回合,才些微略感疲劳。
乐队的水准是在的,完全胜任对指挥诠释执行之需。开车或骑车不熟练的新手跑快容易。慢慢从容地行走,有条不紊地切割风景,那需要真功夫和好手艺,外加足够的实战经验与自信底气。
蛋交进步实在是太大了。
能在国中欣赏到如此高水平的Bruckner,何其幸甚!

吕嘉蛋交布八惊艳

两周前看到吕嘉跟蛋交弄布八的消息,果断地将9号和10号两场的票都卖了。准备两晚比对着听。25年前在波士顿看Haitink跟BSO弄布八就是周五下午和周六晚场连着看,贼过瘾。
事到临头,昨晚被一场威士忌品鉴会裹挟劫走,就错过了第一天的呈现。今天说啥也不能错过。
可以说,来值了。好几年没现场听了,不知道爱乐与蛋交到底如今谁强。至少就今晚的表现而言,蛋交无疑国中最高水准。
尤其是七只圆号加上四位兼弄瓦格纳大号的圆号手,呼啦啦11位圆号,太给力了。国内乐队铜管总体表现鲜有过之者。
吕嘉的演绎非常的Consistent。Broadest tempi,全曲近乎100分钟,绝对是Celi的尺码。只是总体风格与氛围过于Emotional而非Spiritual。
脑海里一直闪现着一个关键词:Sombre。阴郁由余。明丽不足。Walter说,马勒一直在寻找上帝,布鲁克纳已然找到上帝。今天的呈现,我们看到的,好像是还不怎么能够确信自己到底是否已然找到上帝的那个安东。
第二乐章虽然有不同的节奏变化,但总体感觉较为紧凑,taut and fluent。第三乐章尤为emotional,非常地pensive and reflective,以至于我边上的姑娘隐然啜泣。
第一乐章进入状态稍微慢了一些。第四乐章仿佛也多了一些个体层面的纠结与纠缠。缺少了一些庄严肃穆与轩昂伟岸。
这些细微的感觉,跟吕嘉广博宽速的节奏处理不无关系,偶尔纠结但总体不失流畅与forward momentum,conducted with unhurried assurance,literally。
坐在二楼后部中间,音混较佳之域,乐队总体表现优异,但偶尔也会感到各个声部的咬合与群感些微欠缺。但终曲的辉煌敞亮可以原谅一切细微的不足。
感谢布鲁克纳,让我们见识到国中交响乐演绎的上佳水准。

附上先前有关布鲁克纳作品观演的四篇文章。
亲历布鲁克纳在中国的两次首演
布鲁克纳二中国首演
当年陈佐湟离任罗德岛爱乐回国担任国交首任音乐总监,接任罗德岛爱乐音乐总监的是Rice University的教授和校乐队指挥Larry Rachleff。这哥们一干就是20年,今天还在罗德岛。陈佐湟是Michigan的音乐艺术博士DMA,Larry是Michigan的音乐艺术硕士MMA。
在罗德岛看过Larry六七个seasons的演出。每次都觉得物超所值。因为你真心地觉得一个小的州立乐团不该这么好。但他确实是每次都让人感到振奋,觉得没有白来。而且散场后还在台上拿着麦克跟观众们聊天,回答问题。非常地道和得体。让你再爽一回。
他自称他媳妇说他在演出前狗屁不是,演出后才有资格神采奕奕,侃侃而谈。作为指挥,他确实是一个好的orchestral builder and great motivator!他的演出,就是给人一种非常special的感觉。记忆最深的是他的肖斯塔科维奇11。棒极了!
说道吕嘉治下的蛋交,也是这样一种感觉。每次都觉得很嗨。虽然乐手都很年轻,乐器质量也不尽人意,演奏中粗糙毛边也随处可见,但就是觉得还有点意思,有态度,有气场。每年若干部歌剧熬下来,大家进步很快。出了opera pit,弄音乐会,亦是风生水起。
吕嘉的演绎,说不上具体什么风格,似乎德奥意都行。总体上说是Clean and 从oncise, robust and resilient, often rugged
结实健壮地一溜小跑。风景几许。品味尚好。
据称,今天的布鲁克纳二很可能是中国首演。第一乐章似乎没太进入状态,不够taut。后来越来越有模样。老布的0/1/2号录音很少听。今天的reading让人感觉布二也像一部大作品,就像牛人能让贝二、四、八也成大部头一样。
16年前,在北京音乐厅曾见证汤司令指挥国交进行的布九中国首演。如今,布鲁克纳也成国中乐队家常菜了。曾经某次张艺指挥中芭弄布鲁克纳七竟然现场都没买到票!
吕嘉同学现在一高兴也经常在演出之前拿着话筒跟大家聊几句。讲讲背景啥的。说实话,讲话水平比招呼乐队行市差大法了。还是别掰饬了,大师。留些神秘感,说多了容易露怯,Maestro!

下面是2000年国交在中国首演布鲁克纳第九交响曲时我从美国赶来北京音乐厅现场听历的感受:

Bruckner 9 Premiere in China
Originally posted to Mahler List 2000/12/26
Greetings from Beijing!
Although I'm now having rather limited access to the net while vacationing in Beijing, I simply could not let it go without filing a very brief note about the premiere of Bruckner 9 in China.
It was done on consecutive nights (Christmas and the day after) by China National Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by its Music Director Mu-Hai Tang, with Te Deum filling in as the supposedly final movement.
I attended the first performance. It was by no means a great performance by world standards, but, nonetheless, a nontrivial achievement given the caliber of the orchestra and the lack of general familiarity of Bruckner in China.
The musicians tried their best. The chorus was in fine shape, though much thinner than I expected due to its small size. Four Wagner tuba players were borrowed from Germany for this rare occasion.
Unfortunately, it was an apparent drawback in Chinese orchestras to have typically a very weak brass section. This orchestra was no exception, which made it a kind of disappointment especially in Bruckner.
The first movement was rather atmospheric and the players were attentive and responsive to the director.
The second movement had more ensemble problems and the transition of tempi seemed awkward at times.
The third movement was perhaps the best rendered with some fine solo contributions.
Te Deum was beautifully sung and played, but the chorus, the organ, and the brass lacked power.
It was uplifting, but not yet to heaven, musically or spiritually. Much remains to be better played, interpreted, understood, appreciated, and loved.
This is so for this Chinese premiere of the 9th. And it is certainly so for all the great music of Bruckner in China.
The audience response was rather polite and not exactly involved. To me, it was a nice and welcome Christmas gift anyway.
