MUSSORGSKY, Modest (1839–81)
Pictures at an Exhibition (orch. Ravel) 《图画展览会》(拉威尔配器版)
RCA (ADD) 09026 61401-2. Chicago SO, Reiner – RESPIGHI: Fountains of Rome; Pines of Rome
There are many fine recordings of Mussorgsky’s celebrated Pictures, but Reiner has the advantage of the rich acoustics of Chicago’s Symphony Hall and a 1957 sound-balance which is highly atmospheric, if less sharply focused than some. The final climax of The Great Gate of Kiev shows the concentration of the playing, but this is also obvious throughout and the remastering is fully worthy of the performance. Reiner’s recording is also available in an excellent new SACD transfer (RCA 82876 61394-2), where the couplings include Night on a Bare Mountain, Tchaikovsky’s Marche slave and the engaging Marche miniature, Borodin’s Polovtsian March, Kabalevsky’s Colas Breugnon Overture, and Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmilla Overture, all splendidly played and recorded.
尽管存在诸多优秀录音版本,莱纳1957年指挥芝加哥交响乐团在交响大厅录制的《图画展览会》凭借丰沛的声学效果与极具氛围感的音场平衡脱颖而出——虽解析度稍逊,但《基辅大门》终极高潮处凝聚的演奏张力,以及全曲始终如一的精湛表现,经重制后更显珍贵。该版本另有卓越的SACD再版(RCA 82876 61394-2),收录曲目包括《荒山之夜》、柴可夫斯基《斯拉夫进行曲》与俏皮的《小进行曲》、鲍罗丁《波罗维茨进行曲》、卡巴列夫斯基《科拉·布勒尼翁序曲》及格林卡《鲁斯兰与柳德米拉序曲》,皆以顶级演录水准呈现。
Boris Godunov (DVD version) 《鲍里斯·戈杜诺夫》
Decca DVD 075 089-9 (2). Lloyd, Borodina, Steblianko, Leiferkus, Kirov Op. Ch. & O, Director: Gergiev (Tarkovsky, V/D Humphrey Burton)
In 1990 the Covent Garden production of Boris Godunov, directed by the Russian Andre Tarkovsky, and rehearsed by Stephen Lawless, was adopted by the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. This two-disc DVD offers the resulting film, originally shown on BBC television, a magnificent presentation of the opera in the edition prepared by David Lloyd-Jones using the original 1872 version of the score. Valery Gergiev conducts an outstanding Kirov Opera cast, joined in the title role by Robert Lloyd from Covent Garden, giving one of his greatest performances ever, strong and resonant and movingly acted. It is astonishing how the different incidental parts are cast from strength with star singers, each rising superbly to the challenge of a major scene – Pimen, Varlaam, Rangoni and the Simpleton (who sings his pathétique solo twice – in the first scene of Act IV and at the end). Olga Borodina is magnificent as Marina in the Polish scenes opposite the powerful Grigory of Alexei Steblianko, and even such a small part as Feodor, Boris’s young son, is taken with passionate intensity by a then rising star, Larissa Diadkova. Musically it would be hard to imagine a finer performance, even though the recording balance sometimes has voices too distant and unrelated to close-up pictures. Visually it is superb too, with the complex, episodic story told with extraordinary clarity, set on a simple but very grand stage, with a floor in false perspective adding to the grandeur. Costumes are authentic and often colourful, with Tarkovsky’s often stylized production bringing unforgettable moments, as when Rangoni comes and sits centre stage at the end of the love scene between Marina and Grigory, and turns to give the most sinister stare as the curtain falls. Altogether an outstanding set.
1990年,由俄罗斯导演安德烈·塔可夫斯基构思、斯蒂芬·劳利斯排演的科文特花园版《鲍里斯·戈杜诺夫》被圣彼得堡马林斯基剧院采纳。这套双碟DVD源自BBC电视台播映的影片,采用大卫·劳埃德-琼斯基于1872年原始总谱编订的版本。瓦列里·捷杰耶夫指挥基洛夫歌剧院精英阵容,特邀科文特花园的罗伯特·劳埃德饰演主角,其雄浑嗓音与动人表演堪称生涯巅峰。配角阵容同样耀眼——皮缅、瓦尔拉姆、兰戈尼及"愚人"(该角色在第四幕首场与终场两度演唱悲怆独白)等角色均由明星歌唱家完美诠释。奥尔加·鲍罗丁娜饰演的玛丽娜与阿列克谢·斯特布利亚科科强势的格里高利在波兰场景中激烈交锋,就连鲍里斯幼子费奥多尔这样的小角色,也由新星拉丽莎·迪亚德科娃以炽烈情感演绎。尽管录音平衡偶有人声偏远问题,音乐表现仍堪称无懈可击。视觉呈现同样震撼:在运用透视法增强纵深的宏伟舞台上,复杂叙事被异常清晰地展开。考究的服装设计兼具历史真实性与视觉冲击力,塔可夫斯基风格化的舞台处理创造诸多经典瞬间——如兰戈尼在玛丽娜与格里高利爱情场景终结时缓步至舞台中央,落幕刹那投来阴森凝视。整体堪称里程碑式制作。
Khovanshchina (complete, DVD version) 《霍万兴那》
Arthaus DVD 100 310 (2). Ghiaurov, Atlantov, Marusin, Kocherga, Burchuladze, Semtschuk, Slovak Philharmonic Ch., V. Boys’ Ch., V. State Op. Ch. & O, Abbado (Stage/Director Kirchner
The Arthaus DVD recording was made in 1989, with Nicolai Ghiaurov leading an outstanding cast in what is essentially the Shostakovich version of the opera with the finale prepared by Stravinsky. Rimsky-Korsakov’s marvellous orchestration is rejected as too sumptuous these days, and his corrections of Mussorgsky’s harmony are seen as too academically correct. And with the beautiful, tragic music of Abbado’s ending, the strength and dignity of the Old Believers is reinforced. Indeed Abbado, who has for so long been Mussorgsky’s most eloquent champion among Western conductors of his generation, is electrifying throughout. There is an intensity here, and a mastery both of pace and climax. The playing of the Vienna orchestra is exquisite in the quieter episodes and sumptuous in tone, as is the moving contribution of the chorus. The recording, too, is superbly balanced and defined, and visually the production is good to look at. The camera is expertly directed, and always where the viewer wants it. This is a mandatory choice for all lovers of Russian opera.
这套1989年录制的Arthaus DVD采用肖斯塔科维奇改编版(终曲由斯特拉文斯基完成),由尼科莱·吉亚乌洛夫领衔杰出阵容。与里姆斯基-科萨科夫过于华丽的配器不同,此版更尊重穆索尔斯基原始和声。阿巴多处理的悲剧性终曲音乐,强化了旧信徒群体的精神力量。作为同时代西方指挥家中最富说服力的穆索尔斯基诠释者,阿巴多全程迸发惊人能量,对节奏与高潮的掌控臻于化境。维也纳乐团在柔板段落细腻如丝,强奏时又迸发辉煌音色,合唱团的演绎亦感人至深。录音层次分明,制作视觉审美出众,镜头调度精准捕捉戏剧焦点。所有俄罗斯歌剧爱好者不可错过的必藏版本。
