SHOSTAKOVICH, Dmitri (1906–75)
Testimony (film, directed by Tony Palmer)《见证》(托尼·帕尔默执导电影)
TP DVD 145. Kingsley, Shrapnel, Rigby, Shirley-Quirk, Golden Age Singers, Chilingirian Qt, Shelley, LPO, Barshai
Described by Films and Filming as ‘the best British film of the year’, Tony Palmer’s study of Shostakovich is typically revelatory. Palmer follows the line presented by the unauthorized biography, Testimony, that the composer was hostile to the Soviet regime, whatever compromises he had to make. Ben Kingsley movingly presents the composer with great sympathy, highlighting Shostakovich’s experiences in the 300-day siege of Leningrad, when human flesh was eaten so as to avoid starvation, though Shostakovich himself did not have to endure that. The snarling of Zhdanov, artistic chief, and the boasting of Stalin are equally well conveyed by John Shrapnel and Terence Rigby respectively. The musical side could hardly be finer, with Rudolf Barshai drawing dramatic playing from the LPO, backed up by the Chilingirian Quartet in the String Quartet No. 8. Six of the symphonies are quoted, notably the Leningrad Symphony with its portrayal of the Nazi invasion in the nagging ostinato of the first movement. Also very effective are the vocal contributions of John Shirley-Quirk and the Golden Age Singers in the quotations from the Symphony No. 13 with its setting of Yevtushenko. A great film, one of the finest that even Tony Palmer has made.
被《电影与拍摄》杂志誉为"年度最佳英国电影"的这部传记片,以争议性传记《见证》为蓝本,揭露作曲家对苏联政权的隐秘反抗——无论他表面作出多少妥协。本·金斯利以动人演技诠释肖斯塔科维奇在列宁格勒围城战期间的经历(虽未亲历食人惨剧,但900天围城仍是其创作底色),约翰·夏普纳饰演的日丹诺夫与特伦斯·里格比饰演的斯大林同样入木三分。音乐部分由鲁道夫·巴尔沙伊指挥伦敦爱乐呈现极致戏剧性,奇林吉里安四重奏演绎的《第八弦乐四重奏》尤为震撼。六部交响曲选段穿插其间,包括《列宁格勒交响曲》第一乐章描绘纳粹入侵的顽固低音主题。约翰·雪利-奎克与黄金时代合唱团献声的《第十三交响曲》(叶甫图申科诗作)同样摄人心魄。这部托尼·帕尔默生涯杰作,堪称音乐传记片的巅峰。

Decca 475 7431 (9). (i) Chailly; (ii) Concg. O; (iii) Phd. O; (iv) Gothenberg SO, Järvi; (v) COE, Barshai; (vi) H. Schiff, Bav.

This feast of Shostakovich includes Chailly’s three famous CDs of ballet and film suites and the supremely delightful Jazz Suites – some of the most appealing music Shostakovich ever wrote. All sorts of intriguing repertoire is here, and Shostakovich’s ready fund of melody and his exotic orchestral palette, spiced with touches of wit, make for a kaleidoscope of memorable vignettes. The Romance from The Gadfly is included (in its original orchestration). Hamlet (there are two versions of the music here) brings music of more pungency and dramatic power, while the composer’s instantaneous and irresistible arrangement of Youmans’s ‘Tea for Two’, the Tahiti Trot, almost upstages everything. One of the most substantial film scores, Alone, brings a wide range of picaresque and touching evocations. Other highlights include the opening number from Moscow-Cheryomushki, which has great energy and élan, and the luscious violins in the Tango from The Bolt are a joy. Chailly plays this repertoire superbly and receives magnificent orchestral playing from both the Concertgebouw and Philadelphia orchestras, with Decca sound to match.
The Cello Concertos with Heinrich Schiff are superbly recorded and the First can hold its own with the finest. The Second is a haunting piece, essentially lyrical; it is gently discursive, sadly whimsical at times, and tinged with smiling melancholy that hides deeper troubles. The (Philips) recording is enormously impressive. There’s a perfectly enjoyable account of the Piano and Trumpet Concerto from Ronald Brautigam and his excellent trumpet partner, Peter Masseurs, vividly accompanied by Chailly. The Second Piano Concerto with Cristina Ortiz is very successful: she gives a sparkling account of the jaunty first movement and brings out the fun and wit in the finale with fluent, finely pointed playing. The First Violin Concerto is disappointing, although it is all very expert; the performance is ultimately routine and wanting in atmosphere. Gidon Kremer’s DG account of the Second Violin Concerto is played with his customary aplomb, but the recording is not really in the demonstration bracket.
The Chamber Symphony is an arrangement for full strings of the Eighth Quartet and the Symphony for Strings is a similar transcription of the Tenth. These are strong performances and are excellently recorded (DG). With two substantial choral rarities – Ashkenazy’s The Song of the Forests (a freshly tuneful and enjoyable work that would have pleased the Soviet authorities) and Kegel’s dramatic (1972) recording of the red-blooded The Execution of Stepan Razin – this bargain set is well worth considering. Texts and translations included.
这套盛宴包含夏伊著名的三张芭蕾/电影组曲录音,以及妙趣横生的《爵士组曲》——肖斯塔科维奇最迷人的创作。从《牛虻》浪漫曲(原始配器版)到双版《哈姆雷特》配乐的辛辣戏剧张力,再到将尤曼斯《鸳鸯茶》改编成炫目《塔希提狐步》的急智,作曲家旋律宝库与异色配器交织成记忆碎片万花筒。《孤独》电影配乐展现流浪汉式悲欢,《莫斯科-切廖姆什基》开场曲迸发蓬勃活力,《螺栓》中的探戈小提琴声部更是醉人。夏伊指挥皇家音乐厅管弦乐团与费城管弦乐团呈现顶级演绎,DECCA录音品质相得益彰。
海因里希·席夫演奏的两部大提琴协奏曲录音堪称典范,《第一号》可媲美任何经典版本,《第二号》则弥漫着忧郁的抒情性,时而戏谑时而微笑的 melancholia(忧郁)下暗藏深渊。罗纳德·布劳提冈与彼得·马瑟斯合作的《钢琴与小号协奏曲》充满火花,克里斯蒂娜·奥尔蒂兹指下的《第二钢琴协奏曲》终章闪耀着俏皮机锋。克雷默演绎的《第二小提琴协奏曲》虽保持一贯水准,但DG录音未能尽显作品层次。
两首基于弦乐四重奏改编的《室内交响曲》(第八、十号)由DG录制,演绎强劲有力。合唱冷门佳作——阿什肯纳齐指挥的《森林之歌》(旋律清新讨喜,深得苏联当局欢心)与凯格尔1972年血气方刚的《斯捷潘·拉辛的死刑》——更使这套超值合集值得珍藏。附歌词译文。
