Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela in Barbican Hall
委內瑞拉西蒙.波利瓦爾交響樂團 到訪倫敦巴比勤音樂廳
17/11 (Mon 一) 8pm
Gustavo Dudamel returns to the Barbican to head his ‘other’ orchestra: the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. The programme features only one work, but Mahler’s mighty Third Symphony is a stand-alone masterpiece.
Mahler famously told Sibelius that a symphony, ‘must be like the world: it must embrace everything’; and the Third Symphony is just like that. It is not only the longest of Mahler’s symphonies, but also one of the most ambitious. From the eight-horn opening as Pan awakes, to the radiant love-infused finale described by one critic after the premiere as, ‘perhaps the greatest adagio since Beethoven’, it is a work of bold contrasts, exquisitely imagined colours, and all-consuming passions. Little wonder that after the first performance a 15-minute ovation recalled Mahler to the podium a dozen times!
French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa, the Tiffin Children’s Choir and the London Symphony Chorus all play their part.
指揮家杜達美再次回到巴比勤音樂廳,領軍他的「另一支」樂團——西蒙.波利瓦爾交響樂團,聯同法國女中音祈巴莎、狄芬兒童合唱團和倫敦交響樂團合唱團登場。這場音樂會只演一首作品,但馬勒的第三交響曲可就是獨一無二的鉅作。
馬勒曾對西貝流士說過,一首交響曲「必須包羅萬象,就像這個世界」。他的第三交響曲正正體現了這句話。這是馬勒最長的交響曲,也是最具野心的作品。從八支圓號的「潘神甦醒」開場,直到充滿愛意的燦爛終章,首演後有評論家稱其為「或許這是自貝多芬以來最偉大的慢板」。
這部作品展現了大膽的對比、細緻的音色設計以及澎湃的情感;難怪首演後,觀眾用15分鐘的熱烈掌聲多次召回馬勒上指揮台謝幕,場面熱烈可見一斑!
