雍门琴

十月初的时候,我第一次听了一场现场演奏会。音乐家是Itzhak Perlman。

音乐会的票早在几个月前就买了,但临近的期间正是心境最动荡的一段时间,几乎有想放弃不去的打算。
不过还是去了~

但是…因为接人, 停车, 竟然迟到了!
被拦在外面不让进音乐厅, 只能等到第一个曲目表演完的短暂间隙才能进.

好容易等到一曲毕了, 被从侧门放进去, 不好意思在众目睽睽下穿到前面找自己的座位, 只好赶紧先就近在门边的一个空位临时坐下, 连外套都没来得及脱, 脑袋里还在因为焦虑, 尴尬而嗡嗡作响, 第二个曲目的音乐声就响起了.

很难说是哪一刻开始沉陷进去的, 总之没一会儿我就什么也想不到了, 只觉得莫名的悲不可抑. 提琴的声音让人觉得如同一个孤单的人, 在欢宴的人群环绕中看着别人的幸福回想自己的坎坷身世, 又好像令人置身败落的花园, 往日即使有欢乐甜美的时光, 也被风雨摧残凋零而去. 弦乐的伤感是仿佛渗入骨中, 让灵魂都颤抖的伤感. 我坐在那里, 既迷惑又惊恐, 因为眼泪慢慢好像开了闸一样止不住, 不能明白这种悲从中来的感觉是怎么回事. 好容易一段终结, 短暂停顿, 我还没来得及平息一下心情, 下一段又再开始, 音乐里的情感好像在渐渐积累, 升级, 从忧柔伤感变得激越而愤慨, 在仿佛grand的曲调中却充满了不甘和决绝…一段接一段, 我混乱无以, 渐渐觉得自己几乎没有喘息的机会, 简直忍不住要痛哭出声.
然后, 第四段开始了, 解救了我. 仿佛云开日现, 曲调终于渐渐轻快, 压抑和愤懑终于从心头散开.
一曲终了, 我呆愣坐在那里, 满脸干掉的鼻涕眼泪.

之后Perlman又演奏了几个曲目, encore的时候还拉了Schindler List里那首著名的主题曲. 我疯狂地鼓掌, 但是再没有哪个曲子像之前那个那么gets me.

后来查到那个曲子是Franck的Sonata for Violin & Piano in A Major. 我在youtube上找了几个版本听了又听, 也再没有那么受到撼动过.

只是以前我不怎么相信那个韩娥余音绕梁三日不绝云云的故事, 经此一次, 再无怀疑.

*********************************************************************************
不过这次是难得的题文相关的.

小时候看过雍门子周琴谏孟尝君的故事. 相关的情节是这样:

子周弹琴很牛x, 孟尝君不信邪地说:” 有本事你弹个琴能让我伤感一下试试?”

子周说:”那咋可能咧? 你现在要风得风, 要雨得雨, 身处高位, 春风得意, 一个琴曲就让你悲, 扯淡吧你! ”

接着又说:” 不过…其实你想象一下, 你现在虽然牛b, 但是如果不居安思危励精图治小心防范, 一不小心, 很容易就被秦国什么的给灭了. 那时候你那个惨哟, 被赶尽杀绝, 以后坟头被人种树, 澡盆让人养鱼…只怕路人甲看了都要可怜你, 一代天骄, 落得如此下场!”

于是孟尝君被子周的话一个霹雳直击心灵, 大脑当场当机!

子周见时机到了, 趁他乱, 要他更乱! 于是开始大奏悲乐.

孟尝君茫茫然之下, 如同听到自己的哀乐, 自怜自伤自恋交织在一起, 顿时悲不胜悲, 立刻泪如泉涌, 哭的十分唯美.

…….

于是, 所谓 “肠断非关陇头水,泪下不为雍门琴”.

Mov 4

 

Amami Alfredo

威尔第(Verdi)的歌剧《茶花女》(LA TRAVIATA)中的一段 Amami Alfredo (Love me Alfredo)

看过”Pretty Woman”的都听过这段, Richard Gere带Julia Roberts去听的歌剧, 还有片尾男主角很拉风地站在房车里去找女主角时大喇叭放的音乐就是.

背景是讲巴黎交际花Violetta与富家子Alfredo相爱, 然后Alfredo他爹求Violetta离开他儿子. 于是Violetta忍痛写下了告别信准备独自回巴黎(?), 这时Alfredo正好回来, Violetta就上前唱了这一段”请爱我就像我爱你”然后泪奔而出…

这个是Maria Callas的一个版本. 这位女士是个传奇, 她的声音里富含的感情能打动石头.

The storm & The flower duet & Paganini Caprice No.24

三个video~

第一个是Yanni 06年The concert event里一段令人目眩神驰血脉贲张的表演: The Storm.

violin是Vivaldi的”四季”里的Summer的一段~ 是我听到最让人兴奋的版本 (之一). 主要是整体气氛和中间那一秒的停顿- – 非常有效地造成了奇妙的悬念和之后银瓶乍破水浆迸的效果

这个音乐会中的另几个表演也非常完美, 比如prelude和nostalgia, 还有until the last moment, 以及一个youtube上看到的”world dance”(?), 这个在音乐专辑中没有下载.

04/10 补一个, 比较classic的summer III演绎. 相比yanni的版本更强悍有激情, 充满疾风骤雨的气势~ yanni里那个到后半由于过于平均的节奏鼓点听起来略微平和, 而开场的惊心动魄高亢激越很大功臣是之前低沉厚重的大提琴和断音的反差造成的…(题外话地说, 俺很奇异地觉得这个Samvel Yervinyan有种奇特的…魅力??–他长的很像一般好莱坞电影里的阴沉恐怖分子反派角色-___-b 尤其是表情严肃地抿嘴的时候……但是他却是个出色的音乐家, 然后他那个木讷的脸上露出似是自得又似是心满意足的微笑的时候让俺心里产生十分微妙的震动@_@ 俺觉得他演奏的最好的还是那种充满感情的曲调苍凉迂回的也许是armenian风情的乐曲)

第二个是The flower duet, 法国的delibes的歌剧作品Lakme(拉克美)中的一段.

耳熟能详, 但是我今天才知道名字!

这个版本我觉得几近完美~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX-6Ej2lnwg&feature=related

最后加一个, Paganini的 caprice No.24, Jascha Heifetz( 海菲茨)的版本.

我的手机铃声来源于旋律前一半:) 不过我的是很早以前胡乃元给几米的<向左走向右走>配乐的版本. 那时还不知道这是啥曲子咧…

最后记录一个强人kermit019的youtube channel. 此人上载了无数HD版本的bbc, pbs等的nature纪录片. 如果说有什么能和以上伟大的传世作品相提并论的话, BBC的Planet Earth和Life等等大约是应该有资格的~我因此而对bbc(的一部分人员)充满敬意.

前两天看了一部分Galapagos和Nature’s Great Events. 也是佳作. 世界上每个人都应该看BBC的自然纪录片!

To Make You Feel My Love

Lyrics

To Make You Feel My Love

(Bob Dylan)

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I’ve known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I’d go hungry I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling down the avenue
There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain’t see nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Artist: Oasis

Hold up… hold on… don’t be scared
You’ll never change what’s been and gone

May your smile… Shine on… Don’t be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm.

Cos all of the stars are fading away
Just try not to worry you’ll see them some day
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up… Come on… why you scared
You’ll never change what been and gone

He Was Beautiful

The Deer Hunter(猎鹿人)的电影主题曲Cavatina是首非常优美的曲子. 此曲被填词He Was Beautiful, 同样回味悠长(好像有个韩国电影还用了这首歌). 不过我找不到喜欢的演唱版本, 所以放一个John Williams的经典吉他版本吧.

Music: Stanley Myers
Lyrics: Cleo Laine
( A Lyric of the Musical Composition ” Cavatina”)

He was beautiful,
Beautiful to my eyes.
From the moment I saw him,
The sun filled the sky.

He was so so beautiful,
Beautiful just to hold.
In my dreams he was spring time
Winter was cold.

How could I tell him
What I so clearly could see
Though I longed for him
I never trusted me completely
So I never could be free.

Oh, but it was beautiful
Knowing now that he cared
I will always remember
Moments that we shared

Now it’s all over
Still the feelings linger on
For my dream keeps returning
Now that he’s gone.

For it was beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful to be loved.

perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

在so you think you can dance的海选中Faina用的这首歌. 她的Rumba把这首歌旋律以及演唱中得的flirting和sensual感觉发挥到了极致, 简直迷得我神魂颠倒…(我爱爱爱russian跳的拉丁舞–Anya除外, 我不喜欢她头发乱甩, 无论什么舞都以狂热状态演绎的方式)

这位演唱者的形象, 和我听歌时的想像颇有些差距 🙂

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps
By Doris Day
You won’t admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps 

A million times I’ve asked you
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can’t make your mind up
We’ll never get started
And I don’t wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me say yes
But if you don’t dear, confess
And please don’t tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can’t make your mind up
We’ll never get started
And I don’t wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me say yes
But if you don’t dear, confess
And please don’t tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps – perhaps – perhaps [fade]

 

Donde Voy

齐豫的英文版本. 不记得是否贴过了.

All alone I have started my journey
To the darkness of darkness I go
With a reason, I stopped for a moment
In this world full of pleasure so frail

Town after town on I travel
Pass through faces I know and know not
Like a bird in flight, sometimes I topple
Time and time again, just farewells

Donde voy, donde voy
Day by day, my story unfold
Solo estoy, solo estoy
All alone as the day I was born

Till your eyes rest in mine, I shall wander
No more darkness I know and know not
For your sweetness I traded my freedom
Not knowing a farewell awaits

You know hearts can be repeatedly broken
Making room for the harrows to come
Along with my sorrows I buried
My tears, my smiles, your name

Donde voy, donde voy
Songs of lovetales I sing of no more
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Once again with my shadows I roam

Donde voy, donde voy
All alone as the day I was born
Solo estoy, solo estoy
Still alone with my shadows I roam

随手一搜, 发现youtube上这个video, 原来齐豫把歌名改成了Tears. 这据说是她自己填的英文词.

这地方竟然又不知不觉地变了地址…而我竟然能找到, 真是奇迹.

 

I’ll Stand By You

by Pretenders

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
cause even if you’re wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when…
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

在上周的so you think you can dance里听到这首歌的. 也许是旋律, 也许是歌者的嗓音, 也许是歌词, 总之第一句歌声一响起就把我摆平了. 配这首歌的那个舞也编得真好, 我, 我被它感动了~

Youtube是个坏东西

下午的时候本来我准备写的标题是”Youtube是个好东西”…你可以在上面找到无数想看的vedio…但是当我从下午5点不知不觉一直看到晚上9点多, 看完了各国dancing with the stars, 各种show dance (再赞美一下我的女神Karina~和无法形容的她的前任搭档Slavik– 偷偷放几个video链接说明一切: 4 1 2 3 o 5 6 7 8 9 …)然后发现还有so you think you can dance这个我曾经非常热爱的节目, 看到心满意足后偶尔链接到96年的Chicago的broadway show(97年获得tony奖)的片段, 然后……然后后天还要连考两门我看都没看完书…而且因为前几天看太多美人跳舞, 这两天考试时都不时走神, 脑海里突然浮现出那些印象深刻的舞们@_@

要克制住要克制住~~~

~~~

话说那个Chicago中间虽然经典片段很多, 但我最喜欢的还是cell block tango那一段, 几个女杀人犯讲她们为何入狱, 节奏舞蹈充满了tango的张力, 音乐容易上口, 歌词写的有趣极了, 真正的黑色幽默…尤其每次听到最后”I guess we broke up because of artistic difference” 都忍不住大笑.

以下是电影中的歌词:

And now the 6 merry murderesses of the cook county
jail in their rendition of the cell block tango

[部分开场词恕删]

[LIZ (Spoken)]
You know how people
have these little habits
That get you down. Like Bernie.
Bernie like to chew gum.
No, not chew. POP.
So I came home this one day
And I am really irritated, and I’m
looking for a bit of sympathy
and there’s Bernie layin’
on the couch, drinkin’ a beer
and chewin’. No, not chewin’.
Poppin’. So, I said to him,
I said, “you pop that
gum one more time…”
and he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wall
and I fired two warning shots…
…into his head.

[GIRLS]
He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame

If you’d have been there
If you’d have heard it
I betcha you would
Have done the same!

[ANNIE (Spoken)]
I met Ezekiel Young from
Salt Lake city about two years ago
and he told me he was single
and we hit it off right away.
So, we started living together.
He’d go to work, he’d come home, I’d
fix him a drink, We’d have dinner.
And then I found out,
“Single” he told me?
Single, my ass. Not only
was he married
…oh, no, he had six wives.
One of those Mormons, you know. So that
night, when he came home, I fixed him
his drink as usual.
You know, some guys just can’t hold
their arsenic.

[LIZ,ANNIE,JUNE,MONA]
Hah! He had it coming
He had it coming
He took a flower
In its prime
And then he used it
And he abused it
It was a murder
But not a crime!

[VELMA AND HUNYAK]
Pop, six, squish, uh-uh
Cicero, Lipschitz

[JUNE (Spoken)]
Now, I’m standing in the kitchen
carvin’ up the chicken for dinner,
minding my own business,
and in storms my husband Wilbur,
in a jealous rage.
“You been screwin’ the milkman,”
he says. He was crazy
and he kept screamin’,
“you been screwin the milkman.”
And then he ran into my knife.
He ran into my knife ten times..”

[ALL]
If you’d have been there
If you’d have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same!

[HUNYAK (Spoken)]
[说了一段大概是Espanol, 不懂, 恕删]

[JUNE (Spoken)]
Yeah, but did you do it?

[HUNYAK]
UH UH, not guilty!

[VELMA]
My sister, Veronica and
I had this double act
and my husband, Charlie,
traveled around with us.
Now, for the last number in
our act, we did 20 acrobatic tricks
one two three four,five…splits, spread eagles,
back flips,flip flops,
one right after the other.
Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero,
the three of us,
boozin’ and
havin’ a few laughs
when we run out of ice.
So I went out to get some.
I come back, open the door
and there’s Veronica and
Charlie doing Number Seventeen-
the spread eagle.

Well, I was in such a state of shock,
I completely blacked out.I can’t remember a thing.
It wasn’t until later,
when I was washing the blood off my hands
I even knew they were dead.

They had it coming
They had it coming
They had it coming all along
I didn’t do it
But if I’d done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?

[VELMA]
They had it coming
[GIRLS]
They had it coming
[VELMA]
They had it coming
[GIRLS]
They had it coming
[VELMA]
They had it coming
[GIRLS]
They took a flower
[VELMA]
All along
[GIRLS]
In its prime
[VELMA]
I didn’t do it
[GIRLS]
And then they used it
[VELMA]
But if I’d done it
[GIRLS]
And they abused it
[VELMA]
How could you tell me
[GIRLS]
It was a murder
[VELMA]
That I was wrong?
[GIRLS]
But not a crime!

[MONA]
I loved Alvin Lipschitz
more than I can possibly say.
He was a real artistic guy…
sensitive… a painter.
But
He was always trying
to find himself.
He’d go out every night
looking for himself
and on the way
he found Ruth,
Gladys,
Rosemary and Irving.
I guess you can say we broke
up because of artistic differences.
He saw himself as alive
and I saw him dead.

[后面是重复吟唱, 恕删]

我以热爱学习的好同志的名义发誓, 明天一分钟也不浪费(呃…睡觉和吃饭时收个信放松一下不算…扭捏底说).

ft, 发现错删了最后一段, 赶紧补上…
