席夫!求求你别再弹巴赫啦!

The following article is from 音乐文献编译组 Author 音乐文献编译组


导言:这是一篇怼人的乐评,配合席夫本人的音乐服用效果更佳。今天这篇文章终于让我明白乐评家的嘴有多损了。还记得当年十七岁的斯特恩年少成名,自从看了报纸上写他乐评气得离家出走,从此3年不开演奏会玩命练琴。当年评论斯特恩的不过说了一句,“加州盛产橙子和小提琴家。”就把这个小胖子气哭了……今天这篇席夫的乐评真是无所不用其极地diss他,说他的音乐是催眠曲电梯音乐顺便黑了一把郎朗和休伊特。原文刊登在“乐评人之耳网”(The Critic's Ear)可点击文末阅读原文查看。我们只做搬运,不代表本公号意见,评论家你们是魔鬼吗?!



András Schiff, Piano: Bach, Inventions and Sinfonias

钢琴家席夫:巴赫的创意曲和交响曲

FROM:The Critic's Ear

 

 

For those who want to take the plunge into piano playing’s more tepid waters, an András Schiff disc is the ideal diving board. From Schubert to Haydn to Mozart, Schiff treats the music of all composers he plays as elevator music. His discography represents a compilation of bedtime tunes that could transport all but the most irremediable of night owls off to the sandman’s land in the time it took Dorothy to tap together her ruby slippers. Perhaps nowhere is Schiff’s sterile approach more celebrated than in Bach, whose music seems to attract more mediocre keyboardists than a porch light lures moths. What people see in this nosehair-tickling approach to Bach’s rhythmically robust, polyphonically complex compositions will, I’m afraid, forever escape me.

对于那些想投入钢琴演奏中不温不火的这片水域的听众来说,安德拉什·席夫的唱片是最理想的跳水板。从舒伯特到海顿到莫扎特,席夫把他演奏的所有作曲家的音乐变成了电梯音乐(电梯里单调的轻音乐)。他的唱片是睡前音乐的代表作合集,就在桃乐丝(爱丽丝梦游仙境中主人公)将她两支红宝石拖鞋轻轻敲击的这段时间里,这些音乐可以瞬间把所有的夜猫子(除了那些无可救药的)统统带到睡魔的领土上。希夫的平淡无奇的演奏方法在巴赫音乐的演奏中表现得最为突出,巴赫的音乐似乎比门廊灯光吸引更能吸引平庸的钢琴演奏者,也更能吸引飞蛾“扑火”。人们对巴赫的节奏强劲、调式复杂的作品所采取的隔靴搔痒的演奏方法恐怕永远也逃不过我的眼睛。


These renditions of the inventions and sinfonias boast nary an individual idea or turn of phrase. To be sure, though, there’s lots of smirking self-styling. With Schiff, you’ve come to the right place to hear insistent, heaving hesitations (second invention); twaddly, prissy staccati (third sinfonia); rushed, tinkly passagework (fourteenth invention); and awkward, anachronistic hand breakings (ninth sinfonia)—in short, his superimposition of tawdry ideas on the music to pander to our look-at-how-original-I-am times. Schiff has become a poster pianist for an age infected by musicological bloviating—an epidemic of windbag posturing inflicted on the world by the so-called historically informed.

席夫对创意曲和交响曲的演绎完全没有融入个人的想法或音乐处理手法。不过,可以肯定的是,他的演奏中有很多具有讽刺性的个人风格在内。在席夫的《第二创意曲》中你可以听到持续的、沉重的犹豫之感;《第三创意曲》满是废话连篇、百无聊赖的断奏;《第十四创意曲》匆忙凌乱而谨小慎微的炫技片段;以及《第九交响曲》中笨拙过时的Hand Breakings——简言之,他在音乐上叠加了各种俗气的想法,以迎合我们的视觉体验。席夫已经成了一个受这个时代音乐膨胀现象的“海报”钢琴家——这是一种由所谓的历史见多识广的人,强加给世界的跟风弄潮装腔作势的流行病。


Schiff and his groupies just don’t seem to realize that his jejeune touches and flaccid dynamics can’t create the illusion that he has something to say. Listening to his bland tone in selection after selection, I felt like a famished dog stumbling around a graveyard, hoping to find some meat on the bones strewn about me. Alas, I’m trapped, starving. And no light can be seen beyond the faceless mass of tombstones, save the sickeningly green glow that surrounds Schiff’s bilious ornaments and touches in such pieces as the third invention or the fifth sinfonia.

席夫和他的粉丝们似乎没有意识到他那浮夸的触感和无力的动力不能制造出他有话要说的假象。听着他在精心斟酌后平淡无奇的演奏,听他的音乐我觉得自己像一只饿狗在坟场附近蹒跚而行,本希望在我周围的骨头上找到一些肉。唉,可惜我被困住了,饿死了。除了席夫《第三创意曲》或者《第五交响曲》中令人作呕的装饰音和触键所散发绿色光芒外,在林林总总的无名墓碑间,看不到任何光明存在。



Sometimes I wonder whether such recordings are an indication that Bach playing on the piano has become a lost cause. Sorry to say, you can probably do worse with Bach than Schiff—by listening to Simone Dinerstein or Angela Hewitt, for example—two hacks who are now, mirabile dictu, well on their way to becoming forgotten hags. Yes, Schiff may not be quite as crude; his is just cautious, average playing that never pumps the heart or stirs the brain. Even Kissin and Lang Lang have a stronger effect on me: at least they make me laugh.

有时候我在想,席夫这样的录音是否表明巴赫音乐在钢琴演奏领域已注成败局。对不起,听听西蒙妮·迪尔斯坦或安吉拉·休伊特的演奏你会更讨厌巴赫——这两位乐坛黑马现在已经很好地成为了两个被人遗忘的丑老太婆(译者注:hack、hag发音相似此处为讽喻)。是的,席夫可没有那么粗鲁;他只是谨慎,一般的演出从不伤筋动骨惊心动魄。但相比之下即使是基辛和郎朗的演奏也对我也有更强的影响:至少他们让我发笑。
