Pablo Casals：Bach in my mind

卡萨尔斯：我眼中的巴赫

From the Gramophone

The man who arguably put the cello on the musical map in the 20th century, Casals was an inspiring musician. He rescued the Bach cello suites and his premiere recording for HMV remains a classic. An avowed opponent of Franco’s regime, Casals established a festival in Prades on the French-Spanish border. Late in life he gave inspiring masterclasses and encouraged many young players.

卡萨尔斯是一位鼓舞人心的音乐家在20世纪音乐地版图描绘下大提琴的倩影。他挽救了巴赫的大提琴组曲的音乐地位，他在“大师之声”（HMV）的首演录音如今仍堪称经典。作为佛朗哥政权的公开反对者，卡萨尔斯在法国和西班牙边境的普拉德地区创立了一个节日。在晚年，他开设了富有启迪性的大师课，并因此激励了许多年轻演奏家。

'A child learns how to speak by imitating its parents’ voices. I found my musical voice after a long voyage at which beginning stood the great Catalan cellist Pablo Casals. He was my first idol. I bought every single LP I could get my hands on and for the longest time I wanted to sound like him.

“孩子通过模仿父母的声音来学习说话”。兜兜转转之后我找到了属于我的乐音，开始时，伟大的加泰罗尼亚大提琴家帕勃罗·卡萨尔斯中堪称典范。他是我的第一个偶像。他是我的第一个偶像。我买了我能买到的每一张唱片，在很长一段时间里，我想模仿他的音色。

Alban Gerhardt:I loved his intensity, articulation, the ‘interpretative’ intonation – even the grunting I adored. For me, cello-playing was only a substitution for not being able to sing as beautifully as my mother could, so it made sense to take Casals as a role model. For him, ‘singing’ was not only producing a nice sound (which he did), but also making the music ‘speak’. 

大提琴家阿尔班·葛哈德说：我喜欢他那强烈、清晰的发音、“阐释性”的音调–甚至是我喜欢的那种“低声细语”。对我来说，拉大提琴只是在我不能像我母亲那样成为一个好歌唱家的无奈之选，所以我把卡萨尔斯当作一个榜样是有道理的。对他来说，让琴“歌唱”不仅仅是发出好听的声音（他确实如此尝试过），而且还需使音乐说话。

'He was a unique and complete musician. By discovering the beauty of Bach’s Cello Suites, he established them as a bible for all cellists, and his recordings of them are still an inspiration.'

“卡萨尔斯是一个独一无二的、真正意义上的音乐家。”通过发现巴赫的大提琴组曲的美，他为所有大提琴演奏家树立了巴赫大无的演奏圣经，并且他的录音如今仍在启迪后世人。
