Classicalmusic Conjurors 古典音乐 音乐的魔术 Music as Alchemy: Journeys with Great Conductors and Their Orchestras. 音乐就像点石成金一段与伟大的指挥家和乐团的奇妙旅程。 IN FANTASIA, Walt Disney s 1940 film of musically inspired animations, each piecebegins and ends in the same way, with the silhouetted figure of Leopold Stokowski, a Britishconductor who died in 1977. He stands alone against a dark red background while themysterious movements of his hands conjure the music in and out of being. Fantasia washugely popular, and made a notable contribution to cultivating a wider appreciation ofclassical music. But it also unwittingly peddled the still pervasive myth that conductorsare, in effect, magicianssorcerers who single-handedly extract waves of finely variegatedsound out of thin air. 1940年沃特迪士尼拍摄了音乐动画幻想曲，每一段的开始和结束都是利奥波德斯托科夫斯基的剪影。而这位英国指挥家于1977年去世。他独站在深红色背景前，手上的动作充满了神秘色彩，音乐便随着动作此起彼伏。幻想曲获得了巨大的成功，并且它对古典音乐新诠释所做出的贡献也非同一般。但它也无意中增加了指挥家的神秘色彩，时至今日人们仍然觉得不可思议，好像他们就是魔术师独自一人就凭空变出变幻莫测的美妙声音。 |
