极 颜 - [古典 Classical] 赫伯特·冯·卡拉扬 (Herbert von Karajan) - 1987年维也纳新年音乐会：指挥皇帝唯一执棒的世纪经典 的评论
视频简介1987年1月1日，维也纳金色大厅迎来了一场载入史册的音乐盛宴——指挥皇帝赫伯特·冯·卡拉扬首次也是唯一一次执棒维也纳新年音乐会，与维也纳爱乐乐团共同缔造了被评论界公认的“历史上空前绝后...
The camera work in this broadcast is also legendary. Close-ups of Karajan’s hands, his face, the musicians. You can see the concentration in the orchestra’s eyes. Visual art to match the audio.
《蓝色多瑙河》开头那段弦乐的颤音，卡拉扬处理得极其轻柔，像多瑙河上清晨的薄雾。然后主题缓缓流出，整个音乐厅都沉浸在那条河的美景里。
Karajan closed his eyes often during this concert. He wasn’t looking at the orchestra. He was listening, shaping the sound with his ears and his memory. Complete trust in his musicians.
《皇帝圆舞曲》里那段大提琴的旋律，卡拉扬让它们唱得如此深情。维也纳爱乐的大提琴声部本来就世界顶尖，在他的指挥下更是如歌如诉。
The “Ohne Sorgen” Polka as an encore was pure delight. Karajan’s tempo was perfectly judged—fast enough to thrill, slow enough to dance to. The orchestra’s precision was breathtaking.
卡拉扬在整场音乐会里几乎没有看镜头，全部注意力都在音乐上。但他的每一个表情都被镜头捕捉到了——专注、满足、偶尔的微笑。这是一个真实的大师，不是在表演。
The transition from “Frühlingsstimmen” to the next piece was seamless. Karajan held the silence for just the right amount of time. He understood that silence between pieces is as important as the music.
凯瑟琳·芭特尔演唱《春之声》时，卡拉扬用手势示意乐队再弱一点，再弱一点，直到她的声音完全透明地浮在弦乐之上。那一刻，金色大厅里只有春天。
This concert marked the beginning of the rotating conductor tradition. What a way to start. Karajan set the bar so high that every subsequent conductor has had to measure themselves against this performance.
卡拉扬1987年新年音乐会的录音，是我心目中古典音乐入门的最佳选择。旋律优美，演奏顶级，指挥传奇。每次推荐给朋友，没有人不爱上它。这就是经典的魅力。
