以色列怎樣慶祝建國四十周年?

以色列怎樣慶祝建國四十周年?
(問到底 No.6888 2007 1223 Sunday)

*星期天籟*
說起來,李察好像遭受特殊恩寵,有機會親與其
事,親自去到西奈半島,去到一處名為Masada的特
殊地方,親自出席一場有四千人從地球四個角落擁來
的宏大音樂會。未曾親見其事,未曾親聆其音的人,
是很難了解以色列這個國家的。

其實,李察只是意外發掘了一套一九八九年的VHS
現場錄影而已。他們在沙漠巨崖下,建造了一所宏偉
的露天音樂所,演奏的,正是馬勒的第二交響曲:「復
活」。本來,馬勒已經脫離猶太教,虔信與猶太教水
火不容的天主教。但以色列人以為不重要。重要的是,
他們欣賞其中的「復活」精神。

  地球上只有兩首交響曲,可以代表人類精神。其
一是貝多芬的第九,其二是馬勒的第二。無論甚麼思
維系統的人,都可從中吸收到充足的能量。

以色列人聘請梅塔(Zubin Mehta) 指揮。他的
指揮風格,陽剛有力。剛好代表了以色列的拼搏前衝
精神。但欠缺的是內在衝突。以色列人看不見自己的
內在弱點,正是他們的死穴。


  以下是以色列人特別欣賞的馬勒第二部份曲詞:
You will rise again my dust, after a short repose!
Immortal life will grant you He who summoned you!
To bloom again your seed is sown: The Lord of
harvest goes forth to bind the sheaves of us who
dies.
Believe, my heart, nothing is lost to you. All is
yours, yes, all that you have loved and striven
for. Believe, you were not born in vain!
You have lived and suffered in vain. What was born
must go, What has gone shall rise again. Be not
fearful. Prepare to live. O Pain, penetrating all,
I have escaped you! O Death, conquering all, Now
you are conquered! With wings I have won for
myself in fervent love, I shall soar to the Light
no eyes have seen! With wings I have won for myself
I shall soar; I shall die in order to live again.
You will rise again, my heart, in a moment, Though
stricken, borne aloft to God!
