情人的藍眼睛
Songs of a Wayfarer
Die Zwei blauen Augen
附後是舊文一篇,供參考
在馬勒的早期作品流浪者之歌組曲(Songs of a Wayfarer) 當中,有一首異常動聽:「情人 的藍眼睛」(Die zwei blauen Augen)
這就是後來在馬勒第一交響曲中的「獵人喪 禮進行曲」。
李察曾介紹過此曲的電影改編版。 是Uri Caine 改編的。他用異常沈重的低音, 把送喪場面敲出。 只是很難想像,這同一首曲子的前身,是一 首情歌。調子完全一樣,氣氛絕對不同。小號好 手 Rick Bogard 把這曲子用小號吹出,意料不 到,原來小號可以如此柔美。就好像一個情人, 在你午夜的窗下唱歌。而小號不是歌。小號只是 赤裸裸的聲音。又如果你能夠買到Anne Sofie Von Otter 的歌唱版本,才是真的歌。那種女性 的溫柔,會令你失魂。
真是很奇怪的變化:進行曲怎會 變成赤裸小號,而小號又怎變為溫柔女性。

近乎絕對完美的聖母頌
李察不斷的在找尋一首最好的聖母頌。多年前找到的一首,曾在香港電台的morning call 節目中出現過一次。那是2007.3.26 上午近十一時左右的事。那時,還曾經把一條完整的link 刊出。但最近,這一條link 也無法在香港電台的data base 中找到了。只能記住,是一位法國指揮家Nicholas Porte 的演出。
以上的,卻是另一位也很好的女歌唱家的作品 。真正知音的朋友,自然也會知道,這種音樂,不是用聲音來唱的,而是用生命的全部力量去唱的。就算唱完就會死,也是這樣樣唱的。

誰能幫幫這位音樂愛好者?
I have an iPod and it was hooked up to my old computer, but my old computer got a virus and I had to throw it out. I have all of my music on my iPod. I bought a new computer and I downloaded iTunes on it, how can I get the music on my iPod into the iTunes library of my new computer? I've done it before, but I have no idea how. It keeps saying that the iPod is already synced to another computer, and asking me if I want to delete all of the music on it. I want to keep the music on my iPod. Please help me, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

密斯瑪公主的故事
手風琴美在那裡?
或者,這手風琴(Bandoneon)的確是屬於阿根廷的。據說,阿根廷的音樂比較冷靜理智,而巴西
的音樂則比較熱情。
請看以下片段,看看能不能真真正正的感動你。
密斯瑪公主的故事
Yes I've seen this one before, very touching! It's really very moving to see how she tears and the emotional bonding between the couple, they were so in love and genuine. I think Princess Maxima is more beautiful than Diana la.
Do u know the sad story behind this, Maxima's dad (and mum) was not invited and not welcomed in this wedding, coz of a political row, due to controversy he might be involved in the Argentinian 'Dirty War'
So, Maxima was paying tribute to her dad by selecting this music which means 'Goodbye father' as it was written by Piazzolla on the day he heard his father died. This was also the favourite piece of Maxima's dad.
from http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f31/crown-prince-willem-alexander-and-m-xima-zorreguieta-2-2-2002-a-4386-11.html
"Just about "Adiós Nonino": Astor Piazzolla wrote this tango the night his father died. He was abroad in a tour, he cried when he knew and, being the great musician he was, wrote the music. Nonino was his father's nickname. The music has two parts, one faster and an adagio. It is said that the adagio represents the crying for the father's absence. Piazzolla is one of the favourite composers of Maxima's father. And "Adios Nonino" is about a father's absence. It's easy to understand why she, and everybody around the world, was so moved."

ave maria 為甚麼我沒有學吉他?
為甚麼我沒有學吉他?
………………………………………………………李察(問到底No.8208 2011 0807 Sunday)
吉他是個粗鄙的名詞。吉他本來有個美麗名詞的。愛看六十年代台灣小說的人,或者會記得,吉他的本來名字,叫做「六弦琴」。那時的青年人,帶著一隻六弦琴,坐一艘小艇,就在日月潭上蕩,一邊蕩,一邊唱歌。
但是,我並沒有學吉他。連小提琴 也沒有學。只學過一陣子的口琴,也是一陣子之後,便忘記了。
我不斷的問自己:為甚麼我沒有學吉他?
其實是應該問:為甚麼我不能唱歌?僅有的一首歌,唱出來,都把人嚇死了。為甚麼我不能唱歌?如果我能唱一點,或者,我會學好吉他的。有了吉他,或者簡直是有了電吉他,連那好多很響很響的鼓和鑼,噢,我們的重金屬樂隊便會形成了。
直到如今,每次想起來,都有一點點的懊惱。為甚麼我沒有學吉他?
當然不是到日月潭裡搖船用的。那是另有用途的。
或者,重金屬的搖擺歌聲,真是能夠喚醒時代的。
如果我有很響亮的鼓,很尖銳的吉他,很粗礦的歌,我會喚醒一切人的。
但是,沒有。
我這生命裡,學過很多很多東西,都是半途放棄了。只有唯一沒有放棄的是這一件。我從來沒有放棄寫作的。但寫作能夠喚醒時代嗎?我的夢,太遠了。

他怎能彈得這樣好?
他怎能彈得這樣好?
………………………………………………………李察
(問到底No.8201 2011 0731 Sunday)
*星期天籟*
每一次聽柯洛維茲(Vladimir Horowitz),都有一種莫名的感動。有一張DVD 是他彈奏莫扎特鋼琴協奏曲第二十三首的現場錄影。以下顯示的只是其中的片段。這是很有視覺效果的錄影,你可以親眼目睹,他怎樣把莫扎特原原本本地呈現出來。他異常地輕鬆、天真。八十幾歲,動作和表情,卻像個小孩。也所以,看錄影是很難投入去的。因為,他的表情太吸引了。
是必要你離開了畫面,從聲音去感受。
到底他的那種輕鬆和溫柔的感覺,是從那裡來的?
如果是Alfred Brendel ,或者就太嚴肅了。那是不太適合莫扎特的。莫扎特自己,也是個小孩子。而小孩子是不適合成年音樂的。
他二十幾歲,就被迫離開俄國,流浪他鄉。要到六十一年之後,到了八十三歲,才再重新回到俄國。
這六十一年裡,他是怎樣過的?真希望找他的傳記來細看。這六十一年裡,他彈過些甚麼?李察也不太清楚。李察只聽過他的一兩場錄音。
但問題是,此刻讓我們看到的,這一位老年的、溫柔的、輕鬆的鋼琴家,他的層次,是從那裡來的?他怎能彈得這樣好?
相信這也是無數年輕音樂家的共同問題。
而那絕對不是苦練得來的。這一種面對世界的溫柔,是他六十一年受苦得來的層次呢。
