瓦格纳、捷杰耶夫和《帕西法尔》Wagner、Gergiev

2019年11月26日，捷杰耶夫携手马林斯基剧院的歌唱家带来瓦格纳的最后一部歌剧——长达五个半小时的音乐会版歌剧《帕西法尔》，我有幸在场聆听。

November 26, 2019, Valery Gergiev brought Wagner's last opera with the  Mariinsky’s singers. The opera lasted more than five hours. I'm lucky to be there.

瓦格纳，是德国历史上一位举足轻重的人物。他对世界音乐、文学、哲学和视觉艺术的发展都有重要的影响。弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉（Francis Ford Coppola）的《现代启示录》（Apocalypse Now）使用了瓦格纳歌剧《女武神的骑行》的主题作为配乐之一。

Wilhelm Richard Wagner, his Influence on music、literature, philosophy and the visual arts  is significant. Film scores citing Wagnerian themes are  Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, which features a version of the Ride of the Valkyries. 

 

因为他在政治、宗教方面思想的复杂性，成为欧洲音乐史上最具争议的人物。他去世后，关于他的思想及其解释的争论一直在继续，尤其是在20世纪的德国。

Wagner's operas, writings, politics, beliefs and unorthodox lifestyle made him a controversial figure during his lifetime. Following his death, debate about his ideas and their interpretation, particularly in Germany during the 20th century, has continued.

希特勒是瓦格纳音乐的崇拜者，希特勒一直称在瓦格纳的歌剧中看到了他对德国民族愿景的化身。在1922年的一次演讲中，他称瓦格纳的作品赞扬了“条顿人的英勇本性……伟大在于英勇。”

Adolf Hitler was an admirer of Wagner's music and saw in his operas an embodiment of his own vision of the German nation; in a 1922 speech he claimed that Wagner's works glorified "the heroic of Teutonic nature ... Greatness lies in the heroic."

瓦格纳的音乐和观点到底在多大程度上影响了纳粹思想，一直存在争论，我个人接受是纳粹利用瓦格纳思想中那些对其宣传有用的部分，忽略了其余部分。

There continues to be debate about the extent to which Wagner's views might have influenced Nazi‘s thinking. From my perspective, Nazis used those parts of Wagner's thought that were useful for propaganda and ignored or suppressed the rest.

捷杰耶夫，是俄罗斯著名指挥家，马林斯基剧院的艺术总监，伦敦交响乐团、慕尼黑爱乐乐团的首席指挥，有“音乐沙皇”的称号。

关于他的新闻网上有很多很多，我最佩服的是2016年5月5日他在叙利亚帕尔米拉圆形剧院遗址举行音乐会。众所周知，叙利亚至今还在战乱之中，他能在帕尔米拉刚刚解放就在那里举办音乐会，直接面对人类文明圣地从黑暗到光明的回归，用文明的声音去迎接文明本来的面貌，这才是真正伟大的音乐家。

There's a lot of news about him, but what I admire most is his concert at the ruins of the Amphitheatre in Palmyra, Syria, on May 5, 2016. As we know, Syria is still in the war, and he can hold a concert there just upon liberation in Palmyra, facing directly the holy sites of human civilization from darkness to the return of light, and with the voice of civilization to meet the original face of civilization, this is the greatest musician.

帕尔米拉圆形剧院是重要的人类文化遗址，“伊斯兰国”占领期间曾将此处用于处刑。

Palmyra's Amphitheatre is an important cultural site for humanity, which was used as a punishment during the Islamic State occupation.

《帕西法尔》是瓦格纳的最后一部歌剧作品，也是这一作品中男主角的名字，是以圆桌武士为题材的作品，描写的是男主角通过考验成圣的过程。这是一部神奇的作品，得到很高的评价。

"Parsifal" is Wagner's last opera, is also the name of the hero in this work, based on the round-table samurai-themed work, describing the process before the hero become a saint. This is an amazing opera and was highly rated.

古斯塔夫·马勒在1883年看过这部歌剧后写信给一位朋友：“我很难向你描述我现在的状态。当我从剧院走出时，我完全被迷住了，我明白了最伟大、最痛苦的启示就在我眼前，它将伴随着我度过余生。”

Gustav Mahler was also presented in 1883 and he wrote to a friend; "I can hardly describe my present state to you. When I came out of the Festspielhaus, I was completely spellbound, I understood that the greatest and most painful revelation had just been made to me, and that I would carry it unspoiled for the rest of my life."

阿希尔 克洛德·德彪西在1903年写道:“无与伦比，令人困惑，精彩而强大，帕西法尔是最可爱的音乐纪念碑之一，它给听众带来了音乐宁静的光辉。”

Achille-Claude Debussy in 1903 wrote that musically was: "Incomparable and bewildering, splendid and strong. Parsifal is one of the loveliest monuments of sound ever raised to the serene glory of music."
