如果将瓦格纳、布鲁克纳与勃拉姆斯这三位作曲家放在一起并作为话题的中心来谈论交响乐,听来颇有“奢华”之感。这题目太大,做博士论文或写学术专著都可以。但是,德累斯顿国家管弦乐团(Staatskapelle Dresden)2012年10月底在上海大剧院举行的两场音乐会实在是太有吸引力了,它让我们不得不直面三位大师的创作,将其作为一个“音乐史话题”来言说晚期浪漫派交响乐艺术的辉煌。 If you put together the three composers Wagner, Brückner and Brahms and talk about the symphony as the center of the conversation, it sounds like “extravagant”. This topic is too large, do doctoral dissertation or write monographs can be. However, the two concerts held by the Staatskapelle Dresden at the Shanghai Grand Theater at the end of October 2012 were so appealing that we had to confront the creation of the three masters as A “music history topic ” to speak of the brilliant art of the late romantic symphony.
