这世间有许多杰出的作曲家,尽管作品深受爱戴,但对音乐史的变革并没有做出太多贡献。只有少数作曲家能够做到集前人之大成,开后人之先河。巴赫、勋伯格、瓦格纳和贝多芬都是个中佼佼者,充满了创新精神。古典音乐的演出界也同样如此。在帕布罗·卡萨尔斯之前,人们通常以为大提琴是一件连音都拉不准的乐器。卡萨尔斯通过演释巴赫的大提琴组曲改变了人们对大提琴的概念,让我们的听觉体验发生了一次翻天覆地的变革。迪特里希·菲舍尔-迪斯考(Dietrich FischerDieskau)也是这样的变革者。他二十二岁时就初次登台演唱艺术歌曲,次年就在柏林国立歌剧院首度亮相,演唱威尔第歌剧《唐·卡洛斯》中的波萨。这在当时看来显得不可思议。在那 There are many outstanding composers in this world. Although their works are deeply loved, they have not made much contribution to the change of music history. Only a few composers can accomplish the accomplishments of their predecessors and open the way for future generations. Bach, Schoenberg, Wagner and Beethoven are among the best, full of innovation. The same is true of the performance of classical music. Before Pablo Casals, it was common to think that the cello was a piece of music that was not even soundtracks. Casals transformed the concept of the cello by interpreting Bach’s cello suite, which brought about a dramatic change in our auditory experience. Dietrich Fischer Dieskau is also such a transformator. When he was twenty-two, he made his debut singing art songs, the following year debuted at the Berlin State Opera, where he starred in Posada in Verdi’s opera Don Carlos. This seems inconceivable at the time. Over there
