Unfortunately this recording of Verdi's Requiem was a flawed interpretation from such a great conductor. From the barely heard opening of "Requiem aeternam" one recognises the gathering of a crowd in fear and sorrow, surrounded by a drizzly mist where death is immediately sensed. What is consistent built up by the music is the growing anxiety - only to be relieved when the tenor comes in singing "Kyrie eleison". In this recording, the conductor opted for a slow tempo, giving sufficient time and space for the opening lines to unfold, as was usually done in his Bruckner recordings. What we sense from this approach was despair rather than fear, more "dead" than "dread". This created confusion when the tenor burst into prayer "Lord have mercy on us" (with a breath in between as if unprepared, but not my key point) as the accumulation of the desire for a relief was missed and lost, giving its way to an extension of deathly depress. A similar analysis and conclusion can be carried out and drawn on the trumpet parts at the beginning of "Tuba mirum".
At the outset of this "academic-style" article, Celibidache's own words were quoted which itself involved some ambiguity to be clarified - "We gain more from the music by playing with a slower tempo", what was "more" referring to? The interpretation provided by the author seemed to be "to truthfully reveal the logic and intention behind the drama". Therefore the validity of the arguments should rely on an analytic reading of the score (rather than comparing with other interpretations) and appropriate quotes from relevant literature, and judgement should be based on whether the new effect gained is what was intended to be conveyed (rather than the discovery of some connotation). This is a beautifully written article which certainly contains more valuable ideas than what is summarised here. 作者: scfan 时间: 2017-7-21 10:34
