有板友希望看這篇文章，所以我就把她打出來了，因為這是雜誌的內容，沒有網路版本 so....文章有點長，畢竟是跨頁十頁的大幅報導，請見諒。 The world's greatest orchestras The votes are in. Time to celebrate the best of the best. It's classical title showdown! Swapping gloves for glissandi and punches for prestos, players from around the globe square up for the holy contested spot of World's Best Symphony Orchestra. Ranking the heavy hitters is by no means any easy task, but Gramophone has manfully taken the job in hand. Our panel of leading music critics comprised: James Inverne, James Jolly( all from Gramophone, UK), Alex Ross ( the New Yorker, US), Mark Swed( Los Angeles Times, US),Wilhelm Sinkovicz (Die Presse, Austria), Renaud Machart( Le Monde, France), Manuel Brug( Die Welt, Germany), Thiemo Wind( Die Telegraaf, the Netherlands), Zhou Yingjuan( editor,Gramophone China) and Soyeon Nam(editor,Gramophone Korea) To compare like with like, we have limited ourselves to comparing modern romantic orchestras rather than period bands, but apart from that distinction it's completely open field. The panel have considered the qustion form all angles--judging concert performances as well as recording output,contributions to local and national communities and the ability to maintain iconic status in an increasingly competitive contemporary climate. The results have proven fascinating and will no doubt be as controversial as the qustion itself. But if nothing else, the task gives us all a chance to celebrate the forerunners of exciting, cutting-edge music-making.And that can't be a bad thing...... 10 Dresden Staatskapelle This is one of the very few orchestras with it's own distinctives sound. By whichI mean a sound that is, perhaps more than with any other orchestra, immediately regonisable. This has to do with the orchestra's heritage, somewhat with the fact that it was isolated during the Cold War, and also with the players' awareness of this sound and their own wish to preserve it. And so the players pass on the knowledge of how to produce it to their pupils, who often succeed them in the orchestra. I admit, my name is Nikolaj Znaider and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to this orchestra and to the intoxicating, central European sound it creats today and that can be heard even on those old recordings under Wilhelm Furtwangler from the 1940s and '50s. It's and orchestral sound that almost no longer exists elsewhere. It's hard to describe, because to do that aesthetically define it as a dark, wooden quality. Less subjectively, the Dresden players play music the way I believe it should be played -- with what is invariablly called " a chamber -music quality". That of course simply means actively listening to what goes on around you and relating what you do to that. With certain orchestras, definitely this one, you sense that every musician takes responsiblity not just for their own part ut for the music as a whole. As I grow and develop, increasingly I have a need for that act of creating something that does not yet exist-- somethign that must be brought into the physical world from the metaphysical. To do that it's not enought to play my solo violin part; it is vital to play with a great conductor and a great orchestra, woth people who have musical vision and share that need to express collectively something in the music. So I play with the Staatskapelle whenever I can.Recently I have started sitting in the orchestra for a concert's second half. Last year we played some dates in Dresden and each time after the interval I sat with them to play Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. To be in the midst of this group of people thinking and breathing as one, while still acting as individuals taking responsibility for their part in the whole, is the ideal. I can't imagine any list of the world's great orchestra without the Dresden Staatskapelle at or near the top. by Nikolaj Znaider violinist Nikolaj Znaider returns to conduct and play with the Staatskapelle in January 2009, for concerts marking Mendelssohn's 200th anniversary the article is extracted from the magazine "Gramophone" December 2008. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 86.2.188.78
