中國古典的調(diào)“琴”圣手
The Yo-Yo That Only Goes Up
Ask anyone to name a well-known classical musician of modern times and it's a pretty safe bet that one name in particular will crop up repeatedly. Yo-Yo Ma, probably the world's greatest living cellist, is enjoying a level of popularity almost unpre
cedented for a classical musician in the electronic age.
Yo-Yo Ma was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris. A cello prodigy at the age of four, he entered the prestigious Juilliard School in 1962. His first big achievement came in 1978, when he received the Avery Fisher Prize. Soon after graduating from Harvard University, Ma began a long love affair with Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, which culminated in his reinterpretation of the pieces in a series of Canadian films.
Ma has gone on to experiment widely with other types of music. He has tried his hand at everything from country and western to traditional Chinese melodies, the latter most recently featuring significantly on the sound track of the hit film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. He has even explored the rhythms of the Bush people of the Kalahari Desert in Africa.
With the success of Yo-Yo Ma's recent concerts, a warm welcome is pretty much guaranteed whenever this versatile performer decides to visit. In the meantime, concertgoers eagerly anticipate another feast of musical magic from his talented bow and awesome repertoire.
中國古典的調(diào)“琴”圣手--馬友友
要中國人舉出一位當(dāng)代的古典音樂家，這個(gè)名字保證在他們口中不斷重復(fù)出現(xiàn)──馬友友。馬友友堪稱時(shí)下最偉大的大提琴家，以古典音樂家的身份能在這個(gè)電子時(shí)代廣受歡迎，幾乎史無前例。
馬友友出生于1955年，父母是旅居巴黎的中國人。他四歲便被視為大提琴神童，七歲便進(jìn)入享譽(yù)全球的茱莉亞音樂學(xué)校就讀。1978年他嶄露頭角，贏得艾維·費(fèi)雪獎(jiǎng)。不久后馬友友自哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)，開始沉浸于巴哈的大提琴獨(dú)奏組曲，并重新詮釋系列加拿大影片中的幾首樂曲，他紅極一時(shí)。
馬友友也廣泛涉獵其他類型的音樂。從鄉(xiāng)村音樂、西洋音樂到傳統(tǒng)的中國樂曲，他都有所嘗試，他為賣座電影《臥虎藏龍》演奏的原聲配樂是近年來最富盛名的中國音樂作品。此外，他甚至還研究了非洲卡拉哈里沙漠內(nèi)地人民的音律。
有了上次音樂會(huì)的完美演出，相信這位才華洋溢的演奏家再次蒞臨定會(huì)受到更熱情的歡迎。同時(shí)，每位愛樂者都將引領(lǐng)企盼下一場魔力音樂的饗宴，再次領(lǐng)略他絕倫的拉弓風(fēng)采及精湛的曲目表演。
