馬克拉斯

Charles Mackerras

簡介:

雖然英國指揮家在國際間獲得肯定，其實是近三、四十年間的事，大概是從柯林戴維斯爵士踏上拜魯特音樂節開始，而且即使在那之後，連英國人也都還對英國指揮家半信半疑，一直到拉圖就任柏林愛樂才讓情形改觀。但是澳洲指揮家馬克拉斯卻是從六零年代，就一直對樂壇發揮著影響力，左右著我們的視聽。從澳洲到英國發展後，馬克拉斯先是投入古樂運動和當時已經淡出樂界話題的吉伯特與沙利文輕歌劇，而且他在這方面的研究和指揮很快就嶄露頭角，他指揮的韓德爾歌劇和神劇錄音，在那個許多歌劇院和唱片公司都渴望能演出韓德爾歌劇作品的年代，可以說是解決了他們的人才缺。而他對沙利文喜歌劇的研究，更進一步讓他重建了沙利文遺失的大提琴協奏曲。這首協奏曲原本是有手稿存在的，但這全世界唯一的曲譜卻在1964年因大火而毀於一旦，所幸馬克拉斯十一年前指揮過此曲，他憑著驚人的記憶力，將腦海中的此曲片段喚回來重建而成，可以說是史上最傳奇的一件音樂軼事。五零年代馬克拉斯他更因鑽研沙利文喜歌劇而創生了改編自沙利文作品名曲的芭蕾舞劇「鳳梨波爾」（Pineapple Poll），此劇至今都還是膾炙人口的名作。然後同時他也是當時最知名的莫札特歌劇權威，更重要的是，他為了推廣楊納傑克歌劇，還特地親赴捷克，追隨名指揮家塔利希（Vaclav Talich）在布拉格音樂院學習楊納傑克歌劇詮釋，並在回到西方後錄了楊納傑克歌劇全集。馬克拉斯這樣的勤奮和好學，以及對音樂的熱情，讓他在二零一零年過世後，成為非常受到懷念的指揮家，去世一年至今，他的錄音在英國更衝到古典排行榜第一名始終不退。

這套錄音中，收錄了很多馬克拉斯在EMI灌錄卻一直沒有再版的錄音，其中最珍貴的就是1986年和大提琴家韋伯（音樂劇「貓」和「歌劇魅影」作曲家的弟弟）合錄的沙利文大提琴協奏曲，此曲是世界首度錄音，應該也是唯一的錄音。而他改編的知名的芭蕾舞劇「鳳梨波爾」也收錄在這裡。另外，他指揮的馬勒第五號，這很少為人所知，這是1990年的錄音，也在這裡首度再版。
