TCO on 2009/05/09: Sarod Meets Chinese Orchestra—絃語繽紛 3-2

In one night Qiang Zhang & Taipei Chinese Orchestra delivered two pipa concertos. Let’s talk about the Butterfly Lovers' Pipa Concerto in advance. The soloist’s music technique is very good; nevertheless, the Zhu Yingtai is played like Hua Mulan who is hurriedly sending herself in her father’s place in the army. Actually, it is a little disaster, but at last the audience was clapping loudly. Taiwanese is too kind, isn’t?

中國琵琶家張強今晚與台北市立國樂團合作兩首協奏曲,先談談壓軸的「梁祝琵琶協奏曲」好了。獨奏的技巧很好,但對曲子沒有非常深入的領悟:要甜美時不甜美、該幽怨時太強悍。彈起來根本不像祝英台,反倒像是花木蘭,還是匆匆忙忙、莽莽撞撞,急著要上戰場代父從軍時的花木蘭。終於,這應該算是場小小災難的表演完畢;可是,掌聲卻非常熱烈。A-Mao不禁心想:台灣的聽眾實在是太善良了。真的!

As for the Little Sisters of the Grassland Pipa Concerto, it is accompanied seamlessly by Amy Chang & TCO and performed greatly by Qiang Zhang! There are five parts of this concerto: tending sheep, fighting with the tempest, processing in the cold night, remembering the people’s kindness & blossom of red flowers, which reminded A-Mao of one event in Taiwan before……

但是,開場的「草原小姐妹琵琶協奏曲」,張強與張佳韻及北市國配合得棒極了!壹、草原放牧:爽朗的琵琶與逗趣的旋律,勾勒出塞外風情。貳、與暴風雪搏鬥:琵琶以多彩的技巧,敘述小姐妹倆堅定地與代表暴風雪的樂團博鬥。參、搜尋:對岸原標題為“在寒夜中前進”,旋律優美動人,但很難聯想到標題。肆、感動:對岸原標題為“黨的關懷記心間”。這……這也太政治了吧!伍、花兒遍地開:琵琶火力全開,是很讓人感動與振奮的樂段。對了,對岸原標題叫“千萬朵紅花遍地開”。

  1. 我跟你的感覺剛好相反,我覺得梁祝比小姐妹從容,雖然兩個都偏趕,不過你好想比較著重在他「強悍」的部分。我的感想更新了,歡迎你再來看一次:)
