Acclaimed conductor Oleg Caetani will lead the Hong Kong Philharmonic in The Rite of Spring in May. He delves into the world of Stravinsky’s music with Jonathan Douglas, discussing the influential roles of Rimsky-Korsakov, nature and Russian folk culture in the creation of the groundbreaking work, along with cross references of other significant Russian operas and ballets.

It has an element of French the river breaking at the beginning of spring, it’s just a huge impressionism that comes from the Firebird. Stravinsky met scream, and when you hear the horns in The Rite of Spring Debussy in Paris, they became friends and he certainly learnt with glissandi it’s really the same noise. from Debussy. Let’s say at the end of the day you have the There are many things in The Rite of Spring that come from French impressionist, the French salon, you have the French Rimsky-Korsakov. We see it as a manifestation of the music refinement, and you have old Russia, pre Christian Russia of the 20th century. We see its modernity. But it has strong with its quite barbarian elements, and both things make the and deep roots in Russian music and in Rimsky-Korsakov miracle of The Rite of Spring. because Stravinsky studied with him.

He said himself that so much comes from there. Rimsky had an influence on Scriabin, on so many composers. J : Was it also from Rimsky-Korsakov’s music that Stravinsky drew for his jagged rhythmical energy and drive? O : Surely. Surely the changes of speed, the passing of time between 3, 2 and 1. You already find that in Scheherazade strongly. J : You use the word ‘miracle’ earlier to describe The Rite of Spring. Of course many feel it’s a work of great inspiration and Stravinsky talked about it himself in terms of being in a trance – ‘the vessel’ through which it flows. Do you feel the sense of inspiration when you conduct this music?

All that is very strong. The Surrey-born conductor, who passed away 14 April at age 85, made his Hong Kong debut with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO). They gave three concerts in a row, on 17-19 November 1964, at the two-year old City Hall Concert Hall. Davis, then 37 - transcribed by Jacqueline Leung years of age, was taking the orchestra on its first worldwide tour in celebration of its 60th anniversary. It was a great success, and they returned two years later for British Week in March 1966. There, Davis and the LSO were joined by Hong Kong pianist Patsy Toh, now Mrs. Fou Tsong, in Beethoven‘s Fourth Piano Concerto. Those overseas tours of Davis and the LSO sealed a lifetime partnership for both parties. Davis was its Principal Conductor for eleven years, covering 1995 to 2006. When he became the Orchestra’s President in 2007, he recalled the tumultuous relationships with the LSO players in the early days: ‘I was a raw young man and they were a pretty ferocious bunch of pirates…and we had lots of battles.’ In addition to directing the LSO, Davis glowed in equal brilliance in his overseas engagements, leading as Boston Symphony Orchestra as Principal Guest Conductor (1972-1984) and the Bavaria Radio Symphony Orchestra as Music Director (1983- 1992). The Sibelius symphony-cycle with the former and the Beethoven cycle with the latter attest to his exceptional artistry. But none would exceed his legendare direction of the Berlioz series with LSO, part of which he showcased here in Hong Kong half a century ago.

Four Operas in The Ring

Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelungs) is probably the most

Triboletpyt/Wikimedia Commons Triboletpyt/Wikimedia revolutionary work in the entire opera repertoire. Four operas lasting 15 hours with dozens of named characters, The Ring places superhuman demands on singers and orchestras. Not only did Wagner design new instruments for The Ring but also had a new opera house built.

True to its nature, The Ring was sparked off by revolutionary fervour. In 1848, the fires of revolution spread across Europe. Dresden, where Wagner was the Court Conductor, was no exception. After Lohengrin, Wagner made plans for a new opera, while writing inflammatory essays against the monarchy. A riot broke out the next year. Wagner took the side of the insurrectionists but the riot was quickly put out.

Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung

A wanted man, Wagner fled to Switzerland. By then his ‘poem’ or the libretto of Siegfrieds Tod (The Death of Siegfried), later renamed as Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), was completed. He felt that one opera was not enough, so he wrote a prequel Der junge Siegfried (The Young Siegfried), known today as Siegfried. Wagner worked his way back with two more operas, Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold) and Die Walküre (The Valkyries). They form the tetralogy we know as The Ring.

Wagner borrowed widely from Greek mythology, various Nordic sagas, the medieval epic poem Die Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), and even some Grimm fairy tales. To make a long story short, an all-powerful magic ring is coveted by gods, humans, giants, and dwarves. After much scheming and killing, the gods are consumed by fire and humans become the lords of the world.

A Drama Composed in Music with Leitmotifs

According to Wagner, an opera should be likened to a musical form, the equivalent of a drama composed in music. He also raises the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk (Total Work of Art), stating that opera is not just a musical form, but the apotheosis of all arts, such as drama, dance, and plastic arts.

Wagner devised a scheme of leitmotifs to identity characters, objects, and even emotions. A leitmotif is a short but distinctive melody or rhythm. Once played by the orchestra, audiences can refresh their memories on what has happened previously and may even get a hint of what is to come.

The Festspielhaus in Bayreuth

Wagner’s big fan, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, supported his dream of building a brand new opera house. The Festspielhaus (Festival Theatre) was built in Bayreuth, a town in southern Germany. The building still stands to this day. The most novel aspect of the house is that the orchestra pit is placed beneath the stage, allowing a perfect blend of singers and the orchestra.

Wagner took 26 years to complete The Ring. The entire work had its first performances in August 1876. They were attended by notable composers such as Liszt, Tchaikovsky, and Bruckner. This was also the prototype of the present Bayreuth Festival, which takes place every summer. To see The Ring in Bayreuth remains the dream of every Wagnerian around the world, and tickets at Bayreuth itself are very hard to get. It is reported that for the 2011 Bayreuth Festival, 320,000 ticket requests were made for total of 53,900 available tickets. Caricature of Wagner

《尼伯龍的指環》中的四齣歌劇

華格納的《尼伯龍的指環》可能是歌劇史中最具革命性的作品,四 齣歌劇共長十五小時、數十個登場角色、對樂隊及歌手都有超人要 求,華格納為作品訂造了新的樂器,連歌劇院也要新建一座。

《尼伯龍的指環》確實由革命催生,1848年革命浪潮席捲歐洲,華 格納身處的德累斯頓也不例外。華格納剛完成《羅恩格林》,一面 構思新歌劇,一面發表反對帝制的政治文章。翌年德累斯頓爆發動 亂,華格納踴躍參與,但革命迅即被軍隊鎮壓。

《萊茵河的黃金》、《女武神》、《齊格弗里德》及《神界的黃昏》

華格納被通緝,逃到瑞士,期間他已完成《齊格弗里德》(即《神界的黃昏》) 的劇本。他發覺一部歌劇不能說完故事,便 寫了「前傳」《少年齊格弗里德》(即《齊格弗里德》),意猶未盡,再於前面加多兩齣:《萊茵河的黃金》及《女武神》, 合成四部曲的《尼伯龍的指環》。

華格納從希臘神話、北歐神話、中古詩歌《尼伯龍之歌》,甚至格林童話取材,構成宏大的神話世界。一隻法力無邊的指 環引來神、魔、人的爭鬥,最後指環回歸萊茵河底,神界焚毁,世界終由人類統治。

設有「主導動機」的「樂劇」

華格納將其「樂劇」的概念實踐,歌劇不再是詠歎調、宣敍調、二重唱的串連,而是有如交響曲的音樂結構。華格納又提出 「整體藝術」的概念,主張歌劇不單是音樂,而是集戲劇、舞蹈、平面藝術等於一體。

由於規模宏大、人物眾多,華格納以一套「主導動機」系統,為不同人物、物件或情緒冠上簡短的旋律,樂隊奏出某人物的 動機,即能令觀眾回想先前的劇情,更能含蓄地預示之後的發展。

拜羅伊特「節日劇院」

華格納認為歐洲的歌劇院,無一達其要求。巴伐利亞國 王路德維二世是華格納迷,得其支持,華格納在德國南 部小城拜羅伊特,興建新的歌劇院,名為「節日劇院」, 屹立至今。「節日劇院」最新穎的設計意念,是把樂隊 池放在舞台底下,把樂隊及歌手更好的糅合,並在上面 設一弧罩,令觀眾無法見到指揮及樂隊。

《指環》從構思至完成,經過四份一個世紀,全劇於 1876年8月在拜羅伊特節日劇院首演,出席的包括李斯 特、柴可夫斯基、布魯克納。《指環》的首演,也是現 在每年夏天舉辦的拜羅伊特音樂節的前身,世界各地的 華格納迷都以在拜羅伊特看《指環》為榮。 《齊格弗里德》第三幕 — 齊格弗里德喚醒布倫希爾德

The Ring

Have you ever felt the music of Verdi is like fine champagne that you could drink all night, as much as you liked? But, on the other hand, have you worried that Wagner is like a 30-year-old whiskey (rare, but extremely powerful) that would be very exciting on the night, but leave you with a headache in the morning? If you’re part of this exclusive club of whiskey drinkers who imbibe Wagner despite the risks, you’ll enjoy my new four-part series on the works of opera’s most controversial composer of the 19th century, if not all time!

My experience in presenting operas in Hong Kong (both live opera performances and cinema opera presentations), has led me to the conclusion that Wagner’s music is not just a strong alcoholic beverage - it is a dangerous drug that gets people hooked, and that Wagner audiences are different. They are a cult, whereas Verdi (the other giant of 19th-century opera composition) has very broad appeal and can connect with a wide range of different types of people, even if they have little previous exposure to classical singing and opera. Wagner, on the other hand, has a much narrower market. The smaller number of fans are immensely more committed and passionate. They will travel great distances and endure much inconvenience to hear performances of his music. It’s unbelievable the effect that this composer can have on people.

May 2013 | FINE MUSIC 21 COVER STORY 封面故事

I’ll unravel the mysteries of this addiction in the new series of programmes about Wagner’s works specially created for RTHK Radio 4 in celebration of the 200th anniversary of his birth. The programmes will examine all the major works of Wagner’s career, including: Meistersinger, Tannhauser, Lohengrin, Flying Dutchman, Tristan and Isolde, Parsifal and The Ring, and will include superb recordings of highlights from these operas.

I will try to take an objective and balanced view of the composer in this series, although I must admit that emotions run very high when the subject of Wagner is under discussion. Nevertheless, I confess to being a lover of Wagner, though not a full cult member. Jay Hunter Morris as Siegfried A few opera lovers, like myself, are able to taste but escape addiction. We are better able to talk about the habit sensibly without recourse to incendiary comments related to whether Wagner should be a controlled substance, which, in at least one country, he is.

One of the reasons that cult members are small in relation to other composers’ acolytes, is that many members of the audience just don’t have the physical endurance to sit through five or six hours of one opera performance. Wagner is exhausting for the performers and for the audience, which is actually what he intended. People come out of the theatre drained, destabilized, and disoriented. These operas aren’t light entertainment, they are for the hardcore. At the same time, Wagner gives his audience his vision of fantasies and relationships, hard ethical battles and the value of conquering a hard task. Deborah Voigt as Brünhilde

I’ve tried to make this series of programmes an introduction for the general public that is accessible and engaging. You might even enter as an interested opera lover and emerge as a Wagner fan, swept away by his ideas and his music!

Do I worry that making Wagner accessible and easy to understand for a general audience might bring me scorn for widening the addiction and spreading the use of a dangerous substance?

Yes, but life is short. You’ve got to grab the passion and excitement. Wagner is dangerous, but in these programmes we’ll try to be safe.

尼爾遜

華格納與威爾第這兩位同齡,且各自代表了他們的國家及整個音樂 歷史中最偉大的歌劇作曲家,也確實分別將德國歌劇及意大利歌劇 的創作推至最高峰,前無古人,後無來者。然而,我們會認為威爾 第是把意大利歌劇「發展」至最成熟及最偉大的境界,華格納卻有 點是將德國歌劇來一個「革命」。

華格納的「整體藝術」

華格納歌劇的革命,是基於他這位多面天才,而發展出一套深厚的理 論來。在寫了幾套今天已鮮為演出的早期作品後,華格納創作了三套 重要的歌劇 —《漂泊的荷蘭人》、《湯豪舍》及《羅恩格林》,這三 套作品可說將德國浪漫歌劇推至高峰,亦為華格納「浪漫歌劇期」畫 上句號。《羅恩格林》後,華格納「閉關」了,他開始寫作,而其中最 重要的一篇論文是《音樂與戲劇》,當中他抒發了一個他認為歌劇應 該是如何模樣的理論 —「整體藝術」(Gesamtkunstwerk)。簡單來說, 即歌劇不應單指是以音樂為主,而應是包含各種藝術元素,如音樂、 詩詞、視覺藝術、戲劇藝術,甚至哲學皆綜合於這種他自此稱為「樂 劇」(Music Drama)的作品中。要達到這要求,華格納於這「整體 藝術」發表後所創造的「樂劇」,以理論化地加進了一些歌劇寫作手 法:如「主導動機」(Leitmotif) 的理論,即以一些音樂動機音型去代表 着人物、意念、場景等;他強調「樂劇」的作曲家亦該是它的劇本作 家,他亦不稱這為「劇本」而稱這為「詩」;「樂劇」的題材應該是神 話,而非人世間的故事;當然還有一些較次要的理論,又如樂團在演出 「樂劇」時,應該置於一個觀眾看不見的位置等。按這理論發表的,亦 是華格納作最重要的作品,一眾華格納迷為其迷癡的包括《尼伯龍的指 環》的四套作品(《萊茵河的黃金》、《女武神》、《齊格弗里德》及 《神界的黃昏》)、《崔斯坦與伊索爾德》、《紐倫堡之名歌手》及《柏斯 法爾》。華格納為實現他的歌劇理想,甚至於拜羅伊特建了他的劇院。

漫畫:《神界的黃昏》在拜羅伊特 直至今天,拜羅伊特每年都上演華格納節,我們今天亦常聽到不少華格納 癡每年都要到拜羅伊特朝聖,去看看甚至連華格納自己也沒有機會欣賞到 作品的真模樣。

歌劇以愛感動世界

根據記載,華格納與威爾第各自咤叱風雲,卻從未碰面。表面看來,他們雖有點互相貶抑,但暗地裡常相互欣賞-威爾第對《崔斯 坦》的樂譜愛不釋手,而一般都認為他後期的歌劇如《阿伊達》及《奧賽羅》帶有華格納的影響。至於華格納,他所寫的人聲部素 來不易唱,因為這些人聲部在他筆下「是樂團的一部份」。

May 2013 | FINE MUSIC 24 Arts Happenings 藝壇快訊

早前我曾經提過,在華格納的樂劇如《女武神》及《崔 斯坦與伊索爾德》中,一些唱段的風格使我想起意大利 「美聲」一詞,華格納於《崔斯坦與伊索爾德》後,更 以《紐倫堡之名歌手》這齣充滿暖意及人情味的喜劇, 感動全世界。在這劇中,我們不再像看《尼伯龍的指 環》一樣,從傳說及神鬼世界中看情愛,而是真正感 受到有血有肉的人性。華格納以他的才藝去創作人性戲 劇,威爾第亦以一齣《法斯塔夫》同樣地驚艷,這齣偉 大喜歌劇甚至為這位意大利歌劇巨匠的創作生涯來過輝 To local music lovers, Jing Wang is absolutely new, and a surprise, too, 煌的終結。 when he was announced as the new concertmaster of the Hong Kong Philharmonic for the 2013 - 2014 season.

A frequent prize-winner, he has performed in recitals and chamber concerts at major venues in Canada, and in tours in North America and Europe. But what the press release does not say is that Wang is 28 years old and has lived in Quebec with his family for seven years until leaving the family behind for the concertmaster position at Dallas Opera in 2010 - 2011 season. There he has been active by founding the new chamber series ‘Ensemble75’ with local young musicians. He has also served as concertmaster of the Dallas Chamber Orchestra and guest concertmaster of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra. He has performed with Fort Worth Opera, and has been a frequent guest with the Dallas Symphony led by Jaap van Zweden. Wang replaces Igor Yuzefovich, who was appointed concertmaster in January 2012 (he had been guest concertmaster since September 2011); his contract will expire this summer. Wang is set to be the third Chinese concertmaster after Lin Ke-ting (1974) and Michael Ma (1992 - 1993). 「港樂」的「新團長」王敬

香港管弦樂團宣佈委任王敬為2013 - 2014樂季的團長(即樂團首席),對香港 愛樂者而言,這名字相當陌生。「港樂」所發的新聞稿提及:生於桂林,王 敬於三歲習小提琴,三年後於馬賽公開演出,九歲與魁北克交響樂團作協奏 曲首演,是多項比賽的得獎者⋯⋯。王敬是一位音樂神童,獲獎無數,亦曾 於加拿大及歐洲多個著名演出場地舉行獨奏會及室樂音樂會,也跟加拿大有 緊密關係。

新聞稿沒有透露的是,王敬今年二十八歲,與家人在加拿大魁北克居住了七 年,2010 - 2011樂季出任達拉斯歌劇院樂團首席後,家人仍留在魁北克。他 在達拉斯極為活躍,僅幾年時間便與德州新一代樂手創辦了室樂系列「75合 奏組合」,又出任達拉斯室樂團首席、堪薩斯城交響樂團客席首席,亦曾與 沃思堡歌劇院合作,更經常獲邀與梵志登掌舵的達拉斯交響樂團演出。

19 May : Giordano’s Andrea Chénier 26 May : Verdi’s Ernani

When Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) decided to adapt Victor Hugo’s Hernani into an opera, the play had already achieved a widespread fame and it was taken as the model for Romanticism in French literature. The plot presents a serious treatment of the concepts of chivalry, honour, and patriotic heroism, which Verdi always found inspiring with particular reference to Italy’s struggle for independence from foreign rule and her aspiration to be a unified nation.

Umberto Giordano André Chénier To heighten the effect of the romantic drama, Verdi sought to balance the principal solo voices and inserted powerful choral passages. The opera became extremely popular immediately after its highly successful première at Venice’s La Fenice Theatre in March 1844, and was regarded as a symbol of Italian patriotism and an icon of the spirit of Risorgimento, the nation’s reawakening.

A superb sound recording made at a live performance at La Scala Theatre of Milan will be played, with tenor Plácido Domingo in the title role, soprano Mirella Freni as his beloved Elvira, baritone José Soler Renata Tebaldi Renato Bruson as King Carlo of , and bass Nicolai Ghiaurov as Grand Duke de Silva. Riccardo Muti conducts the chorus and One of the most exciting operas of the verismo school, Andrea orchestra of La Scala, Milan. Chénier by Umberto Giordano (1867-1948), is a wonderful vehicle for great tenors, full of passionate music for singers to exhibit their skill, artistry, and beauty of voice.

The libretto is one of the best of Luigi Illica, who was also a favourite collaborator of Puccini and Mascagni. The story is based on the life of the poet Chénier who was guillotined in Paris at the height of the reign of terror during the French Revolution. Sheila Rock © For this programme we have chosen a magnificent recording made Plácido Domingo Mirella Freni by Radio Italiana (RAI) with the great Spanish tenor José Soler in the title role. Soler is admired by many as the possessor of one of the best high heroic tenor voices and he is partnered here by the exquisite angel-voiced soprano, Renata Tebaldi. Arturo Basile is the conductor of the Orchestra Sinfonica di Torina della RAI. Renato Bruson Renato Bruson © © Renato Bruson Nicolai Ghiaurov
