布拉姆斯: 德意志安魂曲 (重現 1868 年不來梅首演)
長野肯特 指揮
聲音管理合唱團
漢堡愛樂國家管弦樂團
這個會令很多人驚訝的布拉姆斯著名的聲樂合唱大師級作品的新版本是2022年8月在長野肯特指揮下與漢堡愛樂國家管弦樂團於漢堡易北愛樂廳(Elbphilharmonie)的音樂會中錄製. 這(德意志安魂曲)不是平常聽到七個樂章版本, 而是第一次在1868年4月10日的耶穌受難紀念日(Good Friday)於不來梅大教堂(Bremen Cathedral)在布拉姆斯指揮下演奏的首演版本, 沒有在當年年尾時才完成的第五樂章的女高音和合唱團部份. 在另一方面, 中間還穿插許多巴哈, 塔替尼, 舒曼與韓德爾的間奏曲, 樂器和聲樂, 世俗與神聖的作品, 包含在當年被認為是耶穌受難紀念日音樂會重要的曲目. 這個節目在現代或許顯得不尋常, 但這些添加的音樂為布拉姆斯的作品帶來新的詮釋角度, 讓在此版本中表現出如評論家安伯托.艾可(Umberto Eco)所謂的(開放的作品).
將此作品以在不來梅首演形式聽到的音樂呈現的方式, 不只是一次歷史的重現: 更是對此獨特的音樂有更豐富的認識.
Brahms's Requiem as premiered in Bremen in 1868
Recorded in August 2022 at concerts given in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie by the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg under Kent Nagano, this version of Johannes Brahms's celebrated choral masterpiece will come as a surprise to many. The German Requiem is heard not in its usual seven movement version, but rather as it was first performed in Bremen Cathedral on 10th April 1868 (Good Friday) under Brahms's direction, without the fifth movement for soprano and choir that was completed later that year. On the other hand, there are numerous interludes, instrumental and vocal, secular and sacred, by Bach, Tartini, Schumann and Handel – including pieces that were then regarded as essential parts of a Good Friday concert. Such a programme might seem unusual today, but these musical additions shed new light on Brahms's work, which in this version manifests itself as what Umberto Eco might have described as an 'open work'.
Presenting the work in the form heard at the Bremen premiere is more than just a reconstruction: it enriches our understanding of this unique music.
