抓住“贝多芬年”的尾巴——《贝多芬传奇经典录音精选》,超高性价比的贝多芬名作合集
“欢乐女神圣洁美丽 / 灿烂光芒照大地 / 我们心中充满热情 / 来到你的圣殿里!”
2020年10月某天的正午时分,站在波恩老市政厅前的广场,耳畔响起的不是德国城市常见的教堂钟声,而是贝多芬《欢乐颂》的旋律。
今年是这位诞生在德国波恩的伟大音乐家250周年诞辰。虽然因为疫情,上半年的纪念活动几乎全数取消,但正如贝多芬本人生前不屈不挠的坚强意志一般,只要仍有一息尚存,人类文明就不会熄灭。下半年,乐声又逐渐重响,“贝多芬年”纪念活动也陆续在全球范围内以不同形式举办,可谓百花盛开,如火如荼。
在疫情的紧张氛围下,四处响起的贝多芬音乐仿佛一颗强力定心丸。激情澎湃、响遏行云的宏大乐章,时刻撼动着人们几近麻木的灵魂。一个个铿锵有力的音符,正奋力击碎着心口的冰碴,不断重复着那句著名的:“扼住命运的咽喉!” 这时候,我们才能深刻地明白到,贝多芬音乐历经百年依然长盛不衰,始终传唱的原因——
不分人群和领域的强烈共鸣、超脱时代限制的音乐涵养、百听不厌且温故知新的艺术价值……贝多芬的音乐,无疑是真正意义上的精神食粮,是人类文明发展历程中不可或缺的重要宝藏。
于是,今年听贝多芬,又具有了更深层的意义。在聆赏中缅怀,在缅怀中自励。
贝多芬250周年诞辰,各古典唱片大厂推出的纪念录音也是比历来要多的,基本上都从自家母带库中“搜刮”出了尽可能完整齐全的贝多芬作品录音,集成一套。对贝多芬迷来说,这些套装,肯定是非常超值的:
大量的曲目一次过收全,可以听很久,而且大厂诸如华纳、DECCA、索尼这一类,旗下或合作的古典名家数不胜数,录音的演绎水准自然也是顶尖的。再者,唱片作为历来古典音乐最主要的承载体,听起来肯定比满是机械味的数码音乐要原汁原味得多。不管是聆听还是收藏,都具有非同凡响的价值。
比如索尼的这一套《贝多芬传奇经典录音》(25CD),个人认为是当中性价比拔尖的一套。近60场贝多芬作品的完整录音,囊括他笔下的全套交响曲、钢琴奏鸣曲、协奏曲、弦乐三重奏、四重奏……
甚至连他并不那样广为人知的,生平唯一一部歌剧作品《列奥诺拉》的录音都收录在内,称得上是贝多芬生前音乐才华的全方位展现。这样“装备齐全”的套装,价格比起同期的其他纪念录音,绝对是亲和许多。

在波恩老市政厅广场响起《欢乐颂》后不久,德国疫情开始反弹。起起落落,无休无止,如同困境永无断绝之日的人生。但人们并未因此失去对贝多芬的热情,现实恰恰相反。“我认为,疫情带来的疏离感反而强化了纪念贝多芬诞辰这一主题。”贝多芬故居博物馆负责人马尔特·伯克尔如此说道。
是的,贝多芬的影响早已超越了时间、空间和艺术形式,他的音乐正源源不断地输出能量,持续团结着、鼓舞着来自世界各地、正以不同程度遭受疫情迫害的人们。
“你的力量能使人们 / 消除一切分歧 / 在你光辉照耀下面 / 四海之内皆成兄弟。”
