《帕瓦罗蒂歌剧录音全集》“世界男高音之首”34套歌剧完整收录
2007年9月6日,鲁契亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂在意大利小镇摩德纳永远地闭上了双眼,这个时代失去了她最优秀的男高音歌唱家。
时至今日,伟人已离去整整13个年头,可他的歌声却历久弥新, 他的成就始终无人超越。地球上不会再出现第二个帕瓦罗蒂,“世界男高音之首”的席位将永远空缺。
今天是2020年10月12日,帕瓦罗蒂的85周岁诞辰纪念日。这一天,我们重温他的在世名作——《今夜无人入睡》,想到再也无法看到这般震撼人心的歌唱现场,不禁怅然若失,无法入睡。
帕瓦罗蒂从小天赋异禀,据说,他降生时的啼哭音调极高,医生直呼前所未有,母亲更大胆预言:这个孩子必将大有作为。
虽然没有音乐世家的背景,父母皆是普通工人,但好在家人都极其酷爱音乐,尤其是兼任业余歌者的父亲,他在帕瓦罗蒂的音乐启蒙之路上担任了非常重要的角色。
5岁时,帕瓦罗蒂得到了来自父亲的、人生中的第一把吉他,并尝试用来伴奏演唱一些父亲平时爱播放的民谣。
小帕瓦罗蒂非常钟爱歌唱,一不小心就唱到废寝忘食,以至于时常招来邻居的“抗议”。即使没有专业的教师引导,小帕瓦罗蒂也依然自由而稳健地成长于心爱的音乐海洋中,但好景不长,12岁的帕瓦罗蒂被一场大病击倒,双腿失去知觉,高烧,昏迷……虽然后来奇迹般地痊愈,但也铸就了他对未来总是充满不安的性格。
1952年,17岁的帕瓦罗蒂由父亲介绍到“罗西尼”合唱团并随团巡演。看起来似乎“走上了正轨”,实际上却是这位传奇歌唱家人声低谷期的起点。
毫无人脉又渴望被赏识的他,为了引起经纪人的注意,甚至在免费的音乐会上无偿演唱,然而反响却很糟糕,更被观众轰下舞台。
迫于生计,之后的帕瓦罗蒂一边学习唱歌,一边打工。他做过小学代课,也卖过保险,这样的日子持续了6年,一度以为自己或将重走父亲人生轨迹的帕瓦罗蒂终于迎来了转机。
1961年,26岁的帕瓦罗蒂凭歌剧《波西米亚人》主角鲁道夫的咏叹调获阿基莱·佩里国际声乐比赛一等奖;后又意外替补前辈大师,在伦敦皇家歌剧院出演鲁道夫一炮而红。自此,他的职业歌唱生涯正式开启,并屡创佳绩。
1967年,帕瓦罗蒂更被卡拉扬选中,在纪念音乐家托斯卡尼尼诞辰一百周年的音乐会上担任威尔第《安魂曲》中的男高音独唱。卡拉扬的提携让世人看到了这块金子,而“金子”也不负所望,在更大的舞台上展现了自身更非凡的价值——
1972年,帕瓦罗蒂在纽约大都会歌剧院与萨瑟兰合作演出《军中女郎》,在一段被称为男高音禁区的唱段《多么快乐的一天》时,帕瓦罗蒂连续唱出9个带有胸腔共鸣的高音C,震动国际乐坛,从此“高音C之王”成了帕瓦罗蒂的代名词。
1988年12月,帕瓦罗蒂执导他的第一部个人歌剧《宠姬》。1990年,在世界杯足球赛举办期间,帕瓦罗蒂与多明戈、卡雷拉斯两位男高音歌唱家携手,在意大利罗马首次成功举办音乐会,演出通过电视实况转播传送至54个国家,吸引了10亿电视观众。自此,三人以固定组合展开世界巡演,缔造了一个又一个乐坛神话。
2005年初,年过69岁的帕瓦罗蒂因长期被病魔困扰,决定逐渐隐退,并举办世界巡回告别演唱会;12月,帕瓦罗蒂告别舞台全球巡演到达中国,6日在中国上海大舞台、10日在北京首都体育馆举行告别演唱会,为中国观众演唱了他最具代表性的30多首作品,以此结束个人44年的辉煌歌唱生涯。
2007年,72岁的帕瓦罗蒂因胰腺癌去世。留下了大量珍贵杰出的演唱作品,以及无尽的遗憾。
据说,因为出身寒微与幼年时接近濒死的那场大病,帕瓦罗蒂从出道以来未曾停止过跟焦虑紧张做斗争,初次登台时,他甚至差点因为恐惧而决定永远告别舞台生涯。
对他来说,白手帕是他驱散怯场的道具:一来可以擦汗,二来可以遮蔽缺陷,引开观众的视线,好让他们不去注意他那肥硕的肚腩。久而久之,手执白帕成了这位满脸虬髯之壮汉歌王的招牌标志。
即便如此,焦虑依然难掩其光芒。他的演唱从来都是这些作品的“最经典演绎”,难有人企及;他的头衔从来都要加上“最伟大”这样的字眼,无人异议。
2017年,帕瓦罗蒂逝世10周年之际,国际知名唱片品牌DECCA推出《帕瓦罗蒂歌剧录音全集》,以精心打造音乐载体的形式留存这位国际巨星在世时的光辉岁月,也让今天在此缅怀伟人的我们得以将这些珍贵的绝唱尽数收藏。
套装囊括了这位歌唱家在Decca、DG、Warner出版的95张CD和6张以蓝光音频格式再版的6部经典歌剧(蝴蝶夫人、波西米亚人、图兰朵、拉美莫尔的露琪亚、弄臣、爱的甘醇)。
