专辑介绍:
如果古希腊诗人荷马曾经创作音乐,它必然像这样:黑暗、神秘而富于沉思性,同时散发出红酒的醇香与海水的苦涩,悲凉与诗意并存,用毫无保留的热情去歌唱爱与失落。简而言之,这正如卡兰卓(Eleni Karaindrou)——我们这个时代最具说服力与表现力的希腊作曲家的音乐。
除了传说中发明笛子的半人半羊的希神“潘”和六十年代现代主义作曲家Iannis Xenakis外,希腊真正提供给世界的杰出音乐家寥寥无几——尽管有Vangelis这样的电子先锋及一大批走红于国际舞台的New Age音乐家,在希腊人的眼里,却是卡兰卓将他们的祖国重新放回到世界音乐的版图中。在50多岁的时候,卡兰卓就已经被她的同胞们称为“第十缪斯”("Tenth Muse")。她的音乐植根于希腊的传统但却不拘泥于形式,借鉴了民谣、爵士和古典音乐,用希腊民间乐器和各种现代管弦乐器融合出一种独特的古老而近乎神秘的声音,但其精神却是现代主义的。
"I like marrying sounds I know--Greek traditional folk to jazz or classical," she says. "I feel like a painter, taking dabs of color from a wide variety of sources and making something out of it."
童年的美好记忆是她音乐的灵感来源:卡兰卓出生在希腊一个偏僻的小山村Teichio,“风的呼唤声、雨在石板屋顶的敲击声,流淌的溪水、夜莺的歌唱,还有那雪的静谧;而每逢节日,从小山村广场上传出的笛声在山谷中幽幽的回响”她自己曾经这样回忆道。
"the music of the wind, rain on the slate roof, running water. The nightingale's singing. And then the silence of the snow. Sometimes the mountains would echo to the sound of flutes and clarinets played at festivals in the small Village Square. "
曾经一度被迫离开当时环境压抑的祖国,1967年,与丈夫分居的卡兰卓带着孩子前往巴黎,在那里融入了一群志同道合的自由主义者并开始了人种音乐学的学习。正赶上当时法国旺盛的爵士乐发展时期,各种音乐卡兰卓都产生了不同影响。而她也认为这段时间是她音乐生涯的重要时期,让她看清了自己音乐上的真正归属所在,童年的音乐感觉和对世界范围内民间音乐的热爱被强烈的唤起。
"I was slowly becoming conscious, with increased knowledge of the musical world of my childhood. "
1974年,民主回归希腊后,卡兰卓立刻回到了雅典,在ORA文化中心创办了传统乐器演奏家实验室(Laboratory for Traditional Instrumentalists)。在发现了ECM的同时卡兰卓仿佛发现了一个属于自己的世界——自由的创作氛围,现代主义的方式,“这时我的创作完全依赖我的感觉,不带任何既定的形式上、体裁上的限制和偏见。”这段时间她也开始了大量的电影和戏剧音乐创作。
"I improvised and composed relying entirely on my feeling without any idiomatic or stylistic prejudices. "
卡兰卓认为1979年她为《克里斯多菲斯的徘徊》(Christofis's Wandering)创作的原声音乐是她电影音乐生涯的转折点。这让她能对一个主题和镜头片断采用一种直觉的回应方式来创作,尽管开始并不确定是否真的契合电影,但随着创作的结束,她认识到自己对为媒体创作具有一种非常个人化的表达方式。对卡兰卓来说,电影音乐并不是电影的陪衬和副产品,事实上,她是借用了电影的画面来自由的释放自己最深的情绪和感知。
"It was a new beginning for me. Wandering opened up world I've been travelling ever since. The directors I've worked with have allowed me great freedom, and their images have given me a fantastic pretext to express my deepest sentiments and feelings."
卡兰卓这种对电影戏剧音乐的不同见解让她的作品具有更深刻的力度和独立于电影之外的精神与内涵,希腊的电影评论家和音乐撰稿人一直认为她的电影音乐创作超越了传统的概念和模式——“在几百英尺的胶片中,卡兰卓的音乐是那些没有洒在屏幕上的鲜血,它不断地出现,揭示了诗意之外存在的更深刻的精神实质”,“它刺痛你同时又释放你”,它伴随着电影的影像产生出新的影像和思想,当你单独听这音乐,它坚持着自己独立的主张——这甚至不能称作传统意义上的电影音乐,更恰当的说是一种内在的具有影像性的音乐,它有自己的情感高潮,暗示性的情节,带着听众/观众去经历、去描绘,而有些时候,仿佛只是让你跟着轻轻的和。
"in all these hundreds oF feet of film, Eleni's music represents the blood not shed on the screen. Her constant presence..reveals something deeply spiritual beneath the lyricism.","to wound and liberate"
卡兰卓的音乐中另一个关键字是“过去”。像那些敏感的希腊艺术家一样,“过去”在卡兰卓的音乐中永远不可抹去——“过去从未消亡,它甚至不曾过去。”卡兰卓最喜爱的一个诗人George Seferis曾说:“希腊是一个持续的过程。”("Greece is a continuous process"),而具有历史和考古的双学位的卡兰卓和希腊的过去的联系如此紧密更是自然的事情——她常用历史的、过去的声音来促使听众反观当代希腊的精神世界,用她音乐中的风景、海景以及现代希腊人世界的心灵景观("the landscape, seascape and soulscape of the modern Hellenic world.")来唤起她的同胞。这种沉重的历史感、责任感几乎是卡兰卓不可回避的宿命,她再次引用Seferis的诗句:“不管我走到哪里,希腊不断的刺痛我。”("Wherever I travel, Greece keeps wounding me.")
