內容大鋼
鋼琴家顧爾德(Glenn Gould)是個傳奇中的傳奇,不同於一般傳統古典演奏者的,顧爾德至今依舊令人津津樂道的原因可以從幾各層面上來歸咎,一是顧爾德不同於一般人的奇異行事風格,例如他在大熱天依舊穿著大衣戴手套;他坐在鋼琴前演奏時,椅子總是調得特別的低,甚至在彈奏時不時發出隨著旋律哼唱的呢喃;他離群索居、但一時興來會在半夜跟友人通電話講上好幾個小時。其二是他的詮釋,尤其是巴哈作品,幾乎崩解了前人的觀點,發展出自成一格獨有的風格,當然這樣的詮釋是令人驚艷也建構在一套架構中。其三是他對現場演出衰微、錄音室必興盛的理論,當然這樣的論點至今仍待商榷,但也因而造就了他當紅時期退出舞台演出,只在錄音室留下作品。林林總總的事跡造就了音樂史上不可思議的「顧爾德現象」,他成了電影導演探討的主角、精神家哲學家出書探究的主題,而直接的就是他的錄音專輯也成了人類珍貴的瑰寶。
《CD巴赫的哥德堡變奏曲(6碟裝)》是他演奏的巴哈作品,更是要收藏的專輯。顧爾德的巴哈是二十世紀演奏風格具創意與突破性的鋼琴家,他詮釋的巴哈屏除了傳統沉悶老舊的氣息,讓音樂找到直接進入人們腦波的韻律感與節奏感。尤其是著名的郭德堡變奏曲,他分別錄製了兩個版本 1955年&1981年,此套裝收錄了1955年版本,另外還有創意曲、觸技曲以及賦格的藝術等。
