La Belle Hélène (complete, DVD & CD versions) 《美丽的海伦》
TDK DVD DV-OPLBH; CD Virgin 5 45477-2 (2). Lott, Beuron, Sénéchal, Le Roux, Naouri, Todorovitch, Ch. & Musiciens du Louvre, Grenoble, Minkowski (Stage Director: Laurent Pelly)
The new production of La Belle Hélène staged by Laurent Pelly, with costumes by Chantal Thomas, retains all the mythological characters, but they appear to Hélène as in her dream of being the most beautiful woman in the world and falling in love with the virile young Paris. Her double bed, to which she retires at the beginning, becomes the focus of the action until Act III, which takes place on the beach at Naples, from where she finally sails away with Paris. The whole production fizzes and has touches of romantic naughtiness which only the French can bring off with real style. There is an additional ‘Behind the Scenes’ sequence, narrating the background to this brilliantly successful production.
Favouring brisk speeds and light textures, using the period instruments of Les Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski gives a winning sparkle to this delectable send-up of the classical story. He also has the benefit of offering a more complete, more authentic text than any predecessor. It was recorded after the highly successful stage production at the Châtelet Théâtre in Paris in September 2000, when Felicity Lott was hailed as an outstanding star in the role of Hélène. That is true, even if vocally there are moments when her voice is not at its sweetest, not as rounded as it might be; but her feeling for the idiom and her characterization are unerring. Outstanding in the cast is the seductively honeyed tenor of Yann Beuron as Paris. His ‘Judgement of Paris’ solo in Act I has rarely been matched, with exquisite pianissimo singing in the final stanza, enhanced by Minkowski’s persuasive rubato. An excellent supporting cast, including such stalwarts of the repertory as Michel Sénéchal and François Le Roux. Although the CDs are in every way recommendable, the live performance on DVD is sheer delight, adding an extra dimension to Offenbach’s scintillating score.
洛朗·佩利执导的新版《美丽的海伦》由尚塔尔·托马斯负责服装设计，保留了所有神话角色，但这些人物皆以海伦梦境中的形象出现——她幻想自己成为世间最美的女子，与阳刚的年轻帕里斯坠入爱河。开场时她退场的那张双人床成为前三幕的焦点，直至第三幕场景转至那不勒斯海滩，她最终与帕里斯扬帆远去。整部制作充满活力，带有唯有法国人才能驾驭的浪漫俏皮感。附赠"幕后花絮"片段，讲述这部成功制作的背景故事。
马克·明科夫斯基率领卢浮宫音乐家古乐团，以轻快的速度与透明的音质，为这部古典故事戏谑版赋予迷人光彩。其采用的文本也比以往任何版本更完整、更权威。录音源自2000年9月巴黎夏特莱剧院大获成功的舞台制作，当时费莉西蒂·洛特因饰演海伦被誉为耀眼明星。尽管某些唱段嗓音未达最甜美圆润的状态，但她对风格的把握与角色塑造无可挑剔。演员阵容中，扬·伯龙以蜜糖般诱人的男高音诠释帕里斯最为出彩，第一幕的"帕里斯的裁决"独唱段落罕逢敌手，最终诗节的极弱音处理辅以明科夫斯基精妙的弹性速度更显绝妙。配角阵容同样卓越，包括米歇尔·塞内夏尔、弗朗索瓦·勒鲁等经验丰富的歌唱家。尽管CD版已属上乘之选，DVD现场演出更添魅力，为奥芬巴赫闪耀的总谱赋予立体维度。
Les Contes d’Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann; complete, CD version) 《霍夫曼的故事》
Decca (ADD) 417 363-2 (2). Sutherland, Domingo, Tourangeau, Bacquier, R. Suisse Romande & Lausanne Pro Art Ch., SRO, Bonynge
Offenbach’s final work, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, was a posthumous triumph for the composer. In this marvellous opéra comique, Offenbach fully captured the sense of the grotesque in the E. T. A. Hoffmann stories as well as a sense of irony and humour. Of course Offenbach was nothing if not a man of the theatre, so the work is highly theatrical and entertaining, brimming with good tunes, rollicking choruses and many instantly memorable numbers. Offenbach longed to write one serious masterpiece and in this story of disillusioned love at its centre he achieved it, sadly dying before the work was performed. It survived in somewhat corrupt forms, but Bonynge’s solution to the textual problems is undoubtedly the most successful. This recording, from 1971, is one of the supreme achievements of the many Sutherland/Bonynge/Decca recordings. Joan Sutherland gives a virtuoso performance in four heroine roles, not only as Olympia, Giulietta and Antonia, but also as Stella in the Epilogue, which is given even greater weight by the restoration of the Quartet, a magnificent, thrilling climax. Bonynge opts for spoken dialogue, and puts the Antonia scene last, as being the more substantial. His direction is unfailingly sympathetic, while Sutherland is impressive in each role, notably as the doll Olympia and in the pathos of the Antonia scene. As Giulietta she hardly sounds like a femme fatale, but still produces beautiful singing. Domingo gives one of his finest performances on record (his famous Kleinzach aria in the Prologue goes with a real swing) and so too does Gabriel Bacquier. Huguette Tourangeau is outstanding as La Muse and Nicklausse. It is a memorable set in every way, with a superb supporting cast, with such people as Hugues Cuénod adding much character and an authentic flavour to the performance as a whole. The Decca recording is outstanding, rich, full and vividly atmospheric.
奥芬巴赫的绝笔之作《霍夫曼的故事》成为作曲家身后的辉煌胜利。在这部杰出的谐歌剧中，他完美捕捉了E.T.A.霍夫曼小说中的怪诞感，同时融入反讽与幽默。这位深谙剧场之道的作曲家以高度戏剧化的手法，呈现了大量优美旋律、欢快合唱与令人过耳难忘的唱段。奥芬巴赫渴望创作一部严肃杰作，最终借由这个关于幻灭爱情的故事得偿所愿，却遗憾未能亲见作品上演。该作现存版本多有讹误，而波宁吉对文本问题的处理无疑最成功。这套1971年录音是萨瑟兰/波宁吉/Decca黄金组合的巅峰成就之一。琼·萨瑟兰一人分饰四位女主角——机械玩偶奥林匹亚、交际花朱丽叶塔、病弱少女安东尼娅，以及尾声的斯特拉，修复的四重唱段落更将终幕推向壮丽高潮。波宁吉采用对白形式，并将安东尼娅场景置于最后以强化戏剧分量。他的指挥始终饱含共鸣，萨瑟兰则在不同角色间游刃有余，无论是机械玩偶的精准花腔还是安东尼娅的凄婉咏叹皆令人叹服。多明戈献出其录音生涯最佳表演之一（序幕中著名的"小查克"咏叹调充满活力），加布里埃尔·巴基耶同样出色。于盖特·图朗若作为缪斯女神与尼克劳斯的双重演绎堪称典范，雨果·屈埃诺等配角亦为全剧注入鲜明个性与地道韵味。Decca录音效果辉煌饱满，氛围感栩栩如生。
‘The World of Offenbach’: Overtures: La Belle Hélène; La Fille du tambour-major; Orpheus in the Underworld. Excerpts: Le Papillon; Contes d’Hoffmann; La Grande Duchesse; La Périchole; Robinson Crusoé 序曲：《美丽的海伦》《鼓手长的女儿》《地狱中的奥菲欧》。选段：《蝴蝶》《霍夫曼的故事》《热罗尔坦公爵夫人》《佩里绍莱》《鲁滨逊漂流记》
Decca Australian Eloquences 480 5318. Crespin, Sutherland, Domingo, Sumi Jo, Tourangeau; Various Orchestras, cond. Ansermet, Bonynge, Lombard
Opening and closing delightfully with the Barcarolle, and vividly recorded, this is an Unmissable and generous ‘lucky dip’ to match and even surpass ‘The World of Borodin’, creating an unforgettably entertaining 74 minutes. The overtures and operatta excerpts are equally diverting, marvellously sung, and are topped off with Sumi’s Jo’s sparkling Valse tyrolienne.
以《船歌》作为开场与终曲的这张精选集，凭借生动的录音成为不可错过的娱乐盛宴，74分钟的时长甚至超越了"鲍罗丁的世界"系列。序曲与轻歌剧选段同样精彩纷呈，演唱水准精湛，尤其须见优子演绎的《蒂罗尔圆舞曲》更添璀璨光彩。
