对于古典音乐企鹅指南的三（四）星带花评鉴，众乐友毁誉不一，比较诟病的有几点：一、过于推崇英国本土的艺术家；二、过多推荐历史录音，特别是单声道时代录音；第三，小厂牌占比较高，不易获得。而这个版本的推荐，这几个问题都不突出，选曲无论从时间还是地域跨度都更为平衡，推荐的资源也相对容易获得。

关于评论，吝于我个人水平实在太有限，所以先贴出原文，再用谷歌或DeepSeek 翻译成中文，保持原汁原味。

由于有大量的视频和SACD，而我的度盘空间严重不足，所以只提供5盘链接。欢迎热心乐友搬运到度盘后积极分享。

先分享几本音乐的电子书吧。手里有旧版的企鹅古典音乐指南纸质书，电子版的一直没找到。如果哪位有的话，欢迎分享。谢谢！

Giselle (ballet: complete, DVD version)
Opus Arte DVD OA0993D. Cojocaru, Kobborg, Soloists & Corps of the Royal Ballet, ROHCG O, Gruzin (Producer: Peter Wright)

Giselle (ballet: complete, CD version)
Decca 4783625-2 (2). ROHCG O, Bonynge


Adam’s Giselle is the first of the great classical ballets. The story has a simple romantic opening Act, with plenty of chances for the principal dancers to shine, but the drama rises to a peak in the second, where the female corps de ballet take the form of Willis, deserted maidens who have each died of a broken heart. Urged on by their imperious queen, Myrtha, they are able to return from the grave to entice any unfaithful male lover into a dance leading to death from sheer exhaustion. However, the heroine Giselle forgives her lover and successfully pleads for his life from the queen and her companions, before returning to the underworld. The choreography is richly traditional but includes an extraordinary hopping step for the corps de ballet in Act II, which is uniquely memorable.

The ballet has been extraordinarily successful on DVD with fine versions from Kirov (Warner) and Paris (TDK). But the most recent recording comes from a BBC transmission in January 2006. It is marvellously danced, with the Romanian ballerina, Alina Cojocaru, in the title role and the Danish virtuoso, Johan Kobborg, as Albrecht. They are a touching pair and the remaining roles are no less brilliant and as strongly characterized. The Royal corps de ballet is superb. A compelling performance, with finely supportive playing from the Covent Garden orchestra under Boris Gruzin and expert video direction throughout.

Bonynge’s CD performance offers the complete original score, exactly as Adam wrote it, with all repeats. Also included are the Peasant pas de deux in Act I with music by Frédéric Burgmüller, and two other insertions, possibly by Minkus. The playing is polished and warmly sympathetic. Bonynge’s tempi are very much of the ballet theatre, but the overall tension is well maintained and detail is affectionately vivid. Recorded in London’s Henry Wood Hall, with its glowing acoustics, the sound is richly coloured and sumptuous, the bass resonance almost too expansive, and this is one of the most successful and satisfying of Bonynge’s many ballet recordings made for Decca over the years.

亚当的《吉赛尔》是古典芭蕾的开篇之作。故事开场简洁浪漫，主要演员们大放异彩的机会充足，但戏剧性在第二幕达到顶峰。女芭蕾舞团化身为威利斯，她们是被遗弃的少女，各自因心碎而死。在专横的王后米尔莎的怂恿下，她们得以从坟墓中复活，引诱任何不忠的男情人加入舞蹈，最终精疲力竭而死。然而，女主角吉赛尔原谅了她的情人，并成功地向王后及其同伴们恳求饶命，之后便回到了冥界。这部芭蕾舞剧的编舞富有浓郁的传统韵味，但第二幕中芭蕾舞团的精彩跳跃舞步令人难忘。

这部芭蕾舞剧的DVD发行取得了巨大成功，基洛夫（华纳）和巴黎（TDK）发行了精美的版本。但最近的录音来自BBC 2006年1月的转播。这部作品的舞蹈精彩绝伦，罗马尼亚芭蕾舞女演员阿丽娜·科若卡鲁（Alina Cojocaru）担任主角，丹麦大师约翰·科博格（Johan Kobborg）饰演阿尔布雷希特。他们是一对令人动容的搭档，其余角色也同样精彩绝伦，个性鲜明。皇家芭蕾舞团的演出也同样精彩绝伦。这场演出引人入胜，鲍里斯·格鲁津（Boris Gruzin）指挥的科文特花园管弦乐团也提供了精彩的伴奏，并由专业的视频指导贯穿始终。

波宁格的CD收录了亚当创作的完整原谱，所有重复乐段均与原作完全一致。此外，还收录了第一幕由弗雷德里克·伯格米勒（Frédéric Burgmüller）作曲的《农民双人舞》，以及另外两段可能由明库斯（Minkus）创作的插入曲目。波宁格的演奏精湛，充满温暖的共鸣。他的节奏非常符合芭蕾舞剧的风格，但整体张力保持得当，细节生动逼真。该唱片在伦敦亨利伍德音乐厅录制，其音响效果极佳，声音色彩丰富、华丽，低音共振几乎过于广阔，这是多年来 Bonynge 为 Decca 录制的众多芭蕾舞唱片中最成功、最令人满意的唱片之一。

John Adams is undoubtedly now the most important contemporary composer in the United States and is already making a worldwide reputation for music which is listener-friendly, highly imaginative and original. He tells us that the first major piece of classical music he experienced in his youth, heard within the glorious acoustic of Boston’s Symphony Hall, was Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis conducted by Koussevitzky, which made an overwhelming impression on him.

Having then encountered Webern (which he described as ‘the strangest musical experience in my whole life’), Adams believes that ‘in the distant future musicians will look back on a period in the twentieth century – the era of Schoenberg, Stockhausen and Boulez – when composers aggressively destroyed the pulse and tonal syntax of music’, and this is a view with which we have considerable sympathy.

After a year’s sabbatical in 1974 he was exposed to the music of Steve Reich, notably Drumming. But he later moved on from the ‘Minimalism’ for which Reich is famous, finding it provided only a limited musical experience. ‘Its emotional bandwidth was very small,’ he said, ‘so I tried to stretch it.’ He did just that, and the result has been most illuminating.

约翰·亚当斯无疑是当今美国最重要的当代作曲家，他的作品以其动听悦耳、极富想象力和原创性而享誉全球。他告诉我们，他年轻时接触的第一部重要的古典音乐作品，是在波士顿交响乐大厅辉煌的音响效果下聆听的，是沃恩·威廉姆斯的《托马斯·塔利斯主题幻想曲》，由库塞维茨基指挥，这首作品给他留下了深刻的印象。

后来，他接触了韦伯恩（他称之为“我一生中最奇特的音乐体验”），亚当斯相信，“在遥远的未来，音乐家们会回顾二十世纪的某个时期——勋伯格、斯托克豪森和布列兹的时代——当时作曲家们对音乐的脉搏和调性句法进行了猛烈的破坏”，而我们对此深表赞同。

1974年，经过一年的休假后，他接触到了史蒂夫·莱奇的音乐，尤其是他的《鼓乐》。但后来，他放弃了赖希赖以成名的“极简主义”，发现它只能提供有限的音乐体验。“它的情感带宽非常狭窄，”他说，“所以我尝试拓展它。”他确实这么做了，结果非常令人振奋。

(i) The Chairman Dances; (ii) Grand Pianola Music; (iii) Shaker Loops; (i) Short Ride in a Fast Machine
EMI 2 06627-2. (i) CBSO Rattle; (ii) Random Wilson, NY Soloists; (iii) NY Soloists, Warren-Green

Under Rattle the foxtrot The Chairman Dances has unabated energy. It is an extraordinary adjunct to Adams’s opera Nixon in China, but not part of it, for Madame Chou outrageously dances a foxtrot in front of the assembled dignitaries at a banquet. Rhythmically unpredictable in its minimalist patterns, its kaleidoscopic scoring is ear-catching. The whizzing Short Ride in a Fast Machine and the exhilarating concertante (and tuneful) Grand Pianola Music both have immediate hit potential; the latter has a thrilling climax. Shaker Loops was the work that first alerted us to the originality and intensity of Adams’s earlier music and Christopher Warren-Green here directs its recording début.

在拉特尔的演奏下，狐步舞《主席之舞》活力四射，始终充满活力。它与亚当斯的歌剧《尼克松在中国》相得益彰，却又并非完全独立，因为周夫人在宴会上面对云集的贵宾，跳起了惊艳的狐步舞。其极简主义的模式中，节奏变幻莫测，千变万化的配乐令人耳目一新。呼啸而过的《快速机器的短途之旅》和令人振奋的协奏曲（旋律优美）《大钢琴音乐》都拥有一炮走红的潜力；后者高潮迭起，扣人心弦。《震环》首次让我们感受到亚当斯早期音乐的原创性和强度，此次由克里斯托弗·沃伦-格林执导了该作品的首张录音专辑。

Harmonielehre; Short Ride in a Fast Machine
SFS 0053. San Francisco SO, Michael Tilson Thomas

This superb disc is as fine a place as any to start exploring the music of America’s greatest contemporary composer, and the performances, splendidly recorded live at the Davies Symphony Hall, are unsurpassed. Adams was influenced by Schoenberg but rejected his atonal compositional style. His Harmonielehre throbbingly moves in arch form from white-hot, energy-absorbing minimalism to poignantly expressive yearning, before returning to the energetic thrust of the opening. ‘The Anfortas Wound’, pictured in the second movement, can never be healed and is evoked with plangent yearning; then the finale – inspired by the composer’s young daughter – at first is glitteringly light-hearted, then becomes a tender berceuse, before gathering pace and culminating in a tidal wave of minimalist brass and percussion. The brief, succinct Short Ride in a Fast Machine is, in the composer’s words, ‘a cranked up, high velocity, orchestral juggernaut insistently urged on by the unyielding pulse of the wood block’.

这张精湛的唱片是探索美国当代最伟大作曲家音乐的绝佳起点，其在戴维斯交响乐厅的精彩现场录制更是无与伦比。亚当斯深受勋伯格的影响，但摒弃了勋伯格的无调性作曲风格。他的《和声学》以拱形结构跃动，从炽热、能量充沛的极简主义到充满表现力的渴望，最终回归开篇的活力四射。第二乐章描绘的“安福塔斯之伤”永远无法治愈，令人不禁感叹不已；而受作曲家年幼女儿启发的终乐章，起初轻快活泼，随后转为温柔的摇篮曲，最终节奏加快，在极简主义铜管乐和打击乐的浪潮中达到高潮。简短、简洁的《快速机器中的短途旅程》用作曲家的话来说，是“一个加速的、高速的、管弦乐的庞然大物，在木块不屈不挠的脉动下不断向前推进”。

Nixon in China (opera: complete)
Naxos 8.669022/24 (3). Orth, Kanyova, Hammons, Heller, Dahl, Opera Colorado Ch., Colorado SO, Alsop

Nixon in China is Adams’s masterpiece, an inspired and wholly original opera, worthy to stand alongside the great operas of the past based on historical subjects and matching Britten’s Peter Grimes in its immediacy and melodic flow. If it seems an extraordinary conception to base a stage work on President Nixon’s visit to communist China in 1972, it projects grippingly in the theatre, and it stands up just as compellingly musically on record. Adams’s special brand of minimalism works magnetically in the rich orchestral accompaniment, and the music has a lyrical flow absent from most modern operas. Adams really can write for the voice and the choral music too is especially telling, but many of the solo arias are magnetic. Marin Alsop has this music in her very being, and her version is cast from strength. Robert Orth is a strong Nixon and his wife Pat is intensely and sympathetically characterized by Maria Kanyova. But Tracy Dahl steals the show in her sympatheic portrayal of Madame Mao, particularly in the coloratura of the closing Act. An unforgettable set, which won the 2010 Gramophone Opera Award.

In some respects the earlier, St Luke’s recording, conducted by Edo de Waart ( None. 79177-2 (3), Sylvan, Craney, Maddalena, St Luke’s Ch. & O), is more sophisticated, particularly the chorus, and Madame Mao (Trudy Ellen Craney) sings splendidly at the climax of the opera’s third Act.

《尼克松在中国》是亚当斯的杰作，一部充满灵感、独具匠心的歌剧，堪比历史上以历史题材为背景的伟大歌剧，其即时性和流畅的旋律堪比布里顿的《彼得·格莱姆斯》。如果说以尼克松总统1972年访问GCZY中国为舞台创作一部作品似乎是一个非凡的构想，但它在剧院中却引人入胜，在唱片中也同样具有令人信服的音乐性。亚当斯独特的极简主义风格在丰富的管弦乐伴奏中展现出磁力，而音乐中也蕴含着大多数现代歌剧所缺乏的抒情流畅。亚当斯确实擅长为人声创作，合唱音乐也尤为突出，但许多独唱咏叹调也极具感染力。马林·阿尔索普的音乐风格浑然天成，她的版本展现了力量。罗伯特·奥斯饰演的是强势的尼克松，而他的妻子帕特则由玛丽亚·卡尼奥娃饰演，她饱含深情，充满同情。但特蕾西·达尔以其对毛夫人的深情演绎，尤其是在闭幕式的华彩部分，抢尽了风头。这套令人难忘的演出，荣获了2010年留声机歌剧奖。

从某些方面来看，之前由艾多·德·华特指挥的圣路加教堂的录音（《None. 79177-2 (3)》、西尔万的《Craney》、《Maddalena》、圣路加教堂的《Ch. & O》）更为精妙，尤其是合唱部分。毛夫人（特鲁迪·艾伦·Craney）在歌剧第三幕的高潮部分演唱得非常出色。

ADÈS, Thomas (born 1971)
(i–ii) Asyla, Op. 17; (i; iii) … But All Shall be Well, Op. 10; (iii–iv) Chamber Symphony for 15 Players, Op. 2; (iii–v) Concerto conciso for Piano & Chamber Orchestra, Op. 18; (i; iii) These Premises are Alarmed, Op. 18
EMI 5 03403-2. (i) CBSO; (ii) cond. Rattle; (iii) cond. composer; (iv) Birmingham Contemporary Music Group; (v) with composer (piano)

Thomas Adès’s brilliant orchestral piece, Asyla, with its exotic use of a vast range of percussion instruments, was Simon Rattle’s choice of work to complete his inaugural programme as the new music director of the Berlin Philharmonic in November 2002. The Chamber Symphony is extraordinarily intricate in its rhythmic ideas, developing ear-tickling colouristic patterns. The Concerto conciso has the solo piano well integrated into the instrumental group, where rhythms are free and jazzy, but it brings a calm central chaconne before the closing ‘Brawl’. These Premises are Alarmed is a brief, witty apoplexy, designed as a brilliant orchestral show-piece for the Hallé Orchestra. Balance is restored in … But All Shall be Well, the title coming from ‘Little Gidding’, the last of T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Remarkable music, splendidly played and most vividly and atmospherically recorded.

托马斯·阿德斯的精彩管弦乐作品《阿塞拉》运用了丰富多样的打击乐器，是西蒙·拉特尔2002年11月就任柏林爱乐乐团新任音乐总监时，为完成其就职演出而选择的曲目。这部室内交响曲的节奏构思极其复杂，发展出令人耳目一新的色彩模式。《简洁协奏曲》将钢琴独奏与器乐组完美融合，节奏自由而爵士，但在结尾的“争吵”之前，它带来了一段平静的恰空。《这些房屋惊慌失措》是一首简短诙谐的中风作品，旨在为哈雷管弦乐团打造一部精彩的管弦乐杰作。在《……但一切都会好起来》中，平衡得以恢复，标题来自T. S. 艾略特的《四个四重奏》中的最后一首《小吉丁》。这是一部非凡的音乐，演奏精彩绝伦，录音生动逼真，氛围浓厚。

ALBÉNIZ, Isaac (1860–1909)
Iberia (complete); Navarra
Double Decca (ADD) 448 191 2 (2). Alicia de Larrocha (with GRANADOS: Goyescas)

Alicia de Larrocha has recorded Iberia three times with almost equal success, but her 1972 analogue version is rather special. She has a unique feeling for this repertoire, and plays with great character, losing little by comparison with the later digital version (also for Decca). The piano recording is most realistic and the Double Decca reissue is highly desirable for being coupled with an equally recommendable set of Granados’s Goyescas.

Alicia de Larrocha 曾三次录制《伊比利亚》，几乎都取得了同样的成功，但她1972年的模拟版本却格外特别。她对这套曲目有着独特的感受，演奏风格鲜明，与后来的数字版本（也是Decca的）相比，几乎没有任何损失。钢琴录音极其逼真，Double Decca的再版非常值得期待，因为它与同样值得推荐的Granados Goyescas套装搭配使用。
