<p class="ql-block">San Francisco Symphony Embraces the Yuja Wang Storm! A Perfect Collision of Music and Passion</p> <p class="ql-block">農(nóng)歷元宵節(jié)剛過，情人節(jié)周末，舊金山交響樂團(tuán)再次掀起一股“王羽佳熱浪”！無論她演奏什么曲目，總能讓觀眾熱血沸騰、興奮不已，仿佛多巴胺瞬間飆升。她的粉絲群體早已超越年齡界限，從少年到白發(fā)蒼蒼的樂迷，無不為她的音樂魅力所傾倒。一位樂評(píng)人這樣形容：“對(duì)于王羽佳的眾多粉絲來說，她的非凡天賦似乎取之不盡、用之不竭。從施坦威鋼琴上召喚出的音色與激情、音域與技巧、戲劇性與細(xì)膩，都是一個(gè)可再生的奇跡。而她的華麗服裝，早已成為演出的一部分，令人期待?！?lt;/p> <p class="ql-block">Valentines weekend, the San Francisco Symphony once again rode the wave of "Yuja Wang Fever"! No matter what repertoire she plays, she always manages to electrify the audience, sending their adrenaline soaring as if dopamine levels have instantly spiked. Her fan base transcends age boundaries, captivating everyone from teenagers to senior music lovers with her musical charm. A critic once described, "For Yuja Wang's legion of fans, her extraordinary talent seems inexhaustible. The tones and passion, the range and technique, the drama and subtlety she conjures from the Steinway piano are a renewable miracle. And her dazzling outfits have become an integral part of her performances, eagerly anticipated by all."</p> <p class="ql-block">左手傳奇：黑色“烏鴉”裙下的拉威爾</p><p class="ql-block">上半場(chǎng)，王羽佳身穿一襲黑色短裙，宛如一只神秘的“黑烏鴉”，帶來了拉威爾著名的《左手鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》。這首協(xié)奏曲是為失去右臂的鋼琴家保羅·維特根斯坦而作，王羽佳以超凡的控制力與技巧，賦予了這部作品新的生命。</p><p class="ql-block">只憑一只手，她就展現(xiàn)了驚人的層次感和音樂張力。她的左手在鍵盤上如跳躍的精靈，速度驚人，同時(shí)巧妙運(yùn)用延音踏板，塑造出既厚重又清晰的旋律與伴奏。為了借力，她時(shí)而用右臂撐著琴凳邊緣，時(shí)而撐著鋼琴最右側(cè)，整個(gè)演奏過程既是音樂的展現(xiàn)，更是一場(chǎng)視覺的震撼。</p> <p class="ql-block">Left Hand Legend: Ravel Under the Black "Raven" Dress</p><p class="ql-block">In the first half, Yuja Wang, dressed in a short black dress resembling a mysterious "black raven," delivered Ravel's famous "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand." This concerto was composed for pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm, and Wang, with her extraordinary control and technique, breathed new life into the piece.</p> <p class="ql-block">轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)一段Phil Young 楊智華老師的精彩評(píng)論：“ 雖然全曲只為左手而創(chuàng)作，但拉威爾在試圖創(chuàng)作一部織體像兩只手演奏一樣豐富的左手協(xié)奏曲。為了達(dá)到這種境界，拉威爾采用了很多左手在鍵盤上遠(yuǎn)距離的大跳和非常巧妙的延音踏板的運(yùn)用，以致給人一種多層次，多線條的立體感覺，然而這一切對(duì)演奏者的技術(shù)和掌控多種音色的觸健要求極高。毋庸置疑，王羽佳對(duì)樂曲所需的技術(shù)要求不在話下，但最讓人感嘆的是她在演奏中對(duì)音色的立體感掌控，在樂曲中一些只能靠大拇指奏出的旋律線條被她輕松自然的駕馳在繁復(fù)的伴奏音型之上，聽起來那么的清晰而流暢，簡(jiǎn)直不相信它是出于單獨(dú)的左手！協(xié)奏曲以低音大提琴在空弦上的分解和弦開始，低音大管在低音區(qū)引申出一段陰森而含糊不清的旋律，之后其他樂器一層一層的向上跌置加強(qiáng)，推到全奏的強(qiáng)音后終于把獨(dú)奏鋼琴拋將出來。鋼琴以非常剛強(qiáng)而鏗鏘有力的和弦打開主題的陳述。王羽佳的演奏單刀直入，堅(jiān)韌而浩瀚，強(qiáng)而不燥，樂隊(duì)緊接著回應(yīng)了鋼琴的呼喚之后在逐漸消退的樂句后引申出鋼琴抒情的獨(dú)奏段落，王羽佳的演奏像泉水一樣的清澈，微帶猶豫的旋律在流動(dòng)的伴奏音流中在唱出甜美的主題。拉威爾這部協(xié)奏曲雖然只有一個(gè)樂章，但它可以清晰的分為兩個(gè)部分，在中低音區(qū)的弦樂器的跳弓的斷音的節(jié)奏中鋼琴以鏗鏘的極速下行的和弦開始了協(xié)奏曲的第二部分。樂曲在這個(gè)持續(xù)的節(jié)奏音型下逐漸擴(kuò)張，壯大，最后形成一種洪流般的高潮，而重復(fù)的低音和雄性的氣質(zhì)讓我聯(lián)想起拉威爾的“波萊羅”舞曲。薩羅寧精確的指揮帶領(lǐng)下的樂隊(duì)與鋼琴合作默契，各聲部和獨(dú)奏與鋼琴的聲音平衡恰到好處，在樂隊(duì)最強(qiáng)音時(shí)也沒有淹沒鋼琴聲音的拋射。協(xié)奏曲的華彩樂段是占據(jù)全樂曲尺度相當(dāng)大的一部分，也是最初鋼琴家 Paul Wittgenstein 所抱怨的“鋼琴獨(dú)奏部分太長(zhǎng)”的樂段，（但最終他逐漸理解，并接受了拉威爾的版本）。這段鋼琴華彩是全曲最能顯示只靠左手能達(dá)到的巔峰，因本人是搞作曲的，我最能體會(huì)到拉威爾的絕處！他在單獨(dú)的左手演奏中把音樂織體分配為三個(gè)獨(dú)立的因素：旋律，復(fù)旋律和伴奏音型，而左手的任何一個(gè)手指都要隨時(shí)擔(dān)負(fù)著旋律線的“接力”。王羽佳在這段華彩中真可謂大大出彩！尤其是那段在急速音流下還要突出高聲部與低聲部的對(duì)句中，她的左手已做到了“分身術(shù)”的境界，令人贊嘆！之后樂隊(duì)以突如其來強(qiáng)音全奏簡(jiǎn)短扼要的結(jié)束了全曲?！?lt;/p> <p class="ql-block">With just one hand, she demonstrated astonishing layers and musical tension. Her left hand danced like a sprite across the keyboard, with breathtaking speed, while skillfully using the sustain pedal to craft melodies and accompaniments that were both rich and clear. To leverage her strength, she occasionally supported herself with her right arm on the edge of the piano bench or the far right of the piano, making the entire performance not just a musical display but also a visual spectacle.</p> <p class="ql-block">性感紅裙，挑戰(zhàn)芬蘭現(xiàn)代協(xié)奏曲</p><p class="ql-block">下半場(chǎng)，王羽佳換上了一條極具沖擊力的紅色禮服。背部設(shè)計(jì)大膽，僅有一條淡紫色的細(xì)帶宛如泳裝，裙擺高開衩至腰際，前后僅以兩塊布料相連。然而，觀眾對(duì)此早已習(xí)以為常——她的服裝風(fēng)格，已成為演出的一部分，一場(chǎng)視覺與聽覺的雙重盛宴，何況又是情人節(jié)。</p> <p class="ql-block">這一次，她帶來的是芬蘭當(dāng)代作曲家 Einojuhani Rautavaara 的 《第一鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》。這部1969年的作品在舊金山交響樂團(tuán)尚屬首演，我也是第一次聽到這個(gè)作曲家的名字。作品以獨(dú)特的風(fēng)格和深刻的情感表達(dá)而聞名，在音樂界受到高度關(guān)注。鋼琴家們普遍認(rèn)為，這部協(xié)奏曲在旋律、技巧展現(xiàn)和音色塑造上都極具挑戰(zhàn)性。</p> <p class="ql-block">Sexy Red Dress, Challenging a Finnish Modern Concerto</p><p class="ql-block">In the second half, Yuja Wang changed into a striking red gown. The back design was bold, with only a thin lavender strap resembling a swimsuit, and the skirt was slit high to the waist, connected front and back by just two pieces of fabric. However, the audience was already accustomed to this—her fashion style has become part of the show, a dual feast for the eyes and ears.</p><p class="ql-block">This time, she presented the "First Piano Concerto" by contemporary Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara. This 1969 piece was a premiere for the San Francisco Symphony, and it was also my first encounter with this composer's name. The work is renowned for its unique style and profound emotional expression, garnering significant attention in the music world. Pianists generally agree that this concerto is highly challenging in terms of melody, technical display, and tonal shaping.</p> <p class="ql-block">王羽佳的演奏難度極高，這首作品更是充滿了不拘一格的演奏技巧。她時(shí)而用幾個(gè)手指緊扣成團(tuán)，猛然敲擊琴鍵；時(shí)而以手腕側(cè)砸鍵盤，創(chuàng)造出意想不到的音響效果。這種充滿張力的演奏方式讓我大開眼界，既震撼又富有娛樂性。王羽佳深諳如何點(diǎn)燃觀眾的激情，她的表演不僅是音樂，更是一種令人血脈賁張的體驗(yàn)。</p> <p class="ql-block">Wang's performance was of extreme difficulty, and the piece was filled with unconventional playing techniques. At times, she clenched several fingers together to strike the keys sharply; at other times, she used the side of her wrist to hit the keyboard, creating unexpected sound effects. This intense style of performance was eye-opening for me, both shocking and entertaining. Yuja Wang knows exactly how to ignite the audience's passion—her performance is not just music but a thrilling experience that gets the blood pumping.</p> <p class="ql-block">音樂點(diǎn)燃全場(chǎng)，酒吧被“攻陷”</p><p class="ql-block">中場(chǎng)休息時(shí)，劇院酒吧擠滿了興奮的觀眾，酒精的香氣彌漫整個(gè)大廳，人們?nèi)宄扇旱卣務(wù)撝跤鸺训难葑唷Ｄ切┲糁照冗M(jìn)場(chǎng)的老先生們，此刻仿佛重返青春，不再需要拐杖支撐——每個(gè)人都精神煥發(fā)，仿佛被注入了活力。一位白發(fā)蒼蒼的老先生激動(dòng)地告訴我，他前一天已經(jīng)來看過一場(chǎng)，今晚又特意買了最好的座位再看一遍。他的眼神中閃爍著興奮的光芒，仿佛在見證一場(chǎng)音樂奇跡。</p> <p class="ql-block">Music Ignites the Hall, the Bar is "Overrun"</p><p class="ql-block">During intermission, the theater bar was packed with excited audience members, the air filled with the scent of alcohol as people gathered in small groups discussing Yuja Wang's performance. The elderly gentlemen who had entered with canes seemed to have regained their youth, no longer needing their canes for support—everyone was revitalized, as if injected with energy. A silver-haired gentleman excitedly told me that he had already attended a performance the previous day and had specifically bought the best seats to see her again tonight. His eyes sparkled with excitement, as if witnessing a musical miracle.</p> <p class="ql-block">在觀眾雷鳴般的掌聲中，王羽佳兩次返場(chǎng)。第一首返場(chǎng)曲目我一時(shí)無法辨認(rèn)，第二首是肖斯塔科維奇的一首作品。畢竟，她的返場(chǎng)曲目總是令人期待的神秘驚喜。</p><p class="ql-block">音樂與時(shí)尚的完美結(jié)合</p><p class="ql-block">周五晚上的演出座無虛席，尤其是樂隊(duì)成員們，也因王羽佳的演奏而倍感興奮，臉上滿是專注與激情。而舞臺(tái)上的她，露出的手臂、肩膀和后背肌肉線條優(yōu)美，充滿力量，顯然經(jīng)過精心的訓(xùn)練與維護(hù)。她的演奏不僅是對(duì)技巧的挑戰(zhàn)，也是對(duì)身體極限的探索。</p> <p class="ql-block">The Perfect Fusion of Music and Fashion</p><p class="ql-block">Friday night's performance was sold out, and even the orchestra members were visibly excited by Yuja Wang's playing, their faces full of focus and passion. On stage, her exposed arms, shoulders, and back displayed beautifully defined muscles, clearly the result of meticulous training and maintenance. Her performance is not just a challenge of skill but also an exploration of physical limits.</p> <p class="ql-block">德彪西和拉威爾的音樂都體現(xiàn)了20世紀(jì)印象派的精髓，德彪西更注重描繪大自然的氛圍和自由，和聲語言更加自由，喜歡使用全音階和模糊的調(diào)性。（照片從谷歌上下載）</p> <p class="ql-block">稍微年輕一點(diǎn)的拉威爾則更注重結(jié)構(gòu)和精確性，他的音樂風(fēng)格有很多文學(xué)情感，帶有古典主義的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，和聲語言更加復(fù)雜，喜歡使用調(diào)式音階和異國(guó)情調(diào)的元素。</p><p class="ql-block">兩位法國(guó)的音樂家互相影響，但又各自獨(dú)立，共同推動(dòng)了20世紀(jì)音樂的發(fā)展。</p><p class="ql-block">（照片從谷歌上下載）</p> <p class="ql-block">這是她周四晚演出時(shí)穿的 藍(lán)絲絨長(zhǎng)裙，同樣美艷動(dòng)人。（這張照片網(wǎng)上下載）</p> <p class="ql-block">周六晚上上半場(chǎng)的服裝（照片由朋友寧加提供）</p> <p class="ql-block">周六晚上下半場(chǎng)介紹后，一位貼心的小朋友上去送羽佳一只小白兔，因?yàn)橛鸺训纳赵诙路荨?lt;/p><p class="ql-block">（照片來自寧加）</p><p class="ql-block">無論如何，王羽佳的每一場(chǎng)演出，都是一次無與倫比的體驗(yàn)，一次讓人心跳加速的音樂冒險(xiǎn)！</p><p class="ql-block">她以全新的視角，帶有一些 Jazz 樂的風(fēng)格探索當(dāng)代作品的藝術(shù)，讓不容易聽懂的音樂變得相當(dāng)有趣味深受觀眾的喜愛。她是我們這個(gè)時(shí)代難能可貴的鋼琴藝術(shù)家。</p> <p class="ql-block">After the of the second half on Saturday night, a lovely child came up to in front of stage to give Yuja a little white rabbit, because Yuja's birthday is in February.</p><p class="ql-block">(Photo from Ningjia)</p><p class="ql-block">In any case, every performance of Yuja Wang is an unparalleled experience, a musical adventure that makes your heart beat faster!</p><p class="ql-block">She explores the art of contemporary works with a new perspective and some jazz style, making the music that is uneasy to understand become quite interesting and deeply loved by the audience. She is a rare piano artist of our time. There are two more concerts of Yuja Wang this weekend.
