Hvorostovsky是我相當喜歡的一位男中音,大概也是現在台面上最受歡迎的俄國歌劇明星之一。舉凡談到Pique Dame的Prince Yeletsky或Eugine Onegin的Onegin,他幾乎成為各大歌劇院製作的首選。

【Yeletsky Aria (Ya vas lyublyu, I love you beyond all measures):1989 Cardiff World Singing Competition打敗Bryn Terfel一戰成名】


除了他最擅長的俄國歌劇和Verdi之外,他在俄國藝術歌曲與俄國民謠的詮釋也吸引著全球聽眾,讓世人有更多機會了解俄國音樂家在歌曲創作上的藝術成就。

偶然在網路聽到Hvorostosky rehearse這首Tchaikovsky的歌曲,讓人感動莫名。

這首 「又像以前一樣孤獨一人」(Once again, as before, I am alone)是Tchaikovsky(1893)最後歌曲創作「六首浪漫曲」(Six Romances)的第六首,由一位年輕的法律系學生兼業餘詩人Daniil Rathaus負責作詞。 他與詩人這麼溝通著: 抑鬱哀傷的旋律中有個快樂的人。

這恐怕正是Tschaikovsky藝術引人入勝之處,晚年陷入身心交瘁但仍寫出觸動人心的溫暖深情作品,充滿著矛盾與衝突,卻又那麼坦然真實。

在一個需要開冷氣、靜下煩躁情緒的炎夏,聽一首讓人想起冷冽北國大地的孤寂之歌。

【Once again, as before, I am alone by Hvorostovsky】


Lyrics translated into English from Russian

I am alone again, as before,
And again unbearable anguish oppresses my heart.
The poplar is looking at my window
Illumined by the Moon
The poplar is looking at my window,
The leaves are whispering about something,
The sky is full of shining stars,
Darling, where are you now?
I am not able to tell everything,
What's going on with me.
My friend, please, pray the God for me,
Since I am already praying for you.
