用音樂寫詩
——專訪意大利著名鋼琴家喬萬尼·維塔萊蒂
本刊記者 李靜
在與記者的談話中,冀宏飛也一直反復強調,團隊是最重要的,“我們有最好的員工,這就是我們的企業(yè)文化?!?/p>
“世界上只有很少幾位鋼琴家像意大利的喬萬尼·維塔萊蒂那樣,他們在嫻熟地駕馭樂器、從容不迫之外,還擁有高度的敏感?!?/p>
——瑞士《聯(lián)邦報》
喬萬尼·維塔萊蒂演奏的音樂具有動態(tài)的細膩、美妙的分句和創(chuàng)造性的造型力量。我們深深地感受到侏儒笨拙和怪誕的行走;我們被劫持到一個城堡,那里一個行吟詩人正在演唱一曲悲歌;我們與一些正在玩樂和爭吵的孩童會面;最后,在鐘鳴和強烈的和聲中,我們在“基輔的大門”前流連忘返。
——《盧塞恩最新消息》
在和意大利著名鋼琴家喬萬尼·維塔萊蒂約定采訪前,一直認為藝術家都是高高在上,清高不凡的。沒有想到與他面對面的交流竟是這么輕松愉快。來到舞臺后臺,喬萬尼就已經(jīng)在那等著了,微笑地站著,纖瘦、優(yōu)雅,又帶點小孩子般純真可愛,雙手交叉放在身前,盡顯紳士風度。
4月25日晚,這位被稱為是意大利最帥的男人、鋼琴界最紳士的大師來到重慶,為重慶的觀眾帶來了一場超高水準的鋼琴獨奏音樂會,演奏了貝多芬、肖邦等大師的經(jīng)典名曲,同時演繹了世界上最難演奏的鋼琴曲《圖畫展覽會》。演出后,喬萬尼仍然一臉興奮,他非常開心能成功的完成此次演出,這次來到重慶開音樂會主要是做兩件事情,一件是為了慈善,另一件便是為重慶的觀眾演奏。作為一位資深的鋼琴大師,喬萬尼告訴我們,不論是大型還是小型的音樂會,他都會盡全力去演奏,“彈奏鋼琴讓我快樂,我能為觀眾們演奏,看到他們他們專注欣賞的樣子,熱烈的回應,會讓我覺得很滿足,讓我感覺到自己就是臺上的主角。重慶的觀眾非常棒,非常優(yōu)秀?!?/p>
事實上,喬萬尼也是中國樂迷的老朋友,他曾于2007和2008年兩度訪問中國。首次訪華在北京大學舉辦自己的個人獨奏音樂會,受到廣大學生們的歡迎。隨后,他又赴天津、長春、沈陽、大連、長沙和西安等地舉辦獨奏音樂會,現(xiàn)在的他也應邀在西安音樂學院主持大師班,作為他們的客座教授。
被藝術界譽為“鋼琴王子”的理查德·克萊德曼和“鋼琴玩家”馬克西姆都來重慶開過鋼琴獨奏會,然而意大利鋼琴家喬萬尼·維塔萊蒂的影響更是超越于他們之上,被業(yè)內稱之為鋼琴大師。此次重慶之行,喬萬尼有說不出的驚嘆,這是他在09年后第二次來到這座城市,即使只有短短一年的時間,喬萬尼對重慶的變化依然贊不絕口。提到籌備這次音樂會的初衷,喬萬尼表示,是應自己的好朋友,在重慶伽利略意大利中心擔任主任的馬提亞的邀請,當他得知重慶當?shù)氐拇壬平M織國際婦女社一直長期資助綦江縣的貧困孩子時非常感動和支持,便一口答應下來,并決定將此次在渝演出售票所得收入的50%捐給重慶國際婦女社,支助綦江中小學“一斤奶愛心工程”以及貧困兒童。對于喬萬尼來說,這場演出不僅只是一個秀,而是他對重慶貧困地區(qū)孩子們的一片愛心?!爸貞c的發(fā)展很快,我一直都想再來重慶。重慶的觀眾樂意接受古典音樂,我認為古典音樂在重慶會有很好的未來,這是一個很好的開始,也是我選擇來重慶演奏的主要原因。”坐在他身旁的馬提亞也告訴我們,喬萬尼一直都渴望將自己的演出與慈善融合在一起,而這一次,算是圓了他的夢想。

在和喬萬尼的侃侃對話中,可以感受到他作為一流鋼琴大師的謙遜和自信,他更像一位詩人,用自己特有的音樂的方式描述著自己的鋼琴人生。喬萬尼自小學習鋼琴,與鋼琴似乎已經(jīng)渾然一體。他喜歡彈奏17世紀的古典音樂,而那時甚至還沒有發(fā)明鋼琴,有的只是一些音樂片段和記錄,但越是具有挑戰(zhàn)的事情越能激發(fā)他的熱情。能夠達到今天這樣的成就,喬萬尼表示不是因為只喜歡某一位鋼琴家,而是很多很多的綜合,他所做的就是集大家之所長,將其變成為自己的特色發(fā)揮出來。當問到有沒有見過中國的李云迪和朗朗,他開心地回應,雖然沒有見面,但早已經(jīng)聽說過他們了,也許有一天可以見面,同臺演出一定會不錯的。
今年正值偉大音樂家肖邦誕辰200年,而喬萬尼也在此次音樂會上演繹了肖邦的著名《g小調敘事曲》(作品第23號),《C小調第三十二號奏鳴曲》和《降B小調奏鳴曲作品第35號》,在對音樂家的專注和演奏力量要求極高的“終曲急板”中,他的精湛技巧再一次得到充分體現(xiàn)。正如他所說,每一個音樂家演奏的音樂都是不同的,他希望保持開放的心態(tài)去學習每一首曲子。肖邦是一個很偉大的音樂家,他也非常喜歡他,談到這里,喬萬尼也激動地告訴我們他的目標是希望可以開一場只演奏肖邦音樂的鋼琴會,彈完肖邦所有的曲子,目前他已經(jīng)完成了一半左右,正在努力朝這個方向邁進。
這就是喬萬尼的鋼琴人生,就像他演奏的音樂,具有動態(tài)的細膩,美妙的分句和創(chuàng)造性的造型力量,琴鍵之上行云流水般的演奏,沉醉其中的觀眾,共同交織出一幅以音樂為主題的詩篇。
In the evening o f Ap ril 25, the m an who is ca lled the m ost hand som e and gen tle in Ita ly, the fam ous Ita lian p ianist G iovanni Vita le tti cam e to Chongq ing to p lay a p iano so lo conce rt w ith trem endous leve ls o f skill and expe rtise fo r the aud ience in Chongq ing. He p layed c lassic p iano m usic o f Bee thoven and Chop in and a lso p e rfo rm ed the wo rld's m ost d ifficu lt p iano m usic“Pic tu res a t an Exhib ition.” G iovanni was extrem e ly hap p y to ac com p lish the pe rfo rm ance suc cess fu lly, the pu rpose o f opening the conce rt is m ain ly fo r two th ings, one is fo r cha rity, and the o the r is to p lay fo r Chongq ing peop le. As a senio r m aste r p ianist, G iovanni to ld us tha t no m a tte r la rge o r sm a ll conce rt, he w ill do his best to p lay. “Playing the p iano m akes m e hap p y. Fo r m e to p lay fo r the aud ience and wa tching them en joying m y p e rfo rm ance, a lso rece iving response from them, m akes m e fee l rea lly sa tisfied and a lead ing ac to r on the stage. The Chongq ing aud ience was ve ry good.”
In fac t, G iovanni is an o ld friend o f the Chinese peop le; he visited China tw ice in 2007 and 2008. He he ld his pe rsona l so lo conce rt in Beijing Unive rsity fo r the first tim e visiting, which was we lcom ed by the studen ts. Then he wen t to Tian jin, Shenyang, Da lian, Changsha and Xi'an to ho ld his so lo conce rt, and he w as a lso invited to hos t m as te r c lass in Xi'an Conse rva to ry o f Music as a guest p ro fesso r.
This is G iovanni's second tim e to visit Chongq ing, and he rhap sod ized abou t the changes in Chongq ing. When m en tioned why he cam e to Chongq ing to ho ld this conce rt, G iovanni said he was invited by his good friend, the ac ting d irec to r o f Ga lileo Ga lilei Ita lian Institu te in Chongq ing Ma ttia Be llom i. When he hea rd tha t the loca l cha ritab le o rganiza tion——Chongq ing In te rna tiona l Wom en's G roup has been sup po rting poo r child ren from Q ijiang, he was ve ry m oved and dec ided to dona te 50% o f a ll the incom e from this conce rt to CQ IWG to sup po rt the “1 lite r m ilk” love p ro jec t o f Q ijiang p rim a ry and second a ry schoo ls and those poo r ch ild ren. Fo r G iovanni, th is pe rfo rm ance is no t just a show, bu t a lso a love fo r the child ren in poo r a reas.“Chongq ing is d eve lop ing rap id ly, Chongq ing's aud ience is w illing to take c lassica l m usic, and I think c lassica l m usic in Chongq ing w ill have a good fu tu re, th is is a ve ry good sta rt.”
Du ring ou r ta lk w ith G iovanni, I can fee l the hum ility and se lf-con fidence o f him being an exce llen t p iano m aste r; he is m o re like a poe t, desc rib ing his life o f p iano w ith his un ique way o f m usic. G iovann i sta rted to lea rn p iano when he was a kid, he likes p laying c lassica l m usic tha t's back in the seven teen th cen tu ry, and a t tha t tim e tha t d idn't even have p iano, bu t just som e o the r m usic reco rd s, bu t the m o re the cha llenge is, the m o re en thusiasm he has. By him to achieve this today is because he like lo ts o f p ianists, it's m any o f the com p rehensive, wha t he does is to abso rb a ll the ad van tages from peop le, then m ake it becom e his own pa rticu la r fea tu res.
This yea r is the 200 th yea r o f g rea t m usic ian Chop in's b irthday, and G iovanni pe rfo rm ed som e o f Chop in's fam ous p iano m usic G M ino r Ba llad, Sona ta in b-Fla t M ino r and so on in the conce rt. As he said, eve ry m usic ian p lays d iffe ren t m usic, he hopes to keep an open m ind to stud y each p iece. Chop in is a g rea t m usic ian and he is a lso ve ry fond o f him, speaking o f this, G iovanni a lso to ld us tha t his aim is to ho ld a pe rfo rm ance abou t a ll the Chop in's p iano m usic; he has done ha lf fo r now and is wo rking towa rd s this d irec tion righ t now.
