CANTELOUBE, Marie-Joseph (1879–1957)
Songs of the Auvergne, Series 1–5 (complete)
Erato 0927 44656-2 (2). Dawn Upshaw, Lyon Op. O, Nagano (with EMMANUEL: Chansons bourguignonnes)

Dawn Upshaw follows in the wake of famous names like Victoria de los Angeles, Kiri Te Kanawa, Véronique Gens and Jill Gomez, who have all made these delightful songs their own. But Upshaw sings with a special blend of tenderness and character, and in the famous Baïlèro she uses greater variety of dynamic, even including an echo effect. Her line in the lyrical numbers is often very beautiful, while in the quirkier items her style is nearer to Natania Davrath’s more folksy approach. She is persuasively accompanied by Kent Nagano and the Lyon Opera Orchestra with their distinctively French colouring. What makes this Erato set particularly enticing is the inclusion of half a dozen rather similar and no less captivating arrangements of Burgundian songs by Maurice Emmanuel. Full translations are provided, but in minuscule print.

唐·厄普肖 (Dawn Upshaw) 继承了维多利亚·德·洛斯·安吉利斯 (Victoria de los Angeles)、基里·特·卡纳瓦 (Kiri Te Kanawa)、维罗妮卡·根斯 (Véronique Gens) 和吉尔·戈麦斯 (Jill Gomez) 等著名歌手的风格，她们都将这些动听的歌曲演绎得独具特色。但厄普肖的歌声中，温柔与个性交织，尤为独特。在著名的《巴伊莱罗》(Baïlèro) 中，她运用了更丰富的力度变化，甚至加入了回声效果。她在抒情歌曲中的唱段通常非常优美，而在较为独特的曲目中，她的风格更接近娜塔妮娅·达芙拉特 (Natania Davrath) 更具民谣风格的演唱。长野健 (Kent Nagano) 和里昂歌剧院管弦乐团的伴奏令人信服，他们演奏的法式风情令人动容。这套埃拉托 (Erato) 合辑尤其引人入胜，因为它收录了莫里斯·埃马纽埃尔 (Maurice Emmanuel) 改编的六首风格相似、但同样引人入胜的勃艮第歌曲。专辑提供完整译本，但采用小字印刷。

CAVALLI, Francesco (1602–76)
La Calisto (DVD version)
HM DVD HMD 9909 001/2. Bayo, Lippi, Kammerer, Pushee, Winter, Visse, Oliver, Concerto Vocale, Jacobs

Cavalli was a natural successor to Monteverdi, and Jacobs is pretty faithful to the text of his most celebrated opera, making the love of Giove (Jupiter) and the nymph (La Calisto) central to the action. So Giove, when he is wooing Calisto, appears in drag, singing falsetto; the other characters too appear comically in drag, the irrepressible Dominique Visse as Furia and Alexander Oliver as Linfea. Though the fun is extreme, it can be argued that it follows period practice, and the sets with their elaborate trapdoors and gods descending from the heavens have a seventeenth-century flavour. There are also echoes of the commedia dell’arte, with Mercury a clown and Endimione a Harlequin figure. The sets dotted with nymphs are pretty and atmospheric.

卡瓦利是蒙特威尔第的自然继承者，而雅各布斯则相当忠实于他最著名歌剧的文本，将乔维（朱庇特）和仙女（卡利斯托）的爱情故事置于剧情的核心。因此，当乔维追求卡利斯托时，他身着女装，用假声演唱；其他角色也以滑稽的女装出现，比如饰演菲莉娅的多米尼克·维塞和饰演琳菲娅的亚历山大·奥利弗。尽管这部歌剧趣味十足，但可以说它遵循了当时的惯例，而精心设计的活板门和从天而降的诸神，则带有十七世纪的韵味。剧中也回响着意大利即兴喜剧的元素，墨丘利饰演小丑，恩迪米奥内则饰演丑角。点缀着仙女的布景优美而富有氛围。

CHABRIER, Emmanuel (1841–94)
España; Joyeuse marche; Habanera; Le Roi malgré lui: Danse slave; Fête polonaise. Suite pastorale
Australian Decca Eloquence (ADD) 480 0049 (2). SRO, Ansermet – LALO: Andantino, etc.

Now that Paul Paray’s splendid Mercury collection has been deleted, Ansermet provides the best alternative. Indeed, many may prefer the more relaxed view he takes in the charming Suite pastorale. However, it is for the character of the performance that Ansermet provides in the famous España that this recording is so famous and for its technical brilliance. The bass drum is captured here by Decca (in 1964) as no other company could – it has a wonderfully deep and impressive presence, but the glittering percussion is no less memorable. The rhythmic snap Ansermet brings to the Joyeuse marche is very enjoyable too (again with Decca producing some superb bass drum thwacks) and the two scenes from Le Roi malgré lui have seldom sounded so lively and vivid before – what exhilaratingly tuneful music this is, brimming with melody, wit and invention. Decca have added the charming Habanera, dating from 1956 and sounding amazingly modern for its date, though obviously not as dazzling as the 1964 recordings.

如今，保罗·帕雷的杰作《水星》合集已被删除，安塞美则成为了最佳替代方案。诚然，许多人或许更喜欢他在迷人的田园组曲中展现的更为轻松的视角。然而，正是安塞美在著名的《西班牙》中所展现的表演特色及其精湛的技术，才使得这张唱片如此闻名。迪卡公司（Decca）在1964年捕捉到了低音鼓的精妙之处，这是其他公司无法比拟的——它拥有极其深沉而令人印象深刻的临场感，而其闪耀的打击乐也同样令人难忘。安塞美为《快乐行进曲》（Joyeuse Marche）带来的节奏感也令人赏心悦目（迪卡公司再次贡献了一些精彩的低音鼓敲击声），而《国王的不幸》中的两个场景也很少听起来如此生动活泼——这是多么令人振奋的旋律，充满了旋律、智慧和创造力。 Decca 添加了迷人的哈巴涅拉舞曲，其创作于 1956 年，听起来非常具有现代感，但显然不如 1964 年的录音那么耀眼。

CHARPENTIER, Gustave (1860–1956)
Louise (opera) complete
Sony 88697526312 (3). Ileana Cotrubas, Jane Berbié, Plácido Domingo, Michel Sénéchal, Gabriel Bacquier, Amb. Op. Ch., New Philh. O, Prêtre

Even more than Mascagni and Leoncavallo, Gustave Charpentier is a one-work composer, and one might be forgiven for thinking that that work, the opera Louise, is a one-aria opera. No other melody in this piece may quite match the soaring lyricism of the heroine’s ‘Depuis le jour’, but this fine, atmospheric recording from the mid-1970s certainly explains why Louise has long been a favourite opera in Paris. It cocoons the listener in the atmosphere of Montmartre in the 1890s, with Bohemians more obviously proletarian than Puccini’s, a whole factory of seamstresses and an assorted range of ragmen, junkmen, pea-sellers and the like, making up a highly individual cast list. Only four characters actually matter in a plot that remains essentially simple, even though the music (not counting intervals) lasts close on three hours.

Louise is torn between loyalty to her parents and her love for the Bohemian, Julien. The opera starts with a love duet and from there meanders along happily, enlivened mainly by the superb crowd scenes. One of them, normally omitted but included here, proves as fine as any, with Louise’s fellow seamstresses in their workroom (cue for sewing-machines in the percussion department) teasing her for being in love, much as Carmen is treated in Bizet’s opera. The love duets too are enchanting, and though the confrontations with the boring parents are far less appealing, the atmosphere carries one over.

Ileana Cotrubas makes a delightful heroine, not always flawless technically, but charmingly girlish. Plácido Domingo is a relatively heavyweight Julien, and Jane Berbié and Gabriel Bacquier are excellent as the parents. Under Georges Prêtre, far warmer than usual on record, the ensemble is rich and clear, with refined recording every bit as atmospheric as one could want. A splendid reissue that fills an obvious gap in the catalogue.

古斯塔夫·夏庞蒂埃甚至比马斯卡尼和莱翁卡瓦洛更像一位只创作一部作品的作曲家，因此，人们或许会误以为歌剧《路易丝》只有一部咏叹调。这部作品中或许没有任何其他旋律能与女主人公“Depuis le jour”（从白天开始）那奔放的抒情诗相媲美，但这张录制于20世纪70年代中期的精美录音，无疑解释了为何《路易丝》长期以来一直是巴黎最受欢迎的歌剧。它让听众沉浸在19世纪90年代蒙马特区的氛围中，波西米亚人比普契尼的剧作中更具无产阶级色彩，整座工厂里都是裁缝，还有形形色色的拾荒者、废品收集者、豌豆贩子等等，构成了一个极具个性的演员阵容。尽管音乐（不包括间奏）长达近三个小时，但实际上只有四个角色在剧情简洁的框架下显得至关重要。

路易丝在对父母的忠诚和对波西米亚人朱利安的爱之间左右为难。歌剧以一段爱情二重唱开场，随后轻松愉快地展开，精彩的人群场景更是锦上添花。其中一段通常会被省略，但本剧却加入了其中，堪称精彩绝伦：路易丝的裁缝同事们在工作室里（打击乐部门缝纫机的提示）取笑她陷入了爱情，就像比才歌剧中对《卡门》的处理一样。爱情二重唱同样引人入胜，虽然与沉闷父母的对峙远没有那么吸引人，但这种氛围却令人难以忘怀。

伊莱亚娜·科特鲁巴斯饰演的女主角令人赏心悦目，虽然技巧上并非完美无瑕，但却散发着迷人的少女气息。普拉西多·多明戈饰演的朱利安相对重量级，而简·贝尔比耶和加布里埃尔·巴基耶则出色地演绎了朱利安的父母。在乔治·普雷特的指挥下，乐队的演奏远比以往温暖得多，音色饱满清晰，录音的精致之处处处体现着人们所期待的氛围。这张再版专辑非常出色，填补了专辑目录上的一个明显空白。

CHARPENTIER, Marc-Antoine (1643–1704)
Médée: Suite from the opera
Australian Decca Eloquence (ADD) 480 2373. ECO, Leppard – RAMEAU: Le Temple de la Gloire. GRÉTRY: Suite of Ballet Music

‘Marc-Antoine Charpentier is an attractive and often inventive composer and this suite arranged from his opera Médée by Raymond Leppard offers some pleasant, undemanding listening. The playing is immensely alert and undoubtedly stylish and the recording extremely fine.’ That review was written in 1966, when the recording came out and, in spite of the authentic-movement revolution, there is no reason to change our opinion. Indeed, these performances have stood the test of time remarkably well and remain hugely enjoyable. Highlights include the inventive overture, a very beautiful and melancholy Prélude pour Médée seule, the flute writing in the Prélude to Act IV, the piquant Air des phantomes, a lively Air des combattans and the nicely pointed final Passepieds I et II.

"马克-安托万·夏庞蒂埃是一位富有魅力且充满创意的作曲家，雷蒙德·莱帕德从其歌剧《美狄亚》改编的这套组曲提供了悦耳怡神又不费思量的聆听享受。演奏充满灵动韵味，风格把握无可挑剔，录音效果更是精湛绝伦。"这段乐评写于1966年该录音问世之时，尽管经历了本真主义演奏革命的浪潮，我们仍无需改变当初的评价。事实上，这些演绎经受住了时间的非凡考验，至今仍能带来极大的艺术享受。精彩段落包括创意十足的前奏曲、忧郁凄美的《美狄亚独白前奏曲》第四幕前奏曲中精妙的木笛段落、诡谲迷人的《幽灵之舞》、激昂的《战士之舞》，以及韵律精妙的终章《帕斯皮耶舞曲一、二号》。

Leçons de ténèbre for Maundy Thursday & Good Friday
Virgin 2x1 5 22021-2 (2). Piau, Mellon, Lesne, Seminario Musicale, Lesne

The Leçons de ténèbre for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday from Il Seminario Musicale offer music of great variety and beauty, featuring soloists naturally attuned to this repertoire. The accompaniments are provided by a varied instrumental group, and their use is consistently imaginative and refreshing to the ear. The Psalms are sung by a smaller choral group. The effect is warm yet refined, the lyrical melancholy of much of this music is quite haunting, and the acoustic of L’Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud is ideal for the music. The reissued CDs are inexpensive and any collector attracted to this remarkable and inspired composer should consider them.

由‘Il Seminario Musicale’乐团演绎的《圣周四与圣周五的黑暗日课》展现了丰富而优美的音乐，演唱者自然贴合这一曲目风格。伴奏乐器组合多样，运用手法始终充满想象力，令人耳目一新。诗篇部分由小型合唱团演唱，整体效果温暖而精致，音乐中抒情的忧郁感萦绕人心，而丰特弗罗皇家修道院的声学环境与音乐相得益彰。再版CD价格亲民，任何对这位杰出而富有灵感的作曲家感兴趣的收藏者都值得考虑。

Médée (complete)
Erato 2564 66305-7 (3). Hunt, Padmore, Deletré, Zanetti, Salzmann, Les Arts Florissants, Christie

In his second recording of this rare opera, again with his group Les Arts Florissants, Christie was glad to be able to open out the small cuts that were made before so as to fit the LP format. The success of his new interpretation is readily borne out in the finished performance, which easily surpasses the previous one in its extra brightness and vigour, with consistently crisper and more alert ensembles, often at brisker speeds, with the drama more clearly established. The casting is first rate, with Lorraine Hunt outstanding in the tragic title-role. Her soprano has satisfying weight and richness, as well as the purity and precision needed in such classical opera, and Mark Padmore’s clear, high tenor copes superbly with the role of Jason, with no strain and with cleanly enunciated diction and sharp concern for word-meaning. The others follow Christie’s pattern of choosing cleanly focused voices, even if the tone is occasionally gritty. Altogether this is a most welcome reissue.

克里斯蒂（William Christie）与他的繁盛艺术古乐团（Les Arts Florissants）再度录制这部冷门歌剧时，欣然弥补了先前为适配黑胶唱片时长所做的删减。这一新版演绎的成功在最终呈现中不言而喻——整体演绎更显明亮鲜活，合唱段落始终更为利落灵动，速度往往更为轻快，戏剧张力也更为清晰。选角堪称一流，洛兰·亨特（Lorraine Hunt）以极具分量的女高音完美诠释了悲剧女主角，嗓音既具饱满厚重的质感，又保有此类古典歌剧所需的纯净精准；马克·帕德莫尔（Mark Padmore）清澈高亢的男高音将伊阿宋一角演绎得游刃有余，吐字清晰利落，对词义诠释细致入微。其余歌手亦遵循克里斯蒂的选角标准，嗓音线条分明，虽偶有粗粝之音。总而言之，这套再版唱片堪称一份令人欣喜的厚礼。
