专辑简介:

莫扎特歌剧《女人心》

　　洛伦佐·达·庞蒂是个意大利籍的犹太人，一个冒险家和诗人，是当时别具一格的人物之一，莫扎特认为他是和自己的戏剧性气质很相近的脚本作家。两人合作了三部作品：《费加罗的婚礼》、《唐·璜》和《女人心》。这几部歌剧是古典主义喜歌剧之冠，而《魔笛》则是浸透了共济会象征主义的巨型幻想作品。《后宫诱逃》和《魔笛》使德国歌剧达到了顶峰。这几部杰作中有大量的反讽，超越了产生它们的如花似锦的世界。它们达到了达·庞蒂所宣称的他和莫扎特的意图：“忠实地用全部色彩描绘各种激情。”

　　莫扎特的歌剧《女人心》直译应该是“女人都是如此”。原来歌剧的副标题是“恋人的学校”（La scuola degli amanti），但莫扎特不太喜欢这个副题，尽管剧作者Da Ponte更倾向于它，认为那更能说明剧作的意图。

　　两幕喜歌剧《女人心》，1790年首演于维也纳。它是莫扎特作品中形式最完美和平衡的一部。在今天它被认为是最富于人情味的最优秀的喜剧之一，是关于人性和人类感受，忠贞与不忠贞的微言大义。

　　故事发生在18世纪的那不勒斯，老光棍阿方索与两位年轻人打赌说：“你们正在热恋的情人对你们的感情是否是如你们自己所说的那样真挚，我很怀疑。要不然我们来验证一下如何？”两位青年欣然同意，于是这个老光棍就出下了一个馊点子，他叫两位青年佯装因公务外出，在与各自的情人道别后，却乔装成斯洛文尼亚富有的青年，去分别追求对方的情人，如果追求成功，则验证他的疑惑是正确的。于是乎两位青年便努力使出了他们各自的追求女人的绝招，来证明另一方的女人的不忠。不过，看来不忠的女人不是一方，而是双方的，因为两位青年都得逞了。两位女人在他们的百般追求下，都答应嫁给对方。最后，两位青年不得不卸去伪装，露出了他们的庐山真面目，为了验证老光棍的话，他们开了一个不大不小的玩笑！
全剧犹如室内歌剧小品一样，角色只有六人。


Mozart: Cosi fan tutte

Year: 2009
Genre: Opera

Description:

EuroArts and Unitel Classica present Cosм fan tutte on Blu-ray with an MPEG-2 codec in 1080i and 1.78:1. The best thing about this presentation from a visual standpoint is the beautifully robust color of the women's dresses. The reds and purplish-pinks blossom beautifully, just perhaps glancing the edge of blooming territory without ever bleeding over into it. Detail overall is a tad on the soft side, not helped by Guth's decision to cast large swaths of the stage in shadow. Contrast is acceptable, if never really brilliantly gradated, and there is some good to excellent detail on close-ups especially. Despina's bright red hair is another standout (literally).

Recorded at the Haus für Mozart during the 2009 Salzburg Festival

Miah Persson, Isabel Leonard, Topi Lehtipuu, Florian Boesch, Bo Skovhus & Patricia Petibon

Claus Guth - staging

Director Claus Guth’s production of Mozart’s Da Ponte trilogy for the Salzburg Festival reaches its sensational conclusion with his elegant, stylish production of Così fan tutte from the “Haus für Mozart”. Guth bolsters the unity of the cycle by making ingenious reference to his stagings of the first two works, Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni.

His widely acclaimed production of the trilogy consolidates Guth’s international reputation as one of the most sought-afterstage directors of our time. Among his other major successes are Der fliegende Holländer in Bayreuth and Luisa Miller at the Bavarian State Opera.

Guth assembles a superb ensemble of young singers who toy with love and trust under the cynical gaze of ringmaster Bo Skovhus’ Don Alfonso and his foxy, temperamental sidekick Despina, played by fiery young soprano Patricia Petitbon. Baritone Florian Boesch and tenor Topi Lehtipuu ideally complement their frisky partners Miah Persson and Isabel Leonard.

Conductor Adam Fischer keeps the tempi brisk and the Wiener Philharmoniker on their toes in his layered reading of the score.
