Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall的点评
点评:Thoroughly enjoyed our first time hearing the Cleveland Orchestra! We took advantage of the free talk before the concert. It was a great introduction to the pieces we were to hear that night. The presenter shared photos and music as he discussed each work. And then we heard the concert! Loved Barbara Hannigan conducting! She is so animated! And appreciative of all her musicians. The four pieces we heard by American composers Crumb, Ruggles, Barber, and Gershwin were like movie scores. Especially enjoyed the Barber piece with soprano Johanna Wallroth (and banjo player) and the Gershwin Porgy & Bess medley. By the way, we sat way up near the top of the balcony...you can see the whole stage (which is interesting as they changed the orchestra configuration for each piece)...and you can hear every note perfectly! Not to mention the beauty of Severance Hall...such a stunning building.
翻译:我们第一次聆听克利夫兰管弦乐团的演出,真是太棒了!我们利用了音乐会前的免费讲座。讲座很好地介绍了当晚要欣赏的曲目。讲解员一边讲解每首作品,一边分享照片和乐谱。之后,我们欣赏了音乐会!我们非常喜欢芭芭拉·汉尼根的指挥!她充满活力,而且对所有乐手都非常赞赏。我们聆听了克拉姆、拉格尔斯、巴伯和格什温这四位美国作曲家的作品,感觉就像电影配乐一样。尤其喜欢巴伯的作品,由女高音歌唱家乔安娜·瓦尔罗斯(以及一位班卓琴演奏家)演唱,还有格什温的《波吉与贝丝》组曲。顺便说一句,我们坐在包厢顶层附近……可以看到整个舞台(这很有意思,因为他们每首曲子都会改变乐团的配置)……而且每个音符都听得清清楚楚!更不用说塞弗伦斯音乐厅的美丽了……真是一座令人惊叹的建筑。
