点评:First let’s be clear, I rate the TSO 10 out of 5 but tonight we had to rate the overall experience only 3 out of 5. We went to a TSO POPS performance REVOLUTION: The Music of The Beatles - A Symphonic Experience conducted by Jeff Tyzik. We were expecting to hear mostly the TSO but we mostly heard bad vocal impressions of The Beatles backed by the TSO. We loved the arrangement of Eleanor Rigby which Tysek conducted with just the TSO. If we had realized there were going to be vocals we might not have gone. It was a gift and I LOVE The Beatles and would have LOVED a night of just the orchestra playing. The Beatles arrangements are so good that they can easily hold their own without the lyrics sung (regardless of how amazing they are as well). If you are going to perform/sing a concert of Beatles music you better be as good at it as the performers in Classic Albums Live or The Ones shows. These three vocalists were not and HOW DARE THEY make some parts of the songs “their own”. It didn’t work.
翻译:首先要说明的是,我个人给多伦多交响乐团(TSO)打10分(满分5分),但今晚的整体体验我们只能给3分(满分5分)。我们去听了TSO POPS的演出“革命:披头士的音乐——交响乐体验”,由杰夫·泰泽克指挥。我们原本以为会听到TSO的演奏,结果听到的却是TSO伴奏下一些拙劣的披头士模仿秀。我们很喜欢泰泽克指挥TSO演奏的《Eleanor Rigby》的改编版。如果我们事先知道会有演唱部分,可能就不会去了。这是一次意外的惊喜,我非常喜欢披头士,也真心希望今晚能听到纯粹的交响乐演奏。披头士的编曲本身就非常出色,即使没有歌词(尽管歌词也很棒),也依然精彩绝伦。如果你要表演/演唱披头士的歌曲,最好能达到“经典专辑现场”或“The Ones”演出中那些表演者的水平。这三位歌手根本不是原唱,他们怎么敢擅自改动歌曲的某些部分?结果适得其反。
