一个意大利人在柏林——上世纪末阿巴多的两场歌剧音乐会

An Italian in Berlin

只要提到意大利，大家就会将它与歌剧联系在一起。的确，它不但是孕育罗西尼、威尔第、贝利尼、多尼采蒂、普契尼等众多杰出的擅长歌剧创作的作曲家的摇篮，且意大利人对歌剧那与生俱来的热情，在世上恐怕也是独一无二的。而出生于米兰的指挥大师克劳迪奥·阿巴多，自幼熏陶在这片歌剧的土壤中。

Germany must be blessed by the presence of Claudio Abbado.His recorded performances at the 1996 Waldbuhne and the 1998 New Year＇s Concerts are now newly released on DVD,At that time,Angela Georghiu and Sergei Larin were but newcomers on the scene,but they have now established themselves as the topreignign stars.One could say,the operatic soil wsa really fertile in Germany at that time.
