故土、传媒与革新——拉赫玛尼诺夫的三重音乐天地

Motherland,Media and Innovation:Triple World of Rachmaninoff’s Music

毋庸置疑,俄罗斯作曲家拉赫玛尼诺夫是20世纪严肃音乐领域作品最受欢迎的作曲家之一。他在艺术及学术领域所引发的争论与他创作受欢迎的程度形成了鲜明的对比。俄罗斯、西欧和美国,是作为拉赫玛尼诺夫最为重要的三个艺术栖身地。俄罗斯的文化根基、美国的唱片及电影市场,以及欧洲对于音符革命的思想冲击,共同作用下形成了拉赫玛尼诺夫的音乐世界。文章通过比较拉氏与斯克里亚宾、斯特拉文斯基、普罗科菲耶夫这三位俄罗斯同胞的音乐风格,探究拉氏音乐特质及他在历史中的地位、评价等话题,进而观察20世纪以来西方的政治社会生态。

There is no doubt that Russian composer Rachmaninoff is one of the most popular composers of classical music in the 20th century.The controversy he sparked in the art world and academia,stands in sharp contrast to the popularity of his works.Russia,Western Europe and the United States are Rachmaninoff’s three most important artistic havens.Russia’s cultural roots,the American market for records and films,and Europe’s intellectual impact on the musical revolution all combined to form Rachmaninoff’s musical world.By comparing the music styles of Rachmaninoff with those of three Russian compatriots,Skryabin,Stravinsky and Prokofiev,this paper explores the characteristics of Rachmaninoff’s music,his status and evaluation in history,and then observes the social ecology of Western politics since the 20th century.
