开一代师宗 领笛乐风骚——纪念赵松庭先生80诞辰

A Great Master in Bamboo Flute:Marking the 80 Anniversary of Mr. Zhao Songting's Birth

20世纪后半叶,是中国笛乐艺术的一个高峰。这个高峰的出现不是偶然的。此前,作为中国竹类乐器的代表,笛在其两千余年的伴奏、合奏实践中,“穷妙极巧。旷以日月,然后成器”,建立起一个蕴含丰富、类别多样的乐器家族;而自50年代始,受到社会环境剧变和姊妹器乐艺术等因素的强烈影响,这件乐器又借助自己的“天姿”和千年积累,自立门户、脱颖而出,成为最具代表性的中国器乐独奏艺术门类之一。 这个高峰形成最根本的因素是创造这些乐器、技艺和派别的演奏家,即站在这一艺术颠峰上几位开宗立派的大师:北派创始人冯子存、刘管乐和南派创始人赵松庭、陆春龄。四位笛乐巨擎中,惟一兼顾演奏、编创、教育、理论研究四大领域,并做到门门精到,样样皆优者,便是赵松庭先生。

The second half of the 20th century saw the peak of the development of the art of Chinese bamboo flute. It did not occur by accident. In the past, bamboo flute as a representative of Chinese bamboo instruments, had been serving as accompanying instrument or in ensemble for over 2000 years, forming a rich and varied instrument family. Since the 1950s, this instrument, having been greatly effected by the concurrent social changes and its sister instruments, became one of the most representative Chinese solo instrument genres. The fundamental causes for this peak attribute to those instrumentalists who created these instrument, techniques and styles, or those forerunners standing on this peak, such as the founders of the Northern Style Feng Zi.cun and Liu Guanyue, and the founders of the Southern Style Zhao Songt-ing and Lu Chunling. Among the four masters of flute, Mr. Zhao Songting was the only one who had been engaged in all the four fields of performing, composing, education and theoretical research, well accomplished in each of the domains.
