Top 10 Mozart Recordings, Albums, and Songs

莫扎特的十大最佳唱片

By Aaron Green 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was truly a musical genius who composed an impressive body of work, all before dying at the young age of 35. In fact, he wrote his first symphony when he was only eight years old. But with so many pieces of great music, how do you know which ones are worth adding to your music collection? 

沃爾夫?qū)ぐ敹嘁了埂つ兀╓olfgang Amadeus Mozart）是真正的音樂天才，他在短短35年的一生中寫下了數(shù)量驚人的作品。事實(shí)上他寫下自己第一首交響作品時(shí)才年僅八歲。但是，如許多的音樂珍品，到底哪些才是最值得您收為囊中的呢？

Don't worry, I've got you covered. If you're new to classical music, the 10 albums I've listed below are some of my favorite Mozart recordings and songs.

不必?fù)?dān)心，讓我來告訴您。如果您剛剛步入古典音樂的欣賞行列，那么可以參考下面列出的這十個(gè)我最喜歡的莫扎特唱片和歌曲。

1.Mozart: Requiem, K.626

莫扎特：《安魂曲，K.626》

Performed by the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner creates a nearly flawless rendition of Mozart's Requiem as it would sounded when it was first composed in 1791. Unlike many recordings, this performance of Mozart's Requiem is well defined and clean like a svelte athlete - not an overly produced, heavily orchestrated, reverb mess.

由加迪納(Sir John Eliot Gardiner)指揮、蒙特威爾第合唱團(tuán)（Monteverdi Choir）與英國巴洛克獨(dú)奏家樂團(tuán)（English Baroque Soloists）合作演繹的這個(gè)版本完美得幾乎無懈可擊，聽起來此曲和1791年它剛剛面世時(shí)毫無二致。與很多唱片不同的是，這張莫扎特安魂曲演奏得宛如體態(tài)優(yōu)美的運(yùn)動(dòng)員一般線條清晰干凈利落——沒有浮夸，沒有過重的配器或過多的混響。

2.Mozart Symphonies 35, 40, & 41

《莫扎特交響曲》

There are a few albums that can never be overplayed - and this is one of them. George Szell and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra perform these three symphonies with such gusto and precision (especially the last movement of the 41st symphony), it is nearly overwhelming every time I listen to it. Every note, every detail, goes unnoticed. It is truly a remarkable and enjoyable experience to listen to these recordings.

總有幾張專輯讓人百聽不厭，此即為其一。由喬治·塞爾（George Szell）指揮、克里夫蘭交響樂團(tuán)（Cleveland Symphony Orchestra）演奏的這三首交響曲熱情洋溢又拿捏得當(dāng)（特別是第41交響曲的最后一個(gè)樂章），每每聽起來都讓我難以自抑。每個(gè)音符，每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都處理得渾然天成。聆聽這張專輯絕對(duì)會(huì)是不凡而愉快的經(jīng)歷。

3.Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 1

莫扎特最佳《鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》

With the talents of the Academy of St Martin in the Field and pianist, Alfred Brendel, Neville Marriner conducts a brilliant collection of Mozart's famous piano concertos. And with it being in Amazon's top 40 selling classical music (piano) recordings, I'm not the only one who favors this album. On this two disk set, you'll hear Mozart's Piano Concertos Nos. 19, 20, 21, 23, and 24, along with Rondos K. 382 and K. 386.  

由內(nèi)維爾·馬里納（Neville Marriner）指揮、圣馬丁室內(nèi)樂團(tuán)（Academy of St Martin in the Field）的才俊們和鋼琴家阿爾弗雷德·布倫德爾（Alfred Brendel）合作演奏了一系列莫扎特最負(fù)盛名的鋼琴協(xié)奏曲。這張專輯位列亞馬遜古典音樂（鋼琴）唱片銷售額前40，可見我并不是唯一偏愛它的人。在這張雙碟專輯中，您會(huì)欣賞到莫扎特鋼琴協(xié)奏曲第19、20、21、23、24，以及回旋曲K.382和K.386.

4.Mozart Piano Concertos Nos 20 & 27

《莫扎特第二十和第二十七鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》

 I cannot go without posting Mitsuko Uchida's recording of Mozart's Piano Concertos 20 & 27. Her impressive ability to multi-task without losing focus is astounding - she both conducts the Cleveland Orchestra and plays the solo piano. Her unique perspective and interpretation of Mozart's music is exciting and refreshing. 

說到最好的莫扎特，我絕對(duì)不會(huì)不提內(nèi)田光子的《莫扎特第二十和第二十七鋼琴協(xié)奏曲》。她超強(qiáng)的一心多用卻又不失專注的能力堪稱驚人——她既指揮克利夫蘭管弦樂團(tuán)（Cleveland Orchestra）又擔(dān)任鋼琴獨(dú)奏。內(nèi)田對(duì)于莫扎特音樂獨(dú)特的理解和演繹扣人心弦，讓人耳目一新。

5.Mozart: String Quartets

《莫扎特弦樂四重奏》

What is considered by many to be the zenith of classical string quartet writing, Mozart's six string quartets dedicated to Josef Haydn, nos. 14 through 19, were composed in Vienna in 1785. They contain some of the most polished and classically stringent compositions. The three quartets featured on this album, No. 15, No. 17 'The Hunt', and No. 19 'Dissonance' are brilliantly executed, but with the powerhouse talent and musicality of the Emerson String Quartet, not much else is to be expected.

莫扎特于1785年在維也納創(chuàng)作了六首獻(xiàn)給約瑟夫·海頓（Josef Haydn）的弦樂四重奏（第14-19），這些作品中包含了最為精湛也最為嚴(yán)格的作曲技法，被許多人譽(yù)為古典弦樂四重奏的登峰之作。此專輯中收錄的三首弦樂四重奏（第15號(hào)、第17號(hào) “狩獵”和第19號(hào) “不協(xié)和音”），都有極為出色的演奏版本，但是愛默生弦樂四重奏組（Emerson String Quartet）天分強(qiáng)大，樂感超群，他們將這幾曲演繹到了極致。

6.Mozart Die Zauberfl?te （The Magic Flute）

莫扎特歌劇《魔笛》

This is the greatest filmed performance of Mozart's Die Zauberfl?te (The Magic Flute) I've ever seen. You may recall a blog post from last year showing Diana Damrau performing the famous Queen of the Night aria from that filmed performance. It is a visual and aural masterpiece.

這是我看到過的最棒的莫扎特《魔笛》電影版本，沒有之一。您可能會(huì)想起去年我博客中貼過狄安娜·達(dá)姆饒（Diana Damrau）演唱的著名的《夜皇后詠嘆調(diào)》，就是來自這個(gè)版本，真是視覺聽覺上的雙重杰作。

7.Cecilia Bartoli - Mozart Arias

塞西莉亞·芭托莉：《莫扎特詠嘆調(diào)》

Even if you don't like her voice, there's no denying Bartoli's prowess as a performer. Her Mozart arias are sublime. Listen to her sing Mozart's Laudate Dominum' on YouTube. Her control and lyricism is bar none. On this album you'll hear selections from Marriage of Figaro, Cosi fan tutte, La clemenza di Tito, and more.

即使不喜歡她的嗓音，您也無法否認(rèn)芭托莉絕佳的演唱技巧。她的莫扎特詠嘆調(diào)可謂天籟之音。聽聽她在YouTube上的演唱吧，氣息的控制和情感的抒發(fā)都是首屈一指的。在這張專輯中，您會(huì)聽到《費(fèi)加羅的婚禮》、《女人心》、《狄托的仁慈》等歌劇選段。

8.Mozart: The Violin Sonatas

莫扎特：《小提琴奏鳴曲集》

Violinist, Itzhak Perlman and pianist, Daniel Barenboim join forces to create one amazing collection of Mozart violin sonatas. This album is not only highly recommended from me, it's also highly reviewed by other classical music fans who purchased their recordings on Amazon. The original recordings were from the 80s, and repackaged as part of a box set in the 90s. It was again repackaged in the early 2000s into the collector's edition box set seen here. No Mozart collection would be complete without these performances.

小提琴家伊扎克·帕爾曼（tzhak Perlman）和鋼琴家丹尼爾·巴倫博伊姆（Daniel Barenboim）合力打造的莫扎特小提琴奏鳴曲集令人嘆為觀止。這個(gè)套裝不僅我個(gè)人要強(qiáng)烈推薦，而且在亞馬遜購買了唱片的其他古典音樂迷們也對(duì)它評(píng)價(jià)甚高。這些唱片最初是上世紀(jì)八十年代面世的，后來在九十年代改裝成套裝的一部分，再后來在本世紀(jì)初再次改裝成現(xiàn)在可見的收藏家套裝版本。有了這些，莫扎特選集才能算是完整。

9.Mozart: The Wind Concertos

莫扎特：《管樂協(xié)奏曲集》

So far we've covered music for piano, voice, and strings. Now it's time to add some music for the lovers of wind instruments. On this album, which spans three disks, includes works like the Clarinet Concerto in A, Horn Concerto No.3 in E flat, Horn Concerto No.4 in E flat, Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra, Bassoon Concerto in B flat, Flute Concerto No.1 in G, and more.

我們剛剛已經(jīng)涉及了鋼琴、聲樂和弦樂，是時(shí)候來為管樂愛好者奉上些音樂了。這張專輯有三張碟，里面的曲目有《A大調(diào)單簧管協(xié)奏曲》、《降E大調(diào)第三圓號(hào)協(xié)奏曲》、《降E大調(diào)第四圓號(hào)協(xié)奏曲》、《長笛和豎琴協(xié)奏曲》、《降B大調(diào)巴松協(xié)奏曲》、《G大調(diào)第一長笛協(xié)奏曲》，等等。

10.The Mozart Collection

《莫扎特選集》

Here's a fantastic box set of over 230 pieces of Mozart's music. In fact, several of the recordings listed above were included in this box set. There is also a wonderful selection of Mozart's famous arias sung by exceptional singers like Cecilia Bartoli, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti. So, for those of you wanting to skip making several different purchases, you can buy this one box set and easily own a well-rounded Mozart music collection.

這個(gè)超棒的套裝中收納了230多首莫扎特的音樂作品。實(shí)際上，前面列出的某些唱片也在其中。套裝中還收有超級(jí)好聽的莫扎特最為知名的詠嘆調(diào)選段，演唱者均為頂級(jí)歌唱家，如塞西莉亞·芭托莉（Cecilia Bartoli）、普拉西多·多明戈（Placido Domingo）和魯契亞諾·帕瓦羅蒂（ Luciano Pavarotti）。那么，如果您不想多次下單的話，完全可以買這個(gè)套裝，這樣就可以輕松擁有各種形式的莫扎特音樂啦。
