先日のメサイア演奏会を聴きに来てくれた友人が関係するメサイアを今度はこちらが聴く番ということで今日は上野に出掛けた。会場は大ホール、合唱だけで300人近い大所帯の演奏だけに、フォルテで歌う部分は活力があって、歌詞をはっきり発声する訓練も積んでいるようだ。逆にニュアンスには乏しい演奏ということにもなる。
NHK-BSの「名曲探偵アマデウス」でもメサイアをテーマに番組が組まれ、バッハ・コレギウムの演奏を中心に話が進んでいたが、彼らの演奏会も年末に予定されている。これらを聞き比べると、独唱者に海外からの助っ人を配するのは言葉のこともあるのでやはり大きな強みだなと思う。この番組で我々の演奏会の様子がちらっとだけ画面に出た。しかも知人がインタビューを受けていた。
The weather is beautifully clear last few days, and the amaryllis in the vase is so vivid.
A friend who came to our concert of Messiah the other day was involved in another Messiah concert, and in turn today we went to Ueno. The premise was the large hall and the number of chorus members was also large, close to 300! The forte passages were indeed loud, and the phrases were pronounced clear enough indicating their repeated training. On the other hand, the performance tended to lack the subtle nuances.
NHK Broadcast Satellite recently featured a program of Messiah, and the story proceeded around the performance of Bach Collegium Japan. Comparing these performances including ours, it is definitely advantageous to invite solo singers from overseas that often help the problem of language. The TV program very briefly showed our concert scene, and they interviewed someone I know well.
