'Don't be frightened, Mr. Gould is here...' - Glenn Gould
The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould is to be soloist now,
加拿大钢琴家古尔德独奏
and Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic
伯恩斯坦带领纽约爱乐乐团
in the performance of the Piano Concerto No.1 in D minor by Brahms
为大家演奏勃拉姆斯D小调第一钢琴协奏曲
I think Mr. Bernstein will have something to say to the audience.
开始之前，伯恩斯坦有一些话要和大家说
So get down to the stage
请他来到舞台
Don't be frightened. Mr.Gould is here. He will appear in a moment
大家不要慌张，古尔德在后台，马上就会和大家见面
I'm not, um, as you know, in the habit of speaking on any concert
我并不习惯在演出前说些什么
except the Thursday night previews
其实，除了周四晚的预演
but a curious situation has arisen, which merits, I think, a word or two
但是，现在的状况，让我觉得有必要说几句
You are about to hear a rather, shall we say,
待会儿在座各位听到的勃拉姆斯D小调第一钢琴协奏曲
unorthodox performance of the Brahms D Minor Concerto
我觉得可以说是离经叛道的
a performance distinctly different from any I've ever heard,
至少，和我从前听过的完全不一样
or even dreamt of for that matter
甚至是我从未想象的
in its remarkably broad tempi
它的节奏在很大的范围内变换
and its frequent departures from Brahms' dynamic indications
并且频繁地背离勃拉姆斯使用的力度标记
I cannot say I am in total agreement with Mr.Gould's conception
不得不说我没法完全同意古尔德的想法
and this raises the interesting question:"What am I doing conducting?”
那么就引发了一个有趣的问题：“我还指挥什么？”
I'm conducting it because Mr.Gould is so valid and serious an artist
我想我指挥是因为古尔德是一个可信、认真的艺术家
that I must take seriously anything he conceives in good faith
因此我会非常严肃的对待他提出的任何他坚信的东西
and his conception is interesting enough
并且，他的想法非常有趣
so that I feel you should hear it, too
我觉得值得在座各位听一听
But the age old question still remains:"In a concerto,
然而，老问题又来了：
who is the boss; the soloist or the conductor?"
“在协奏曲中，该听谁的？独奏者还是指挥？”
The answer is, of course, sometimes one,
答案并不是唯一的
sometimes the other, depending on the people involved
有时是前者，有时是后者，这取决于具体参与其中的人
But almost always, the two manage to get together
但是在大多数情况下，是二者通过说服、
by persuasion or charm or even threats to achieve a unified performance
俘获甚至威胁对方的方式，达成对演出的共识
I have only once before in my life had to submit to a soloist's wholly new
我生平只有一次对独奏者如此新奇、难以接受的想法做这样的退让，
and incompatible concept and that was the last time I accompanied Mr.Gould
那就是我上一次和古尔德合作的时候
But, but this time the discrepancies between our views are so great
但是，因为这一次我们之间的分歧如此巨大
that I feel I must make this small disclaimer
我觉得有必要在此做这样的说明
Then why, to repeat the question, am I conducting it?
所以重申这个问题，为什么我还要指挥
Why do I not make a minor scandal—get a substitute soloist,
为什么我不换一个独奏者
or let an assistant conduct?
或者找人来替代我
Because I am fascinated, glad to have the chance
因为对这样一个被频繁演奏的作品
for a new look at this much-played work
我也非常高兴并着迷于见证它呈现出的另一种面貌
Because, what's more, there are moments in Mr.
而且，在古尔德的演奏中
Gould's performance that emerge with astonishing freshness and conviction
我看到了非同一般的清新和说服力
Thirdly, because we can all learn something from this extraordinary artist,
再者，我想是因为我们总能够从这位善于思考的杰出艺术家
who is a thinking performer
这里学到些什么
and finally because there is in music
也因为在音乐中
what Dimitri Mitropoulos used to call "the sportive element"
如米特罗普洛斯所说的，存在一种“体育成分”
that factor of curiosity, adventure, experiment
一种好奇的、勇于冒险的、试验性的元素
and I can assure you that it has been an adventure
我可以非常肯定
this week collaborating with Mr. Gould on this Brahms concerto
这周与古尔德合作勃拉姆斯的协奏曲就是这样一种冒险
and it's in this spirit of adventure that we now present it to you
那么接下来的时间里，我们依然秉持这种冒险精神，共同将这个作品献给大家
