High Life

116 品 音乐会曲目森罗万象之处犹如万花筒，十六世纪至当代的颂赞曲、卡农、经 文歌、神剧选段、歌剧咏叹调及民谣等等，以拉丁语、德语及施蒂里亚方言、英 语、葡萄牙语、俄罗斯语、塞尔维亚语及亚美尼亚语演唱。年纪轻轻的团员如何 熟悉这么多语言，实在不得而知；可以肯定的是，他们表现得十分轻松自然，且 处处流露极佳的音乐性。当晚负责指挥及钢琴伴奏的，是屡获殊荣的莫扎特分队 指挥路易斯·德·戈多伊。台上没有管弦乐编制，但见他及一台史坦威三角钢 琴。路易斯·德·戈多伊边伴奏边指挥，琴声清澈透亮，让合唱团的甜美歌声辐 射全场。 The programme was kaleidoscopic, featuring cantatas, canons, motets, oratorio excerpts, opera arias and folk songs spanning the 16th to the modern day, sung in Latin, German and the Styrian dialect, English, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian and Armenian. How on earth the boys could manage so many languages is a mystery, but they did so with ease, fun and natural musicality. Conducting the boys was the critically acclaimed Luiz de Godoy, Choirmaster of Mozartchor. There was no orchestral setting, just a Steinway & Sons grand piano played by the Choirmaster, who needed no baton, as his entire body was one. The music was crystal-clear, allowing the Choir’s angelic voice to shine through.
