When Gustavo Dudamel first set foot in New York at the age of fourteen, he had leapt and bounded across the giant keyboard at FAO Schwarz.

当古斯塔沃·杜达梅尔十四岁首度踏足纽约之际,他曾在FAO Schwarz那架巨型键盘上纵身跃起、蹦跳不已。

Three decades having slipped by, he returned to the city as music director of the New York Philharmonic, commanding a far greater number of instruments than before, though of somewhat more modest dimensions.

三十载光阴荏苒,他以纽约爱乐乐团音乐总监之姿重返故地,此时麾下所辖乐器之数愈众,而其体积则稍逊往昔。

"This city is permeated by a kind of seething vitality," he remarked this week from his office at David Geffen Hall.

“这座城市弥漫着一种沸腾的活力,”他本周于大卫·格芬音乐厅的办公室内如是说道。

Dudamel, now 45, took up the post of music and artistic director last week, having previously wielded the baton at the Los Angeles Philharmonic for seventeen widely acclaimed seasons.

现年45岁的杜达梅尔于上周履新音乐与艺术总监一职此前他曾在洛杉矶爱乐乐团执棒十七个广受赞誉的乐季

He thereby becomes the 27th chief conductor in the history of the New York Philharmonic, a lineage whose predecessors include titans of the age such as Gustav Mahler, Willem Mengelberg, Bruno Walter, Leonard Bernstein and Pierre Boulez.

他由此成为纽约爱乐乐团史上第27位首席指挥其前任不乏古斯塔夫·马勒威廉·门格尔贝格布鲁诺·瓦尔特伦纳德·伯恩斯坦皮埃尔·布列兹一代巨匠

Dudamel may be regarded as a product of Venezuela's "El Sistema," the music education programme.

杜达梅尔堪称委内瑞拉“音乐救助体系”这一音乐教育项目的产物

In October 1995, he performed on the stage of the Kennedy Center in Washington as a violinist with the National Children's Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, and afterwards travelled by bus with the orchestra to the United Nations to take part in a concert.

1995年10月委内瑞拉国家儿童交响乐团小提琴手的身份,在华盛顿肯尼迪中心登台献艺随后随乐团乘坐大巴前往联合国参加音乐会

"They said we were going to go through an underwater tunnel, and at that point we couldn't help but wonder, 'What?' It was like another world," Dudamel said.

他们声称我们将穿越一条河底隧道彼时我们不禁忖度:‘什么?’那俨然是另一个世界,”杜达梅尔说道

"I still remember it vividly: before we reached the riverbank, I caught sight of the Twin Towers.

我至今记忆犹新在抵达河畔之前我望见了双子塔

Then the Statue of Liberty came into view, and afterwards they took us to the United Nations.

继而自由女神像映入眼帘随后他们领我们去了联合国

Immediately after that, they took us to a toy store.

紧接着他们又带我们去了玩具店

It was as if we were in paradise."

我们恍若置身天堂。”

Dudamel's early schedule was nothing short of airtight.

杜达梅尔早期的日程安排堪称密不透风

The concert that kicked off on September 10 at Radio City Music Hall was hosted by the actor Liev Schreiber, with artists such as Lizzo, St. Vincent, Joaquina, and Aaron Tveit all taking to the stage to perform.

9月10日无线电城音乐厅揭幕的音乐会演员列维·施瑞博尔担纲主持莉佐圣文森特华金娜亚伦·特维特艺人悉数登台献艺

Afterward, the festivities relocated to the Rainbow Room, perched high above Manhattan, where they continued.

其后庆祝活动移师曼哈顿高处的彩虹厅赓续举行

"Gustavo Dudamel is by no means a man easily sketched," Schreiber candidly remarked to the concert audience.

古斯塔沃·杜达梅尔绝非易于勾勒之人,”施瑞博尔向音乐会听众坦言

"Picture, if you will, a teaspoon of Billy Joel, an ounce of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a cup of Tito Puente, into which is stirred a dash of Barbra Streisand."

试想比利·乔尔之一茶匙让-米歇尔·巴斯奎特之一盎司蒂托·普恩特之一杯之中调入些许芭芭拉·史翠珊。”

The following day, Dudamel decamped to downtown, where he took part in "Voices of Remembrance," a performance at the World Trade Center arts center marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

翌日,杜达梅尔移步下城,在世贸中心艺术中心参演纪念9·11恐怖袭击25周年的“记忆之声”演出。

"How profound is the bond between music and moments such as these," Dudamel murmured.

音乐这般时刻羁绊何其深邃,”杜达梅尔低语道

"Music cannot rewrite what has already come to pass.

音乐无从改写既成之事

Yet when words cannot reach the shore we so desperately need, music sometimes can.

然而言语无法抵达我们亟需的彼岸时,音乐有时却能。

It can give sorrow a voice."

能为悲伤赋予一种声音。”

The subscription concert series opening this week will feature Sergei Prokofiev's Fifth Symphonythe very work with which, on November 29, 2007, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic.

自本周启幕的订阅音乐会系列将呈现谢尔盖·普罗科菲耶夫的第五交响曲——2007年11月29日,他正是藉由这部作品铸就了其在纽约爱乐乐团的首次亮相。

"There are no borders, only bridges," Dudamel remarked.

不存在边界唯有桥梁,”杜达梅尔如是说

"A symphony orchestra can equally immerse itself in pop, folk, and musical theatre.

交响乐团同样能够沉浸于流行民谣与音乐剧之中

We all inhabit the same space.

我们皆置身于同一空间之内

I believe this is precisely the message to be conveyed."

我以為此即所要传递的讯息。”

Scarcely a month into his tenure, the orchestra was already set to depart on October 9 for a two-week European tour comprising ten concerts; thereafter, in November, it would return to Carnegie Hallits home from 1891 to 1962to perform a concert version of Puccini's Tosca.

履新甫及一月乐团即定于10月9日启程展开为期两周共计十场欧洲巡演继而于11月重返1891年至1962年间之驻地——卡内基音乐厅献演普契尼《托斯卡》之音乐会版

"The chemistry and the passion that he infused had a reach that was truly boundless," said Sherry Sylar, who has served as associate principal oboe since 1984.

他所注入的那股化学反应与激情其感染力可谓无远弗届,”自1984年起便担任副首席双簧管的谢里·赛勒如是说

"During rehearsals, he would address the orchestra as 'my dears.'

排练之际他唤乐团我亲爱的们’。

He would offer you constructive criticism, yet he invariably faced the entire orchestra with this form of address.

他会向你提出建设性的批评却始终以这一称谓来面对整个乐团

No one had ever done that before.

从来没有人这样做过

It changed, more or less, the way you receive criticism or advice."

这或多或少改变了你接纳批评或建议的方式。”

Although he is typically provided with a private car and driver, Dudamel nonetheless takes to the streets of New York on foot, and whenever traffic becomes congested he will switch to the subway, all the while being recognized by passersby from time to time.

尽管通常配备专车与司机,杜达梅尔仍会安步当车于纽约街头,每逢交通壅塞之际更会转乘地铁,且不时为路人辨识。

With his thick black mane of hair and his Giorgio Armani conducting suits, Dudamel so perfectly embodies the archetype of the twenty-first-century conductor that Gael García Bernal's character in the television series Mozart in the Jungle was modeled directly on him.

杜达梅尔那一头浓密的黑发,配以乔治·阿玛尼的指挥西装,其形象之契合21世纪指挥家的典范,竟至于盖尔·加西亚·贝纳尔在电视剧《丛林中的莫扎特》中所饰演的角色,正是以他为原型。

Yet he still retains a touch of the traditionalist: preferring the listening experience of vinyl records to digital formats, he frequently visits the "Record Collector" shop on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles to enrich his collection.

然而他仍不无几分传统做派相较于数字载体,他更倾心于黑胶唱片的聆听体验时常造访洛杉矶梅尔罗斯大道的“唱片收藏家”店铺以充实其收藏

He identifies his first record as Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Daniel Barenboim.

他自认其首张唱片丹尼尔·巴伦博伊姆执棒芝加哥交响乐团演绎的柴可夫斯基《1812序曲》

"I adore the sound quality that LPs deliver," Dudamel remarked, "yet I ruined quite a few of them, the reason being that I would constantly halt midway, inasmuch as I was at the time rehearsing in my capacity as a conductor.

我钟爱密纹唱片所呈现的音质,”杜达梅尔说道,“然而我损毁了不少缘由在于我每每中途停下皆因我彼时正以指挥的身份进行排练

My father was absolutely furious about it at the time."

家父当时为此勃然大怒。”

Dudamel has also put down roots in Madrid, though he has yet to decide whether to look for an apartment on the Upper West Side, adjacent to Lincoln Center where the orchestra is based, or in Chelsea downtown.

杜达梅尔亦已在马德里安家落户惟其尚未决断究竟是在毗邻乐团驻地林肯中心的上西区,抑或是下城的切尔西街区寻觅寓所。

He has already become a devotee of several of the city's top restaurants, mentioning Cosme, Milos, Mercado Little Spain, and Casa Ora, known for its Venezuelan fare.

他已俨然成为这座城市若干顶尖餐厅的拥趸并提及了CosmeMilosMercado Little Spain以及以委内瑞拉风味佳肴著称的Casa Ora

Compared with the same period last year, ticket revenue for the current season has so far registered an 8% increase, while the number of seats sold in September climbed 20% over 2025.

相较于上年同期本乐季迄今门票收入录得8%的增幅9月份售出的座位数较2025年攀升20%

Subscription package revenue reached $12.4 million, up from the previous $11.3 million.

订阅套票收入1240万美元较此前的1130万美元有所增长。

One of Dudamel's first initiatives upon taking up his new post was to relocate the second violins from his left to his right, so that they faced the first violins across the stage, while shifting the double basses from the right to the lefta configuration he had retained during his tenure in Los Angeles.

杜达梅尔履新后的首批举措之一,便是将第二小提琴声部自其左侧迁至右侧与第一小提琴声部遥相对峙,同时将低音提琴从右侧调往左侧——此乃其执掌洛杉矶时所沿用的布局

He likewise moved the entire orchestra further forward on the stage of David Geffen Hall and drew the sections into closer proximity to one another.

他亦将整支乐团移至大卫·格芬音乐厅舞台上更为靠前的位置并令各声部席位彼此更为紧凑

"It was as though we were immersed in a grand chamber-music work," the violinist Alina Ming Kobialka remarked.

恍若置身于一部恢弘的室内乐作品之中,”小提琴手阿丽娜·明·科比阿尔卡如是说

"The brass section was but a hair's breadth away from us, and that was a blessing."

铜管声部与我们相距咫尺此乃幸事。”

Dudamel signed a five-year contract, under the terms of which he will spend roughly fifteen weeks of each season with the orchestra.

杜达梅尔签署了一份为期五年的合约据此每个乐季他将与乐团共度约15周的光阴。

On Labor Day, September 7, he held his first rehearsal and delivered a brief address to the musicians, among whom were not a few who had taken part in his New York Philharmonic debut.

9月7日劳动节当天他进行了首次排练并向音乐家们作了简短致辞其中不乏曾参与纽约爱乐乐团首演的人士。

Dudamel recounts that Lorin Maazel, who was then serving as music director, broke with convention by personally introducing him at his first rehearsal in 2007.

杜达梅尔忆述彼时担任音乐总监洛林·马泽尔一反惯例于2007年他首次排练之际亲自出面将其引荐

Dudamel was already well aware at the time that the orchestra had long been notorious for being difficult to work with.

杜达梅尔当时已然知晓该乐团素以难以合作而著称

"I was terrified beyond measure," he recalls of his thoughts at the time.

恐惧至极,”追忆起彼时的念头

"For those first few minutes, I was trembling all over.

最初那几分钟,浑身战栗

Yet when all is said and done, what a magnificent and exquisite journey it has been."

然而归根结底这是一段何其瑰丽曼妙旅程。”
