At the tender age of fourteen, upon his first foray into New York, Gustavo Dudamel cavorted with abandon upon the colossal keyboard at FAO Schwarz.

年僅十四歲的古斯塔沃·杜達美爾,於初次踏足紐約之際,在FAO Schwarz那架巨型鍵盤上恣意蹦跳。

Thirty years later he returned, now as the music director of the New York Philharmonic, with a far more considerable array of instruments at his disposalthough somewhat smaller in size.

三十年後他回來了,如今身為紐約愛樂的音樂總監,他手邊可資運用的樂器數量遠為可觀,體積卻小了些。

"This city, for the most part, is precisely the concretisation of that seething energy," he remarked this week in his office at David Geffen Hall.

「這座城市,就其絕大部分而言,正是那股沸騰能量的具象化,」他本週於大衛·格芬廳的辦公室內如是說道。

Dudamel, now forty-five years old, formally assumed the post of Music and Artistic Director last week, having previously presided over seventeen critically acclaimed seasons at the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

現年四十五歲的杜達美爾於上週正式履新音樂與藝術總監一職此前於洛杉磯愛樂執掌十七個備受讚譽之樂季

He is the twenty-seventh Music Director of that New York orchestra, whose predecessors include such eminent figures as Gustav Mahler, Willem Mengelberg, Bruno Walter, Leonard Bernstein, and Pierre Boulez.

紐約該樂團第二十七任音樂總監歷任者包括古斯塔夫·馬勒威廉·孟格爾伯格布魯諾·瓦爾特倫納德·伯恩斯坦皮埃爾·布列茲卓犖名家

Dudamel is indisputably a dazzling product nurtured by Venezuela's "El Sistema" music education programme.

杜達美爾無疑是委內瑞拉「系統音樂教育」計畫所孕育出的璀璨結晶

In October 1995, when he was still a violinist with the National Children's Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, he took the stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and subsequently boarded a bus with the orchestra to travel to the United Nations to take part in a concert performance.

1995年10月彼時尚為委內瑞拉國家兒童交響樂團小提琴手的他,於華盛頓特區甘迺迪中心登台獻藝嗣後隨樂團搭乘巴士前往聯合國參與音樂會演出

"They told us we had to go through an underwater tunnel, and our immediate reaction was, 'What?' It was like another world," Dudamel said.

他們告訴我們必須穿越一條河底隧道我們當下的反應是:『什麼?』那無異於另一個世界,」杜達美爾說道

"I remember that before we reached the river, the Twin Towers came into view.

我記得在抵達那條河之前雙子星大樓映入眼簾

Then I caught sight of the Statue of Liberty, and afterwards they led us to the United Nations.

繼而我望見自由女神像隨後他們領我們前往聯合國

After that, they took us to that toy store.

之後又帶我們去那家玩具店

It was as if we were in paradise."

我們恍若置身天堂。」

Dudamel's early schedule was nothing short of relentless: the opening concert, held at Radio City Music Hall on September 10, was hosted by the actor Liev Schreiber and featured a lineup that included Lizzo, St. Vincent, Joaquina, and Aaron Tveit; the festivities then continued at the Rainbow Room, perched high above Manhattan.

杜達美爾的初期行程堪稱馬不停蹄9月10日於無線電城音樂廳舉行的開幕音樂會由演員李佛·薛伯擔綱主持演出陣容囊括LizzoSt. VincentJoaquina與亞倫·特維特慶祝活動則移師曼哈頓高空的彩虹廳續攤。

"Gustavo Dudamel is by no means an easy man to pin down," Scheiber told the concert audience.

古斯塔沃·杜達美爾絕非易於勾勒之人,」薛伯音樂會聽眾說道

"Picture this: fold a teaspoon of Billy Joel into an ounce of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a cup of Tito Puente, and finish it off with a wisp of Barbra Streisand."

試想比利·喬爾之中摻入一茶匙尚-米榭·巴斯奇亞一盎司蒂托·普恩特一杯再綴以一縷芭芭拉·史翠珊。」

The following day, Dudamel decamped to downtown, where he presented "Voices of Memory" at the World Trade Center Arts Center, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

翌日,杜達美爾移師下城,於世界貿易中心藝術中心呈獻「記憶之聲」,以誌911恐怖攻擊25週年。

"Music belongs so profoundly to moments such as this," Dudamel said softly.

音樂如此深刻地歸屬於這樣的時刻,」杜達美爾輕聲說道

"Music cannot erase what has already happened.

音樂無法抹除已然發生之事

Yet when words can no longer reach where we need to arrive, music sometimes can.

然而當言語再也無法企及我們所需抵達之處時,音樂有時卻能

It can give voice to grief."

它能為悲傷賦予聲音。」

This week's season-opening subscription concert will commence with Prokofiev's Fifth Symphonythe very work he conducted on 29 November 2007, when he made his debut on the podium with the New York Philharmonic.

本週揭幕的訂閱音樂會,將以普羅高菲夫第五號交響曲作為開場曲目——這恰是2007年11月29日他首度執棒紐約愛樂時所演繹的樂曲。

"There are no such things as borders. What truly exists are bridges," Dudamel clarified.

並不存在所謂的邊界真正存在的是橋樑,」杜達美爾闡明道

"A symphony orchestra can likewise immerse itself in pop music, folk music, and even musical theatre.

交響樂團同樣得以沉浸於流行樂民謠乃至音樂劇之中。

We all coexist within the same space.

我們共處於同一空間

I believe that is precisely the message."

我以為便是箇中訊息。」

Barely more than a month after he took up his new post, the orchestra will set off on October 9 for a two-week European tour comprising ten concerts, and will then return in November to Carnegie Hallthe ensemble's home from 1891 to 1962to perform a concert version of Puccini's Tosca.

履新方逾月樂團旋將於10月9日啟程,展開為期兩週計10場之歐洲巡演繼而於11月重返卡內基音樂廳——該團1891年至1962年之舊址——獻演普契尼《托斯卡》之音樂會版本

"The chemistry and enthusiasm he brings are truly infectious," said Sherry Sylar, who has served as associate principal oboe since 1984.

他所帶來的這般化學反應與熱情著實極具感染力,」自1984年起擔任副首席雙簧管雪莉·賽勒說道

"During rehearsals, he addresses the orchestra simply as 'darlings.'

排練之際,他逕以『親愛的們』稱呼樂團

He will set about offering you constructive criticism, yet he consistently addresses the orchestra by that term.

他會著手給予你建設性的批評卻始終以這一稱謂對待樂團

Never before had anyone done so.

此前從未有人如此行過

It alters, to some degree, the way you receive criticism or advice."

在某種程度上改變了你接納批評或建議的方式。」

Although he is usually chauffeured by a dedicated driver, Dudamel also enjoys strolling through the streets of New York on foot; whenever traffic is congested, he switches to the subway, and occasionally he is still inevitably recognized by people.

儘管他通常配有專屬司機接送,杜達美爾亦會安步當車穿梭於紐約街頭每逢交通壅塞之際便改乘地鐵偶爾仍不免為人所識出

With his thick black hair and 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 on him.

杜達美爾頂著一頭濃密黑髮身著喬治·亞曼尼指揮套裝,其形象之契合二十一世紀指揮家典範竟致蓋爾·賈西亞·貝納於電視劇《叢林中的莫札特》中所飾角色亦以其為藍本

Even so, he still clings to a number of old-fashioned habits: he prefers to listen to music on vinyl records, and he frequently visits The Record Collector on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles to add to his collection.

即便如此他仍舊抱持若干傳統作風他偏好以黑膠唱片聆賞音樂並頻頻造訪洛杉磯梅爾羅斯大道The Record Collector以添購收藏

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

他認定自己的第一張唱片乃是丹尼爾·巴倫波因指揮芝加哥交響樂團所演奏的柴可夫斯基《1812》序曲

"I adore the timbre of LPs," Dudamel remarked.

鍾愛LP的音色,」杜達美爾說道

"I ruined some of them, because I would stop abruptly, because I was engrossed in practising conducting.

毀損了其中一些因為我會戛然而止,因為我潛心練習指揮

My father flew into a rage over this."

我父親為此勃然大怒。」

Dudamel also maintains a residence in Madrid, yet he has not as of yet determined whether he ought to secure a dwelling on Manhattan's Upper West Side, in the vicinity of the orchestra's Lincoln Center headquarters, or instead settle downtown in Chelsea.

杜達美爾於馬德里亦置有居所惟其迄今尚未定奪究竟應在紐約上西區毗鄰樂團林肯中心總部一帶覓得寓所,抑或落腳下城切爾西區

He has already become a devotee of several of New York's premier restaurants, mentioning in conversation Cosme, Milos, Mercado Little Spain, and Casa Ora, renowned for its Venezuelan cuisine.

他已儼然成為紐約若干頂級餐廳之擁躉言談間提及CosmeMilosMercado Little Spain以及以委內瑞拉料理馳名的Casa Ora

Ticket revenue for the current season, measured against the same period last year, climbed by 8%, while the number of seats sold in September leapt by 20% compared with 2025.

本樂季截至去年同期票務收入攀升了8%9月售出的座位數較2025年躍升了20%

Subscription revenue reached $12.4 million, surpassing the previous figure of $11.3 million.

訂閱套票收入達1240萬美元超越先前的1130萬美元

One of Dudamel's earliest innovations was to relocate the second violin section from his left to his right, where it would stand facing the first violins across the stage, and to shift the double basses from the right to the leftthe very arrangement he had employed in Los Angeles.

杜達美爾最初的變革之一,便是將第二小提琴聲部自其左側遷移至右側,與第一小提琴遙相對峙,並將低音提琴由右側調換至左側——此乃其於洛杉磯所採行之編制

He moved the entire orchestra closer to the front edge of the David Geffen Hall stage and made the seating layout of the players noticeably more compact.

將整個樂團移近大衛·格芬廳的舞台前沿並令團員的座席排列更形緊湊

"It was as though one were immersed in a gargantuan chamber ensemble," the violinist Elena Ming Kobiarka remarked.

恍若置身於一龐然室內樂團之中,」小提琴家艾琳娜·明·科比亞爾卡如是言

"That the brass should be within arm's reach, rather than five hundred miles distant, is nothing short of a blessing."

銅管樂器近在咫尺而非遠隔五百英里之遙,實乃幸事。」

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

杜達美爾所簽署者,乃一紙五年之合約每季將與樂團共度約莫十五週之光陰。

On Labor Day, September 7, he held his first rehearsal and delivered a brief address to the musicians, several of whom had taken part in his debut performance conducting the New York Philharmonic.

九月七日勞動節當天他展開了首次排練並向諸位音樂家發表了簡短談話而其中若干人曾參與其首度執棒紐約愛樂之演出。

Dudamel recalls that Lorin Maazel, the music director at the time, made an exception by personally introducing him at his first rehearsal in 2007; and Dudamel was already well aware by then that this orchestra was renowned for being notoriously difficult to conduct.

杜達美爾憶及時任音樂總監洛林·馬澤爾於2007年首次排練之際破例親躬引介而杜達美爾彼時已然知悉此樂團素以難以駕馭著稱。

"I was utterly terrified at the time," he recalls of his state of mind back then.

「我當時驚懼至極,」他憶及自己彼時的心念

"For the first few minutes, I would tremble uncontrollably.

起初數分鐘我會顫抖不已

Yet in the end, it turned out to be such a splendid and magnificent journey."

然而最終那竟是一段如此絢爛而瑰麗的旅程。」
