对啊,列宁格勒被纳粹德国兵临城下围城的时候,肖斯塔科维奇的著名第7交响曲继续播出,鼓舞了万千苏联红军将士的士气。肖斯塔科维奇本人和列宁格勒广播交响乐团残存的队员,再加部队的一些乐手。乐团成员没有东西吃,排练都难以完成,经常饿晕了,有三位队员在演出前殉职。在正式演出之前从来没有完整地演奏过一次全曲。
The Leningrad première of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 took place on 9 August 1942 during the Second World War, while the city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) was under siege by Nazi German forces.
Dmitri Shostakovich had intended the piece to be premièred by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, but because of the siege, that group was evacuated from the city, as was the composer himself. The world première of the symphony was held on 5 March 1942 in Kuybyshev with the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra. The Leningrad première was performed by the surviving musicians of the Leningrad Radio Orchestra, supplemented with military performers. Most of the musicians were suffering from starvation, which made rehearsing difficult: musicians frequently collapsed during rehearsals, and three died. The orchestra was able to play the symphony all the way through only once before the concert.
Despite the poor condition of the performers, the concert was highly successful, prompting an hour-long ovation. The concert was supported by a Soviet military offensive, code-named Squall, intended to silence German forces during the performance. The symphony was broadcast to the German lines by loudspeaker as a form of psychological warfare. The Leningrad première was considered by music critics to be one of the most important artistic performances of the war because of its psychological and political effects. The conductor concluded that "in that moment, we triumphed over the soulless Nazi war machine".[1] Reunion concerts featuring surviving musicians were convened in 1964 and 1992 to commemorate the event. |
