《我的幸福5/2 週末》
*週日下午兩點誠品信義書店「廿世紀典範人物」新書分享會,我下午二時開始演講,離上次在台灣大學公開演説。快半年了!分享會報名一小時預告已額滿,但TVBS電視台慷慨的支持。派出SNG車,屆時TVBS文茜的世界周報YouTube 及世界周報Facebook 都將同步直播。
*新書分享會後我將直奔高雄衛武營,參加劉孟捷(李斯特巡禮之年)鋼琴獨奏會。這是劉孟捷回台,最重要的一場音樂會,我目睹他用盡了一切心力。過去即使21歲時在費城代打缺席大師的音樂會,劉孟捷都未曾如此緊張。他此次回台,手術前為了沒有遺憾,共舉行三場音樂會:其中4/17與5/30皆是與國家交響樂團NSO合作:530那一場指揮是呂紹嘉。但他告訴我,某些曲目對他而言,是Piece of Cake :惟獨衞武營這一場,曲目由他自己決定,現場錄影,並且找了金曲獎錄音師同步錄音。

劉夢捷明白他即將面對一個大手術,手術風險之外,他的免疫系統疾病,將使他的康復之路更長。
沒有人可以預知未來,為了圓他的夢,醫院每天都要求他早上、晚上量血壓,報告直接傳給院長。振興醫院院長魏崢雖然是亞洲第一把心臟外科醫師,但也不敢大意。
畢竟這個人的生命那麼脆弱,他的心臟主動脈剝離,那是實質的「心碎」了:但他仍有詩,仍有音樂夢。在生命的交接處,在白日與黑夜的交义口,劉孟捷想為他的音樂生涯,留下最美好的紀錄。
他選擇了李斯特。
在這場音樂會前,他甚至以英文寫下了自己與音樂、疾病的半生回顧:如李斯特的巡禮,有仰望,有沉思,有失落,有幽微的疼痛。他以詩篇般的演奏模式,傾訴,詠嘆。他曾得到天賦,也走過死蔭的幽谷。命運是一層又一層的黑影逼近,老天爺隨時想帶走他。
而他已不再流淚,不再沉浸於悲愴告別:因為對他而言活著並不容易,他要讓自己更深刻的抓住每一分時光之美。
如果時間和空間,正如哲人們所形容的
都是不實際存在的東西:那從不感到衰敗的太陽,也不會比我們了不起多少!
他如艾略特的詩句中所形容的:我們為什麼要如此貪心總在祈禱,想活上整整一個世紀?
蝴蝶雖僅活了一天,已經歷了永恆。
當他的身軀如露水還在藤蔓顫抖時,他送給我們一場「完全浪漫又超技的李斯特」。
等音樂會結束了,至少有一張CD,一段YouTube 影像:不論孟捷代表生命的那朵鮮花是否枯萎,他彈奏如天使的音聲不會飛離,它會停留在那夜,繼續釋放芬芳。
這是盡生命之力、之情獨奏的音樂會。劉孟捷説:這樣當他走進手術室時,會少一點悲傷。
或許快樂的日子本來就不多,但讓這場「完全李斯特.完全劉孟捷」的獨奏會放出神聖的光彩吧!
我必將赴會,不會錯過!我知道此刻的獨奏會,很難複製,因為它綜合了太多的情感、愛念,釋放與生命的抒情。
*劉孟捷為此次獨奏會寫下的文字:This past year has seen some unprecedented changes in the world. Many lives have been lost and many have changed. The world has changed while many of us confront the uncertainty of the future.
For most musicians, life has changed. For months, we have been conducting our lessons online, and concerts have mostly stopped or become an online experience as well. More time has been spent learning how to improve the online teaching experience than one could have imagined. While I have felt the duty to continue teaching, the format the pandemic requires for teaching leaves me unwilling to spend more time than I have to.
And truly, I have had other things to deal with. When the pandemic started to worry the American public in March, I was in the middle of a tour with the String Quartet-in-Residence at Curtis, the Vera Quartet. However, our concerts were canceled, and everything came to a sudden halt.
I felt the universe had sent me an unexpected gift, as I had also just received some terrible news concerning my worsening aortic arches and a diagnosis of kidney cancer. The sudden halt in my professional schedule seemed perfect in its timing. I was able to settle into a monastic existence, to simply practice and attempt to heal.
I see many musicians itching to be concertizing again, and many stepped into new territory, performing on the internet. Many took time to develop new podcasts, and to write new materials for their art. Sadly, many have struggled as they have fallen into desperation without any concert incomes. Altogether the music industry seems to be in peril, and many worry about how music and musicians will survive.
However, I had my own survival to think about. Having been through many difficult experiences in my life, I knew this might be the most difficult I would encounter. My Doctors describe me as a walking time bomb. My condition could be lethal at any moment if my blood pressure gets out of control. So while others wrestle with the fate of the music industry, I’ve needed to face my own fate and mortality.
Playing concerts can mean many things to people. At different times throughout my life, I’ve felt the need to express different aspects of myself. When I was young, I wanted to embody the spirit of romanticism, playing lots of Chopin and Schumann. Then there was a period of time when I wanted to challenge myself by showing off pyrotechnics. I had a brooding period where I turned to the pathos of Rachmaninoff, and then felt the need to return to the purity of Schubert and nobility of Brahms. Throughout this pandemic, I wanted to play Bach. Through Bach’s music I found a kind of spiritual sanctuary.
In considering the program for this concert, I felt again the urge to play music that reflects my current feelings and state of mind. The title of today’s recital, “Years of Pilgrimage” seems to fit exactly what I am experiencing.
Liszt wrote several volumes of “Années de pèlerinage” throughout his life to reflect on thoughts he had during his travels. He links his philosophical thoughts to the scenery which inspired them. “Au Bord d’un Source” describes feelings of rejuvenation while standing next to a clear stream of water, a symbol and source of life and energy. It seems to say, when the stream is so pure, life can be so full of joy.
In the Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este (The Fountains of the Villa d'Este), the water has a magical and supernatural quality, as Liszt himself wrote in the inscription: "But the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life,"( from the Gospel of John.)
For me, I have never felt more connected to Liszt than when he looked upon the valley of Obermann and questioned the meaning of existence. At this moment in my life, I often find myself reflecting my experiences of what I see and read into philosophical musings. Perhaps many people come to a time when this is so.
In all this I have felt gratitude for the love stories and sonnets that one can romantically indulge in, and for storms so violent that they threaten to destroy one’s spirit, even the hell-bound journey which brings up questions about the purpose of life…
On this journey, I felt full and alive as a human being. Looking back on this journey, I am grateful for everything, whether happy or sad, to have made an impact, found and imparted meaning to this life.
The unusual time of this pandemic has marked a milestone for me. I have journeyed back home, and as it happened, this is the first time I have spent so much time in my hometown Kaohsiung in over 35 years. It’s particularly nostalgic to play these pieces as some of them were significant in my early musical career. Vallée d’Obermann was the piece I played in my first competition at the junior high school level, in which I won first prize on the national level, which allowed me to be qualified to apply for a special permission to study abroad. This meant my dream to be educated as a musician could be continued in an environment where I could develop fully. In the following year when I was 13, I won the first Asia-Pacific Youth PIano Competition with the Dante Sonata. The competition catapulted me into national attention as I was headlined in several newspapers, and especially since it was held in Kaohsiung, I became a local hero as well. During the same event, I had a fateful meeting with one of the important influences in my life, Mr. Gary Graffman, who then mentored me throughout not only the years when I was studying at Curtis, but throughout my illness and recovery as a pianist. Right before I departed to study in Philadelphia, I played my first solo recital throughout Taiwan, and along with the Dante Sonata, I also performed the three sonnets.
It’s perfect that now, back in Kaohsiung, all these memories have flooded back into my head. I feel so lucky to have been born here, and to have met my first teacher, Chin-Li Lee, who inspired me on the path to become a musician. Prof. Alexander Sung filled me with dreams of becoming an artist. I am grateful for his belief in my talent, when he chose to give a 12 year old such philosophical pieces to play.
Having once again spent some months in Kaohsiung, I can freshly appreciate the source of inspiration it once was for me. I have returned to the source to heal. Having already glimpsed hell’s gate several times, battered and weathered by the storms of life, I know there is a reason life is this way, and it all will be alright.

*劉孟捷衛武營《李斯特巡禮之年》演奏會中,包括李斯特以佩脫拉克三首情詩譜寫的鋼琴琴詩:這三首情詩是從大詩人佩脫拉克一百多首情詩挑出來的,詩本身就很優美,依此激發李斯特的浪漫主義創作靈感,成為琴藝上最困難演奏,但也特別細膩溫柔的琴詩。
這三首分別是:
〈佩脫拉克第47號十四行詩〉〈佩脫拉克第104號十四行詩〉及〈佩脫拉克第123號十四行詩〉。
Franz Liszt(1811-1886): Sonetto 47 del Petrarca, Sonetto 104 del Petrarca, Sonetto 123 del Petrarca, from Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième année: Italie
李斯特於1846年先出版藝術歌曲《三首佩脫拉克十四行詩》(Tre sonetti del Petrarca),再改成鋼琴獨奏版。
三首佩脫拉克十四行詩
中譯:焦元溥(元溥也是友情贊助,特別準備音樂資料,周日南下,聆賞劉孟捷的樂曲,並且陪同他盯著錄音共三天)
〈第47〉
祝福每天、每月、每年,
所有片刻與鐘點、時間與季節,
在那美麗的原野,
我為一雙眼眸魂縈夢牽。
祝福初遇時的甜,
與愛同在、受苦不停歇,
如弓箭刺穿令我淌血,
傷口永留感動在我心間。
祝福一切我發出的聲音,
當呼喚著我深愛的女郎,
渴望、嘆息、淚濕滿襟。
祝福我寫下的文字遠揚,
歌頌她的芳名,萬古長新。
我心永屬於她,無人能闖。
〈第104〉
我找不到和平,也無意打仗,
我恐懼、我期望,燃燒又冰透。
我向天飛升,卻躺在地上,
我一無所有,卻又擁抱整個宇宙。
我身陷囹圄,監牢又開敞;
我不受囚禁,卻銬著鎖頭。
愛情不讓我死,也不讓我飛翔;
不要我活,也不准我逃離悲愁。
欲看卻無眼,啞口還在發言,
我甘心殞滅,卻仍高聲呼救,
我痛恨自己,但仍愛著他人。
憂傷滋潤我,淚水伴隨笑臉,
生命不足惜,死亡也不煩憂;
我淪落至此,都是妳啊,我的愛人!
〈第123〉
我在塵世見到仙子的美,
她天堂般優雅無與倫比。
想起她讓我悲傷又歡喜,
所見如幻夢迷霧與幽黑。
妳的可愛眼睛使我落淚,
多少次讓太陽也要妒忌。
我還聽到四周發出嘆息,
移動了山嶽停止了河水。
愛情智慧憐憫憂傷財富,
在淚水中形成甜美聲響,
奇妙和諧世上未曾目睹。
天堂追隨著音樂的流淌,
雖然枝上樹葉並未飛舞,
空氣與風息卻充滿芬芳。

piano in public 在 美國在台協會 AIT Facebook 的最佳解答
💡AIT文化新聞組:辦公室裡有什麼?
大家還記得AIT在2015年舉辦的「美國音樂出訪計畫」嗎?當年AIT邀請了獲葛萊美獎提名的R&B歌手卡洛琳‧馬拉凱 (Carolyn Malachi) 來台演出。卡洛琳是一名集爵士、嘻哈、口語藝術和豐富想像力於一身的藝術家,她充滿靈魂的歌聲,在鼓、鋼琴和貝斯的襯托下,讓樂迷聽得如痴如醉。「美國音樂出訪計畫」是一項民間文化交流計畫,旨在向全球音樂界傳播美國豐富的音樂作品和多元文化。這幅色彩豐富的海報就掛在AIT文化新聞組的牆上,彷彿能夠將我們帶回當年那場動人心弦的音樂盛宴。
大家想知道我們辦公室牆上還掛什麼東西嗎?我們會在「AIT文化新聞組:辦公室裡有什麼?」系列文中陸續介紹我們辦公室內的一些佈置與元素,藉此回顧過去並展望未來美台關係之間的緊密合作!請鎖定AIT臉書喔!
💡AIT’s Public Diplomacy Section: What’s in our office?
Do you remember AIT’s 2015 American Music Abroad program featuring a Taiwan tour by Carolyn Malachi? The Grammy-nominated artist’s vocals combine singer, hip hop, spoken-word and jazz and were backed by drums, piano and bass. American Music Abroad is a people-to-people cultural exchange program designed to communicate America’s rich musical contributions and diverse culture to the global music scene. This colorful poster – prominently displayed in AIT’s Public Diplomacy Section suite – brings us back to this wonderful and touching music event.
Curious what else hangs on our walls? We will continue introducing the décor of our PD office, which gives you a lookback and fresh perspective on the art, education and cultural exchanges between the United States and Taiwan. Stay tuned!
piano in public 在 Away We Wow Facebook 的最佳解答
Bạn ơi có muốn đến Huế? Give Away từ Silk Path Grand Huế nè 💜
Tuần rồi tụi mình đi Huế theo lời mời của Silk Path Grand Huế nè, hình vui chơi cũng khoe một ít rồi, hôm nay giới thiệu chút về khách sạn tụi mình ở nha. Nằm ngay trung tâm thành phố, bên bờ sông Hương trôi lãng đãng chính là khách sạn này đấy. Và đặc biệt tụi mình có voucher là một đêm nghỉ tại khách sạn này để dành tặng cho một bạn may mắn chia sẻ bài viết này nha.
Ấn tượng đầu tiên là sảnh khách sạn, bước vào trần cao chót vót choáng ngợp luôn, đồ trang trí nội thất kiểu đông dương pha hiện đại rất bắt mắt, đây là nơi lý tưởng để chụp ảnh check in và uống trà chiều nha, hay ngồi uống cocktail nghe chút đàn piano lúc chạng vạng cũng thú vị lắm. Có set trà chiều xem hình thấy hấp dẫn lắm mà tụi mình lại bận đi tham quan bên ngoài không về thưởng thức kịp.
Một điều mà mình mê nhất chính là các bức tranh sơn mài treo khắp khách sạn, tất cả đều là tác phẩm original của họa sĩ Bùi Hữu Hùng và Đinh Quân đẹp mê mẩn, nhiều tranh lắm, tranh treo khắp nơi luôn, tha hồ ngắm luôn đó.
Bữa tụi mình đến thì các phòng suites đang sửa chữa nên tụi mình ở phòng standard thôi, hơi nhỏ chút nhưng cũng khá thoải mái. Lần sau nếu quay lại Huế sẽ đến đây ở phòng suites cho rộng rãi hơn.
Khách sạn có 2 nhà hàng, vì ở ngắn ngày mà Huế có nhiều thức ăn địa phương ngon ngỡ ngàng nên tụi mình chỉ có thời gian để ăn thử tại nhà hàng Olivio trong khách sạn thôi, và rất ngạc nhiên với menu và chất lượng đồ ăn ở đây nha, ngon lành cành đào luôn đó. Tụi mình có 6 người nhưng ăn gần 20 món luôn. Nếu phải khai thiệt thì các món mặn ngon hơn các món tráng miệng một chút. Ở nhà hàng này có quầy bar phong phú luôn nên nếu bạn muốn ngồi uống chút gì trước khi ăn tối cũng được luôn. Tuy nhiên nhà hàng chỉ mở đến 10PM nên không có ngồi tâm tình được đến khuya nha. Nếu muốn bạn có thể ngồi bên sảnh khách sạn và nhờ room service phục vụ sau 10h nhé.
Riêng buổi sáng thì bạn nhất định phải ăn sáng trong khách sạn nha, menu à la carte nhưng mình có thể gọi bao nhiêu món cũng được, ăn uống thoải mái luôn, và ăn gì thì ăn nhất định phải thử món bún bò nha, nước trong và thanh lắm, sau đó đến xôi thập cẩm thịt kho nữa, ngon xỉu.
Khách sạn có 1 hồ bơi uốn lượn khá đẹp mắt, tụi mình chụp được quá trời hình tại đây luôn. Mùa Thu nhưng Huế vẫn nóng lắm lắm nên ngâm mình dưới hồ bơi và nhâm nhi trái dừa lạnh thì phải nói là khá tuyệt vời cho một ngày nghỉ luôn nha. À mọi người lưu ý hồ bơi này có 1 đoạn nước cao 1,5m khá sâu, nên phải cẩn thận kẻo bị sặc nước đó. Nếu đi cùng em bé phải trông em thật kỹ nha.
Ngoài ra khách sạn còn có 1 cái spa xinh lung linh nữa, nhưng tiếc là mình không có đủ thời gian để trải nghiệm, hôm trước khi về tụi mình có định làm thử dịch vụ ở đây nhưng quên không book trước nên bị kín lịch rồi tiếc ghê. Các bạn ở đây nhớ book trước dịch vụ này nha.
Chuyến này đến Huế tụi mình thật sự đã có khoảng thời gian rất vui, tuy nhận được rất nhiều lời mời để đến trải nghiệm khắp nơi nhưng thời gian tụi mình cũng khá giới hạn nên cũng chỉ đi được vài nơi thôi à, và lần này tại Huế thì vui hơn sự mong đợi luôn, cám ơn các bạn tại khách sạn đã đón tiếp tụi mình thiệt nhiệt tình nha.
Và vì tụi mình rất thích khoảng thời gian ở khách sạn này và cũng muốn tặng trải nghiệm này cho 1 bạn nào may mắn nhất, bạn làm các bước sau đây để có cơ hội nhận được một đêm nghỉ cho 2 người tại khách sạn xinh đẹp này nha:
💜 Like trang Away We Wow của tụi mình.
💜 Like & share post này ở chế độ public kèm #awaywewow #SilkPathGrandHue.
💜 Tag 3 bạn nào muốn đi Huế cùng vào bên dưới comment này cùng 1 vài câu nói dễ thương gì đó.
Chỉ vậy thôi à, tụi mình sẽ chọn một bạn dễ thương để tặng đêm nghỉ này nha. Tuần trước lúc chụp hình này Huế đang nắng đẹp lắm mà hôm nay nghe tin bão lớn thương quá Huế ơi, mong bão nhanh qua trả lại sự bình yên cho Huế nha 💜
