L'Inverno (Allegro non molto)

Aggiacciato tremar trà nevi algenti

Al Severo Spirar d'orrido Vento,

Correr battendo i piedi ogni momento;

E pel Soverchio gel batter i denti

《冬》（不太快的快板）

人们在凛冽的寒风中、

在沁冷的冰雪里不住发抖。

靠着来回跺步来保持体温，

但牙齿仍不住地打颤。

——来自《四季》十四行诗

4月29日下午，悠扬的弦乐协奏乐章在珠海德威的爱德华·艾伦剧院响起，时而高亢，时而沉稳。被托斯卡尼尼誉为“全世界最好的室内乐团”的意大利音乐家合奏团（I MUSICI）来到珠海德威的校园，与全体师生开展了一场难得又珍贵的音乐交流活动。

适逢意大利音乐家合奏团在珠海华发中演大剧院带来巴洛克时期的经典——维瓦尔第的《四季》，珠海德威在华发中演大剧院的支持下，邀请到I MUSICI的音乐家们走进校园。

“全世界最好的室内乐团”

I MUSICI创立于1951年，至今仍然保留12位音乐家的编制。其被意大利指挥泰斗阿图尔·托斯卡尼尼誉为“全世界最好的室内乐团”。

不设指挥的高度默契，每个人都是音乐家：乐团以意大利文的“音乐家”（“I MUSICI”）作为团名。凭借团员间的绝佳默契，建立起各声部完美合一的关系，在不需要指挥的情况下，音乐的演出技巧和诠释方法上达到了高度和谐。

穿越世纪的“四季”

对于音乐爱好者而言，意大利音乐家合奏团的名字与维瓦尔第的小提琴协奏曲《四季》紧密相连。

让人很难相信，像维瓦尔第《四季》这样的作品曾经没有人去演奏。1955年，当I MUSICI意大利音乐家合奏团进入录音棚录制《四季》的第一张立体声唱片时，维瓦尔第的音乐在很大程度上还不为人所知。这张专辑一经发行，“四季热潮”迅速席卷全球乐坛，创下了世界古典唱片的销量记录。

这种划时代意义的存在，使他们被称为维瓦尔第《四季》的演绎者和代言人。转眼间，I MUSICI意大利音乐家合奏团已成立逾70年，经历了现代⾳乐历史重要的几十年，并成为了唯一一个达到此里程碑的室内乐团。

伦巴第曼图亚的“冬”

这次活动，意大利音乐家合奏团为师生们带来了《四季》当中的“冬”。在演奏最激昂的部分，剧院的观众席一片寂静，观众仿佛不约而同地屏息凝神，如同在凛冽的冬季，连空气也变得稀薄。

在演奏之后的提问环节里，音乐系的学生提问道：“在《四季》这个作品中，维瓦尔第如何通过音乐来‘描绘’四个季节？”

I MUSICI的音乐家举了生动的细节来说明：“其实，在这些乐章里面，它们都是在描述一个个不同的场景，与其说是用‘听’去分辨，不如说用‘看’去感受。比如，在冬天，小提琴的快板，你可以想象是冬天的雨滴；而大提琴的演奏，就好比是壁炉里柴火在燃烧的声音。”

在大家的印象中，冬天是干燥冰冷的；而维瓦尔第的冬季，是曼图亚的冬季。这座位于意大利伦巴第四面环水的古城让他用音符记录下了一个冰雨淅沥和炉火温煦交织的冬天。从音乐中，观众们穿越两个世纪，看到了这位音乐巨匠眼睛里的四季幻变。

巴赫，巴赫还是巴赫

跟随I MUSICI演奏其后的是珠海德威弦乐四重奏：第一小提琴——Bob G (Y11)，第二小提琴-——Enid H (Y10)，大提琴——Chloe J (Y10)，电子琴—— Felicia H (Y11)带来的巴赫的《G弦上的咏叹调》。

与维瓦尔第同时代的巴赫，被后世称为“近代音乐之父”。《G弦上的咏叹调》是巴赫最脍炙人口的作品之一。1830年，当门德尔松在钢琴上把这个作品演奏给歌德听时，歌德说：“开头是这样的华丽庄严，使人可以想象到一大群显要人物沿着长长的楼梯鱼贯而下。”

I MUSICI的音乐家在回应学生们关于巴洛克音乐对后世影响的提问时，分享道：

“音乐作为无国界的语言，会被传播和演绎，在不同时期、不同国家会发展成不同的风格。而很重要的一点是，比如20世纪一些现代很著名的音乐家的作品中，仍然能找到巴洛克音乐，或者说是古典音乐的影子。”

而当I MUSICI的音乐家们被问道他们最喜欢的巴洛克时期的音乐家时，除了维瓦尔第，还有巴赫，巴赫还是巴赫——感恩大师们留下的音乐宝藏，让身处21世纪信息时代的我们，依然能享受到百年前的音乐盛宴。

最后，感谢华发中演大剧院对本次活动的大力支持，同时感谢意大利音乐家合奏团的精彩演出和分享，为珠海德威的学生带来了宝贵的体验。

珠海德威将持续整合优质资源，为学生创造更多开拓眼界，探索不同专业领域的机会。

L'Inverno (Allegro non molto)

Aggiacciato tremar trà nevi algenti

Al Severo Spirar d'orrido Vento,

Correr battendo i piedi ogni momento;

E pel Soverchio gel batter i denti

Trembling, frozen, in the icy snow

at the horrid wind's harsh breath;

running while constantly stamping one's feet;

and feeling the teeth chatter from the overwhelming cold.

From “Winter”, sonnet of the Four Seasons

On the afternoon of 29 April, with the melodious concerto soaring at the Edward Alleyn Theatre at Dulwich Zhuhai, theworld-renownedchamber orchestra“I MUSICI”graced the campus for an exceptional music workshop for the students and staff.

Coinciding with I MUSICI's performance of Vivaldi's Baroque classic “The Four Seasons” at the Zhuhai Huafa & CPAA Grand Theatre, Dulwich Zhuhai, with the support of the theatre, was privileged to invite I MUSICI to the school.

The World's Finest Chamber Orchestra

Founded in 1951, I MUSICI is an ensemble of 12 musicians. It was described by the famous Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini as “the best chamber ensemble in the world”.

They chose the simple, yet nice, name I MUSICI and they deliberately decided to shape the ensemble without a conductor. They did so in order to create an egalitarian relationship among the twelve colleagues and friends, which would bring to their music-making a unanimity on technical and interpretative questions.

The “Four Seasons” Through the Centuries

For music aficionados, the name of the I MUSICI is inextricably linked with Vivaldi’s violin concertos The Four Seasons.

It is hard to believe that a masterpiece like Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons was once rarely performed. In 1955, when I MUSICI entered the recording studio to produce the first stereophonic record of The Four Seasons, the music piece was almost unknown to the public. Upon its release, this album ignited a “Four Seasons” frenzy that swept through the global music scene, setting a sales record for classical records worldwide.

Their epochal significance has earned them the reputation of being quintessential interpreters and ambassadors of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. I MUSICI has surpassed 70 years of existence, navigating through several important decades in modern music history and becoming the only chamber orchestra to reach this milestone.

The “Winter” in Lombardy’s Mantua

During the event, I MUSICI presented "Winter" from The Four Seasons. The theatre was silent as they performed the most powerful movement. The audience held their breath and concentrated intently, as if in the frozen winter, when even the air seemed cold and thin.

In the Q&A session that followed the performance, a music student inquired, "How does Vivaldi ‘paint’ the four seasons through music in this work?"

One of the musicians from I MUSICI offered an inspiring explanation. “Actually, each movement describes a different scene. It’s less about listening and more about visualizing. For example, in ‘Winter’, you can imagine the rapid violin notes as raindrops of the season; while the cello’s performance is akin to the sound of logs crackling in a fireplace.”

In our minds, winter is often dry and cold. However, Vivaldi’s “Winter” is that of Mantua in Lombardy. This ancient city, surrounded by the lake, inspired him to compose a winter filled with sleet and the cozy warmth of a hearth. Through his music, audiences traverse two centuries to witness the seasonal transformations as seen through the eyes of this musical maestro.

Bach, Bach, and Still Bach

Following I MUSICI’s performance, the Dulwich Zhuhai’s Quartet took the stage: first violinist Bob G (Year 11), second violinist Enid H (Year 10), cellist Chloe J (Year 10), and keyboardist Felicia H (Year 11) presented Bach’s “Air on the G String”.

CJ.S Bach, a contemporary of Vivaldi, has been posthumously dubbed “the Father of Modern Music”. “Air on the G String” is among Bach’s most beloved compositions. In 1830, when Mendelssohn played this piece for Goethe on the piano, Goethe remarked, “It starts with such grandeur and elegance that one can envision a procession of dignitaries descending along an extensive staircase”.

In response to student's questions about the impact of Baroque music on later generations, the musician from I MUSICI stated that it evolves into different styles over time and across nations.

“What's important is that we can still detect echoes of Baroque music or classical influences in modern music pieces, such as in the works of some well-known 20th-century composers”.

When asked about their favourite Baroque composers besides Vivaldi, the musicians unanimously chose Bach, making the students feel grateful for the musical treasures left by these masters. These treasures enable us in the 21st-century digital age to enjoy a musical feast composed centuries ago.

Finally, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Huafa & CPAA Grand Theatre for their generous support of this activity, and express our sincere appreciation to the Italian chamber orchestra I MUSICI for their magnificent performance and insightful sharing. Their contributions have provided the students of Dulwich Zhuhai with an invaluable experience.

Dulwich Zhuhai will continue to integrate high-quality resources to provide additional opportunities for students to broaden their perspectives and explore various fields.
