大提琴巨匠(三) - Bach Cello Suites (The Music Garden) 馬友友的巴哈靈感－dingding的部落格

第三位大師是繼承了Jacqueline Du Pre的達維多夫大提琴及為大家所熟識的大提琴家馬友友. "馬友友的巴哈靈感"這一系列DVD影片是馬友友與來自不同媒體的藝術家, 以巴赫的6組大提琴組曲創造新的藝術作品靈感.

這構思是由大提琴家馬友友提出, 他利用巴赫組曲作一個起點, 與其他類別的藝術家作一個全新的藝術交流及取得共同的見解和靈感. 第一組曲是與園境設計師合作的"音樂花園" 而第二組曲則是與建築師合作的 "建築的聲音" 等等.

在第一組曲中, 馬友友與園境設計師茱莉摩爾梅瑟薇以巴哈音樂所衍生的靈感，一同在波士頓市中心打造一座真實的花園。從構思，設計，籌款到拍攝演出，兩位主角相互激盪，創造出古典音樂的全新風貌。而百變馬友友也將以各種姿態融入大自然之中，似乎他就是花園的主人，按時栽種園中的花朵，並為現代人描繪出理想城市的藍圖。

Yo-Yo Ma, having inspired by Bach's cello suites, has collaborated with artists from different disciplines to create these new works.

Each Bach suite serves as a starting point for a completely new work in the particular artist's medium and art form. For instance, he worked with a Landscape Architect to create "The Music Garden" in Boston for Suite no.1, and with an Architect to create "The sound of the Carceri" for Suite no.2.

The Music Garden in Boston is an exploration of the beauty of Bach's Suite no.1 by playing the suite through the landscape design of a formal garden, the "musical instrument" of the Landscape Architect, Julie Moir Messervy. Her performance is throughout the DVD accompanied by Yo-Yo Ma's performance of the same suite on the Cello. They together have bought their dream of the Music Garden to life.
