书籍简介

19世纪最伟大的诗歌之一的新译本:瓦格纳的《尼伯龙根的指环》的剧本

瓦格纳的《尼伯龙根的指环》规模宏大，气势磅礴，既无先例，也无后继者。它在瓦格纳成年后的大部分生活中占据了主导地位，并彻底改变了歌剧的本质、管弦乐队、对歌手和观众本身的要求。这四部歌剧——《莱茵金》、《女武神》、《齐格弗里德》和《诸神的黄昏》——是一个完整的世界，通过声音和舞台表演，创造出非凡的神话景观。

瓦格纳在开始创作音乐之前就写好了整个剧本。他抛弃了大多数歌剧的核心部分——大合唱和大胆的二重唱，在舞台上只有少数歌手的背景下，使用了最大的音乐力量。这些词是必不可少的:他在讲故事，在论证，而这种方式需要绝对的注意力放在所说的内容上。《尼伯龙根的指环》的歌词是19世纪文化的核心。它本身就是一部力量和宏伟的作品它对欧洲，尤其是德国文化产生了不可估量的影响。约翰·金里奇(John Deathridge)的极好的新译本，加上注释和迷人的介绍，对于任何希望掌握一种伟大的音乐体验的人来说都是必不可少的。

A superb new translation of one of the greatest nineteenth century poems: the libretto to Wagner's Ring cycle.

The scale and grandeur of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung has no precedent and no successor. It preoccupied Wagner for much of his adult life and revolutionized the nature of opera, the orchestra, the demands on singers and on the audience itself. The four operas-The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods - are complete worlds, conjuring up extraordinary mythological landscapes through sound as much as staging.

Wagner wrote the entire libretto before embarking on the music. Discarding the grand choruses and bravura duets central to most operas, he used the largest musical forces in the context often of only a handful of singers on stage. The words were essential: he was telling a story and making an argument in a way that required absolute attention to what was said. The libretto for The Ring lies at the heart of nineteenth century culture. It is in itself a work of power and grandeur and it had an incalculable effect on European and specifically German culture. John Deathridge's superb new translation, with notes and a fascinating introduction, is essential for anyone who wishes to get to grips with one of the great musical experiences.
