悲情柴科夫斯基 [图书] 豆瓣
作者: 克劳斯·曼 译者: 姜丽 publishing house: 山东画报出版社 2003 - 4
柴科夫斯基(1840-1893)十九世纪伟大的俄罗斯作曲家、音乐教育家,被誉为伟大的俄罗斯音乐大师。他1840年5月7日出生于乌拉尔的伏特金斯克城,父亲是一个冶金工厂的厂长兼工程师,母亲爱好音乐,很会唱歌,也会弹琴,因此,他们家庭充满了音乐气氛。他自幼便已显示出非凡的音乐才能,但是,家里的人却从来没有想到他将来会成为一个职业的音乐家。
柴科夫斯基十岁时进彼得堡法律学校学习,但他仍利用课余时间继续学习钢琴,并时常去看歌剧。1859年他毕业后曾在司法部任职。在这段时间内,他一直抓紧学习音乐,参加社交性钢琴演奏和创作活动。1862年柴科夫斯基进彼得堡音乐学院学习于他终于踏上接受真正的专业音乐教育的决定性道路。毕业后(1866年),应尼古拉·鲁宾斯坦的邀请,柴科夫斯基就任莫斯科音乐学院教授,历时十一年之久。但他时常为这妨碍他的创作活动的枯燥的讲课工作而感到苦恼,既使这样,他还是创作出各种各样的优秀作品,其中包括最初的三部交响曲、交响诗《弗兰契斯卡·达·利米尼》、幻想序曲《罗米欧与朱丽叶》、舞剧《天鹅湖》以及《第一钢琴协奏曲》等。这是柴科夫斯基创作的第一个时期。
1877年开始,是柴科夫斯基的创作的极盛时期。他开始创作两部天才的作品——歌剧《叶甫根尼·奥涅金》和他的成名作《第四交响曲》。柴科夫斯基的晚年是他创作的顶峰时期。1888-1889年他访问了德国、捷克、法国和英国,与勃拉姆斯、格里格、德沃夏克、古诺、马斯涅等结下了友谊。1891年他到美国作演出旅行,获得很大成功。1893年6月,英国剑桥大学授予他名誉博士学位。在这期间,他除了创作《叶甫根尼·奥涅金》、《第四交响曲》外,还创作了《第五交响曲》、《曼弗里德交响曲》,歌剧《黑桃皇后》、《约兰塔》,舞剧《睡美人》、《胡桃夹子》;还有《暴风雨》、《意大利随想曲》、《一八一二年序曲》、《D大调小提琴协奏曲》、大提琴《洛可可主题变奏曲》以及各种器乐重奏、钢琴独奏、声乐浪漫曲等,几平涉猎所有体裁。特别是他在1893年夏天写出的《第六(悲怆)交响曲》,是他的绝笔之作,同年10月16日由作者在彼得堡亲自指挥这部作品的第一次演出。不料,10月2I日他意外地感染了霍乱病,于10月25日不幸与世长辞。
柴科夫斯基是总结全欧洲音乐发展的整个时代的一位伟大的世界规模的俄罗斯人。他建立了自己宏大的交响音乐体系,它不同于贝多芬的体系,而是以俄罗斯风格概括了贝多芬之后的交响音乐的许多发展,这使他成为交响音乐方面登峰造极的人物之一。他的音乐是俄罗斯文化在艺术领域内的最高成就之一。柴科夫斯基也是我国人民所熟悉和热爱的西欧作曲家之一。柴科夫斯基一生共写了七部交响曲,其中《g小调第一交响曲》是他的交响乐体裁的处女作,是一部真正的俄罗斯交响曲,其特征是着重于心理描写、充满爱国主义的抒情情调。这部交响曲也是人们理解他的交响乐作品的人门阶梯和“门径”。
Mephisto [图书] 豆瓣
作者: 克劳斯·曼 译者: Robin Smyth publishing house: Penguin Classics 1995 - 9
A searing indictment of evil in Hitler's Germany. Hendrik Hofgen is a man obsessed with becoming a famous actor. When the Nazis come to power in Germany, he willingly renounces his Communist past and deserts his wife and mistress in order to keep on performing. His diabolical performance as Mephistopheles in Faust proves to be the stepping-stone he yearned for: attracting the attention of Hermann Goring, it wins Hofgen an appointment as head of the State Theatre. The rewards - the respect of the public, a castle - like villa, a place in Berlin's highest circles - are beyond his wildest dreams. But the moral consequences of his betrayals begin to haunt him, turning his dreamworld into a nightmare.

Klaus Mann - Thomas Mann’s son - wrote MEPHISTO while living in exile from the Germany of World War II. In it he captures the Isherwood-like atmosphere of Nazi Germany while telling a satiric story about the rise to power of one man - a thinly veiled caricature of his own brother-in-law. The man is Hendrik Hofgen, a character actor who in his own life plays a bizarre part in the elite circle of the Third Reich. Hofgen is publicly a revolutionary, but secretly he is a man driven by an obsessive need for power and fame. Although he benefits from the prestige of being married to the daughter of an eminent politician, he endangers his rise in Nazi society by his compulsive involvement with ‘a black Venus.’ His brilliant success as Mephisto in FAUST brings him the support of the Führer’s prime minister, who appoints him head of the State Theater. His dreams are finally realized, but the story ends on a note of despair as Hofgen is forced to confront the emptiness of his life. Mann weaves his tale with amazing skill. The result is a fascinating novel of decadence and evil.

Klaus Mann, the second child of Thomas Mann, was born in Munich in 1906. He began writing short stories and articles in 1924, and within a year was a theatrical critic for a Berlin newspaper. In 1925 both a volume of short stories and his first novel, THE PIOUS DANCE, were published. His sister, Erika, to whom he was very close, was in the cast of his first play, ANJA AND ESTHER. Mann left Germany in 1933 and lived in Amsterdam until 1936, during which time he became a Czechoslovakian citizen, having been deprived of his German citizenship by the Nazis. He moved to America in 1936, living in Princeton, New Jersey, and New York City. He became a U.S. citizen in 1943. He died at the age of forty-two in Cannes, France. Robin Smyth was a European correspondent for the London Observer.
