舒曼的情書 - Twin spirits




適逢今年是舒曼生辰二百週年, Sting 與他太太 Trudie Styler 參與這個特別的製作.  他倆朗讀舒曼與他妻子Clara的情書, 中間點綴了舒曼和Clara的音樂作品, 令整個製作簡潔有力, 一面聽著舒曼的逝世, 一面細聽Traeumerei, 倍感淒美! 

"Twin Spirits' 選自舒曼其中一封情書約定與Clara在某日的同一時間一起彈奏同一樂曲, 讓他倆的精神連在一起!  真是多麼浪漫啊! 

Twin Spirits is a unique and intimate, live theatrical performance by a chamber ensemble of actors, singers and musicians, portraying the deep and ultimately tragic love between the composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife Clara Wieck. In this intensely moving performance of words, song and music, the Schumanns long separation, so formative an influence on their lives, is reflected in the division of the ensemble into male and female groups. Roberts letters to Clara are read by Sting and his songs sung by Simon Keenlyside, with accompaniments and instrumental music played by Iain Burnside and Sergej Krylov. Claras letters to Robert are read by Trudie Styler and her songs sung by Rebecca Evans, with accompaniments and instrumental music played by Natalie Clein and Natasha Paremski. The narrator, Derek Jacobi, links together the letters and lyrics to complete the essential outline of the story. Conceived and directed by John Caird, Twin Spirits was first performed in June 2005 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London and has since been experienced only at private performances for charity by small audiences of all ages and interests, leaving them deeply touched and inspired.
