威尔第(Giuseppe Verdi,1813-1901)
威尔第生於1813年义大利北部山地的小城巿塞特。父为兼营杂货店的客栈老闆,自幼就发觉威尔第的才能,立刻让他随村中教堂的风琴师学习音乐。10岁时已经接替老师,就任教堂风堂师。12岁时随教堂风琴师学习三年作曲,并写作不少的器乐曲和宗教曲。
18岁受富商和业餘音乐家巴雷齐资助,报考米兰音乐学院,但因超龄落第,便改遂斯卡拉剧院钢琴家拉威尼亚学习,也接连写了一些小品曲。20岁时,又回到故乡,就任教堂风琴师及合唱团指挥。但此时威尔第还只是没没无闻的秀才型人物而已。
1838年,威尔第毅然携带妻子和两个小孩,迁居米兰。次年11月,斯卡拉剧院才上演他的歌剧处女作「奥白尔托」。此剧很幸运地得到佳评,斯卡拉剧院经理梅雷尔利,又委托他写作三齣新歌剧,但在写作第一剧时,他的妻子和两个孩子不幸先后去世,结果这悲慟的打击,严重地影响了他的创作,歌剧「王国的一日」就完全失败。
威尔第在失望之餘,原想停止作曲,但梅雷尔利不断激励他,催促他继续作曲。下一齣歌剧「那布果」,上演后得到热烈喝釆,后面的「伦巴第亚人」也获成功,自此,确立了他在米兰的声誉。1844年,在威尼斯首演的「艾尔纳尼」也大受欢迎,此后,威尔第约每年完成一齣歌剧新作,而每剧一经演出,都立即成功。其3部歌剧名作「弄臣」(1851)、「游吟诗人」(1853)及「茶花女」(1853)相继问世后,威尔第因此成为义大利歌剧界的名人。
1860年,义大利统一,他勉强被同意当选为国会议员,但次年即辞去该职。1871年受埃及总督委托为庆祝苏伊士运河通航作大歌剧《阿伊达》,该剧在刻画人物及运用乐队手法上之精巧程度到登峰造极境界。写作此剧的1870年,威尔第已经57岁,早已是万眾崇拜的义大利乐坛的长老,可是他仍勇往直前,向新的道路迈进。
1873年为悼念义大利爱国诗人曼佐尼,而作唯一的一首弦乐四重奏「安魂弥撒」。过了3年,威尔第又写下名歌剧「奥特罗」,这是根据莎士比亚的同名戏剧。而威尔第最后的歌剧作品是「法斯泰夫」。此齣喜歌剧也同样取材自莎士比亚的戏剧。剧中呈然出炉火纯青的作曲技巧,纯净而高雅,音乐是他的作品中,最上等的。到80高龄时,威尔第还有这样新颖的创作,充分显露了他的伟大天才。此后威尔第在富贵中,过了幸福的晚年,同时写作了一些优美的宗教小品,1901年1月27日,威尔第在米兰去世。
GIUSEPPE VERDI
(1813 - 1901)
Verdi dominated the world of Italian opera from his first considerable success in 1842 with Nabucco until his final Shakespearean operas Otello, staged at La Scala, Milan in 1887, and Falstaff, mounted at the same opera house in 1893. His career coincided with the rise of Italian nationalism and the unification of the country, causes with which he was openly associated.
Operas
The best known of Verdi’s 28 operas are Nabucco (‘Nebuchadnezzar’), Macbeth, Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Les Vêpres siciliennes (‘The Sicilian Vespers’), Simon Boccanegra, Un ballo in maschera (‘A Masked Ball’), La forza del destino (‘The Force of Destiny’), Don Carlo, Aida, Otello and Falstaff.
Church Music
In addition to settings of the Te Deum and the Stabat MaterVerdi wrote an impressive large-scale setting of the Requiem, its origin stemming from the death of Rossini in 1868 and the death of the writer Manzoni. The Requiem is a work of operatic magnificence, none the less moving for its theatrical elements.
The Quattro pezzi sacri (‘Four Sacred Pieces’) were written at various times in Verdi’s later years. The first, Ave Maria sulla scala enigmatica, written in 1889, was followed in publication by Stabat mater, Laudi alla Vergine Maria (on a text from Dante), and Te Deum for double chorus and orchestra. The Quattro pezzi sacri were published in 1898.

Very Best of One of the Great Opera Composers
By Mart TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 25 July 2007
Format: Audio CD
This Naxos double CD is effectively a reworking of the original single CD release `The Best of Verdi', expanded to include more of the composer's music then attractively packaged with new artwork and a card slip-case cover showing an amusing caricature of the composer.
As with any `Best Of' compilation much of the composer's work will inevitably be omitted, but this collection does its best to provide a good representation of Verdi's (almost entirely operatic) music and includes excerpts from some of his finest works such as the operas `Rigoletto', `La Traviata' and `Aida'. The CD's 36 tracks run to a generous two hours and fifty minutes of what is widely regarded as today's greatest opera music, Verdi having dominated the opera scene for almost 150 years.
The sleeve notes are helpful for those wanting a little more than these highlights, for they provide recommended further listening (all Naxos label CD's of course!). But for those who do not wish to delve any deeper and are content with these types of collections there are a number of other Naxos `Very Best Of' releases featuring other composers, which together can form the basis of a respectable and reasonably comprehensive classical music CD library.
In summary, there are numerous `Best Of Opera' collections available on CD, many concentrating either on virtuoso highlights from the big names in opera singing, or else providing a cross section of opera music as a whole. However, this informative and attractively presented mid priced CD will give an excellent introduction to one of the most influential and perhaps greatest composers of 19th century Italian opera.
(The complete Naxos `Very best Of' series features Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Dvorak, Elgar, Grieg, Handel, Mozart, Puccini, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Satie, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Strauss (Johann) II, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Vivaldi).
布塞托(Busseto)与莫札特的故乡萨尔兹堡(Saltzburg)是姐妹城,但在观光上远不及萨尔兹堡有名气,当然除了它的地理位置偏僻,交通不便,它的天然风景也比不上山城萨尔兹堡。不过它还是吸引著研究威尔第音乐的音乐家及他的乐迷们。
如今去Busseto,会先去Roncole di Verdi参观他出生的房子,屋子内保有些许相片及家具。然后去Busseto,有威尔第博物馆,威尔第歌剧院及他晚年居住宅第Villa di Verdi。Busseto是一个非常单纯宁静的小城,每年最热闹的都是与威尔第相关的音乐节庆。
