“這次合作讓我體會到了柯達伊曾經(jīng)說過的一句話：歌唱可以使生活變得美好，歌唱的人可以使別人美好，如果大家一起歌唱，那么世界將變成一個美好、和諧的社會——我們的工作就是要把柯達伊的精神繼續(xù)延續(xù)下去?！痹?月中旬至下旬于匈牙利、伊朗、埃及相繼舉辦的“絲路花語”系列演出活動中，匈牙利柯達伊世界音樂協(xié)會主席奇卡爾·伊爾迪如是說；而這也是本次“絲路花語”系列演出活動所要傳遞的文化主題。

充滿感動和不舍的音樂聲

“匈牙利不僅是古絲綢之路國家之一，也是歐洲首個同中國簽署‘一帶一路’合作的國家，更是一個音樂藝術成就令人矚目的國家。李斯特、巴托克、柯達伊、艾凱爾等世界著名的音樂家均來自匈牙利，他們的音樂理念、音樂作品和創(chuàng)新經(jīng)驗，對包括中國在內(nèi)的世界音樂發(fā)展產(chǎn)生了積極影響。”中國音協(xié)駐會副主席兼秘書長韓新安表示，“絲路花語”中國民族音樂巡演首站選在匈牙利布達佩斯舉行，就是希望通過音樂在新時代繼承和發(fā)揚絲路精神。

“絲路花語”系列活動向匈牙利、埃及、伊朗三國的主流社會、文化界人士和各國使節(jié)展示了中國民族音樂的魅力和優(yōu)秀的傳統(tǒng)文化底蘊。不但演出取得了圓滿成功，在音樂交流方面的成效亦碩果累累——在匈牙利期間，中國音協(xié)與柯達伊世界音樂協(xié)會在匈牙利喬瑪文化中心簽署了合作備忘錄；在伊朗伊斯法罕期間，“金鐘團”部分音樂家訪問了伊斯法罕大學，與伊斯法罕大學校方在親切友好的氣氛中進行了座談交流，雙方均表示愿進一步加深交流合作，共同促進雙方音樂事業(yè)的發(fā)展，中國的音樂家們現(xiàn)場展示各種中國民族樂器并演奏了部分經(jīng)典曲目，引發(fā)熱烈反響；在埃及，中國音樂家們拜會了埃及文化部副部長、開羅歌劇院院長伊納斯·阿卜杜勒·達伊姆，就中埃音樂藝術交流合作事宜進行了深入探討，雙方追溯了在古絲綢之路上兩國在音樂領域互學互鑒的歷史，介紹了兩國樂器和音樂的發(fā)展情況，希冀在創(chuàng)作、表演、交流等方面搭建合作平臺，攜手共促發(fā)展。

談及此次系列演出活動的主題，韓新安說，古代絲綢之路是一條貿(mào)易之路，更是一條友誼之路。在長期的友好交往中，逐漸形成了合作包容、互學互鑒的絲路精神。中國國家主席習近平在新的歷史條件下提出“一帶一路”倡議，就是希望共同喚醒沿線國家的歷史記憶，繼承和發(fā)揚絲路精神，賦予古代絲綢之路以全新的時代內(nèi)涵。本次系列演出就是一次用音樂藝術的形式貫徹“一帶一路”倡議的具體實踐。“這次演出為匈牙利人民了解中國、感知中國文化開辟一個新的途經(jīng)。中國文化有‘高山流水覓知音’的傳統(tǒng)，在中國政府倡導‘一帶一路’的過程中，得到了匈牙利政府和人民的廣泛的共鳴和支持，希望匈牙利政府和人民能夠成為中國人民實現(xiàn)民族偉大復興過程中永遠的知音?！敝袊v匈牙利大使館文化專員王心怡說。

“This cooperation reminds me of a saying by Kodaly Zoltan, ‘singing can make a fine life and singers can make others feel fine. If all of us join in singing, the world will change into a beautiful and harmonious society.’ Thus our job is to extend such a spirit of Kodaly into the reality.” said Csikai Ildiko, president of Kodaly’s World Nonprofit LLC (KWNLLC).His words accurately conveyed the cultural theme of “Silk Road” series of performances in Hungary, Iran and Egypt in late September, 2017.

Melody Full of Touching and Lingering Senses

“As one of the countries along the ancient Silk Road, Hungary is the first one in Europe to sign the agreement for ‘B&R’ Initiative with China. It is also a country of outstanding musical achievement. Such famous musicians as Franz Liszt, Béla Viktor János Bartók, Kodaly Zoltan and Franz Erkel came from Hungary. Their concepts, composition and experience of innovation have exerted a positive impact upon the musical development of China and even the entire world,”said HAN Xin’an, executive vice president and secretary general of China Musicians Association(CMA) . By staging the premiere of “Silk Road” tour at Budapest, capital of Hungary, Chinese sponsors expected to inherit and promote the Silk Road Spirits in this new age by means of music.

Then came A Journey to Suzhou by flute instrumentalist LIU Qiang, Ambush from All Sides by Pipa player CHEN Yin, The Moon Mirrored in the Erquan Spring and Horse Race by Erhu player ZHU Changyao, Hundred Birds’ Ode to Phoenix by young Suona player ZHANG Qianyuan, Chinese music A Beautiful Jasmine as well as Hungarian Dance and Victorious by Hungarian violinist Nedo Olga, one after another, all of which won waves upon waves of applauses. When the concert came to an end, the conductor of Kodaly World Chorus, out of excitement, unexpechedly made a request for the entire audience to stand up and sing a famous song in Hungary Wish You a Good Night for JCNO that came all the way from China. In this touching and lingering melody, the concert concluded in great success. In order to enable Hungarian people to understand traditional Chinese music, a particular introduction to the typical Chinese national musical instruments as well as representative repertoire was included in the brochure, which received a warm welcome and good remarks from Hungarian audiences. Full of praise over this excellent concert, Szinetár Miklós, famous director and president of National Opera House of Hungary, and Szilasi Alex, reputable pianist in Hungary,considered this “Silk Road” concert to be a feast of Chinese music for Hungarian people.
