聽大師講音樂 (伯恩斯坦與Young People's Concerts)
美國上世紀五十到七十年代流行的 Young People's Concerts 青少年音樂會最早可以追溯到一八八五年美國指揮家西奧多·托馬斯 Theodore Thomas 的家庭音樂會。其後在歐內斯特·謝林 Ernest Schelling的引導下,通過結合愛樂樂團的音樂表演與講座,變成一個具知識及趣味性的舞台節目。曾巡演於費城,倫敦,鹿特丹,和洛杉磯等地。
大指揮家伯恩斯坦從一九五二年到一九七二年接手這個節目,與紐約愛樂樂團合作,達到了一個新的水平。一九五八年這個節目由當時時髦的電視轉播,後來電視的普及時這個節目變得家喻戶曉,極受歡迎。
從一九六二年開始,青少年音樂會成為了林肯中心的系列節目,伯恩斯坦共主持了五十三場直播的講座表演,並通過CBS向超過四十個國家進行轉播。
作為音樂總監的伯恩斯坦對向青少年普及古典音樂富有極大的熱忱,甚至在樂隊休假季節,音樂會也未曾停止。伯恩斯坦的熱情激勵了幾代音樂家和音樂愛好者,
從七零年代起,每個季節都有不同風格的指揮客座青年音樂會,很多著名的指揮都客座過講座的指揮,像埃里希·萊因斯多夫,皮埃爾·布列茲,伊戈爾Buketoff ,祖賓·梅塔,柯普蘭,庫特·馬祖爾,倫納德·斯拉特金,和安德烈普列文等。
這套系列講座從最簡單的音符開始,比如第一講“音樂意味著什麼?”,一直到後來介紹著名作曲家的作品,深入淺出。對音樂,尤其是古典音樂愛好者來說,實在是不可多得的經典。講座名義上是對青少年,但對各個年齡階層的音樂愛好者都適用。
下面是伯恩斯坦主持的五十三場音樂講座的目錄,感謝數字化時代給我們帶來的便捷,所有節目都可以在油管上找到。看官可憑自家興趣選擇觀看。為君方便,本叟在此提供系列講座的前兩場。

急不得,茅兄,慢慢來,五十多集吶!謝來訪。
這個系列的講座不僅對孩子,對喜歡音樂的成年人也是非常好的普及節目。謝謝您的來訪。
看来这个周末 "不得安宁"了, 要作功课啦!
爱音乐就得有"牺牲". "牺牲"了时间,换来了对音乐的享受, 值得!
谢谢!
所以一直有跟读您对音乐名家的介绍。要不是您的提点,还不知道曾经有人花了那
么多精力爱心去为孩子们提供介绍音乐的系列节目。不管家里的小宝是否懂得欣赏,
但Leonard开头的几个有爆发力,弹性和张力的手势已经把我征服了。
不用著急,慢慢聽。這五十多講也是老伯陸陸續續花了十幾年的功夫完成的。我也是在N年前在youtube上斷斷續續的聽完。只要熱愛音樂,這個講座系列對於了解,理解音樂還是相當有價值的。謝謝留言。
看了看您列的講座系列, 也真的太为难我了.
谢谢音乐科普!
