■ビジネス英語 Interview Leonard Slatkin 4
〇Listning poit
1 What is the first thing Mr. Slatkin does when he rehearses with an orchestra?
2 What are the NHK Orchestra members concerned about?
Shibata:
What kind of approach do you take when rehearsing with an orchestra?
Leonard Slatkin:
It's a music director's job to try to do two things.
One is to listen to the orchestra and see how they sound when they play. So my first rehearsals always are just, “Let's play this piece. I won't say anything. Let's me see what you sound like. ” Then after that I will make adjustments. Sometimes it can be the speed of the music. Sometimes it can be where the emphasis is in certain phrases. But once I know how the orchestra sounds, I don't want to change that much.
So I wouldn't ask, for example, if we were playing Gershwin's An American in Paris, very American piece, lots of jazz, lots of stuff... Yes, I might say, “You know , here, we need to swing a little bit. We shouldn't play, (
口頭で音を表現） we should be like (口頭で音を表現）”. But that's not about the sound. That's about the style.
And the better the orchestra, the less I want to change that sound. Why would I go, say, to the Berlin Philharmonic and ask them Okay, I want you to sound more in New York Philharmonic”? No. A great orchestra should sounds like itself.
So that's my job. I need to be comfortable in what the orchestra presents. In this case, there is very concentration on the technical means in the NHK Symphony. They are very concerned about being precise, being accurate, but also interested in the ideas of style that we talked about. So I adjust to their need for the precision, and they adjust to my need for the style of the music to change.

（音楽のスタイルについては指示を出す一方で、オーケストラの音色は尊重するというのは私には理解できません）

昨日、先日の苺を食べに来た鳥を見つけました。ヒヨドリでした。「ピーッ」とかん高く鳴く鳥で、母から「ピーちゃんは冬にやって来る」と教わったのですが、最近1年中いるような気もします。
Oh, they often come to my place to eat something at this time of year.
本当に小鳥ちゃんの鳴き声を身近に聞ける毎日です。
この前は鼻の先をピーちゃんがかすって飛んでいきました。
のどかでした。
でも写真はなかなか撮らせてくれないです。
パリのアメリカ人を思い浮かべながらチラッと読んでみました。
