1978年1月的一个寒风刺骨、冰天雪地的早晨,有1000多人聚集在纽约卡内基音乐厅外,等候着售票处开门售票。其中有些人已在那里等了好几个小时,有些人带着睡袋和露营取暖炉头天晚上就来排队了。一位从布鲁克林来的妇女说:“我这辈子真是一直盼着能听一次他的演奏。”如此引人注目的人物是一位74岁的钢琴演奏家,一个备受推崇又颇有争议的人,甚至连他本人都曾这样说:“我都有点害怕我自己了。”当86岁高龄的弗拉基米尔·霍罗维茨于去年11月逝世时,世人都觉得这是个无法弥补的损失。历时200年的音乐画上了一个休止符。他那令人眼花缭乱的精湛技艺是19世纪的集中体现,而他的钢琴演奏雄踞20世纪乐坛的统治地位。
In a frigid, ice-cold morning in January 1978, more than 1,000 people gathered outside New York’s Carnegie Hall and awaited the opening of ticketing outlets. Some of them have been waiting there for hours, with some lining up with sleeping bags and camping stoves the night before. A woman from Brooklyn said: “I’ve been really looking forward to hearing his performance in my life.” The striking figure is a 74-year-old pianist, a highly respected and controversial , Even he himself said: “I was a bit scared of myself.” When the 86-year-old Vladimir Horowitz died in November last year, the rest of the world found it irreplaceable Loss. Over 200 years of music painted a rest. His dazzling craftsmanship was the epitome of the 19th century, and his piano performance dominates the music scene of the twentieth century.
