Atmospheres 李蓋悌 總譜 環球版

Atmosphères》顛覆了西方古典音樂的所有傳統分類。它完全沒有可辨認的旋律，和聲被簡化為飽和半音簇的漂移，脈搏--或任何正常的節奏銜接感--完全不存在。儘管在作品結尾處出現了重奏的幽靈，但所有慣用的結構標誌以及與標準形式的任何關係也都不見了。取而代之的是一連串慢動作的紋理，一種滲入另一種，樂器的音色似乎更像電子音樂的溶解和嗡嗡聲，而不是普通交響樂團的音色。儘管裡蓋蒂的視角具有驚人的原創性，甚至可以說是徹底的原創性，但我們還是可以看出一些微小的影響痕跡--也許是德彪西，也許是理查-施特勞斯，也許是巴托克。(喬治-本雅明）

原文簡介:
Atmosphères famously overturns all traditional categories of Western classical music. There is absolutely no discernible melody, harmony is reduced to the drifting of saturated chromatic clusters, and pulse - or any sense of normal rhythmical articulation - is entirely absent. All habitual structural sign-posts are also missing as is any relationship to standard forms, despite the ghost of a recapitulation towards the work's end. Instead the listener is confronted with a slow-motion succession of textures, one oozing into the other, where the instrumental sonority seems to have more in common with the dissolves and hums of electronic music than that of a normal symphony orchestra. Tiny traces of influence can just be discerned - perhaps Debussy, a little Richard Strauss, certainly Bartok - though Ligeti's vision is of startling, indeed radical, originality. (George Benjamin)
