视频简介

2004年8月15日至16日,年仅17岁的新西兰跨界女高音海莉·薇思特拉在惠灵顿的圣詹姆士剧院(Westpac St. James Theatre)录制了这场后来成为她职业生涯重要里程碑的演唱会《Live From New Zealand》。这场演出于2005年由迪卡唱片公司(Decca)全球发行DVD,并在美国公共电视网(PBS)播出,向世界展示了这位从基督城街头卖唱走出的少女如何蜕变为国际乐坛最闪亮的新星。

演唱会的曲目编排如同一场穿越古典与流行的音乐之旅,大部分歌曲出自她创下英国古典音乐榜历史销量纪录的首张国际专辑《Pure》(《纯》)。从开场的毛利族传统歌曲《Pokarekare Ana》,到改编自维瓦尔第《四季·冬》慢乐章的《River of Dreams》,再到恩雅为《指环王》演唱的《May It Be》,海莉用她那清澈无瑕的天籁之声,游刃有余地驾驭着古典咏叹调、凯尔特民谣、乡村福音乃至摇滚流行等多种风格。特邀嘉宾包括新西兰男中音泰迪·塔胡·罗德斯(Teddy Tahu Rhodes)、海莉的妹妹索菲·薇思特拉,以及Musical Island Boys、Elim Gospel Choir、惠灵顿大教堂合唱团等新西兰本土音乐团体,共同营造出丰富而立体的听觉盛宴。

乐评

这场演唱会被公认为海莉·薇思特拉最具代表性的现场影像记录之一。乐评网站Musical Discoveries盛赞:“这是一张制作精美的DVD,展现了海莉惊人的天赋。她的歌声精致而坚定,音色细腻动人,丝毫不会让人想起她当时只有17岁”。Amazon用户评论则指出:“海莉的音乐跨度从古典、民谣到蓝草、福音和流行,她让这一切听起来都无比悦耳”。

整场演出最令人动容之处在于海莉对音乐纯粹性的坚守与对故乡新西兰的深情礼赞。开场时Te Orowai毛利舞蹈团的哈卡战舞仪式感十足,她以毛利语演唱的《Pokarekare Ana》纯净如泉,奠定了整场演出的神圣基调。当唱到维拉-洛博斯(Villa-Lobos)的《巴西的巴赫风格第五号》中的《Cantilena》时,仅以大提琴伴奏,她那丝绸般顺滑的高音展现出超越年龄的声乐成熟度,被评论界誉为“令人震撼的完美”。而在演绎凯特·布什(Kate Bush)的《呼啸山庄》(Wuthering Heights)时,她又在原作戏剧性的基础上注入了自己清澈透明的质感,展现出令人惊喜的多样性。福音歌曲《Amazing Grace》中,她与Musical Island Boys男声四重奏的合作将整场演出推向高潮,那空灵而充满力量的嗓音仿佛能穿透灵魂。这张DVD还包含了长达29分钟的独家访谈,记录了海莉从街头卖唱到国际巨星的心路历程,成为乐迷了解这位天使之声的珍贵文献。

      这份29分钟的独家访谈太珍贵了,看着她从基督城街头卖唱的小女孩讲到签约迪卡唱片的经历,眼神里全是真诚。她的声音是天赐的,但她的努力和坚持才是真正打动人的地方。

      《Down to the River to Pray》这首福音歌曲,她唱得有种圣洁的光芒。跟Musical Island Boys的合作太和谐了,男声的厚实衬托出她女声的清澈,像河水一样流淌进心里。

    3. RobertDavis RobertDavis

      The range of material is incredible. She moves from Vivaldi to Villa-Lobos to Kate Bush to traditional hymns, and she's completely at home in every genre. That's the mark of a true crossover artist.

      I love how this concert celebrates her New Zealand roots. Opening with the Maori cultural performance and "Pokarekare Ana" was such a powerful statement. She's sharing her homeland with the world through her voice.

    5. 陈志豪 陈志豪

      《Both Sides Now》这首歌太适合她了,Joni Mitchell写的是人生阅尽后的感悟,海莉17岁唱出来,反而有一种未经世事的清澈与纯真,听着让人莫名感动。

      The production value is outstanding for a 2005 concert film. The St. James Theatre provides such an intimate, warm acoustic setting. The backing from the choirs and the Musical Island Boys adds richness without overwhelming her voice.

    7. SarahThompson SarahThompson

      Her version of "Wuthering Heights" surprised me. Kate Bush's original is so theatrical and dramatic, but Hayley transforms it into something ethereal and haunting. She makes it her own without losing the emotional core.

    8. 杨淑芬 杨淑芬

      《May It Be》她唱得比原版多了几分空灵感,恩雅是精灵女王的吟唱,海莉更像是森林里的小仙女在月光下轻轻哼唱。两种味道都好,但她的版本更治愈。

    9. ThomasMiller ThomasMiller

      This concert captures Hayley at her most authentic. Before the massive international fame, before the stadiums, she's just a gifted Kiwi girl singing from the heart. The interview section adds so much depth to understanding her journey.

    10. DanielSmith DanielSmith

      The acoustic version of "Cantilena" with just cello accompaniment is breathtaking. Her high notes float like silk, never forced, always pure. It's a masterclass in vocal restraint and control.

      17岁就有这样的唱功和控制力,简直是天赐的声音。《Pokarekare Ana》一开口,毛利语的发音和旋律融合得那么自然,像是从新西兰的山川湖海里长出来的歌声。
