    聆听

    1. Natasha Marsh - Si Un Jour

     第一次听Natasha的歌,是在Virgin的试听架上。专辑中的第一首歌就是这首伤感的法国歌曲Si Un Jour 。后来在网上找了好久她的歌,才发现这个从小就学习古典音乐的英国歌手并不是那么的出名。可我非常喜欢她的声线,听了很舒服。这首Si Un Jour 是法国电影 "Jean de Florette" 中的一段旋律。 因为Natasha 很喜欢这个电影,就把这段旋律作为她专辑中的第一首歌

    Si Un Jour

                   

    有一天整理电脑里的音乐,才发现自己喜欢的歌手风格都太像了,以至于这些歌手甚至会唱同一首歌。 摘选了几首由不同歌手演绎的老歌放在下面。

    2.Autumn Leaves 《秋叶》

    这首《Autumn Leaves(秋叶)》是作曲家Joseph Kosma(1905, Born Budapest, Hungary - Died 1969, Paris, France)在1945年于法国所创作的香颂。 因其旋律歌词意境幽美而被广泛流传,众多爵士乐手争相在自己的音乐会和录音专辑里重新演绎它,时至今日,这首传世之作《Autumn Leaves秋叶》早已成为爵士乐的标准曲目。

    下面的两个版本,分别是Natasha Marsh 和我最爱的Nana Mouskouri 演绎的。个人还是比较喜欢Nana的那个版本。

    Autumn Leaves 秋叶

    The falling leaves drift by my window
    当那落叶飘过我的窗户,
    The falling leaves of red and gold
    金红色的树叶令我想起,
    I see your lips, the summer kisses
    你的嘴唇和夏日的热吻,
    The sunburned hand that I used to hold
    还有我握过的滚烫的手。
    Since you went away the days grow long
    因为你走了,日子变得如此漫长,
    And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
    而我又将听到那古老的冬日的歌,
    But I miss you most of all, my darling
    我是多么地思念着你,我亲爱的,
    When autumn leaves start to fall
    在这秋叶纷纷落下的季节。
    Since you went away the days grow long
    因为你走了,日子变得如此漫长,

    And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
    而我又将听到那古老的冬日的歌,
    But I miss you most of all, my darling
    我是多么地思念着你,我亲爱的,
    When autumn leaves start to fall
    在这秋叶纷纷落下的季节
    I’m missing you most of all, my darling
    我正思念着你那,亲爱的,
    When autumn leaves start to fall
    在这秋叶纷纷落下的季节

    3.Morning Has Broken 《破晓》

    是一首根据基督教颂歌改变的歌曲。自从1972年被Cat Stevens成功翻唱之后,变得家喻户晓。后来又有许多歌手翻唱过。下面是Nana Mouskouri 和Lauren Waterworth 翻唱的版本。Lauren Waterworth 是英国的歌手,14岁就在英国的’超女‘比赛中获胜,至今虽然没有大红大紫,但也一直小有名气。

    我喜欢在早晨上班的路上听这首《破晓》,感觉天空一下明朗好多, 一天都有好心情。

     Morning Has Broken ( by Nana Mouskouri)

             

    Morning Has Broken

    morning has broken like the first morning
    blackbird has spoken like the first bird
    praise for the singing; praise for the morning
    praise for them springing fresh from the world

    sweet the rains new fall sunlit from heaven
    like the first dew fall on the first grass
    praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
    sprung in completeness where his feet pass

    mine is the sunlight. mine is the morning
    born of the one light Eden saw play
    praise with elation, praise every morning
    God's re-creation of the new day

    4.Smile

    这两个版本分别由Nana和男歌手 Russell Watson 演绎的。 Russell Watson是Decca唱片公司的新宠,内定的Andrea Bocelli的接班人。在经历了从青蛙王子到白马王子的飞跃之后,现在的Russell可以非常自然的将古典音乐用圆润,平易近人的方式表现出来。 比较NaNa和Russell的两个版本, 我更喜欢Russell。
