ล่าสุดเมื่อวานมีบทความใน Guardian พูดคุยกับ Rattle น่าสนใจดีครับ บางอย่างผมไม่ทราบมาก่อน เช่น ตอนที่เป็น conductor แล้ว เขาไปลงเรียน Literature ในมหาวิทยาลัยเพิ่มเติมด้วย
ศิลปะล้วนส่องทางให้แก่กัน..
So now we are free to move on to other things, such as the self-evident but often overlooked fact that the world's greatest conductors harbour other passions beyond music. Many people were surprised that Simon Rattle took a year 'out' to study English literature at St Anne's College, Oxford in 1980/1. But why should they have been? 'I was of that generation, the last generation, where if people did well, they skipped classes, they moved forward a year,' says Rattle. 'That happened to me twice, so I finished my A-levels when I was 16 and wanted to go to university but they wouldn't have me at 16, completely correctly. So I went to the Royal Academy of Music, thank God.
'In my mid-twenties, I was with a conducting career, but I had never been to university and I wanted to. There were things I wanted to study in depth. I also wanted to see if I could survive without music. There were tremendous hunger pangs, but it was interesting how anything else of the same specific gravity could fill that. It was wonderful for me to know that I could be just as moved and uplifted by Andrew Marvell or Ulysses as I could be by music. And, of course, when I came back to the music there was a quality and an intensity that you get when a painting is well restored.'
Books did not vanish from the shelves when Rattle returned to music. 'Right at the moment, I'm reading this extraordinary newish translation of Don Quixote and it is more than a delight. It suddenly struck me: it is the same kind of time as Monteverdi - they were more or less contemporaries. Monteverdi is inventing opera and Cervantes invents the novel. It's there, complete: everything you would ever need in a novel, particularly the irony of the tone which wasn't going to be seen again until the 19th century.'
