這是一篇2005年的文章,
http://www.time.com/time/columnist/corliss/article/0,9565,1013198,00.html
Time Mag. 影評人RICHARD CORLISS選出的
五部最佳電影原聲帶裡,就有Rahman的作品,而且是處女作《Roja》。
RICHARD CORLISS在他的文章裡,是這樣描述Rahman的
「WHO IS A.R. RAHMAN?
Fans of Indian movies need no introduction to Rahman. Like Gershwin, Puccini
or Lennon-McCartney, the name stands for melody, quality, energy, instant
hummability — a sound both personal and universal, devouring older forms and
transforming them into something gorgeously new.
His biography is dramatic enough for a Bollywood epic: poor boy loses dad,
hits the road, studies at Oxford, becomes star! He was born in Madras, on
January 6, 1966, with a Bollywood star's soundalike name, A.S. Dileep Kumar.
His musician father died when the boy was nine, and to support his family
this precocious child left home to become a touring tyro musician with tabla
maestro Zakir Hussain. 」
不得了,這篇文章把Rahman的地位,捧得像普契尼、蓋希文,藍濃、麥卡尼........
既有個人特色,又兼顧普世品味,能夠消化傳統音樂,並賦予新的意義.....
文章中他為Rahman抱屈,說印度歌舞電影曾經入圍奧斯卡外語片,Rahman
卻未被提及。
-----------------------------------------
或許這是一個接觸印度電影音樂的好機會,
不過我想,Rahman被描述的這麼神,一定有他的價值與天分
但根據過去的經驗,我想,貧民百萬富翁應該不會是他的登峰造極作品,
只是因為過去沒什麼人注意到寶萊塢電影,乃至寶萊塢的作曲家
畢竟貧民百萬富翁的導演可是一個英國人,Rahman才有機會嶄露頭角
講他的音樂難聽,其實只是 一種如話家常的講法
像是有朋友問說,這張好不好聽,大概回答就是好聽,或不好聽
要嚴肅地去欣賞他,或者是不欣賞他,
可能還是得放在一個時間與文化上的脈絡上來看才會比較公平
其我還是比較希望有誰能夠來教我欣賞Rahman
而不是光會說,「這哪會難聽?」或「目光如豆」........
目前我找不到Roja原聲帶哪裡有在賣。有人有情報嗎?
想聽的請愛用台泥牌產品
