第一季 - 马勒第一交响曲

伟大的作曲家古斯塔夫·马勒曾说，交响乐必须如同世界一般。

The great composer Gustav Mahler said that a symphony must be like the world.

它必须包容万物。

It must embrace everything.

他希望自己的作品能成为完整的世界，包含他在现实世界中观察到的各种矛盾元素。

He wants his pieces to be whole worlds containing all manner of contradictory elements that he observes in the actual world.

这些矛盾最终向我们揭示了关于世界和我们自身的深刻真理。

These contradictions ultimately show us profound truths about the world and about ourselves.

当你聆听这些交响乐时，那简直是一段不可思议的发现之旅，是对各种思想的开放接纳。

When you look at the symphonies, it's just an incredible journey of discovery and of openness to ideas.

而聆听马勒的交响乐时，你听到的是最高水平的音乐艺术造诣。

And when listening to a Mahler symphony, you're listening to musical craftsmanship on the highest level.

演奏马勒的任何交响乐都必须全神贯注，因为这是交响乐创作中最困难也最完美的典范，没有之一。

It is impossible to play any Mahler symphony without really concentrating because it is the most difficult and the finest example of symphonic writing, full stop.

其他一切与之相比都黯然失色。

Everything else pales into insignificance.

古斯塔夫·马勒是古典音乐的泰斗之一。

Gustav Mahler is one of the titans of classical music.

他出生于1860年，生前最著名的是作为超级明星指挥家，领导着欧美各地的歌剧和交响乐团。

Born in 1860, he was best known during his lifetime as a superstar conductor who led operas and symphony orchestras in Europe and America.

直到他1911年去世约五十年后，马勒自己的交响乐和歌曲才真正获得重视。

Only later, a good fifty years after his death in 1911, did Mahler's own symphonies and songs come to prominence.
