专辑介绍:
The English Patient/英伦情人
Music Composed By Gabriel Yared
1996 Fantasy Records
<英伦情人>的配乐有很诗意的影像詮释力,音乐的本身也有不错的成绩,但基本上,它的原声带从来都不在我个人喜爱的原声带之列,对我个人来说,在一些合辑或选集中听这部配乐的选曲或组曲,要比听这张原声带本身有趣的多(不过合辑或选辑的缺点便是当中会少了Marta的演出),当然,这是由於一些个人欣赏音乐的喜好与习惯使然.
这张原声带中我个人最不习惯的,大概是当中穿插的几首当代爵士音乐,基本上这些音乐衬托出一份怀旧的二次大战背景,同时也有角色的联想性(男主角没事喜欢哼这些歌),当中亦不乏十分经典的名作,不过原声带的编辑方式令我感到很突兀,这些音乐其实和其他的音乐性质差异很大,我不觉得将他们打散”穿插”在其中是个好主意,通常这些曲子出现都会对我造成打断情绪的错愕,我几乎会反射性的将它们跳过(那时我就会想到我应该买一台可以遥控的音响),我一方面不觉得收录这些作品对这张原声带的整体风格有帮助,若要收录我也不认为应该像这样,从截然不同的音乐氛围中”冒”出来.
Gabriel Yared的原著音乐基本上由三个主题旋律构成,不过若要谈这三个作品,原则上还是从它们的”前身”,匈牙利民谣女歌手Marta,与德国的巴洛克音乐之父巴哈谈起.导演Minghella本身即有乐团出身的背景,因此对电影中的音乐元素格外讲究,除了将Gabriel Yared视作邀约配乐的第一人选之外,Minghella在写剧本时,也几乎确认了他所需要的音乐,其中之一,就是匈牙利女歌手Marta的民谣吟唱,Minghella寻找一种富有地域特色与悠远质感的音色,能符合他对沙漠,国界,爱情与宿命的感受,这些也正是他在电影中一再呈现的课题,於是Marta的民谣吟唱成为Minghella心中的最佳指引,Minghella将这份风格遥远的民族色彩,视作电影音乐的基础,Minghella认为Marta的作品听起来很阿拉伯,他将这些音乐使用在北非沙漠的场景中,但实际上它们却来自匈牙利,就像”English Patient”实际上是匈牙利人,Minghella说:”国界是电影中一再涉及的题材”,”电影中许多事都不像表面你所以为的那样”.另一项音乐元素,是巴哈的作品Aria from The Goldberg Variation,一首优雅沈静的巴洛克钢琴作品,之所以选择这首作品,除了因为故事有一半的篇幅发生在义大利古老的巴洛克修道院,同时也因为这是Minghella个人最喜爱的音乐作品,Minghella甚至在电影中安排Hana(茱莉叶毕若许)在修道院中弹奏它.Minghella希望Gabriel Yared的音乐风格,就以这两样素材为表现的基础,因此,Gabriel Yared谱写了如我们所见的这三首主题.
当中Convento Di Sant' Anna是我个人最喜爱的主题,这首作品感觉上是由巴哈的The Goldberg Variation衍生而来,在钢琴的表现上也特意使用了一些巴洛克风格的音乐语言,它时常用来描写Hana这个角色,如Hana在壁画间飞舞的那一幕戏(我个人最喜爱的一幕戏),旋律十分优美动听,气质也相当典雅详和,<英伦情人>在配乐上的整体音色实际上是有些黑暗的,而这个旋律则带来了阳光,温暖而喜悦,一如Hana这个角色的单纯与天真,与修道院古老平静的气息,Track 15是这个主题最完整的一段演出,是一首独立的钢琴演奏曲,整首钢琴独奏长达九分鐘,感觉很古典雅致,不过有些太冗长了,不太能感受到这种长度的必要性,而其他几段採絃乐编曲的表现,如I'll Always Go Back To That Church,Let Me Come In!,都呈现了相当优美细腻的质感.
男女主角Almasy与Katharine的背德与爱情,是电影中的故事主线,在配乐上自然也是表现的重心,Gabriel Yared的两个Love Theme,以及在配乐中的表现手法,原声带中文字介绍的作者Derk Richardson有十分贴切的形容:”一种特异非凡,流转不定的格调,任由主题去发展演绎,交织纠缠,分解隐没”.Gabriel Yared呈现了一种飘忽的流动性,任由主题淡入淡出,在影像与电影情绪的捕捉上,Gabriel Yared是十分成功的,不过有时这些音乐独立在故事或影像外时,它的情感与艺术性并不那么完整,我之所以会有这种想法,原因之一是因为其实我早在知道这个故事,或看过这部电影之前,就听过当中一两段主题了,但当时我觉得这些作品本身很普通,只是很寻常的浪漫絃乐,以Rupert Bear这个Love Theme为例,最初听这个作品时我甚至不觉得它是完整的,觉得好像只是一段间奏或前奏曲,而且以音乐本身来说,也没有给我带来很明显的情绪悸动.而The English Patient这个主题旋律,给我的感觉则比较特殊,它算是音乐上Main Theme,同时也是Gabriel Yared对Minghella音乐概念的具体实现,一种介於北非(亦或是匈牙利,中东)的地域色彩,与欧洲管絃气息的混合风格,质感十分别致,而且以一首Love Theme来说,它在唯美温柔中,反而透露著悲伤与黑暗,但其实我个人并不介意一首Love Theme是这样的,这样的风格反而显得深邃,具有一种别具韵味的神祕感.
最后,我们还是再回到<英伦情人>的音乐源头,Marta与巴哈身上来.在原声带中收录了巴哈The Goldberg Variation的片段(Track 25.),除了主题旋律之一Convento Di Sant' Anna是由这首曲子衍生而来,其实在整部配乐中,特别是钢琴的表现上,都以巴哈的这首作品为基本风格,呈现一种典雅的单纯与详和.而Marta也有几首作品收录在原声带中,其中是Szerelem,Szerelem-Love,Love,这首作品是导演Minghella的灵感来源,特别值得一提的是在配乐的最后一段音乐,As Far As Florence与Lullaby For Katharine,Gabriel Yared的音乐与Marta吟唱有十分动人的结合,悲伤悠远的Love Theme,修道院中的纯真详和,与Marta有如悲泣般的沈吟,为故事所有支线的匯集,呈现了充满感情与情绪衝击力的刻划,是一段非常出色动人的结尾乐章.
我想以我个人来说,这部配乐在电影与故事裏,要比它在电影或故事以外动人的多,只是我最初是在电影以外遇上它的,那种第一印象未必正确,但恐怕还是很深刻的,至少,以一部电影配乐应有的功能与意义来说,它的成功倒是不可否认的.

There are only two films that I have sat down to watch, and have become completely mesmerised by the soundtrack; "Lord of the Rings", and "The English Patient."
"The English Patient" soundtrack is beautiful. It begins like the beginning of the film, with some Arabic sounding music, something I'm usually not a particular fan of, but this is just beautiful. It comes across classical, only with someone singing. As much of the film takes place in the desert, the style is appropriate.
The film takes place in the 1930s - 1937, if my memory serves. Therefore, some songs are from that era, with artists such as Fred Astaire and Benny Goodman. The songs are in the film - Count Alamsy (our lead male character, played by actor Ralph Fiennes of 'Schindlers List', 'The Reader', 'Harry Potter', 'The End of the Affair', 'Red Dragon', etc.) is constantly singing, and it is something of a running joke in the film. One would think that the era would not mix with the Arabic music, but it does. Perfectly.
As a writer, I like to listen to this soundtrack as I write. It puts me in a mood like few CDs can. However, I have also listened to this soundtrack as I woke up, went to sleep, did the dishes, played a video game, and scrubbed floors - my ears had absolutely no objection.
The soundtrack is worth a listen, even if you cannot sit through the entire film (as it is rather long). Chances are, you will end up like me before I owned the soundtrack, and put the film in as background music, just so you can hear the lovely title song.
