对于声乐表演者而言,其演唱的根本目的不是炫耀技巧和孤芳自赏,而是要把作品蕴含的真、善、美传达给广大的听众,离开了听众再好的作品和表演都会失去意义。正如美国作曲家艾伦科普兰所说:“既然听众的联合反应最能深刻地影响和演绎艺术,说音乐的未来是掌握在听众手里,也许是有道理的。”①纵观整个声乐表演过程,听众作为审美主体对象,不仅是声乐表演活动的接受者,也是参与者和创造者。而正是有了听众的参与、创造和接受,声乐作品才得以实现其真正的艺术价值。从这个意义上来说,真正称职的声乐演唱者绝不应是一味炫技和自以为是的人,在他(她)的心中必定时时刻刻装着听众。 For vocalists, the fundamental purpose of their performance is not to show off their skills or to show their self-righteousness, but to convey the truth, goodness and beauty contained in the work to the general audience. Without good works and performances, the audience will lose their meaning. As the American composer Ellen Copland said: “Since the joint reaction of the audience can profoundly influence and deduce the art, it is probably reasonable to say that the future of music is in the hands of the audience.” Vocal performance process, the audience as the subject of aesthetic subjects, not only the vocal performance of the recipient, but also participants and creators. And it is with the audience’s participation, creation and acceptance, vocal music works can achieve its true artistic value. In this sense, the truly competent vocal singer must not blindly show their skills and self-righteous people in his (her) heart must always be filled with listeners.
