录音点评：这首实况录音作品录制于北京音乐厅，实况录音作为录音艺术中的一个门类，可以说最易也最难，“易”在于只要遵循标准拾音制式与必要乐器的补点话筒即可基本完成录制，“难”在于绝大多数的实况同期录制受到乐队自然摆位、声场空间与演奏等因素的限制而难于进行录音中的低维度二次音响创作且听感很难超越现场。有别于分期录音中录音师可以一次次的重复与逐步优化录制结果，实况同期录音给予录音师与演奏家的机会只有一次，正如《人类的群星闪耀时》所说“最有生命力的成功之作往往只产生在难得而又短暂的灵感勃发时刻”，正是这种灵感火花的交织与碰撞，带来了远大于工业流水线录音作品的精彩与感动。如何将瞬间变为永恒，如何让再现变为活灵活现甚至超越现场的听感效果，这些都是对录音师功力的考验。这首由景焕指挥中国爱乐乐团演绎罗季翁·谢德林改编比才的《卡门组曲》正是给出答案的一首精彩实况录音作品，精彩的演绎与清晰的定位和质感让我们不仅身临其境，更加“看到了”一个迷人的“卡门”。

Recording Comments: This live recording was conducted in the Beijing Concert Hall. As a genre of the recording art, live recording can be both easy and complicated. As long as the recording is completed following the standard pickup pattern with gap filling microphone of all necessary instruments, it can be conducted easily. Meanwhile, since the quality of live recording is conditioned by factors including the natural placement of the orchestra, space of the sound field and the actual performance of the orchestra, the low-dimensional secondary acoustic creation of the recording is difficult to handle and the sound effect is weaker than that of the live performance. Unlike recording by stages where recordists have the chance to record repeatedly and gradually optimize the recording effect, live recording gives the recordists and the performing artists one chance only. 

录音点评：“非琴不是筝，初闻满座惊”这就是阮在发烧音响上应具有的感受与表达。录音作为音乐艺术的表现方式，不仅在于展现与还原，更高级的奥义又在对意境与心境的传递。这首《酒狂》中我们可以感受到微醺状态下的飘渺，这就是音响艺术的魅力所在。

Recording Comments: Although Ruan is neither Gu Qin nor Chinese zither, it does have a time-stopping timbre, which is its due presence and effect within audiophile. As one of the manifestation patterns of musical art, the essence of recording not only lie in revealing and restoring the effect of the original sound, but also in expressing the artistic conception and state of mind of the music. In Liquormania，listeners can sense the misty state of mind of a tipsy drinker, which indicates the glamor of audio arts.

录音点评：如果说东方打击乐的精髓在于传递“精、气、神”，那么被发烧友熟知的《老虎磨牙》无疑带给了我们新鲜刺激的音响感受。而这一首静场录制的《打击随想》可以说由西方打击乐呈现出了另一副《老虎磨牙》的场面，通过近百种打击乐器所展现的炫彩酣畅的音响画面，可以诠释西方美学对打击乐能量与技巧的理念。

Recording Comments: If the quintessence of Asian percussion music are expressing one’s soul, spirit and energy, A Teeth-Grinding Tiger known by percussion music fanciers has no doubt presented them exciting new sensations. However, Percussion Imagination recorded in a static acoustic environment presents a rather different percussion scene of western style. With hundreds of percussion instruments giving a performance with ease and verve, it explains how western aesthetics interprets the energy and skills of percussion music.

录音点评：这是达人十年前的一段录音，“抚琴而歌者，古即有之”，作为中华文明最古老的乐器之一，古琴距今已有四千多年的历史，“歌”更是人类最为基础的音乐表现形式。这首《越人歌》由琴与歌二者结合，古琴丝弦的震颤，泛音的共鸣与女中音的浅吟低唱交融在一起，营造出一番超越时空的气韵意境。

Recording Comments: This recording was completed by DR Classics ten years ago. As one of the oldest musical instruments of China, Gu Qin, a seven-stringed plucked instrument, has a history of over four thousand years. It was traditionally played with singing which is the most fundamental manifestation patterns of music. Song of a Boater from Yue combines both Gu Qin playing and singing where an artistic conception beyond time and space was created by the chattering silk stings of Gu Qin, the resonance of overtones and the sprechstimme of the mezzo-soprano.

录音点评：这段录音是九年前在国家大剧院录制亚洲首张BD多声道蓝光唱片《一点思念》时收录的一段未发表的琵琶独奏小品。说到琵琶，首先在我印象中出现的画面就是敦煌壁画《西方净土变》中“反弹琵琶”的部分，亦或“犹抱琵琶半遮面”的词句。这段录音中琵琶的音响呈现出一种“半遮面”的诱惑，“大珠小珠落玉盘”的轮指体现出的晶莹剔透与速度感，犹如夏日暴雨中水珠飞落在树叶上的微观景象。

Recording Comments: This recording was an unpublished Pipa solo collected from the Melody of Chinese World Music, the first BD multichannel Blu-ray record produced in the National Center for Performing Arts nine years ago. Speaking of Pipa, its first impression left to me was the ‘playing Pipa on the back’ scene on the Western Pure Land Illustration, one of Dunhuang’s many frescoes, or a veiled sense of feeling. The sound of Pipa within this recording also presents a veiled sensation. The Pipa’s finger rotation reminds people of the glittering and translucent sound of pearls dropping on a jade plate as well as the imagination of an intense summer rainstorm dropping on leaves.

录音点评：低音提琴基本是乐器中音域最低的乐器，但是这段音乐的演绎可能会让你对笨拙低沉的低音提琴改变看法，不要被开篇夸张的超低频量感所惊讶，中段贝斯呈现出稳重跳跃的音乐舞步会让你感觉精彩非凡。极强的持续低音能衡量你的喇叭与声场是否可以耐受，考验你的系统。

Recording Comments: Double basses have the lowest range among all musical instruments. However, the interpretation of this piece of music may change your stereotype on double basses’ low and deep timbre. Please do not be intimidated by the ultra-low frequencies at the openings as the steady yet bouncing dancing movement presented by basses in the middle of the recording will astonish you. The continuously strong bass could test if your audio player and sound field could stand its low pitch and in turn, test your auditory system.

录音点评：轻松明快的一首民乐小品。琵琶、阮、古筝、二胡这几件最基础的民乐乐器勾画出的市井烟火，通过高质量同期录音雕琢刻画出的质感与位置展现出市集中惟妙惟肖的众生像，体会“大隐隐于市”的状态。

Recording Comments: This is a relaxing and vibrant folk music performed by traditional Chinese instruments including Pipa, Ruan, Chinese Zither and Erhu. As the most fundamental instruments in China, these instruments portray the image of a Chinese marketplace. Through the timbre and placement brought by the high-quality locality-recording, this piece of work depicts a vivid vision of all living creatures in the marketplace and represents us the philosophy that real hermits live in the bustling place.

录音点评：HIFI即High-Fidelity高保真，有别于其他音响的展现，高保真录音所传递出的信息可以感受到更多的细节与画面，力求通过音响展现出演绎者的情绪与冲动。正所谓“师出名门”“子承父业”，这首《爱的罗曼史》由中国古典吉他奠基人陈志教授的女儿陈佳迎演绎。在音响中让我们一同感受这份年轻带来的清爽纯净与音乐活力。

Recording Comments: HIFI stands for high-fidelity. Unlike other ways of presentations by other acoustics, HIFI recording sends more details and images and strives to express the emotion and impulsion of the performers through acoustics. The recording of Romance de Amor is performed by Ms. Chen Jiaying, the daughter of the China’s classic guitar fondinto Prof. Chen Zhi. With the overtone of inheritance, let us feel the refreshing and energetic romance presented by musicians of the younger generations.

录音点评：小提琴作为泛音最为丰富的乐器一直是发烧音响与录音技巧的试金石。为什么在交响乐协奏曲中独奏家一人的音色会盖过整个弦乐齐奏呢，决定因素绝不是音量，更多在于泛音的丰沛。为什么音乐厅大门外你仍然可以听到小提琴独奏传来的声音呢，这就是名琴的优势——经过岁月的沉淀，泛音能量得以激发，因此距离远却能听的细腻清晰。这首作品就展现出这样的听感，小提琴弓弦之间的摩擦泛音充足光泽，正是这首录音作品所着力打造的音响特点。

Recording Comments: As the instrument that boast the most abundant overtones, violins have always been seen as the touchstone for audiophile and recording skills. The fact that the timbre of the violin can often overshadow that of the entire orchestra is decided by the profusion of the violin’s overtones instead of its volumes. The reason why the violin solo can still be heard outside the concert chamber lies in the violins’ superb qualities. With the sediment of time, the energy of the overtones is excited, resulting in a smooth and clear timbre that can be heard from a great distance, which is what this recording showcases. The overtones produced by the violin bowstrings are abundant and lustrous, which is the desired acoustic features the recording strives for.

录音点评：这是一首录制于北京中山公园音乐堂的同期实况录音。所谓录音的真谛，技术与艺术的不懈进步与追求最后都归结为“情感”二字。盲人钢琴家马斯顿生活在黑暗的世界之中，对音乐的表达却充满光明，低男中音歌唱家沈洋的演唱从容、至情至深，在聆听中带我们飞向月球。

Recording Comments: This is a live recording conducted in the Forbidden City Concert Hall, Beijing. The essence of recording originates from the expression of emotion as well as the unremitting pursue of technology and arts. For example, though Ward Marston the blind pianist lives in darkness, his music is full of brightness; yet Mr. SHEN Yang the baritone has an unhurried and soulful singing style, his voice can fly us to the moon.
