[BBC Documentary] The Experience of Russian Virgin in Russian Music Festival

Historian Lev Ruerye once said: Europe is made of stone, while Russia is made of wood? What kind of message does this convey? Perhaps, after watching the Russian Music Festival in the BBC documentary, you will have a deep understanding! The following are the viewing notes of the first episode of the BBC documentary "Russian Music Festival" that I want to share with you. I hope you like it!

Historian Lev Ruhr thinks? Europe is made of stone, and Russia is made of wood? So Europe has developed into a country with the city-state as the core, and Russia is destined to be an agricultural society based on the countryside. The countryside is the real soul of Russia, not the rapid industrialization process in the 20th century. Farming knowledge, which comes from ancestors and is passed down from mouth to mouth, continues the lifeblood of rural culture, so they should die here and abide by the teachings of their ancestors. Therefore, the autocratic model should adapt to agricultural society, collective farms and collective labor, and this system is also suitable for all agricultural countries. In the documentary All Russia, Ruere explained the political system of the Soviet Union from the perspective of agricultural civilization.

Facing the vast territory, how can we fully realize autocracy? In The Ark of Russia, Sokonov roamed the history of the museum and came to the conclusion that Russia is too big, and federalism is more suitable for it than republicanism. ?

Recognizing federalism also recognizes cultural diversity, which makes the country and people complicated. For this, the romantic poet Qiu Chifu thinks? Can't understand Russia with normal thinking, the only way is to believe it? . Director mikhalkov is also convinced of this. He expressed the Russian extreme and complexity through the role of Julia Ormond in The Barber of Siberia. Julia Ormond finally couldn't understand it and her own Figaro Russian lover, so she had to return to the United States.

Russian music, as the external representation of cultural blood, naturally continues the rural scene under the agricultural civilization, so Russian classical music is different from the whole Europe that comes from glinka. It is not as neat as stones and bricks, but a game of firewood burning. If there was copyright at that time, and there were more than four plagiarism disputes, then five people in Powerful Group were infringers, Balakirev and Tchaikovsky copied Little Birch by relay, and the mastermind glinka was as sincere as Jing M Guo? Talk big? :? Folk songs are the authors of music, and composers just collect and sort them out. ? At the beginning of the 20th century, Stravinsky integrated folk music into grotesque modernist symphonies, and tuned country music to the maximum through Sacrifice to Spring and petrushka.

With the revolution coming one after another, the national culture replaced the national culture, and the rest of the national music followed. Romantics go abroad, stay or become autocratic objects, or add appropriate lubricants to the operation of big machines. A few people, such as Shostakovich and Vysoski, survived clumsily and intelligently, and were praised by people in an imaginative way: they are brave fighters. What was the final blow of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony? Forced happiness? Resist.

Most of the Russian plots of the older generation of China people may come from their national culture, not their national culture, which may be one of the reasons why China people are fond of Russians, but they can't get the same return. We know nothing about Russian farmers behind vodka and potatoes. We only know Vasily, a model worker in Tyumen Oilfield and a defender of Lenin. We sang Three Rickshaws, Harbour and Katyusha, but we haven't heard herold Circle Dance. Farmers and circle dancing are the real Russians, and they are Russians under the national culture. Vassili and the man with the camera are both Soviets in the process of industrialization and under the national culture. The history of Russia in the 20th century, that is, the history of urbanization, turned 87% of the peasants into 20% in 90 years, put an end to the school of national classical music that originated in rural areas, and brought planes, tanks, artillery concentration camps and westerners who were aiming to spend 45 years in panic.

But as a root, the country always has that strong centripetal force, so the society has changed and the music seems to be tuned back. Unlike Stravinsky's predecessor, who brought gorgeous but muddy noise to the country minor into the symphony orchestra, Martynov asked the Pokovsky Orchestra to adopt simple violins and duets, thus snowballing the country minor into modern works. Has a new powerful group emerged?
