张含娜,1982年生于韩国,是当今世界屈指可数的大提琴演奏奇才,也是目前EMI旗下年龄最小的专属艺术家。
她3岁开始学钢琴。6岁的一天,她突然听到了由Jacqueline du Pre 演奏的"Elga Cello Concerto" ,颇为感动和崇拜,按捺不住,毅然决定转而投入了大提琴的怀抱。
11岁的时候,张含娜参加了the Rostropovich International Cello Contest,她的演奏绝对震惊了全场。这次除了获得大奖外,音乐大师 Rostropovich 对张含娜的评语是 "Her scale of music was beyond imagination.”
此外,他还亲口对她说了以下的话:
"Your cello is small, but you have shown your genius to the full.
You have created a sensation of a global scale. It would be a sin to teach such a talented child like Han-na in an incorrect way."
除了大提琴,laptop computer 是她第二宝贵的财富。她开玩笑说:“因为我没有男朋友。(?)”
没有思想而机械的演奏是没有意义的。
张含娜逐渐认识到了这一点,并且受到 Mstislav Rostropovich, Mischa Maisky, Giuseppe Sinopoli and Lorin Maazel等大师的关爱教导 - 如何才能成为一个音乐家。于是,她在哈佛主修了哲学,并且成了个书虫,如饥似渴地利用一切时间吞噬着她所需要的知识。
张含娜还有一个特别的爱好,游览博物馆。
在舞台上,张含娜完全是音乐的“俘虏”;除了入场出场,她不看观众。她的演奏表情,也总有些怪诞(嘿,绝对是个特点/亮点)。她从来不看自己的录像,只是反复地听录音,她担心会太在意自己下一次表露的表情。
才10多年的音乐生涯,张含娜已经获得了很多世界音乐大奖.她的4个音乐专辑更是赢得了大满贯.
尽管界内公认张含娜的音乐成熟性和天才和成功,汉娜说,她表达音乐还是不够好.她仍然在探索创造她自己的理念的声音.
如今,含娜不再是那个满脸欢笑,胖乎乎的儿童天才,她已经成为一个天才的音乐家和一个成熟的女子,而且不仅限于音乐的小世界;她正不断努力丰富她对人生的理解.
