Andrea Bocelli
SHINE AND POPOTY ANDREA BOCELLI
Kungase kube yizwi elidume kakhulu okwamanje, kodwa abanye abantu sebeqala ukusho ukuthi uyalihlukumeza. Omunye umgxeki waseMelika wazibuza, “Kungani kufanele ngikhokhe amaRandi angu-500 ukuze ngithenge ithikithi?”
Lokhu kufana nokuhola uprofesa ngeviki kanye nokulingana no-Vladimir Horowitz (ungqondongqondo wangempela!) Wathola ikhonsathi eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule. Lokho kungaphezu kwentengo yamaBeatles lapho efika eManhattan.
Izwi elivusa lezi zingxoxo ngelika-Andrea Bocelli, i-tenor eyimpumputhe futhi isenzakalo sangempela se-opera yasesigodini esikhulu emhlabeni wonke, "i-ap-after Pavarotti", "emva kwePavarotti", njengoba omagazini abakhethekile besho. Lona ukuphela komculi okwazile ukuhlanganisa ndawonye umculo we-pop ne-opera: “Ucula izingoma ezifana ne-opera ne-opera njengezingoma.” Kungase kuzwakale kuyinhlamba, kodwa umphumela uhluke kakhulu - inani elikhulu labalandeli abakhonzayo. Futhi phakathi kwabo akukhona nje intsha egqoke izikibha ezishwabene, kodwa futhi nemigqa engapheli yosomabhizinisi besifazane kanye namakhosikazi asekhaya kanye nabasebenzi abanganelisekile nabaphathi abagqoke amajakhethi anamabele amabili agibela umgwaqo ohamba ngaphansi nekhompuyutha ephathekayo emathangeni abo kanye ne-CD ye-Bocelli umdlali. I-Wall Street ifanelana kahle ne-La bohème. Ama-CD ayizigidi ezingamashumi amabili nane adayiswa emazwenikazi amahlanu awayona ihlaya ngisho nakumuntu ojwayele ukubala ngezigidigidi zamarandi.
Wonke umuntu uthanda isiNtaliyane, ozwi lakhe likwazi ukuxuba i-melodrama nengoma evela eSan Remo. EJalimane, izwe elayithola ngo-1996, ihlezi isemashadini. E-US, uyinto yehlelo: kukhona okuthile okungumuntu noma okungumuntu kakhulu ngaye okuvumelanisa umama wekhaya nohlelo "lwezinkanyezi", kusukela kuSteven Spielberg noKevin Costner kuya kunkosikazi wephini likamongameli. UMongameli uBill Clinton, "Bill the Saxophone" owazi ngekhanda umculo wefilimu "Kansas City", uzibiza phakathi kwabathandi beBocelli. Futhi wayefisa ukuthi uBocelli acule eWhite House nasemhlanganweni wamaDemocrats. Manje uPapa Wojtyła usengenelele. UBaba Ongcwele usanda kwamukela u-Bocelli endaweni ahlala kuyo ehlobo, uCastel Gandolfo, ezomuzwa ecula iculo leJubilee lika-2000. Futhi wakhulula lelihubo ekukhanyeni ngesibusiso.
Lesi sivumelwano esijwayelekile mayelana noBocelli siyasolisa ngandlela thize, futhi ngezikhathi ezithile omunye umgxeki uzama ukuthola ububanzi beqiniso balesi simo, ikakhulukazi njengoba u-Bocelli enqume ukubekela inselele isiteji se-opera futhi abe i-tenor yangempela. Ngokuvamile, kusukela lapho ephonsa eceleni imaskhi lapho afihla khona izifiso zakhe zangempela: hhayi nje umculi onezwi elihle, kodwa i-tenor yangempela evela ezweni labaqashi. Ngonyaka odlule, lapho eqala ukudlala eCagliari njengoRudolf eLa bohème, abagxeki abazange bamzwele: “Ukuphefumula kanzima, amagama aphansi, amanothi aphezulu anamahloni.” Hard, kodwa fair. Kwenzeka okufanayo ehlobo lapho uBocelli enza i-debut yakhe e-Arena di Verona. Kwakuyi-backflip ephindwe kathathu. Amazwana amaningi abhuqayo? Leyo evezwe uFrancesco Colombo emakhasini ephephandaba elithi “Corriere della sera”: “I-Solfeggio iyindaba yokuzikhethela, iphimbo elomuntu siqu, indlela yokugcizelela isuka emkhakheni kaPavarotti othi “Ngingathanda, kodwa angikwazi” t.” Izithameli zaxebula izintende zezandla. U-Bocelli waphakamisa ihlombe emi.
Kodwa isenzakalo sangempela sikaBocelli asiphumeleli e-Italy, lapho abaculi abacula izingoma ezishaywa kalula nezothando ngokusobala ababonakali, kodwa e-United States. I-“Dream”, i-CD yakhe entsha, eseyidayise kakhulu e-Europe, isendaweni yokuqala ngokuduma kwezilwandle. Amathikithi amakhonsathi ohambo lwakhe lokugcina lwenkundla (izihlalo ezingu-22) adayiswe wonke kusenesikhathi. Kuthengisiwe. Ngoba uBocelli ubazi kahle izethameli zakhe kanye nomkhakha wakhe wemakethe. I-repertoire ayethulile yavivinywa isikhathi eside: uRossini omncane, u-Verdi omncane kwase kuba yizo zonke izingoma eziculwa i-Puccini arias (kusuka ku-"Che gelida manina" kusukela ku-"La Boheme" - futhi lapha izinyembezi ziyachithwa - kuya ku-"Vincero'" “Turandot”).* Eyokugcina, ngenxa kaBocelli, yathatha indawo yengoma ethi “My way” kuzo zonke izingqungquthela zodokotela bamazinyo baseMelika. Ngemva kokuvela kafushane njengoNemorino (I-Love Potion kaGaetano Donizetti isebenza njengokusuka kwakhe), ugibela isipoki sika-Enrico Caruso, ecula “O sole mio” kanye nokuthi “Core 'ngrato” eculwa ngokwezinga le-Neapolitan. Ngokuvamile, kunoma yikuphi, uthembekile ngesibindi esithombeni esisemthethweni se-Italian emculweni. Bese kubalwa ukulandela ngendlela yezingoma ezivela eSan Remo namahithi akamuva. Isiphetho esikhulu esithi “Isikhathi sokuvalelisa”, inguqulo yesiNgisi ye-“Con te partiro'”, ingoma emenze waduma futhi waceba. Kulokhu, ukusabela okufanayo: intshiseko yomphakathi nokuphola kwabagxeki: “Izwi liphaphathekile futhi alinagazi, umculo olingana ne-caramel enombala obomvana,” kuphawula i-Washington Post. "Kungenzeka yini ukuthi abantu abayizigidi ezingama-24 abathenga amarekhodi akhe baqhubeke nokwenza iphutha?" umqondisi weTower Records wenqaba. “Yebo kungenzeka,” kusho uMike Stryker, insizwa ehlakaniphile kwaDetroit Free Press. “Uma umdlali wopiyano ohlanyayo njengoDavid Helfgott. waba ngusaziwayo lapho sazi ukuthi noma yimuphi umfundi owenza unyaka wokuqala esikoleni udlala kangcono kunaye, bese kuthi i-tenor yase-Italy ingadayisa ama-disc ayizigidi ezingu-24.”
Futhi makungashiwo ukuthi u-Bocelli ukweleta impumelelo yakhe ngenxa yemvelo enhle esabalele kanye nesifiso sokumvikela, okubangelwa ubumpumputhe bakhe. Yiqiniso, iqiniso lokuba yimpumputhe linendima kule ndaba. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi: Ngiyalithanda izwi lakhe. “Unezwi elihle kakhulu. Futhi, njengoba u-Bocelli ecula ngesi-Italian, izethameli zinomuzwa wokujwayelana nesiko. Isiko kubantu abaningi. Yilokhu okubenza bazizwe bejabule,” kuchaza isekela likamongameli wePhilips uLisa Altman esikhathini esidlule. U-Bocelli ungumNtaliyane futhi ikakhulukazi iTuscan. Lokhu kungenye yamandla akhe: uthengisa isiko elidumile futhi elicwengisisiwe ngesikhathi esifanayo. Imisindo yezwi likaBocelli, emnene, ihlangana engqondweni yawo wonke amaMelika inombolo enombono omuhle, amagquma aseFiesole, iqhawe lefilimu ethi “The English Patient”, izindaba zikaHenry James, i-New York Times Isengezo sangeSonto esikhangisa i-villa yase-Chianti hills ngemva kwe-villa, ukuphela kwempelasonto ngemva kwempelasonto, ukudla kwaseMedithera, abantu baseMelika abakholelwa ukuthi kwasungulwa phakathi kukaSiena noFlorence. Akafani nhlobo no-Ricky Martin, imbangi ka-Bocelli eqondile emashadini, ojulukayo futhi oshwaqayo. Wenze kahle, kodwa uboshelwe kakhulu emfanekisweni womfuduki wochungechunge lwe-B, njengoba abantu basePuerto Rican bebhekwa namuhla. Futhi uBocelli, owakuqonda lokhu kungqubuzana, ulandela indlela enyathelwe kahle: ezingxoxweni zaseMelika uthola izintatheli, ecaphuna "Isihogo" sikaDante: "Sengidlule ingxenye yempilo yami yasemhlabeni, ngazithola ngisehlathini elimnyama ...". Futhi uyakwazi ukukwenza ngaphandle kokuhleka. Futhi wenzani phakathi kwengxoxo eyodwa nenye? Uhlala ekhoneni elicezile afunde “Impi Nokuthula” esebenzisa ikhompyutha yakhe enekhibhodi ye-Braille. Wabhala okufanayo encwadini yakhe yokuphila. Isihloko sesikhashana - "Umculo Wokuthula" (ilungelo lobunikazi elithengiselwe u-Warner yindlu yokushicilela yase-Italy i-Mondadori ngamadola ayizinkulungwane ezingu-500).
Ngokuvamile, impumelelo inqunywa kakhulu ubuntu bukaBocelli kunezwi lakhe. Futhi abafundi, ababalelwa ezigidini, bazoyifunda ngokulangazela indaba yokunqoba kwakhe ukukhubazeka ngokomzimba, okudalwe ngokuqondile ukuze kuthinteke, ngomdlandla babone isithombe sakhe esihle seqhawe lothando elinobuhle obuhle (u-Bocelli wayephakathi kwamadoda angama-50 athandeka kakhulu ngo-1998, umagazini othi “People”). Kodwa, nakuba ayebhalwe uphawu lobulili, u-Andrea ubonisa ukungabi nalutho okuphelele: "Ngezinye izikhathi umphathi wami uMichele Torpedine ungitshela:" Andrea, udinga ukuthuthukisa ukubukeka kwakho. Kodwa angiqondi ukuthi ukhuluma ngani.” Okumenza abe muhle ngokweqiniso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, unikezwe isibindi esingavamile: uyashushuluza, uya emidlalweni yamahhashi futhi wanqoba impi ebaluleke kakhulu: naphezu kokungaboni kanye nempumelelo engalindelekile (lokhu kungase kube ukukhubazeka okufana nomzimba), wakwazi ukuphila impilo evamile. Ushadile futhi ujabule, unezingane ezimbili futhi ngemuva kwakhe kunomndeni oqinile onamasiko abantulayo.
Ngokuqondene nezwi, manje wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi une-timbre enhle kakhulu, "kodwa inqubo yakhe namanje ayimvumeli ukuba enze intuthuko edingekayo ukuze azuze izethameli kusukela esiteji se-opera house. Ikhono lakhe ligxile kumbhobho,” kusho u-Angelo Foletti, umgxeki womculo wephephandaba iLa Repubblica. Ngakho-ke akukhona nje ukuqondana ukuthi u-Bocelli uvele emkhathizwe njengesenzakalo se-discographic, nakuba esekelwa uthando olungenamkhawulo lwe-opera. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukucula kumbhobho kubonakala sekuyinkambo, uma i-New York City Opera inquma ukusebenzisa imibhobho kusukela ngesizini ezayo ukuze ikhulise amazwi abaculi. Ku-Bocelli, leli kungaba yithuba elihle. Kodwa akalifuni leli thuba. “Ebholeni, kungafana nokunweba isango ukuze ushaye amagoli amaningi,” usho kanje. Isazi somculo u-Enrico Stinkelli siyachaza: “UBocelli ubekela inselele izinkundla, izilaleli ze-opera, lapho ecula ngaphandle kombhobho, okumlimaza kakhulu. Wayengaphila ngemali yezingoma, enze amakhonsathi ezinkundleni zemidlalo. Kodwa akafuni. Ufuna ukucula ku-opera.” Futhi imakethe imnika imvume yokwenza kanjalo.
Ngoba, eqinisweni, i-Bocelli iyihansi elizalela amaqanda egolide. Futhi hhayi kuphela lapho ecula umculo we-pop, kodwa nalapho enza i-operatic arias. "I-Arias from Operas", enye yama-albhamu akhe okugcina, idayiswe amakhophi ayizigidi ezi-3. I-disc ye-Pavarotti ene-repertoire efanayo ithengise amakhophi angu-30 kuphela. Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Kuchaza umgxeki uKerry Gold weVancouver Sun, “U-Bocelli uyinxusa elingcono kakhulu lomculo we-pop owake waba nawo emhlabeni we-opera.” Sekukonke, uphumelele ukugcwalisa igebe elihlukanisa izethameli ezijwayelekile ku-opera, noma kunalokho, ama-tenor amathathu, noma kunjalo esesimweni sokuwohloka, ama-tenor “asephenduke izitsha ezintathu ezijwayelekile, i-pizza, utamatisi kanye Coca-Cola”, kwengeza u-Enrico Stinkelli.
Abantu abaningi bazuze kulesi simo, hhayi kuphela umphathi uTorpedini, othola imali evela kukho konke ukubonakala kukaBocelli esidlangalaleni futhi owahlela umbukiso omkhulu ngesikhathi soNyaka Omusha ka-2000 e-Yavits Centre eNew York noBocelli nezinkanyezi ze-rock. Aretha Franklin, Sting, Chuck Berry. Hhayi kuphela uKaterina Sugar-Caselli, umnikazi wenkampani yokuqopha eyavula futhi yakhangisa uBocelli. Kodwa kukhona ibutho lonke labaculi nababhali bezingoma abamesekayo, kusukela ngo-Lucio Quarantotto, owayengungqongqoshe wesikole, umbhali we-"Con te partiro'". Bese kuba nabalingani abaningi be-duet. Ngokwesibonelo, u-Celine Dion, u-Bocelli acula naye ethi “The Prayer”, ingoma eqokwe ka-Oscar enqobe izethameli ku-Night of the Stars. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, isidingo sikaBocelli sikhule kakhulu. Wonke umuntu ufuna umhlangano naye, wonke umuntu ufuna ukucula i-duet naye, ufana noFigaro waseBarber yaseSeville. Umuntu wokugcina owangqongqoza emnyango wendlu yakhe eForte dei Marmi eTuscany kwakungeyena omunye ngaphandle kukaBarbra Streisand. Inkosi efanayo uMidas ayikwazanga ukuvusa inkanuko yabaphathi be-discography. “Ngithole izinhlinzeko ezibalulekile. Iminikelo eyenza ikhanda lakho lizule,” kuvuma uBocelli. Ingabe uzizwa efuna ukushintsha amaqembu? “Iqembu alishintshi ngaphandle uma kunesizathu esizwakalayo salokho. U-Sugar-Caselli wayekholelwa kimi ngisho nalapho wonke umuntu wayengibhaklaza iminyango. Enhliziyweni, ngisewumfana wasemaphandleni. Ngikholelwa ezimisweni ezithile kanye nokuxhawulana kusho okungaphezu kwenkontileka ebhaliwe.” Mayelana nenkontileka, kule minyaka yabuyekezwa kathathu. Kodwa uBocelli akanelisekile. Udliwa yi-melomania yakhe. “Lapho ngicula i-opera,” kuvuma uBocelli, “ngihola kancane kakhulu futhi ngilahlekelwa amathuba amaningi. Ilebuli yami ye-discography i-Universal ithi ngiyahlanya, ukuthi ngingaphila njenge-nabob ditties eculayo. Kodwa kimi akunandaba. Kusukela lapho ngikholelwa kokuthile, ngiyaphishekela kuze kube sekugcineni. Umculo we-Pop wawubalulekile. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuthola umphakathi jikelele ukuthi ungazi. Ngaphandle kwempumelelo endimeni yomculo we-pop, akekho obengangibona njenge-tenor. Kusukela manje kuqhubeke, ngizonikela kuphela isikhathi esidingekayo somculo we-pop. Isikhathi esisele ngizosinikeza i-opera, izifundo ne-maestro yami uFranco Corelli, ukuthuthukiswa kwesipho sami.
U-Bocelli uphishekela isipho sakhe. Akwenzeki nsuku zonke ukuthi umqhubi ofana noZubin Meta ameme i-tenor ukuthi aqophe i-La bohème naye. Umphumela uba i-albhamu eqoshwe ne-Israel Symphony Orchestra, ezophuma ngo-Okthoba. Ngemuva kwalokho, uBocelli uzohambela eDetroit, inhloko-dolobha yomlando womculo waseMelika. Kulokhu uzocula emdlalweni kaJules Massenet ethi Werther. I-Opera yama-light tenors. U-Bocelli uqinisekile ukuthi ihambisana nezintambo zakhe zezwi. Kepha umgxeki waseMelika ovela kuSeattle Times, owake wezwa ekhonsathini ingoma kaWerther ethi “Hhawu ungangivusi” ** (ikhasi lapho abathandi bomqambi ongumFulentshi abangeke bacabange ukuba khona ngaphandle kwalo), wabhala ukuthi kuphela umbono wokuthi yonke into iyenzeka. i-opera eculwa ngale ndlela imenza aqhaqhazele ngenxa yokwesaba. Mhlawumbe uqinisile. Kodwa, ngokungangabazeki, u-Bocelli ngeke ayeke kuze kube yilapho eqinisekisa abangabaza abanenkani ukuthi angakwazi ukucula i-opera. Ngaphandle kwemakrofoni noma ngombhobho.
