LENOX, Mass. - Umqhubi uMichael Tilson Thomas, kwisithuba somsebenzi wakhe womculo wesiqingatha senkulungwane, uye waqhuba imisebenzi emininzi ye-Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, kunye nesiphelo sayo esichukumisayo esithi "Ode to Joy".

Kodwa xa ethatha iqonga ngeCawa eTanglewood, umthendeleko womculo wehlobo apha eBerkshires, uTomas waziva ehlukile. Kwakusele kungaphezu konyaka oko kwafunyaniswa ukuba une-glioblastoma, uhlobo lomhlaza wobuchopho, olwamtheza amandla kwaye lwamnyanzela ukuba ajongane nokufa kwakhe kwakamsinya kunokuba bekulindelwe. Wavela ngokuxabisa okutsha ngokumangalisayo komculo kaBeethoven kunye nombane wokusebenza okuphilayo.

“Kuhle kakhulu,” utshilo uThomas, oneminyaka engama-77 emva komdlalo. "Iyabuyisela. »

UThomas, owayesakuba ngumalathisi womculo weSan Francisco Symphony Orchestra, ochithe umsebenzi wakhe womculo efunda imibuzo yexesha kunye nobukho, uyazi ukuba iintsuku zakhe zilinganiselwe. Wathabatha uhambo lokuya eTahiti naseNova Scotia kunye nosapho kunye nabahlobo bakhe; iijenali zobomi zobugcisa azigcine ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-60; waza waqalisa ukucinga ngomculo owawuza kudlalwa kwinkonzo yesikhumbuzo sakhe.

Kodwa akavumi ukuvalelwa kukugula kwakhe. “Nakwimeko apho ixesha lincinci, nokuba kukuzilolonga okanye kubomi, ungavuma kwaye uzixolele,” utshilo. “Usenokuthi, ‘Ndandinexesha elininzi yaye yiloo nto endiye ndakwazi ukuyifeza.’ Kwaye ilungile. Ndiseluxolweni ngaloo nto.

Waqhubeka nokuqamba kunye nokurekhoda iziqwenga zepiyano azithandayo. Umfundisi ozinikeleyo, usebenza kuthotho olutsha lweevidiyo eziphonononga izimvo zomculo.

Kwaye uceba isileyiti esinebhongo seekonsathi ubuncinci kwihlobo elizayo, eSan Francisco, eMiami, eCleveland, eNew York nangaphaya, elwa neesymphonies ezikhethekileyo zikaMahler; iicantata zikaOlivier Messiaen; kunye nekonsathi entsha yecello yomqambi wefilimu uDanny Elfman.

Ukubuyela kukaThomas eTanglewood, apho aqhube khona iinkqubo ezimbini neBoston Symphony Orchestra ngempelaveki, yayibuhlungu kakhulu. Kulapho waqala khona umsebenzi wakhe: ngo-1969, emva kokuphumelela ibhaso apha, wabizwa ngokuba ngumncedisi womqhubi weBoston Symphony, apho wahlala iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi.

Amanye amalungu e-orchestra esaba ukuba umhlaza unokuthintela uThomas ukuba angayi eTanglewood, ukubonakala kwakhe okokuqala kumthendeleko ukususela ngo-2018. Kodwa wafika ngamandla kunye nokuhlekisa, exoxa ngokufutshane nje ngemicimbi yakhe yezempilo ngexesha le-premiere. Ebudeni beentsuku eziliqela zocwangciso oluqatha neokhestra, wayebonakalisa ubulumko nokuchul’ ukunyathela, etsiba esithubeni xa efuna amandla angakumbi kwiimvumi aze abethe ngobhontsi xa zifunda iipaseji ezinobuqhetseba.

“Akanakuthintelwa,” utshilo uLawrence Wolfe, oyintloko yeokhestra encedisa i-bass ephindwe kabini. Akayi kuvumela ukugula kwakhe kumlawule. Akahlali kuyo. Uphakama nje phezulu.

Ngaphambi kokuba kufunyaniswe ukuba unomhlaza, uThomas wayekwinqanaba eliphezulu lomsebenzi wakhe, owayesakuba ngusomaqhuzu womculo weklasikhi, owaziwa ngegama lesiqhulo elithi MTT, ehlonitshwa ngenxa yobuchule bakhe bomdlalo oqhelekileyo kunye nokulwela abaqambi baseMelika.

Ngo-2020, emva kweminyaka engama-25, wayishiya iSan Francisco Symphony Orchestra, apho waye wanikwa imbeko ngokuguqula indibano ibe yenye yezona zibalaseleyo elizweni. Uye wawongwa ngokuba ngomnye wabaseki beNew World Symphony, iokhestra yoqeqesho lwamagcisa aselula eMiami, ngo-1987.

Ke, ngehlobo elidlulileyo, wafunda ukuba une-glioblastoma, enye yezona ndlela zibulalayo zomhlaza wobuchopho, owachaphazela unyana kaMongameli Biden, uBeau Biden, kunye noSenator uJohn McCain. Oogqirha bakhe baqikelela ukuba wayesalelwe ziinyanga ezisibhozo kuphela ukuba aphile. Wenza utyando lokukhupha ithumba waza wayeka ukusebenza kangangeenyanga eziliqela.

Esoyika yaye edinwe eyimfe, kwakunzima ukuba amkele isigulo sakhe. Kwakhona wayekhangele phambili ekuzigcineni exakekile.

"Kwakukho umzuzu owothusayo wokuqala kunye nohlobo lokuba, 'Kulungile, ke ndiza kubhinqa esinqeni sam apha ndigqibe kwaye ndizifezekise zonke ezi zinto,' utshilo.

Njengoko wayechacha emva kotyando, imbono yakhe yaqalisa ukutshintsha. Waye engagxininisi kakhulu kwimpumelelo kwaye unomdla wokuphumla kunye nokucamngca okunzulu. Wayekulangazelela ukuchitha ixesha elininzi nabantu abathandayo, kubandakanya uJoshua Robison, umyeni wakhe kunye nomphathi.

“Ndaqala ukwamkela kwaye ndiwaxabisa loo maxesha okuzola nokuphumla endinokuthi ngawo ndikhumbule ngabantu kunye namava omculo asinxibelelanisa sonke ngokunzulu,” utshilo uThomas.

Kancinci wabuyela eqongeni, wenza inkangeleko yoloyiso kunye neNew York Philharmonic ngoNovemba, igigi yakhe yokuqala ukusukela kwisibhengezo somhlaza, elandelwa kukuzibandakanya eLos Angeles, eMiami naseSan Francisco, apho ahlala khona.

NgoMatshi, esithi "uthatha ubomi bam", wabhengeza ukuba uza kurhoxa njengomlawuli wezobugcisa weNew World Symphony ukuze agxile kwimpilo yakhe.

Nangona wayesoloko eziva ediniwe kwaye ngamanye amaxesha wayenengxaki yokufunda amanqaku, ithuku lakhe lobugcisa kunye nokuqhuba kwakhe kwahlala kunjalo. Ukugula kwakhe kumnyanzele ukuba afunde ukusebenza ngakumbi kwicala lakhe, utshilo.

“Ndiziva ndidiniwe ngakumbi, ndidiniwe ngakumbi emzimbeni, ngakumbi kunokuba bendiziva kule minyaka idlulileyo,” utshilo. Kwelinye icala, ndiye ndafunda ukuba ndiyakwazi ukwenza izinto ezimangalisayo ngaphandle kokuba ndizinyanzele. »

NgoJanuwari wabonakala kunye nomdlali wepiyano uEmanuel Ax eLos Angeles, kwinkqubo equka iBrahms 'Piano Concerto No. U-Ax ukhumbule ukuba uThomas wayegxile kakhulu kumculo, ebonakala ezimisele ukuba angavumeli ukugula kwakhe kuphazamise.

“Uziva ngathi yonke into iza kudlala ngendlela ehlala ihleli ngayo,” utshilo u-Axe. "Ndiyazi ngokwengqondo ukuba asiyonyani, kodwa yindlela akwenza ukuba uzive ngayo. Ukuphatha oku ngendlela eyakhayo neyilayo ngendlela emangalisayo.

ETanglewood ngeCawe, uThomas kunye neemvumi bafumene uvuyo oluvela kubaphulaphuli abangama-7 olwathatha imizuzu emithandathu. Ukonwabele ukuqhwatywa kwezandla, ekhazimla njengoko exhawulana nabadlali eqongeni.

Emva kwekonsathi, abantu benza umgca bebulela uThomas baze bafote. Abaninzi babelila, bengazi ukuba banokuphinda bambone eTanglewood.

“Undizisele uvuyo lomculo olungaka ebomini bam,” utshilo uMaressa Gershowitz, umfoti waseConnecticut ozise abantwana bakhe nabazukulwana kumboniso.

Kulwamkelo kamva ngaloo mini, uTomas wathetha ngokunokwenzeka kweeokhestra ukuphumeza "injongo emanyeneyo yenjongo" xa zisenza iziqwenga ezifana neNinth Symphony.

"Kukho ukuzinikela okumanyeneyo ekwenzeni umculo ube wodwa, kwaye yiloo nto kanye endiye ndaziva ngayo kwezi ntsuku zimbalwa zidlulileyo ngamalungu amangalisayo e-BSO," uxelele isihlwele sabahlobo. , iimvumi kunye nabasebenzi abasebenzisana neBoston Symphony. “Ndibe nombulelo kakhulu kule nxalenye yokugqibela yobomi bam ukuba ndibe nethuba lokuphinda ndiqhagamshelane nabo, kunye nawe. »

Phezu kwako nje ukuphazanyiswa ngamathub’ athile, uThomas uwafuna ngolangazelelo amathuba okwenza umculo, ngokukodwa nabahlobo abasenyongweni. Ngentsasa yangoMvulo, wamema umdlali weselula u-Yo-Yo Ma kwindawo yakhe yokurenta kufutshane neTanglewood ukuze azalisekise umnqweno ekudala waba nawo, wokudlala indima yepiyano ecaleni kuka-Ma kwi-Debussy's Cello Sonata.

UMa uthe wachukunyiswa yintelekelelo yokudlala kukaThomas kwaye waziva ukuba imibuzo yobomi nokufa yayivakala kumculo womqhubi okoko wafunyaniswayo.

UMa wathi: “Yonke into esiyibonayo kwinkcubeko imalunga nesithuba esiphakathi kobomi nokufa.” “Xa ujamelene noxilongo oluqatha ngolo hlobo, ngokucacileyo ucinga ngawo wonke umjikelo wobomi bakho. »

UThomas uthe waziva "ezolile kwaye wayeka" ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba afe. Emva kokuba enyamezele isigulo sakhe, wathi wathuthuzelwa yimfundiso yobuBhuda: “Izinto azibonakali ngathi zinjalo. Azikho ngenye indlela.

"Oko kubonakala kuyimfihlakalo ebalulekileyo yomculo kunye nobugcisa kunye nayo yonke into," watsho.

Kutshanje, uphulaphule ingoma kaSchubert, “Wandrers Nachtlied,” athi yamkhumbuza ngemfuneko yokuyeka imizabalazo engenantsingiselo. Umbhalo wengoma kaSchubert ufundeka ngolu hlobo:

Yhoo ndidikiwe ngulo mbhodamo!
Zeziphi zonke ezi lonwabo neentsizi?
Uxolo olumnandi!
Yiza, oh, ngena esifubeni sam!

“Kutheni kukho konke oku kulangazelela nentlungu kwakhona? watsho uThomas. Yeyiphi impumelelo elandelayo? Kwesiphi isikhundla? Igama lam liza kuprintelwa loluphi ubungakanani befonti, nabuphi na obo bubudenge. La mava andihambise ngakumbi kwindlela yokungazikhathazi ngayo yonke loo nto. Kwaye ngoku ndiyakwazi ukuba noxolo.
