摘要

本文研究了19世纪30年代至70年代旅行音乐家与俄罗斯宫廷和贵族的互动。本书借鉴了在职业生涯中访问过圣彼得堡和莫斯科的音乐家的回忆录、旅行报告和个人文件,讨论了意大利歌剧的宫廷层面;尼古拉一世(1825-1855)统治时期贵族和宫廷在组织音乐会生活中的作用;亚历山大二世(r. 1855-1881)时期的相关变化和连续性,音乐会生活经历了快速的专业化;最后是俄罗斯精英提供的奖励的象征意义。有人认为,在这一时期,帝国和贵族认可的持久意义大大增加了俄罗斯对外国音乐家的吸引力。许多游客与俄罗斯政权及其精英建立了积极、互惠的关系,即使专制政权的价值观、等级制度和传统可能与成功表演者的社会地位和独立意识不一致。在音乐话语中,关于音乐家访问的报道流传着俄罗斯的形象——一个奢华、精致和上流社会的城市形象——与迄今为止在音乐史编纂中最受关注的狂野和野蛮的刻板印象形成鲜明对比;他们对宫廷和家族的描述也倾向于符合罗曼诺夫王朝所追求的权威和仁慈的形象。

Navigating the Local Elites: Travelling Musicians and their Encounters with the Russian Court and Aristocracy in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
This article studies the interactions of travelling musicians with the Russian court and aristocracy from the 1830s to the 1870s. Drawing on a broad corpus of memoirs, travel reports and personal documents of musicians who visited St Petersburg and Moscow in the course of their careers, it discusses the courtly dimensions of the Italian Opera; the role of the aristocracy and court in the organization of concert life under Nicholas I (r. 1825–1855); the relevant changes and continuities under Alexander II (r. 1855–1881), when concert life would undergo rapid professionalization; and finally, the symbolic dimensions of the rewards offered by the Russian elites. The persistent significance of imperial and noble recognition in this period, it is argued, added considerably to Russia's appeal for foreign musicians. Many visitors developed a positive, reciprocal relation with the Russian regime and its elites, even if the values, hierarchies and traditions of the autocratic regime could be at odds with the social status and sense of independence of successful performers. In musical discourse, reports of musicians’ visits circulated an image of Russia – an urban image of luxury, refinement and high society – that contrasted with the stereotype of wild and barbarous expanses that have so far attracted most attention in music historiography; and their descriptions of the imperial court and family tended to match the image – of imposing authority and benevolence – the Romanov monarchy sought to project.
