今年四月剛過世的大提琴家、鋼琴家、指揮家羅斯卓波維奇(Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich),以及她的遺孀,女高音Galina Pavlovana Vishnevskaya,是上個世紀古典樂壇當中,最令人矚目的夫妻檔。羅斯卓波維奇這位以演奏Bach與Shostakovich聞名的音樂家,對詮釋音樂之藝術的影響甚鉅。夫妻兩人在1955年相遇,並進而決定共度一生。2005年,在兩人的準備慶祝金婚派對之際,導演亞歷山大蘇古諾夫作下了這段記錄。在兩人的住所裡,談他們的藝術、談他們的生活、他們跟知名作曲家朋友蕭士塔高維契與普羅高菲夫的互動關係,以及他們對古典樂與時間流逝的想法。影片中,我們也看到了羅斯卓波維奇在維也納愛樂管絃樂團採排的身影,以及Vishnevskaya為學生上課的一面。

同樣地,蘇古諾夫作為一個紀錄片導演,當然不僅只是一個具洞察力的訪問者,自己擔任片中旁白,聲音深邃迷幻,歷史性的資料畫面,舊歐洲的文化與記憶,在聲音與影像的相互交錯中逐漸呈現。Vishnevskaya目前已接受蘇古諾夫的邀約,在一部關於車臣戰爭的新片中演出。

Cellist, pianist, and conductor Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich (1927-2007), and opera singer Galina Pavlovana Vishnevskaya (born in 1926), are classical music’s most famous couple. Half outsiders in Russia (he is of Polish-Lithuanian descent, she is Polish-Gypsy), they became exiled in the mid 1970s after sheltering dissident writer Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. Sokurov interviews the two in their delightful home while the celebrations for their golden anniversary are underway. They speak of their art, their life, their relationships with composer friends Shostakovich and Prokofiev, and about their ideas on classical music and the changing times. With his mesmerizing melancholy voice-over, the director speaks of culture and memories of the Old Europe, which he incorporates with relevant archival footage. Once again, Sokurov proves that when his filmography deals with direct and enigmatic topics alike, there is no cinema that matches his.
