美国作曲家大卫·朗的作品常常在概念上专门为某个独特且不寻常、与作品主题内容相契合的音乐团体而创作。他曾受英国足球场上人群声音的启发，为1000人合唱团创作了一首作品《人群涌现》（“Crowd Out”）。尽管如此，《爱之殇》对他来说仍是一个里程碑式的作品：在此之前，他从未为像专注于中世纪风格的女性声乐四重奏组合“匿名四重奏”（Anonymous 4）这样有实力的团体创作过作品。（为中世纪三重奏组合“Trio Mediaeval”创作的《庇护所》（“Shelter”）与之相比则逊色不少。）对于“匿名四重奏”组合来说，这张唱片同样是一个里程碑：大约在2014年该唱片发行之际，这个组合宣布将在2015 - 2016音乐季之后解散，而这张唱片或许为其极具才华的成员们指明了在当代音乐领域发展的未来方向。
《爱之殇》和大卫·朗的许多其他作品一样，有点难以归类，而这正是它的魅力所在。它既不是康塔塔，也不是声乐套曲或歌剧，尽管它最初是在舞台上呈现的。这部作品由15个短小的部分组成，对中世纪的爱情观念，尤其是对特里斯坦与伊索尔德的故事进行了沉思。瓦格纳的《爱之死》在作品结尾部分出现。这部作品大多是为中世纪诗歌的翻译片段（作曲家称是经过数字翻译的）谱曲，同时还融入了诗人莉迪亚·戴维斯创作的一些现代插句；后者是对基本主题的有效发挥，有些甚至还颇具幽默感（可以听听第八首曲目《禁忌话题》）。
大卫·朗的音乐风格介于极简主义和与主题相契合的准中世纪风格之间，带有模仿的元素，还有一些令人毛骨悚然的间奏段落。这部作品与常规作品的不同之处在于，它精心雕琢，充分利用了“匿名四重奏”组合成员们丰富多样的音色和鲜明的表现力，有时听到的声音能同时达到简洁而又离奇的境界。和大卫·朗的其他作品一样，它能立刻吸引你的注意力，而且它确实有一种新颖且不断发展的简洁特质。强烈推荐。

**** Hidden Message *****
American composer David Lang's works are often conceptually tailored to a particular and unusual ensemble that matches the thematic content of the work. He has composed a piece ("Crowd Out") for 1,000 voices, inspired by the sound of soccer crowds in Britain. Nevertheless, Love Fail marks something of a milestone for him: he has never before written for a group with the chops of the medieval-oriented, female vocal quartet Anonymous 4. ("Shelter," composed for Trio Mediaeval, is a pale comparison.) For Anonymous 4, too, the recording is a milestone: around the time it was released in 2014, the group announced its retirement after the 2015-2016 season, and it perhaps points the way to a future in contemporary music for its supremely talented members. "Love Fail," like many of Lang's other compositions, is somewhat unclassifiable, and in this lies its appeal. It's not a cantata, song cycle, or opera, although it was originally presented on-stage. The work is a rumination in 15 short sections on the medieval idea of love, and specifically on the story of Tristan and Isolde. Wagner's Liebestod makes an appearance at the end. Mostly the work sets translated fragments (digitally translated, the composer says) of medieval poetry, along with some modern interpolations by poet Lydia Davis; the latter are effective riffs on the basic idea, and some are even humorous (try "Forbidden Subjects," track eight). Lang's music falls in between minimalism and a quasi-medieval style appropriate to the subject, with elements of pastiche and some hair-raising interludes. What sets it apart from the norm is the care with which it is shaped to take advantage of the multiple colors and sharp edges of Anonymous 4's voices, and at times the sounds heard achieve the grail of being simple and uncanny at the same time. Like Lang's other works, it will get your attention immediately, but it also has a real economy that is new and growing. Highly recommended.
