Description
Franz Liszt - Marche funebre from Donizetti's Dom Sebastien, S402
Performer: Raymond Lewenthal
This transcription, probably better described as a free re-creation, of the Marche funèbre from Donizetti's Dom Sébastien, was written in 1844 for Liszt's Iberian concert tour and published the next year with a dedication to the Queen of Portugal. The piece is more than double the length of Donizetti's—the result of extensive sequential repetition and variation of the original material (the main march melody is repeated in various keys with ever-increasing volume before returning back to C, and the melody sung to "Si quillate a lutto, o trombe" by the basses of the choir is imitated contrapuntally in an excursus of greater complexity than the original).
Comments
Elio Boncompani – the fi rst conductor who recorded Dom Sébastien on CD in 1998 claimed that Gustav Mahler was struck by this march when he heard it in the street, and used it in his Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor and in the fourth song: Die zwei blauen Augen from Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. On the other hand, according to William Ashbrook, Mahler must have been more closely acquainted with the march, probably in Liszt’s transcription, and used it in the middle section of the last song from the said cycle in the key of C major. Despite doubts about the inspiration for Mahler’s interpretations, there is no question as to the reference to Donizetti’s opera, a musical illustration of the atmosphere of impending death.

while the Funeral March from Dom Sébastien is a rarity, although it was a great success in Vienna in the mid-19th century. The enormous popularity of the German version of the opera contributed to the recognition of Liszt’s version as the offi cial state funeral music in the AustroHungarian capital. The ailing Donizetti, whom Liszt succeeded to the position of Hofkapellmeister in Vienna, suggested in a letter to Totto Vaselli that he ‘Buy Liszt’s arrangement of the March; it will make your hair stand on end.’

这首转录自Donizetti的《唐-塞巴斯蒂安》（Dom Sébastien）中的《葬礼进行曲》（Marche funèbre）的作品，可能更像是自由的再创作，写于1844年，为李斯特的Iberian巡回音乐会而写，并在第二年出版，同时献给葡萄牙女王。这首曲子的长度是Donizetti作品的两倍以上--是对原作材料进行大量连续重复和变奏的结果（主进行曲旋律在回到C调之前，在不同的调子上以越来越大的音量重复，合唱团低音歌唱的 "Si quillate a lutto, o trombe "的旋律在一个比原作更复杂的节选中进行了模仿）。奢华厚重的质感也许不是李斯特最精妙的表现，但在Wolfram的演奏中，它们形成了一种令人兴奋的体验。
