“这次合作让我体会到了柯达伊曾经说过的一句话：歌唱可以使生活变得美好，歌唱的人可以使别人美好，如果大家一起歌唱，那么世界将变成一个美好、和谐的社会——我们的工作就是要把柯达伊的精神继续延续下去。”在9月中旬至下旬于匈牙利、伊朗、埃及相继举办的“丝路花语”系列演出活动中，匈牙利柯达伊世界音乐协会主席奇卡尔·伊尔迪如是说；而这也是本次“丝路花语”系列演出活动所要传递的文化主题。

充满感动和不舍的音乐声

“匈牙利不仅是古丝绸之路国家之一，也是欧洲首个同中国签署‘一带一路’合作的国家，更是一个音乐艺术成就令人瞩目的国家。李斯特、巴托克、柯达伊、艾凯尔等世界著名的音乐家均来自匈牙利，他们的音乐理念、音乐作品和创新经验，对包括中国在内的世界音乐发展产生了积极影响。”中国音协驻会副主席兼秘书长韩新安表示，“丝路花语”中国民族音乐巡演首站选在匈牙利布达佩斯举行，就是希望通过音乐在新时代继承和发扬丝路精神。

当地时间9月15晚，由中国文联、匈牙利柯达伊世界音乐协会、中国音协主办的“丝路花语”匈牙利专场演出在布达佩斯十区侨玛文化中心精彩呈现。音乐会上，中国“金钟之星茉莉花民乐团”（简称“金钟团”）与柯达伊世界乐团和柯达伊世界合唱团，以及匈牙利小提琴演奏家尼多·奥尔多联袂献艺，演奏了多姿多彩、别具韵味的中国传统乐曲和匈牙利经典音乐曲目，得到匈牙利民众和华人侨胞的高度赞誉和喜爱。中国文联副主席李屹、中国驻匈牙利大使段洁龙、中国音协驻会副主席兼秘书长韩新安、中国驻匈牙利大使馆文化参赞王峥、刘天华阿炳中国音乐基金会理事长邹建平等观看了演出。

音乐会第一个节目是中匈两国音乐家合奏的《克莱双重奏》《欢乐的日子》，代表了和谐的中匈文化交流。接下来，笛子演奏家刘强演奏的《姑苏行》、琵琶演奏家陈音独奏的《十面埋伏》、二胡演奏家朱昌耀独奏的《二泉映月》《赛马》、青年唢呐演奏家张倩渊独奏的《百鸟朝凤》、匈牙利小提琴家尼多·奥尔多演奏的中国乐曲《好一朵美丽的茉莉花》和匈牙利乐曲《匈牙利舞曲》《胜利之歌》轮番上演，赢得现场观众阵阵热烈掌声。当音乐会所有曲目演出完毕后，柯达伊世界合唱团指挥倍感激动，临时提议现场观众全体起立，专门为茉莉花民乐团热情合唱了一首在匈牙利传唱度很高的歌曲《祝你晚安》。在充满感动和不舍的音乐声中，音乐会圆满落下帷幕。值得一提的是，为了让匈牙利民众更深入地了解中国传统音乐，本次音乐会的主持词除了节目介绍外，还专门增加了对中国民族特色乐器及其代表曲目的介绍，受到现场匈牙利观众的热烈欢迎和高度评价。匈牙利科舒特金奖得主、著名电影导演、匈牙利国家歌剧院院长米克洛斯·西纳塔，匈牙利著名钢琴家阿莱克斯·西拉西对精彩表演赞不绝口，称“丝路花语”专场演出带给匈牙利观众一次中国民乐的视听盛宴。

9月20日，在中华人民共和国成立68周年前夕，由中国文联、中国驻伊朗大使馆、中国音协联合主办的“丝路花语”中国民族音乐系列专场演出在德黑兰音乐博物馆举行，向伊朗民众展示了中国民族音乐多姿多彩的魅力。

伊朗文化与伊斯兰指导部副部长莫拉德霍尼、中国驻伊朗大使庞森、中国音协驻会副主席兼秘书长韩新安、刘天华阿炳中国民族音乐基金会理事长邹建平和秘书长杨丽娟与来自德黑兰音乐博物馆、伊朗国家交响乐团、德黑兰大学的知名音乐家及社会各界人士共300余人，观看了由江苏省音协主席、著名二胡演奏家朱昌耀领衔的“金钟团”的演出。晚会上，中国音乐家们以饱满的热情和精湛的技艺演奏了《姑苏行》《十面埋伏》《百鸟朝凤》《二泉映月》《伊朗！》等中伊经典名曲，具有浓郁的中国民族特色和艺术感染力，现场观众对中国音乐家的精彩演出不时报以热烈的掌声，并在演出结束后纷纷上前与音乐家们近距离交流互动。

经过十几小时的乘机转机长途旅行，“金钟团”一行17人于22日凌晨抵达埃及开罗，当晚就在有着百年历史的开罗歌剧院举行了专场演出。埃及文化部副部长、开罗歌剧院院长伊纳斯·阿卜杜勒·达伊姆，中国驻埃及大使宋爱国夫妇，驻埃及使馆文化参赞兼开罗中国文化中心主任石岳文等嘉宾与来自驻埃使馆、在埃工商界代表、开罗歌剧院知名音乐家及社会各界人士共300余人观看了演出。音乐会上，中国音乐家的精彩表演赢得了阵阵掌声，当音乐家们奏出埃及著名音乐家与作曲家奥马尔·海拉尔创作的《埃及的魅力》时，更是将全场气氛推向热烈的高潮。

让“金钟团”全体成员尤感自豪和兴奋的是，中国驻埃及大使馆邀请“金钟团”参加9月24日晚中国大使馆举行的庆祝中华人民共和国成立68周年的招待会并为嘉宾演出。当晚，开罗利兹卡尔顿酒店洋溢着喜庆的节日气氛，埃及第一副议长谢里夫，埃总理代表、贸工部长卡比勒，高教科研部长阿卜杜勒盖法尔，交通部长阿拉法特，国有企业部长沙尔卡维，外交部亚洲事务部长助理穆拉德，国防部、文化部、农业部等部门副部级官员，爱资哈尔大学校长马哈拉萨维，前总理沙拉夫，埃中友协主席瓦利以及埃主要政党负责人、各界友好人士，阿拉伯国家联盟代表、各国驻埃使节、武官等800余人出席招待会，高朋满座，宾客盈门。音乐家们在现场演奏了《花好月圆》《百鸟朝凤》《赛马》《茉莉花》《紫竹调》《彩云追月》等中国名曲，使招待会充满欢乐的节日气氛。

“丝路花语”系列活动向匈牙利、埃及、伊朗三国的主流社会、文化界人士和各国使节展示了中国民族音乐的魅力和优秀的传统文化底蕴。不但演出取得了圆满成功，在音乐交流方面的成效亦硕果累累——在匈牙利期间，中国音协与柯达伊世界音乐协会在匈牙利乔玛文化中心签署了合作备忘录；在伊朗伊斯法罕期间，“金钟团”部分音乐家访问了伊斯法罕大学，与伊斯法罕大学校方在亲切友好的气氛中进行了座谈交流，双方均表示愿进一步加深交流合作，共同促进双方音乐事业的发展，中国的音乐家们现场展示各种中国民族乐器并演奏了部分经典曲目，引发热烈反响；在埃及，中国音乐家们拜会了埃及文化部副部长、开罗歌剧院院长伊纳斯·阿卜杜勒·达伊姆，就中埃音乐艺术交流合作事宜进行了深入探讨，双方追溯了在古丝绸之路上两国在音乐领域互学互鉴的历史，介绍了两国乐器和音乐的发展情况，希冀在创作、表演、交流等方面搭建合作平台，携手共促发展。

谈及此次系列演出活动的主题，韩新安说，古代丝绸之路是一条贸易之路，更是一条友谊之路。在长期的友好交往中，逐渐形成了合作包容、互学互鉴的丝路精神。中国国家主席习近平在新的历史条件下提出“一带一路”倡议，就是希望共同唤醒沿线国家的历史记忆，继承和发扬丝路精神，赋予古代丝绸之路以全新的时代内涵。本次系列演出就是一次用音乐艺术的形式贯彻“一带一路”倡议的具体实践。“这次演出为匈牙利人民了解中国、感知中国文化开辟一个新的途经。中国文化有‘高山流水觅知音’的传统，在中国政府倡导‘一带一路’的过程中，得到了匈牙利政府和人民的广泛的共鸣和支持，希望匈牙利政府和人民能够成为中国人民实现民族伟大复兴过程中永远的知音。”中国驻匈牙利大使馆文化专员王心怡说。

“This cooperation reminds me of a saying by Kodaly Zoltan, ‘singing can make a fine life and singers can make others feel fine. If all of us join in singing, the world will change into a beautiful and harmonious society.’ Thus our job is to extend such a spirit of Kodaly into the reality.” said Csikai Ildiko, president of Kodaly’s World Nonprofit LLC (KWNLLC).His words accurately conveyed the cultural theme of “Silk Road” series of performances in Hungary, Iran and Egypt in late September, 2017.

Melody Full of Touching and Lingering Senses

“As one of the countries along the ancient Silk Road, Hungary is the first one in Europe to sign the agreement for ‘B&R’ Initiative with China. It is also a country of outstanding musical achievement. Such famous musicians as Franz Liszt, Béla Viktor János Bartók, Kodaly Zoltan and Franz Erkel came from Hungary. Their concepts, composition and experience of innovation have exerted a positive impact upon the musical development of China and even the entire world,”said HAN Xin’an, executive vice president and secretary general of China Musicians Association(CMA) .

When the concert came to an end, the conductor of Kodaly World Chorus, out of excitement, unexpechedly made a request for the entire audience to stand up and sing a famous song in Hungary Wish You a Good Night for JCNO that came all the way from China. In this touching and lingering melody, the concert concluded in great success. In order to enable Hungarian people to understand traditional Chinese music, a particular introduction to the typical Chinese national musical instruments as well as representative repertoire was included in the brochure, which received a warm welcome and good remarks from Hungarian audiences. Full of praise over this excellent concert, Szinetár Miklós, famous director and president of National Opera House of Hungary, and Szilasi Alex, reputable pianist in Hungary,considered this “Silk Road” concert to be a feast of Chinese music for Hungarian people.
