德國之聲(因個人時間有限故只能節錄並簡單翻譯還請見諒) Munich Philharmonic drops star conductor Valery Gergiev over Putin ties https://reurl.cc/7eLR2l Munich's mayor, Dieter Reiter, issued an ultimatum on Friday, requiring conductor Valery Gergiev to denounce the "brutal war of aggression that Putin is waging against Ukraine" before February 28, or be dismissed as the principal conductor of the Munich Philharmonic orchestra, three years before the expiration of his contract. 慕尼黑市長Dieter Reiter於2月25日向Valery Gergiev下達最後通牒，要求他在28日前就普丁入侵烏克蘭一事表達譴責 The Russian maestro did not react, leading the mayor to officially announce the conductor's dismissal on Tuesday. 由於Valery Gergiev未予回應，慕尼黑市政府在1日確定解職其慕尼黑愛樂首席指揮職務 "Munich has parted ways with chief conductor Valery Gergiev. With immediate effect, there will be no further concerts by the Munich Philharmonic under his direction," Reiter said in a press statement. Dieter Reiter表示，慕尼黑愛樂自此與Valery Gergiev分道揚鑣，未來不再有他帶領的音樂會 "I would have expected him to reconsider and revise his very positive assessment of the Russian ruler. He didn't," Reiter added. "In the current situation, however, a clear signal for the orchestra, its audience, the public and city politics would have been essential in order to be able to continue working together." Dieter Reiter表示，原本希望Valery Gergiev能夠改變他對普丁的力挺態度，但是他沒有，而基於當前情勢，市政府需要向各界清楚表明立場 "Long-standing support for Vladimir Putin" Valery Gergiev, 68, was until now one of the world's most sought-after conductors. Valery Gergiev是世界讓最炙手可熱的指揮家之一 Even though he will no longer lead the Munich Philharmonic, he remains the general director and artistic director of the prestigious Mariinsky Theater and artistic director of the White Nights Festival in Saint Petersburg. Valery Gergiev依然是馬林斯基劇院藝術總監 His close ties to Putin have been an ongoing source of controversy throughout the past decade. Valery Gergiev與普丁的親密關係在過去幾年來一直受到批評 He declared his loyalty to the Russian president regarding the annexation of Crimea, and took part in concerts in bombarded Palmyra alongside the Syrian army. Gay rights activists had pressured him to denounce the Russian leader's homophobic laws in 2013; his reaction was deemed unsatisfactory. Valery Gergiev曾表態支持普丁併吞克里米亞，並與敘利亞政府軍合辦音樂會 Beyond the Munich Philharmonic position, a number of international concerts that were to be conducted by Gergiev have been canceled. New York's Carnegie Hall was the first to dismiss the Russian maestro, indicating on Friday that he would be dropped from a series of performances planned at the concert hall. Similarly, La Scala in Milan had also required the conductor to publicly appeal for a "peaceful solution" to the conflict, stating it would otherwise cut short his engagement conducting Tchaikovsky's "The Queen of Spades," scheduled for early March. Gergiev's reaction never came. "I think we can rule him out at this stage," Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala told reporters on Monday. Valery Gergiev還遭到紐約卡內基音樂廳取消接下來的演奏會，米蘭史卡拉劇院也下過類似慕尼黑的最後通牒，由於Valery Gergiev同樣未予回應，其歌劇「黑桃皇后」可能將被取消 -- Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand. For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. Yeats "The Stolen Child" --
