The Guitar Times:你平时听什么音乐？
What music do you listen to?
David Russell:目前，我听钢琴曲和室内乐。主要是这两种音乐形式的保留曲目实在是太多太精彩了。尽管钢琴与吉他有很大不同，但是它们之间也是有很多的联系，它们所使用的技巧都比较明确。而同样的技巧问题在大提琴和小提琴以及歌唱上，对于吉他演奏者来说就比较难接受。在我的旅行过程中，会听很多的吉他音乐会，因为这些旅行经常是参加吉他音乐节，而我也需要参加我的朋友们的音乐会，我会去听其他所有人的音乐会。当我们到一个城市时，我和我的太太就会一起去听音乐会。我对很多种音乐都感兴趣，一般有什么我们就听什么，我都会喜欢。
Now, I am listening to piano music, chamber music...
Just because they have such a fabulous repertoire. Although the piano is very different from the guitar, there is a kind of relationship, there are certain interpretative techniques that we can use. Whereas it is much more difficult for us to use what the violinist or the cellist, or the singer does.
When I travel, I often hear many guitar concerts, because often I'm in a festival and I need to listen to my friends and colleagues, so I go to hear everyone else. When we go in a city, me and my wife, we go to concerts. It depends what's on... I'm pretty omnivorous. I will take what comes, and I enjoy everything.
我的确是不大喜欢摇滚乐，但我并不反对这种音乐，实际上我居住在伦敦的时候，经常与朋友们一起去听摇滚乐演出，但是我现在不去了。如果我坐在车里，我更愿意听点早年间的摇滚乐或是古典音乐。那才是我最喜欢的，也是我一直喜欢的。
I don't really like Rock music, I have nothing against it, I used to go to Rock concerts with my friends in London, but I don't go now, really. If I sit in the car, I tend to listen to older folk music or classical music. That's what I enjoy most, what I have always enjoyed.
如果我要录音，或是要对某种音乐做一些研究发掘工作，那么我倾向于听上面提到的音乐。因此，去年我就听了很多苏格兰音乐和爱尔兰音乐。通过这些我们可以掌握他们是如何表现音乐的，可以从中学习到很多东西。但是这是针对专业的音乐人来说的，而非针对音乐爱好者。
If I'm making a record, or if I'm developing a programme that has one kind of orientation, I tend to listen to a lot of that kind of music. So, of course, last year I've listened to lots of Scottish and Irish music. It's to try to see how they did that music, and try to learn from them. But that is more like a professional endeavour, that's not as a music lover.
The Guitar Times:对你来说有没有一张意义特殊的唱片？
Is there a special recording that is important for you?
David Russell:这几乎每年都在改变。我以前从来不听贝多芬的钢琴奏鸣曲，原因是它们听起来声音太厚重了，但是现在我有了新的HIFI音响，当我再放这些音乐时，真是棒极了。
It changes every year... I never used to listen to Beethoven's piano Sonatas, because it seemed kind of heavy, but now I've got this new stereo system and I put them on again, and it's fantastic. That was something I was almost blind to that now I'm enjoying.
我正在改编巴洛克时期为键盘乐器而写的音乐，于是我买来了所有这方面的唱片，我喜欢这样。
Just now, I'm transcribing Baroque music for keyboard. So I bought all these records of Couperin, Rameau... I'm enjoying that kind of things.
我有一些Dinu Lipatti的非常精彩的录音，我喜欢听这些录音，比较起其他的钢琴演奏家来说，可能他的演奏有些过时，但是我的确是非常喜欢。
I have some Dinu Lipatti records which are fantastic, I love listening to them -maybe in comparison to other pianists he might seem a little old-fashioned, but I really enjoy that.
有时候你听一张唱片太多，就会不喜欢了，于是你不再听这张唱片，或是说这张唱片对与你来说就没有什么可特别的了。我一度很喜欢小提琴家Heifetz的演奏，因此我收藏了不少Heifetz的老唱片，这些唱片能够让我回想起住在伦敦的那段时间，我偶尔会放这些唱片，但是不会专门坐在那里听，我更喜欢我新买的唱片。
Sometimes you listen to a record a lot, and it kind of dies on you, you stop liking it, or it's not special anymore.
I used to love Heifetz, the violinist, so I have lots of old records of Heifetz, in some ways it reminds me of my time living in London, I put it on once in a while, but I don't like to actually just sit and listen to it, I prefer some of my new records.
绝对地说哪张唱片最精彩可能比较困难，因为事情总在不断变化着。最近，我又找到了一张唱片，其中有一首叫做“sinfonietta”的乐曲极其出色。我经常听，但是它也会慢慢发生变化，半年后我也会对它失去兴趣的。
It's difficult for me to isolate, because it does change. Recently, I just got a record with a piece of Janacek called "Sinfonietta" which is fabulous. I put it on very often, but it will change -I will get fed up with it in six months.
