URegina Spektor.UJeff Hahne / Getty Izithombe Kudala-dala, inkwenkwezi ye-pop kwi-Broadway ityikitye into engahambanga kakuhle: ikhondo lomsebenzi kwiscids, okanye ibhidi engacetyiswanga kakubi yokuba semthethweni. UDonny Osmond uphanga nje ngokungakhathali njengoGaston Omhle kunye nesilwanyana . UDeborah Cox udada iitumato ezibolileyo kwi-craptastic kaFrank Wildhorn Jekyll kunye neHyde . UMadonna ubuliswe ngokuzamla kuDavid Mamet Ukukhawuleza-ukulima . Kodwa namhlanje, kunokwenzeka ukuba ubone uSara Bareilles engena kumdlalo wakhe ( Umncedisi ) ukuya kwi-ofisi yebhokisi, okanye uJosh Groban ebonisa ubungqina bakhe UNatasha, uPierre kunye noQeqesho olukhulu luka-1812 . Ngoku lithuba likaRegina Spektor ekukhanyeni. Hayi, imvumi-umbhali wengoma akaqambanga umculo kwaye akagigili kumdlalo ( IHadestown ?!). Ukusukela nge-20 ukuya ku-Juni nge-whimsical, emnyama, ekhohlisayo USpektor uya kuvela kwikhonsathi kwiLunt-Fontanne Theatre.
Ukusukela ngo-2001, uSpektor ukhuphe ii-albhamu ezisixhenxe ezibonisa iziphiwo zakhe ezizodwa zengoma kunye nezwi: ingoma ejija intliziyo yakho kumnwe wakhe omncinci ngaphambi kokuba ayikhuphe. Kwi-pop soprano etshayayo enakekela phakathi kwesilumko-intombazana encinci kunye ne-oracular gypsy, uSpektor ucula imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, amakhwenkwe amancinci atyebileyo, ukucoca ehlotyeni, amaphenyane abanjelwe kwimizobo, okanye amabango amabi malunga neLizwe elitsha (I-Trapper kunye neFurrier ukusuka ngo-2016 Sikhumbule ebomini ). Yenziwe yi-bouncy, imikhondo ye-earwormy enje Ukunyaniseka noSamson, iprofayili yakhe yafumana iqhuma lesizwe kwingoma yakhe yokuqhuba, Unexesha, I-Orenji nguMnyama oMnyama . (INetflix isandula ukukhupha ifayile ye- ukukhuthaza Ngexesha lokuvalelisa apho abalingisi befunda iingoma zakhe ezimnandi.)
Bhalisela iNcwadana yeendaba yoBugcisa
Uzalelwe eMoscow, uSpektor wafudukela eMelika kunye nabazali bakhe eneminyaka esithoba njengeembacu zonqulo nezopolitiko. Ngelo xesha, wayesele eneminyaka emibini kuqeqesho lwepiyano. Xa usapho lwayo luhleli eBronx, imfundo yomculo kaSpektor yaqhubeka, yamsa kwi-SUNY Purchase, emva koko eManhattan kwavula iimics nemivalo apho wayiqaqambisa khona ingoma yakhe. Imisebenzi yakhe ebalaseleyo zi-mini-masterpieces ze-melodic sleight-of-hand, iingoma ze-kaleidoscopic ezivusa ilahleko etyumkileyo kwaye themba ithemba emphefumlweni ofanayo. Umjongi Uthethe noSpektor malunga no-Broadway, umculo wejukebox kunye nesitalato sakhe esiseBronx.
Olunye unxulumano lwam endiluthandayo nomculo wakho luphulaphule IKitsch yaseSoviet Ngelixa ndihamba eSt. Umdlalo ogqibeleleyo we-iPod ukuya kwindawo. Kwakungo-2005.
Oo, kwakunjalo nangaphambi kokuba ndibuyele umva okokuqala!
Nantsi enye eyokuqala, ibala lakho le-Broadway! Ngaba ungumlandeli weBroadway?
Ndimele ukuthi, njengomntwana andizange ndiye ngokwenene kwimiboniso. Inokuthanani ngakumbi nabantu bam abafudukayo ngokubanzi. Kudala ndivota abantu kuba bendifuna ukwazi ngako. Okokuqala, iBroadway ngumkhwa obiza kakhulu ukuba nawo. Abanye abaphambukeli, oko kuyenza ingafikeleleki. Ikwalisiko laseMelika, kakhulu. Ke kuthatha abantu ixesha elithile ukuba bangene kuyo, ngokwenkcubeko.
Ukuvezwa kwam kwimimculo ye-Broadway yeza ngokukhethekileyo kwiKrisimesi kunye noDanny Kaye okanye uBing Crosby kwi IKrisimesi emhlophe. Ngenye ihlobo umama wathabatha umsebenzi wokuba ngumlawuli wezomculo kwinkampu. Ke mna nomntakwethu omncinci sinokuphuma eBronx ngehlobo, sifumane uhlobo oluthile kuthi. Kwaye senze lomculo, oh, ibiyintoni? Inayo, Nantoni na ayifunayo uLola, uLola uyayifumana.
Damn iYankees .
Ewe, Damn iYankees . Ndidlale inkosikazi, kwaye ndinayo le ngoma, iinyanga ezintandathu. Andinakukwazi ukudibana nomlinganiswa kuba ndingazi ngexesha le-baseball. Kwaye ndabona umculo weDisney: Intombazana encinci kwaye Aladdin . Ngokuqinisekileyo ndize kuyo ndivela kwicala lomdlalo bhanyabhanya ngaphezulu kwecala leqonga. Kwaye emva koko njengomntu okhulileyo, Hamilton yavuthela ingqondo yam, njengengqondo yomntu wonke. Kwaye ingqondo yam isabethwa nguloo mculo. Ndiyifumene ikhuthaza kakhulu.
Ndibheja ungathanda iSondheim.
Ngokwenyani, bendingena eSondheim. Ndisafumanisa izinto ezininzi.
Nge-Sondheim, kukho lo mhlaba we-spiky ngokweemvakalelo, inkanuko ejika idime ibe liqela, endihlala ndiziva ngeengoma zakho.
Ndimamele nje le ntetho imangalisayo uSondheim ayenze kwisitrato i-92 kwisithuba sama-70, abasandula ukubeka nje kwi-intanethi . Nabani na onomdla kwiingoma kunye nokubhalwa kwengoma kufuneka amamele. Kodwa kakhulu kakhulu yeqonga. Uninzi lwefilosofi kunye nemithetho yakhe inento yokwenza neengoma zomculo kunokuba ziingoma njengeengoma. UDylan akazukuwela phantsi kwento athetha ngayo.
Ke iingoma zakho, kwimizuzu emithathu okanye emihlanu, zinokuyichitha nje intliziyo yakho. Hayi ukugqithisa, kodwa iinkuni ezivela Oko Sakubonayo Kwizitulo Ezinexabiso eliphantsi , Undenza ndilile ngalo lonke ixesha. Ngaba unabantu abakuxelela ukuba iingoma zakho zibuchaphazele ubomi babo?
Ewe ndiyavuma. Uyasebenza, uyasebenza, uyasebenza. Uziva ukuba ufika ndaweni ithile, emva koko ngokungathandabuzekiyo uqala ukuziva ngathi, Owu, ubugcisa bam buyabila. Ndiyanya. Kwaye emva koko ndiza kuyithumela le miyalezo komnye umntu kwiqela lam. Kwaye baya kuthi, Ungayidlulisa le nto kuRegina. Okanye ngamanye amaxesha iileta zomzimba. Okanye abantu bayandimisa bayitsho ngesiqu. Kodwa ixabiseke kakhulu. Kwaye kuyakhuthaza kakhulu. Kuba kukwenza ucinge, Kulungile, kube luncedo komnye umntu. Kuyathuthuzela xa ujongene ne-abstract. Yinto eyiyo ubugcisa: Ukwenza ezi zinto zingaqhelekanga zithathwa kakhulu, kwaye uzive nzulu. Kuyamangalisa ngenene xa uqaphela, umntu othile uthe wabafumana ngeli xesha linzima ebomini babo. Okanye, badlala loo nto xa babehamba ezantsi. Okanye xa utatomkhulu wabo ebhubhile, bayidlala le ngoma kaninzi-ninzi.
Ngaba ukhona umvelisi ucebise ukuba enze i-jukebox yomculo kwikhathalogu yakho? Njengokuba benzile kuCarole King noCher?
Iyahlakesi. Ndakhe ndanazo ezo ngcamango ngaphambili. Kodwa ndifuna ukubhala uhlobo olutsha lweprojekthi. Kuba ndiyakuthanda ukukwazi ukuvelisa izinto ngokwam, kuya kufuneka ndiyenze ngokwam. Kwaye kuya kufuneka ukuba ibe ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya, ukuze ndikwazi ukurekhoda wonke umculo kwisitudiyo.
Ke akukho Mamma Mia! elundini phaya.
Ndiba neemvakalelo ezinamandla malunga nendlela endifuna izinto zenziwe ngayo. Ndibona njani umxholo weengoma. Njengoko ndiyayithanda loo nkuni yomlilo ayinalo ikhonkco elithile kwindawo ethile. Emva koko kufana, Oo, yingoma kaMalume uGary. Kubonakala kunzima ukubeka izinto kwiingoma, kuba kubonakala ngathi bafuna ukukhululeka.
Ukuzibandakanya kwi-Broadway, uyakube udlala ipiyano, ngokwendalo. Ngaba kuya kubakho ukungqinelana nomtya, okanye iokhestra?
Ewe, ndim kwipiyano. Kuza kubakho umntu obetha amagubu kunye nomdlali weengoma, uMathias Künzli. UBrad Whiteley kwiibhodi yezitshixo. Kwaye emva koko kuyakubakho umntu ocula iiseli, i-violinist, kunye ne-violist. Zonke iimvumi endikhe ndadlala nazo ngaphambili. Kwaye emva koko kuzakubakho iindwendwe ezikhethekileyo. Ndenza intsebenziswano nomdanisi wempompo omangalisayo ogama linguCaleb Teicher. Omnye wemidaniso uza kuba ngumdaniso weqabane kunye nabadanisi ababini. Kwaye uninzi lwevidiyo kunye nezibane zokukhanyisa, endingazange ndizame ngaphambili. Ke kuninzi okutsha koku.
Ngoburharha obumnyama kunye nefatalism kwiingoma zakho, ndiva uncwadi lwaseRussia. NjengoMikhail Bulgakov, Gogol, mhlawumbi noDostoyevsky. Ngaba ababhali bakho entlokweni yakho?
Uncwadi lwaseRussia, ngakumbi ngenkulungwane ye-19 neye-20, lwalunjalo nje, lunamandla. Kwaye ubugcisa ngokubanzi ukusukela ngelo xesha. Uncwadi kunye nomculo weklasikhi. Yindawo enjalo yomphefumlo. Kwaye ngeendlela ezininzi, indawo engaqondakaliyo. Njengomntu owayevela eRashiya, ndandisoloko ndizibuza ukuba kutheni le nto ingumntu onoburhalarhume emhlabeni. Ndicinga ukuba ezinye zezinto ezinokuba zinento yokwenza nokuba kukhulu kwaye kuyimfihlakalo kwaye kuguquguquke. Kwaye inomdla, inokuba ngenkohlakalo, inokunyaniseka ngokungaqhelekanga nothando. Kwaye zininzi nje izinto zizonke. Kwaye ke noncwadi lubonakalisa oko. Kwaye ngakumbi, ngokuhambelana noncwadi ngumbongo. Uyazi kakuhle, uPushkin ukwicandelo lakhe ngendlela efanayo noShakespeare. Ungumakhi wolwimi uqobo. NjengoShakespeare wanceda ekwakheni isiNgesi, noPushkin wanceda ekwakheni iRussia yanamhlanje.
Kwinyanga ephelileyo ubunesitalato esinegama emva kwakho, yinxalenye yeBronx Walk of Fame?
Ewe. Ndiyintombazana yaseBronxiest, eBronxy owakha wadibana nayo. Yayiyinto epholileyo, yonke inkqubo yokuya kwiBronx Ball kwaye umamele wonke umntu athetha. Kwaye ukubukela amatshantliziyo amangalisayo ezukiswa kwaye athethe amazwi abo amnandi. Ndazaliswa ziinkumbulo zokubonisa iBronx, ndingasazi isiNgesi. Utitshala wam wepiyano uSonia Vargas kunye nomyeni wakhe uSam, bahlala kufutshane nentaba ukusuka kuthi eBronx. Bandinika isipho somculo wam ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye wasweleka ngoNovemba. Kodwa kwakubaluleke kakhulu ukuba no-Sam apho. Kwaye, kwisithili saseBronx, ukumbulela ngokusesikweni ngobubele babo. Babenomoya endiwufumene kwiBronx, engabantu abanceda abantu. Uluntu olunothando ngenene, oludlamkileyo nolwahlukileyo.
Ke sithini isitalato sakho?
Kungoku I-161st kunye neGrand Concourse , kwaye izakubakhona unyaka. Kwaye emva koko ihamba nje ezantsi. Kodwa bathe ihlala kwiGrand Concourse ngokungagungqiyo, okanye kude kufike i-zombie apocalypse. Ke, ayizukuya naphi na.
