请问迪卡新出的四相位录音合集值得入手吗？ [复制链接]

转打一篇1996年《高保真音响》杂志关于四相位的文章（作者陈小斌）：
                       浅淡DECCA的四相位录音
   近几年，音响技术的不断发展促进了现代录音水平的日益提高，这使得当代许多著名音乐家、乐团的精彩演出得以完美地记录和重放，给众多的音乐、音响爱好者，提供了极大的精神享受。
   数码录音技术也随着人们对音质更高的追求获得了长足的进步，其中经历了从16比特量化到20比特量化（甚至更高），从3D录音到4D录音的技术变化，加上最新推出的DVD多用途数字光盘系统，在数码音频规格上，又提出了大于20比特的量化及高于48K的取样频率，这将使数码音频的技术指标又产生一个新的飞跃，离记录重放真实的原声更进了一步。所有这些都使广大的听众能在自己的家中欣赏世界各地的艺术大师的精彩演出成为了现实。当然，也会有不少朋友对许多已经故去的音乐大师深感惋惜，为他们没有能赶上当今录音技术高度发达的年代而遗憾。但是，让广大发烧友感到欣慰的是：在大师们活跃的年代，仍有不少的唱片公司，用50年代中期开始发展起来的立体声录音手段，制作了大批宝贵的录音，使许多大师当年的风采得以永留人间。
   虽然受到当时LP唱片制片水准和音乐爱好者们所使用的器材水平的限制，有不少录音在那时并未引起人们的注意。但时隔多年之后，采用现代数码科技的最新成果对这些老录音重整加工出版的CD唱片，有许多却着实令广大的音乐、音响爱好者为之瞠目：其出色的演绎，精彩的录音，令许多现代录音的唱片也为之汗颜！
60年代，著名录音公司Mercury率先推出了“LivingPresenceLiving”系列唱片，令发烧界为之瞩目；随后RCA也不甘寂寞，以他们50、60年代一大批优秀录音为后盾，打出了“Living Stereo”这张王牌，使众多乐迷往往为之解囊；拥有一大批优秀录音的DG、EMI等公司以“大师原版”及“全位元立体声”为旗号，把他们母带库中的许多宝贝发掘出来并使之重见天日，获得了广泛的好评。
说到这里人们一定要问：一向以录音技术称雄天下的Decca公司难道会甘愿落伍吗？为满足广大乐迷的热切期望，Decca公司曾在去年出版了“古典之声”
即“The Classic Sound”系列唱片。其中的“火车头”、“西班牙”等唱片的HiFi音响效果使人们重新领略了60年代“迪卡之声”的风采。而今年初，Decca公司则再度出击，将其62年开发、曾轰动一时的4相位录音重整出版了CD唱片。第一批共15个品种，其中包括由斯托科夫斯指挥的“瓦格纳管弦乐曲集”、两张俄罗斯作品集，以及多拉蒂指挥的“勃依伦诗歌”、“基什中尉组曲”等多款优秀录音。朋友们一定都很关心什么叫4相位录音，它有什么技术特点？下面我就作个简单的介绍。
4相位发录音从字面上说是源于英文“Phase 4 Stereo”，即4相位立体声。但其实质上应该说和“相位”没有什么关系。有些朋友把它同四声道立体声联系起来，这也是一种误解。
早在50年代中期，双声道立体声录音技术开始进入实用阶段，给当时的录音工业带来了革命性的推动。双声道立体声系统所营造的宽阔音场，使听惯了单声道录音的人们感到耳目一新。然而，像Decca公司这样对新技术的开发抱有更大雄心的唱片公司则不满足于已有的成绩，它们致力于研究更新的立体声录音方式，以求在同行中能居于领先的地位，于是在1962年Decca公司宣布了它的4相位立体声录音技术。Decca公司自己解释说：该方式应称为第四聘阶段（或说第四代）立体声；之所以没有推出第二和第三，是说明了Decca公司要用这个“第四”来展现其欲领先世界录音界的雄心。
Decca公司把它形容为是“高保真重播艺术中一项极为新颖的戏剧化概念。”具体地说：它在录音时，允许乐队在摆位上有很大的自由度；而在话筒的设置上，则由以前传统的双话筒（或三话筒）立体声拾音改为复支话筒拾音。与此同时，Decca的音响工程师研究、开发了具有声像分配器（Panpot）并拥有多达20路输入的调音台。这样在录音过程中，通过不同的话筒的拾取的不同声部乐器的声音信号，就可以由录音师用声像分配器去自由地设置其各自的声像位置。加上辅助的人工混响系统，录音师可以把每支话筒所拾取的乐器（或乐器组）及人声的声像位置作前、后、左、右的移动；这种设置可以是传统的，也完全可以是随心所欲的。
例如在用传统的双话筒（或三话筒）的制式拾音时，一个管弦乐队的声像分布是确定的，即舞台上的乐队如何摆位，拾取并重放的声像位置只能是与其相对应的。而4相位的多话筒拾音方式，作为录音师则完全可以将原本处在乐队右后侧的小号的声像移到乐队的左后方，反之位于左边的乐器声像也可以移到右边，而前后排乐器的声像位置也可以相互颠倒，整个乐队的层次及音场的宽度和深度均可由录音师人为去调整；这给录音师的艺术再创造提供了很大的自由空间。
从双声道立体声的基本原理可知：4相位立体声录音的拾音及声像分配的机理属于强度差立体声的范畴，这种拾音方法在90年代勿今天早已得到普遍的应用。但在60年代初期，它还是一项新的技术。由于辅助话筒的应用，它可以使一些原本处在后排或离主话筒较远处的乐器的音色更为清晰、鲜明。并可通过人的调整，使音场比实际的更宽更深。但这种方式的录音往往要加入人工混响，所以空间感不如双话筒（或三话筒）拾音来的自然。可如果乐队本身各声部不够平衡的话，用这种方法可以调整出一个很平衡的音响效果，这又是双话筒（或三话筒）的拾音方法所无法做到的。由于4相位录音能够随心所欲地摆布录音时的声像分布及音场形态，可制造出某些特殊的音响及平衡效果，因此，在其发明之初，立即引起了当时对录音音响极感兴趣的指挥大师斯托科夫基的极大兴趣，他多次积极参与4相位录音工作，并亲自指出录音中要强调和突出的声部，指导录音师按照他所构想的音响效果会去完成作品的录音，他指挥录制的瓦格纳管弦乐曲集，俄罗斯管弦乐曲集等录音都给听众留下了深刻的印象。
笔者试听了Decca第一批发行的4相位CD唱片中几张有代表性的录音，其中斯托科夫斯指挥伦敦交响乐团演奏的瓦格纳的“女武神之骑”，体现了较典型的4相位录音的特点、弦乐清晰、质感突出、铜管明亮辉煌，定音鼓和大钗的纵深感好，乐队各声部层次清楚。和双话筒拾音比较，音场更为深阔，尤其是后排乐器的清晰度有明显改善，整体的音色更为鲜艳、夺目。但同时也可感觉到，小号、长号的声像向右后侧，有些拥挤，而圆号则过于偏左，使中间显得有些发“空”经过分析，我认为这是4相位录音的技术条件所限造成的。由于当时只有四轨的录音机，因此尽管调音台的输入可达20路，但仍只能缩编成四轨来记录。这时，如果用两个声轨去记录左、右主声道（或两个弦乐声部），则对于后排的打击乐和铜管，即便设置了较多的话筒，也只能分配到两个声道去记录。这样的四轨信号缩混成双声道时，如果声像分配过于偏向中间，则音场变窄；而为使音场展宽，只能把声像分配器（Panpot）展开，这时中间就出现了空调，而有些乐器的声像则偏向西边。如果这些不同的乐器都能用一条独立的声轨来记录，这个问题是不难解决的；可当时公仅有的四轨录音机确实制约了4相位录音在声像分配水平上的进一步提高。而在现代普遍应用的24轨、48轨录音机上，这些问题的解决是很容易的。
尽管如此，4相位录音在立体声录音技术的发展过程中确实起到承上启下的作用，为现代立体声录音奠定了基础，同时也为乐迷们留下了不少音乐大师的经典作品，这也正是使我们广大音乐、音响爱好者备感欣慰的事情。

        转打另一篇1998年9月号《现代音响技术》杂志关于四相位的文章
         原文《DECCA－声音奇迹的创造者》中的一小节（作者庄宏道）
                            魔幻“四相位”
    日积月累使得DECCA唱片的文化底蕴日趋浓郁，正如一瓶典藏几十年的上等威士忌一样，只要打开瓶盖，立即散发出醉人的洒香，令人屏息静气，心向往之。同样翻开DECCA的历史相册，经典录音Phase 4 Stereo系列唱片就是其中特别耀眼的一族。
全频段立体声录音技术发明之后，DECCA立即扩充其录音范围，从流行乐、爵士乐、轻音乐、跨界音乐（介于流行与古典之间）到歌剧、古典音乐都是收录的对象。鉴于DECCA长期的观点－什么样的音乐就要有什么样的声音与之匹配，针对古典乐团演奏的一些小品，轻量级作品，流行歌曲，爵士乐，电影音乐等方面内容的唱片录音，他们认为应该主要突出娱乐性、音效性、可听性。因此Phase 4 Stereo技术的应用正是为上述音乐内容服务的。
Phase 4 Stereo录音技术是DECCA独家开发的一帖“音响灵药”。它主要体现在刻意凸现的左右二侧极端音场定位距离与前、后方纵深感。是经过“美丽染色”后的产物。在录制时，DECCA将先前早已制作编辑好的录音母带经过特别定制的10路混音器以求得良好的分离度与声音厚度，这样一来，强劲的低频效果就显现出来了，乐器的结像似“胖”了不少。后期又换用20路混音器以求达到声音表现的极致。四相位录音的LP刚推向市场时，立即得到了音响迷的欢迎。为了适合不同层次的聆听需要，DECCA从1962年开始以四相位技术录音先期制作了情调音乐与Cross Over（跨界）音乐，从1964年起又专用于古典录音，至70年代初才告一段落。你可曾知道四相位LP在最初并不是以DECCA商标面市发行的。这里又要引出一段London牌子的小故事来。1947年DECCA决定将出口至美国、日本、南美（巴西、秘鲁、阿根廷）等国的LP冠以“London”
品牌标记，除了一方面是为了方便识别新唱片系列，另一原因是由于DECCA在美国纽约分公司拥有一个独立品牌冠名权，几番权衡，终以“London”为最终商标，仍沿用至今。作为DECCA的副牌，LONDON除了每年独立制作大量唱片之外，还专注于许多绝版唱片的翻录工作，只可惜国内尚无系列化的引进。尤其值得一提的是四相位录音LP在转制CD时获得极大的成功，丝毫没有“数码味”。当然，这种四相位声音的特点恐怕会被一般发烧友所诟病。因为一切都是“夸张”的。只要我们静下心想一想，市场上面的音响器材究竟是以Hi-End为主还是以绝大部分Mi-End，Low-End为多数，每一位音响爱好者所拥有的器材究竟又有多少属HI-END之列呢？其实，特别是在低价位段的音响系统上，四相位CD的声音表现是极其优异的，四相位本身的声音厚度与播放系统的损耗失真相抵消，原有的效果被恰如其分地表达出来。回过头来再想一想，你可曾在自己的系统上轻易播放出这样令人心醉神迷的低频效果吗？况且在思考这两个问题的时候，我们更应牢牢记住一个事实，那是60年代录音水准的产物。由于科技水准的限制，“四相位录音”肯定是有着历史局限的。写到这里不禁思绪万千，如果一张CD需要发烧友费尽千辛万苦才能发出“好声”，那么，要听音乐还真成了难事了。

自 从买了SACD播放机以后，我的SACD唱片数量一直在疯狂增加，只可惜品种还是远不如CD丰富，买来买去大多还是为了“音效”而非演绎。不过荷兰的PentaTone（中译“五音”）牌子是个例外，它是我迄今收藏最多也是对演绎最为满意的SACD，其原因大概在于它始终是我心目中Philips品牌的延续，它既秉持传统的唱片制作理念，又有上个世纪七八十年代Philips首创的“四相位”录音的大量库存母带作“镇山之宝”。我在文章标题里使用“高效”一词，意在双关，即高音效、高效率是也。

PentaTone的发片速度独占SACD唱片产业鳌头，仅仅五年不到，它的目录上已经罗列近200个品种，从单位价格上来说，这仍是一个需要小心对待的数字。面对PentaTone的诱惑而挣扎着捂住钱袋的状态似乎让我回到二十多年前省吃俭用购买CD的幸福时光，喜欢的东西得来不易只能使你加倍珍惜，于是，我总是很认真地聆听每一张到手的PentaTone，从未把它们用作背景音乐。此刻我的几个朋友已经开始指责我“流俗”了，因为每当他们和我一起听音乐时，我总是逼着他们安静地把一张PentaTone听完，而且随之讨论的全是有关音效的话题。

并非我不再关心作品的演绎和音乐性，而是听SACD首先面对的一定是音效问题，这种音效其实已经与从前的概念不可同日而语，也就是说SACD的音效正是对音乐性最直接的服务。之所以喋喋不休地赞美PentaTone，也是因为它录音的音乐性有着权威的说服力，随便举几个新产品的例子：包括莫扎特D大调第一圆号、G大调长笛、C大调双簧管和降B大调大管四首协奏曲的专辑（PTC 5186 079）集中展现莫扎特音乐无穷的想象力和创造力。来自阿姆斯特丹皇家音乐厅乐团各声部首席的独奏水准高超、修养深湛，无论是独奏家还是伴奏的乐团都以时尚风格传达出地道的音乐语汇。现代乐器特有的光泽质感辅之温暖而宽阔的音场，从未有任何同曲目录音如这张SACD令人愉悦。丹尼尔·考赞帕演奏的亨德尔管风琴协奏曲（PTC 5186 110）有着清新自然的流向和温暖流畅的音色，在整体上超过主流大厂牌的名版。就音乐塑造而言，乐音的流动性有机地抑制了亨德尔该类作品的仪式感和夸张浮华的因素，使优雅怡悦的气息贯穿始终。至于录音效果，恐怕已臻不可超越之境。雅诺夫斯基指挥美国匹兹堡交响乐团的勃拉姆斯第四交响曲（PTC 5186 309）可入数码录音以来最棒的勃拉姆斯交响曲录音之列，听过这张SACD的人无不想法寻找其他三首交响曲的录音。

PentaTone旗下有三位目前在乐坛炙手可热的青年指挥家，他们为音乐带来的追本溯源的态度和刻意求新的信念，在许多经典曲目的诠释上都能做到推陈出新。比如马克·阿尔布莱希特指挥斯特拉斯堡爱乐乐团的理查·施特劳斯专辑（PTC 5186 310）精神境界之高出人意表，他好像深谙演奏理查·施特劳斯交响诗的秘诀：快——他的音乐需要一种急迫感，《唐璜》就是很好的证明。当然，《梯尔的恶作剧》的精彩不仅在“快”，它的声部层次的细密和明朗直逼半个世纪前的托斯卡尼尼水准。还有现任伦敦爱乐乐团音乐指导的尤洛夫斯基指挥俄罗斯国家乐团演奏的柴可夫斯基的管弦乐作品（PTC 5186 330）使你不得不重新认识或评价柴可夫斯基，两首根据莎士比亚戏剧创作的幻想序曲《哈姆雷特》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》均使用原始版乐谱，但是音乐的结构设计和解读却是全新的，本来再熟悉不过的乐句突然变得面目全非，但是又那么有说服力，那么充满美感。更为年轻的指挥是意大利帅哥卡洛·庞蒂，他指挥俄罗斯国家乐团演奏的穆索尔斯基作品（PTC 5186 332）精彩纷呈，令人惊艳，每首曲子都张扬着天才的创造力。“展览会上的图画”果真栩栩如生，如临其境，声音的逼真效果像是电影大片的配乐。这张SACD的录音效果像是为不可靠或有问题的重放系统布下的陷阱，所以在听这张唱片体会不到上佳声音的人还是要首先检讨器材，这是我的经验之谈。

再谈两张RQR系列的老录音。RQR是“四相位录音重制”（Remastered Quadraphonic Recordings）的缩写，这个宝库里汇集着多位顶级大师的录音母带，事实证明它们对我的吸引力无比之大，能够以如此杰出的音效聆听诸如克利普斯、马祖尔、戴维斯、海丁克、格鲁米欧、谢林、阿劳、阿梅玲、卡巴耶等人的录音堪比奇迹再现。不过真正让我对比新旧有别开生面之感的是两张室内乐录音，一个是美艺三重奏团的勃拉姆斯三首钢琴四重奏（PTC 5186 151），一个是意大利四重奏团的贝多芬早期三首弦乐四重奏（PTC 5186 175）。美艺三重奏团的每个乐句都那么深情款款，音乐的美感扑面而来，动感呼之欲出，算得上室内乐录音的“满分”之作。从前人们总是遗憾意大利四重奏团的贝多芬录音有点枯干单薄，但是在“RQR”面前，还有谁能够挑剔音效问题呢？PentaTone的SACD终于还原了它的本来面目。

PentaTone“四相位”SACD虽好，可里面没有斯托科夫斯基，斯坦利布莱克。。。。。。迪卡何时能出四相位SACD呢

音响魔术师斯托科夫斯基+四相位录音=唱片绝对好声音。另外合集中的两张由电影配乐殿堂级大师伯纳德赫尔曼（非现在大片配乐人可比）亲自作曲并指挥重量级乐团演绎的《希区柯克精彩电影配乐》《科幻电影配乐》首首精彩百听不厌。与之相关的电影<迷魂记》《惊魂记》等也是常看常新。特别是<惊魂记》中的一段浴室杀人配乐绝无仅有简直是绝了。最近在澳洲雄辩系列里找到了他的两张双CD四相位录音，分别是（英国电影音乐选希区柯克精彩配乐）（科幻电影配乐，公民凯恩等）重了两张。可惜他的另一张（特雷诺瓦河战役）四相位唱片遍寻无着，这部二战经典电影也不好找，没有高清版本。

这套唱片对中国乐迷的一大亮点是四相位录音首次CD化的中国作品录音《黄河》ＬＰ封面是中国著名的出土文物马踏飞燕它也是中国旅游的标志图案。转一段网上旧文（decca唱片公司1974年出品的london四相位“音乐会系列”，编号spc21113。 英国压片。钢琴协奏曲《黄河》附莫扎特钢琴协奏曲№21。演奏是decca唱片公司老牌大师演奏家ilana vered。国家爱乐乐团协奏。指挥：elgar howarth。由于当时政治原因，发行很少。但是，一经面世立即引起了西方音乐爱好者的抢购。成为了解中国音乐的唯一指南，一时洛阳纸贵。若干年后，当时的监制和钢琴演奏大师，都相继回忆这段录音，其总谱都是经过中国政府审查通过的。这张LP以其出色的音效和精湛的演绎，数年后再次成为收藏者的热点。是西方LP有关中国音乐最高价的版本。无论欣赏和收藏都具有很高的价值）
