The Frigid Fingers Were Live, but the Music Wasn’t

It was not precisely lip-synching, but pretty close.
The somber, elegiac tones before President Obama’s oath of office at the inauguration on Tuesday came from the instruments of Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and two colleagues. But what the millions on the Mall and watching on television heard was in fact a recording, made two days earlier by the quartet and matched tone for tone by the musicians playing along.
The players and the inauguration organizing committee said the arrangement was necessary because of the extreme cold and wind during Tuesday’s ceremony. The conditions raised the possibility of broken piano strings, cracked instruments and wacky intonation minutes before the president’s swearing in (which had problems of its own).
“Truly, weather just made it impossible,” Carole Florman, a spokeswoman for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said on Thursday. “No one’s trying to fool anybody. This isn’t a matter of Milli Vanilli,” Ms. Florman added, referring to the pop band that was stripped of a 1989 Grammy because the duo did not sing on their album and lip-synched in concerts.
Ms. Florman said that the use of a recording was not disclosed beforehand but that the NBC producers handling the television pool were told of its likelihood the day before.
The network said it sent a note to pool members saying that the use of recordings in the musical numbers was possible. Inaugural musical performances are routinely recorded ahead of time for just such an eventuality, Ms. Florman said. The Marine Band and choruses, which performed throughout the ceremony, did not use a recording, she said.
“It’s not something we would announce, but it’s not something we would try to hide,” Ms. Florman said. “Frankly, it would never have occurred to me to announce it. The fact they were forced to perform to tape because of the weather did not seem relevant, nor would we want to draw attention away from what we believed the news is, that we were having a peaceful transition of power from one administration to the next.”
Anthony McGill, a principal clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera, and the pianist Gabriela Montero joined Mr. Ma and Mr. Perlman in “Air and Simple Gifts,” a piece written for the occasion by John Williams. While not all music critics agreed about the quality of the piece, some took note of the frigid circumstances for the performers. And the classical music world was heartened by the prominent place given to its field.
Mr. Perlman said the recording, which was made Sunday at the Marine Barracks in Washington, was used as a last resort.
“It would have been a disaster if we had done it any other way,” he said Thursday in a telephone interview. “This occasion’s got to be perfect. You can’t have any slip-ups.”
The musicians wore earpieces to hear the playback.
Performing along to recordings of oneself is a venerable practice, and it is usually accompanied by a whiff of critical disapproval. Famous practitioners since the Milli Vanilli affair include Ashlee Simpson, caught doing it on “Saturday Night Live,” and Luciano Pavarotti, discovered lip-synching during a concert in Modena, Italy. More recently, Chinese organizers superimposed the voice of a sweeter-singing little girl on that of a 9-year-old performer featured at the opening ceremony of last summer’s Olympic Games.
In the case of the inauguration, the musicians argued that the magnitude of the occasion and the harsh weather made the dubbing necessary and that there was no shame in it.
“I really wanted to do something that was absolutely physically and emotionally and, timing-wise, genuine,” Mr. Ma said. “We also knew we couldn’t have any technical or instrumental malfunction on that occasion. A broken string was not an option. It was wicked cold.”
Along with admiration for the musicians’ yeoman work in the cold, questions had swirled in the classical music world about whether Mr. Ma and Mr. Perlman would use their valuable cello and violin in the subfreezing weather. Both used modern instruments. Mr. Ma said he had considered using a hardy carbon-fiber cello, but rejected the idea to avoid distracting viewers with its unorthodox appearance.
“What we were there for,” he said, “was to really serve the moment.”

文章里不是说了麼,因为天气太冷,在这种情况下乐器可能损坏,才采取的播放录音,而且主办人也没有刻意掩饰这个事情。

从新中国成立开始,中国人的脚步一直是急匆匆地:“争分夺秒”地建设社会主义,“只争朝夕”地奔向共产主义。这样莽莽撞撞地奋斗了半个多世纪,其实人们一直在一个既不能左也不能右的圈子里打转转,一代又一代人的思维,从未突破党文化的禁锢,从未获得过起码的知情权。

在中国政府执政的这六十年里,整个党文化的基础就是造假,方方面面、各行各业地造假,为了让假的掩盖真的,只能用谎言来掩盖谎言,用假话来诠释假话,传播党文化的媒体不停地用假历史、假典型、假消息给国人洗脑,为中共的统治目的服务。

大跃进时期的“人有多大胆,地有多高产”的造假,尽管后果严重,但还属于短期造假行为,那些长期的,载入史册的超级造假,其危害更加深重。曾经被誉为“播种机”、“宣传队”的红军长征,后来说是造假,怎么算也没有走过二万五千里;曾经出现在小学生课本里的大地主刘文彩、黄世仁、周扒皮,后来说是造假,其实他们都是善良的好人;曾经是几代人的光辉典范——雷锋,后来说是造假,他也是时尚青年并不艰苦朴素;曾经屹立在神坛上的毛泽东,后来说是造假,他最终因江青是反革命,而沦为中国最有讽刺意味的反革命家属……历数党文化设计出来的典型,曾经欺骗了几代中国人,然而骗局一经揭穿,官方却总是轻描淡写,一副事不关己的样子,好像未曾远去的岁月就是一个笑话,不必追究,无需负责,政府不过是在“逗你玩”。

抗美援朝、珍宝岛事件、中越自卫反击战,新中国之后的这几个战役,到底有多少真实性可言?这些夸大其词,号称取得了“伟大胜利”的战斗,事后不立纪念碑,没有纪念馆,更无背景资料可查,老百姓永远不会知道真相,而中国的愤青们只能在谎言中畸形扭曲,分不清到底是爱国还是爱党。

三年自然灾害,是中国历史上惨痛的一笔,中国人还来不及淡化饥饿的恐怖,就被推入文化大革命的旷世劫难,历经十年,当这个巨大的伤口还在滴血的时候,中国人又跌进经济变革的大时代。过去的转瞬即逝,无人过问,无人纪念,仅有的烈士陵园被城市扩建工程所吞没,无论多少艰难岁月,顷刻间灰飞烟灭,干净到中国人的独生子们,连一点历史的血腥味都闻不到。

改革开放是造假行为的新机遇,假药、假酒、假名牌,假冒伪劣成为中国经济的中坚力量,一直到三鹿毒奶粉事件,中国登峰造极的造假终于在世界舞台上彻底曝光。面对全世界的指责,北京政府依然是“脸不变色,心不跳”,一如既往地不道歉、不承担责任、不许老百姓说“不”。即使遭遇不能自圆其说的尴尬,党文化的喉舌仍旧拼命地鼓噪,仿佛中国人在党的领导下,超过欧洲,战胜美国,俯视着整个地球,生活在无以伦比的幸福之中,简直就是全世界最幸运的国家,最幸福的人民!

“下级骗上级,地方骗中央”,是中共从建国之初开创的风气,用谎言堆积起来的党文化,导致中国的造假愈演愈烈,弥天大谎越来越多,腐败越来越严重。党文化让中国几代人,先从政治上习惯中共的统治模式,然后对不服管教的少数人,采用劳改、劳教、刑讯的方式加以制裁,达到杀一儆百的震慑。封锁网络、打击异议人士、监控媒体都是为了维持假象的手段,目的让国人只能听一种声音,有一种思维,因此目前的中国,是党文化控制的中国,不可能有真正意义上的人权和民主。所谓中国政府正在转变的论调,只不过是党文化维持假象的遮羞布。

有知情权,才有明辨是非的能力,摧毁一切虚假的欺骗,才能知道善恶,什么时候中国的媒体突破了党文化的束缚,将真相还给人民,那时的中国人才有可能反思,才有机会祭奠历史的创痛,才可能在思想上得到真正意义上的解放。

1月24日国家统计局公布了四季度和12月份经济数据。主要有:
   
     12 月份:房价12月:-0.4%;全年:6.5%;CPI12月:1.2%;全年:5.9%;PPI12月-1.1%:;全年:6.9%;GDP四季度: 6.8%;全年:9.0%;投资172291亿,增速25.5%;消费108488亿,增速21.6%;出口12 月:-2.8%;全年:17.2%;货币M2:17.8%;M1:9.06%;信贷12月:15倍;全年:18.76%;外储余额1.95万略下降; 2008年GDP增长9.0% CPI为5.9%。

   
    粗看数据,有几个存疑惑需补充数据。
   
    1)有国外记者问12月份和四季度GDP总额,但没有。增速数字有了而无具体总额数字,很奇怪的,增速理应是从总额中推算出来的,应先有总额数据。莫非是按全年保9倒推的?
   
    2)有记者问,商业消费增长21%远超人均收入增幅8%,为什么。回答是居民消费还有以往储蓄额。
   
    问题是,我们的商业消费增长从未低于20%之下多少,20年来大多如此,而收入增长从未超过10%多少,不仅仅是个别月份如此。呵呵
   
    3)工业增加值(PPI)是:10月份是8.2%(6.6%),11月份是5.4%(2%),12月份5.7%(-1.1%),四季度CPI月环比降幅更大。且从未公布10月份和11月份的GDP数据,从中国以往推算,GDP增速都远小于工业增加值,比如前些年工业增加值超20%时支持GDP10%左右。
   
    但四季度平均GDP是6.8%,与月均值接近,这需要农业、服务业的增加值增速也必须7%之上,即比第三季度翻数倍。
   
    4)未公布行业分类数据,可以分析是哪些行业12月份环比有大幅增长。
   
    5)根据2008年全国电力工业统计快报,2008年:
   
    第一产业用电量增速同比1.85%,第二产业3.83%,第三产业9.67%,生活用电11.83%,合计同比全年增速5.23%。
   
    6)12月份CPI为1.2%,环比下滑50%。12月份是冬季,粮食、蔬菜、肉类等价格都有所回升,而我们的CPI是不包含房价等的,不清楚是什么价格大幅下滑不仅对冲了权重很高的食品类,还把CPI大幅拉下。
   
    呵呵,数据间有逻辑关系的,大家仔细分析一下。我估计已公布的2008年全国电力工业统计数据要大幅“修正”了。
   
    另外,强烈要求发布会中,央视、人民日报和新华网等记者别提问,老问些重读稿子的问题,明显是在拖时间。
