Ulasan: VOICES 101 6-CD boxset

Apa? Ini bukan suara Faizal Tahir. Bukan Justin Bieber. Juga bukan Lady Gaga.

Ini adalah manipulasi suara elit. Menjerumuskan kita ke satu tahap naik syeikh yang bisa meruntun jiwa disebalik emosi yang disalurkan oleh penyanyinya. Ini semua berlaku tanpa kita mengetahui apa yang dinyanyikan.

Ah, dengarkan Nessun Dorma. Ia meremangkan bulu roma.

Teknik menjiwai sepenuhnya dengan pengawalan pitch suara dan kuantiti nafas yang perlu digunakan semasa menyanyikan setiap nota muzik, begitu mengasyikkan. Bahkan dalam banyak keadaan, mengerutkan dahi. Mampu juga manusia menyanyikan sebegini!

Mungkin hanya nama Pavarotti dan Mouskouri yang pernah didengar oleh kita tetapi nama itu tidak penting kerana untuk yang tidak arif, keupayaan setiap individu di dalam CD ini yang lebih penting.

Mungkin ini ciri muzik yang paling bertamadun? Muziknya pada satu kelas yang tinggi dan penontonnya menjiwainya dengan cara yang paling terhormat tanpa perlu terkinja-kinja dan menghangguk kepala seperti, contohnya, muzik Metal?

Apapun, muzik klasikal adalah satu kelas yang tersendiri. Elit. Dan bukan semua boleh menghargainya. Namun ia adalah muzik sepanjang zaman jika dilihat lamanya ia bertakhta di persada muzik dunia.
