主题：历史今天:1935年小泽征尔出生(9.1)

Internationally acclaimed Japanese conductor, Seiji Ozawa, was born on September 1, 1935 to Japanese parents in the city of Shenyang, China, while it was under Japanese occupation. When his family returned to Japan in 1944, he began studying piano with Noboru Toyomasu, heavily studying the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. After graduating from the Seijo Junior High School in 1950, Ozawa sprained his finger in a rugby game. Unable to continue studying the piano, his teacher at the the Toho Gakuen School of Music (Hideo Saito), brought Ozawa to a life-changing performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, which ultimately shifted his musical focus from piano performance to conducting. Almost a decade after the sports injury, Ozawa won the first prize at the International Competition of Orchestra Conductors in Besancon, France.  His success in France led to an invitation by Charles Munch, then the music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, to attend the Berkshire Music Center (now the Tanglewood Music Center). In 1960, shortly after his arrival, Ozawa won the Koussevitzky Prize for outstanding student conductor, Tanglewood’s highest honor. Receiving a scholarship to study conducting with famous Austrian conductor, Herbert von Karajan, Ozawa moved to West Berlin. Under the tutelage of von Karajan, Ozawa caught the attention of prominent conductor, Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein then appointed him as assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic where he remained for the next four years.  While with the New York Philharmonic, he made his first professional concert appearance with the San Francisco Symphony in 1962.  In December 1962 Ozawa was involved in a controversy with the prestigious Japanese NHK Symphony Orchestra when certain players, unhappy with his style and personality, refused to play under him. Ozawa went on to conduct the rival Japan Philharmonic Orchestra instead. From 1964 to 1971, Seiji Ozawa served as the first music director of the Ravinia Festival, the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He was music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra from 1965 to 1970, and of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra from 1969 to 1976.

国际著名的日本指挥家小泽征尔，于1935年9月1日出生在当时被日本占领的中国沈阳然。当他的家人在1944年回到日本的时候，他开始跟登丰增学习钢琴，并大量研究巴赫的作品。1950年在成城初中毕业以后，小泽在橄榄球比赛中扭伤手指，无法继续学习钢琴，他在桐朋学园音乐学院（斋藤秀雄）的老师，给小泽带来令他的生活产生变化的贝多芬第五交响曲，最终使他的音乐重点从钢琴演奏转向指挥。在手指受伤的近10年后，小泽赢得了在法国贝桑松举办的管弦乐比赛第一名。他在法国的成功让他收到了当时担任波士顿交响乐团音乐总监的查尔斯蒙克的邀请，入主伯克希尔音乐中心（现为坦格乌德音乐中心）。 1960年，他到达后不久，小泽获得科乌谢维茨基优秀学生指挥奖，这是坦格乌德最的高荣誉。而后小泽接收奖学金赴西柏林跟随著名奥地利指挥与指挥——卡拉扬学习。在卡拉扬的引荐下，小泽又向著名的指挥家——伯恩斯坦学习。伯恩斯坦当时让小泽担任纽约爱乐乐团助理指挥，而小泽在纽约爱乐度过了接下来的四年时光。在与纽约爱乐合作期间，1960年他与旧金山交响乐团举办了他的首次职业音乐会。1962年12月小泽受到了著名的日本NHK交响乐团的非议，NHK对他的风格和个性不满并拒绝在他的发挥。小泽便执起了NHK的竞争对手——日本爱乐乐团的指挥棒。从1964年到1971年，小泽征尔担任的拉维尼亚音乐节的音乐总监。1965至1970年他担任多伦多交响乐团的音乐总监，1969年至1976年担任旧金山交响乐团的总监。
