3、 part,the response has been favorable,to say the least.“Hooray!At last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,a sober-sided classical-music critic。2009 年纽约交响乐团突然宣布聘用艾伦吉尔伯特为下一位乐曲指挥,从那时起一直到现在,这次任命都成为古典音乐界的话题。退一步说,从总体上看,反应还是不错的。如冷静的古典音乐评论家安东尼托姆西尼就这样写:从长时间来看,这次委命是英明的。One of the reasons why the appointment came as suc
4、h a surprise,however,is that Gilbert is comparatively little known.Even Tommasini,who had advocated Gilberts appointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him。”As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto b
5、een led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez,that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise。然而,这次任命还是令人意外。原因之一在于吉乐伯特名声相对较小。就连那时主张雇用吉尔伯特的托姆西尼,也称吉尔伯特其貌不扬,缺乏一位令人敬仰的指挥大师的气质。作为对这个很牛的管弦乐队(牛的表现:到目前为止一直被牛人领导着)下一任指挥家的描述,这种描述跟虚浮的赞扬一样,确实会令至少一部分泰晤士报的读者觉得愕然不解(让他们觉得不可思议)

7、rchestral music.All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf,or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes。就我的观点而言,我不知道吉尔伯特是不是一位伟大的指挥家,甚至连他是不是算好的指挥家也不敢确定。可以确信的是,虽然他演出了很多令人印象深刻的有趣的乐曲。然而,我不需要访问 Avery Fisher Hall(可能是纽约交响乐团所在地,即吉尔伯特表演之所),或者其他地方才能听到有趣的管弦乐。(作者意思是,不需要听吉尔伯特,到处可以听到有趣的
8、管弦乐。)我所做的,只需要到我的 CD 棚里去,随便打开我的电脑,从 ITUNES 上就可下载比那(当指吉尔伯特表演的)多得多的类似的音乐。Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point.For the time,attention,and money of the art-loving public,classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera hous
9、es,dance troupes,theater companies,and museums,but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century.There recordings are cheap,available everywhere,and very often much higher in artistic quality than todays live performances;moreover,they can be“consumed”at a

11、演场所进行竞争,还要在记录这些行为的媒介上竞争。记在唱片上的表演比现场表演更便宜,更易得,甚至质量更好。而且它们的消费时间地点可以任由听者选择。因此,这种唱片的广泛应用,给传统音乐会带来了生存危机。One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record.Gilberts own interest in new music has been widely noted:Alex Ross,a classical-musi
12、c critic,has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into“a markedly different,more vibrant organization。”But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely expanding the orchestras repertoire will not be enough.If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed,they must fi
13、rst change the relationship between Americas oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract。一个可能的应对方式(解决办法)是古典音乐表演者发明有吸引力的从唱片上听不到的曲子。吉尔伯特在新音乐方面投入了自己的兴趣,这已广被人知:如古典音乐评论家罗斯就把吉尔伯特描述成一个可以扭转交响乐方向的人,认为他把交响乐带进了一个明显不同的更有活力的天地。但是,这种“不同”的实质是什么呢仅仅扩展交响乐的节目是不够的。吉尔伯特和交响乐要想取得成功,必须首先改变美国旧的管弦乐和它们想吸引的新的听众之间的

18、running a company。”Broadcasting his ambition was“very much my decision,”McGee says.Within two weeks,he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group,which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.当列姆麦克杰八月份从美国银行任上离职时,他的解释确实令人意外。与通常会用的模糊理由不同的是,他直率地说,他离开是为了找一家公司当管
19、理者,而那是他一向就有的追求。他说,作出这一选择纯属个人原因。两周之内,他与哈佛财务服务集团的董事会实现了首次会谈,这一集团在 9 月 29 日聘他担任 CEO。McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run.It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations.And McGee isnt alone.In recent wee

21、gers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations。欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档!麦克杰说,他离开时并没有确定的目标,这使他得以思考自己究竟想管理什么样的公司。这同时也可以让他向外界展示自己的魄力。无独有偶(并不只有他才有这种雄心)。最近几周,雅芳公司和美国联邦快递公司的第二执行官都离开自己的公司,他们的解释都是想当 CEO。由于股东施压,董事会需要审查继承人方案,还没有被准许离开的这几位执行官肯定希望事情早点出来结果。商业环境复杂异常,这使得
22、高级经理人员不愿用模糊的声明来损害自己的名声。As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold,deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net.In the third quarter,CEO turnover was down 23%from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had,according to Liberum Research.As the economy picks
23、 up,opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders。随着经济开始出现复苏的迹象,这些希望离任者可能在还没有找到下家时就跳槽。根据“登记册”研究机构的报告,在第三季度,CEO 营业额从一年前开始下降了 23%,把那些紧跟在这些领导人身后的董事会也弄得神经兮兮。由于经济复苏,那些有抱负的领导人将大有机会。The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional.For years executives and headhunters have
24、adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached.Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I cant think of a single search Ive done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first。”欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档!放弃高级职位去
25、寻找更好的职位,这种决定是非同寻常的,过去可不常见。多年来,执行官和猎头们都坚持认为,最好的 CEO 候选人需要去挖别人的墙角才能得到(而不是那些主动离开原岗位的人)。某某猎头说,当董事会还没有委托我先去找一个还在任上的 CEO 时,我不能去考虑那些我在网上一搜就有的人。Those who jumped without a job havent always landed in top positions quickly.Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade ago,saying she wanted to be a CEO.It w
