《贝隆夫人》(Evita)
Evita是阿根廷前总统贝隆的夫人，她出生贫寒，做过舞女和影视演员，成为贝隆夫人后，
为阿根廷的社会、劳工、医疗等方面均作出过卓越的贡献，逝世时年仅33岁。
贝隆夫人的传奇经历一向是剧作家非常感兴趣的题材，1976年，韦伯首先推出了由朱丽
叶·科文顿（Julie Covington）演唱的单曲《阿根廷别为我哭泣》（Don't cry for me Argent
ina)，随着这首歌的轰动，由寇姆韦尔金森加盟的唱片随即发行，而且不出意料地广受欢迎
。1978年，在万千音乐剧迷的企盼下，《贝隆夫人》在伦敦爱德华王子剧院正式上演，创下
了连演八年的惊人纪录。次年9月，它又登上了百老汇的舞台，拉开了英国音乐剧攻陷百老汇
的序幕。1996年由马当娜、班德拉斯和普莱斯主演的电影版本，其中移植了舞台剧的所有歌
曲。正如《万世巨星》被宗教人士认为贬低耶稣一样，这部电影由于描写了贝隆夫人早年的风
尘生涯，在开拍时就遭到了阿根廷群众的抗议和抵制，再加上导演挑选以性感出位的表演而闻
名的歌星马当娜来出演阿根廷的国母，更是屡遭非议。后来的事实证明，马当娜的演出风格并
不影响她对角色的精当把握，也无碍于她的艺术天分和敬业精神，尽管韦伯为适应马当娜的音
域特地把《阿根廷别为我哭泣》降了几度，马当娜的演唱丝毫无损这首名曲的表现力，她的演
绎自然贴切，歌声真切感人，不但在拍摄时感动了全体摄制组，还使了整个阿根廷完全接受了
马当娜扮演的这个角色，她获得当年金球奖最佳女主角实非侥幸。
奥康娜的歌迷曾宣称：听她的歌声是要跪着听的。虽然有些夸张。不过，从奥康娜开腔后的第一秒钟开始，那无穷的震撼力和感染力就会直入你的胸腔，将你的心牢牢抓紧。情到深处，你除了微微颤抖，任泪水湿润眼眶外，全身几乎动弹不得。想一想，这是怎样的一种神圣啊！
理查德·克莱德曼所改编与弹奏过的作品之中，电影主题曲一直是他的最爱之一。从一出道开始，理查德·克莱德曼对于经典老电影的动人旋律，始终爱不释手，这些曲子也是他前往各地演出时最耀眼的绿叶。理查德·克莱德曼擅长解析浪漫元素，他将这一首首脍炙人口的作品转化成他特有的音乐语言，让千千万万听众的内心洋溢着温暖，而这也是理查德·克莱德曼能风靡全球，成为“永远的钢琴王子”的本钱。
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down that hill
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina......
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think
of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know that every
word is true
