人物特写：吴晓航和他的"循环呼吸演奏法"

在昆明交响乐团，有一支在中国的交响乐界颇有名气的银色长笛，它的演奏者，昆明交响乐团的第一位国家二级演员吴晓杭，以其罕有的循环呼吸演奏法而被国内同行艳羡。

所谓循环呼吸演奏法，要求演奏者在吹奏时保证音准、音色和声音穿透力的基础上，鼻子进气，嘴巴不歇气地连续演奏，保持乐句流畅。据了解，目前掌握这项极难的演奏技巧的演奏者在国内寥寥无几。

吴晓杭从小就喜欢民族乐器中的竹笛，后来又喜欢上了西洋乐器中的长笛。1983年，他进入上海音乐学院专门学习长笛演奏。在学习中，吴晓杭发现长笛演奏过程总是难以避免地发生"断气"，经过揣摩，他在中国民乐的唢呐吹奏手身上发现这个问题可以避免，然而，吹唢呐时音调一扬一抑，与长笛的演奏技巧大相径庭。吴晓杭便查阅了大量书籍，并不断与省外和国外的演奏家切磋，通过十多年来的潜心钻研，使循环呼吸演奏长笛的技巧日臻成熟。

就像长笛在交响乐队中永远代表了明亮不沉闷的色彩和青春的旋律一样，吴晓杭在自己的音乐道路上也一直不辍追求。眼下，他最想完成的一件事便是把云南有代表性的音乐整理改编成长笛曲目，通过自己的演绎使云南更多地为世界了解。
