不知不覺又到了藝術節的時候了.(其實昨天已經開始了.)
根據過往經驗,今年學乖了不敢那麼瘋狂.而且口味「專一」許多,選的都是音樂會,特別是鋼琴演奏:
3/1 - Mark Latimer Piano Recital - 可惜他手受傷了(對音樂家來說是天下最悲慘的事吧?)所以換了另外一位鋼琴家Leon McCawley.節目如下:
Chopin - Four Mazurkas, Op 6
Barber - Nocturne, Op 33, Homage to John Field
Chopin - Piano Sonata No 2 in B flat minor, Op 35
Barber - Four Excursions, Op 20
Chopin - Nocturne in C sharp minor, Op 27, No 1
Barber - Sonata for Piano, Op 26
(呃,Barber...)
原本是特別有意思的演出,因為:
Super virtuosic piano experienceLatimer不能來,好可惜呢.
March 1 - a very special day to remember
On March 1, 1810, Chopin was born.
On March 1, 2010, Mark Latimer celebrates the Romantic composer's 200th birthday with the rarely performed Allegro de Concert.
Protégé of the great John Ogdon, Latimer made his orchestral debut at age 16, performing two Brahms piano concertos. He loves the challenge of mastering the most difficult piano repertoire, giving worldwide exposure to neglected masterpieces and tackling all styles – from classical to jazz and experimental compositions – with panache.
This "British classical music's enfant terrible" (Time Out) will also play Bach's Italian Concerto and Alkan's answer to this Baroque masterpiece – Concerto for Solo Piano. First to record it in a live performance, Latimer will play this most demanding of all piano works in Hong Kong "like a bat out of hell" (The Independent).
3/6 - Cafe de Los Maestros
被譽為阿根廷的Buena Vista Social Club.超級期待的一場表演!會跟媽媽去看!
上次看的是有舞蹈的,這次是純音樂,但其實我應該會更喜歡這種.
3/26 - The Pianist
這是以邊說書邊彈琴的方式帶我們回到《鋼琴戰曲》的主角Wladyslaw Szpilman記載在自傳的世界去.(那部電影... 嗚~~~)鋼琴家Mihail Rudy也有被逼害的親身經歷(!),由他彈奏Chopin的曲子,加上由演員Peter Guinness扮演逃亡中的Szpilman,應該是很特別的吧.
不過這是不設劃位的,地點也頗特別.只是我未必能早去喎.有點擔心呢...
3/27 - Mikhail Rudy Piano Recital
來自俄羅斯的鋼琴家(也是之前那晚的那位)會帶給我們一個全俄羅斯作品的晚上.希望聽完之後不會覺得depressed啦.(鋼琴老師說俄風曲子,旋律不管之前是多麼的甜美,多麼的昂揚,總是會以下墜來終結,聽了總有滄涼、悲傷之意.)
*~我是毫無關係的分割線~*
昨天一早就看到這樣子.唉,怎麼今年的春天這麼早呢?到夏天之前都會這樣子嗎?嗚~~~
聽上去每個都超讚呢！！
ReplyDelete俄國音樂超美超優雅也很悲啦，去前先飲伏特加！立刻不會覺得depressed. :)
They all sound really great, but I'm especially drawn to The Pianist show. 邊說書邊彈琴的方式 is a novel idea indeed, I wonder if it's an actor just reading passages from Szpilmann's autobiography or maybe more re-enactment of particular scenes are involved? Hope the reading won't distract from the recital.
ReplyDeleteActually, that Argentinian "Buena Vista Social Club" sounds intriguing as well. Gosh, you're so lucky :D Pls let us know how they went afterwards.
cr: 希望節目本身也是很讚吧.有時候只是programme吸引而已.經常中招哦.
ReplyDeletevodka.. 恐怕還沒開始我已經醉醺醺的了 XD
snowdrops: it is very new to me as well, but i don't know how it'll turn out. i don't know if i'll have to pay a lot more attention to catch what's being told or read the subtitles (if there's any??). fingers crossed :)
as long as they can keep up the enthusiasm then it should be a very enjoyable evening XD because i (and probably most of the audience) won't be too familiar with the pieces, so if the interpretation/performance is off, i won't know.
don't you guys have even better programmes in europe??
i'll see if i have the energy to write sth up afterwards. hehe..
