向巴哈致敬(改編無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲BWV1001/BWV1003/BWV1005)
布羅茲基四重奏
給小提琴獨奏的六首奏鳴曲和組曲被廣泛的認為是巴哈當作曲家和全部小提琴曲目成就的高峰之一. 布羅茲基四重奏用這張新專輯讓我們有 機會以全新的方式聽到這些傳奇音樂的一部份, 這是團員保羅.卡西迪(Paul Cassidy)改編其中三首奏鳴曲獨奏(BWV1001/1003/1005)給弦樂四重奏的世界首錄. 在保羅寫給這個錄音計畫的筆記中說: "我每日的練習總是會花點時間在巴哈的'六首無低音伴奏的小提琴獨奏曲'. 我是個虔誠的人而這就是我的聖經. 正如同所有的'神聖'書的範例, 六首獨奏曲可被自由開放的接受各種詮釋, 但無論你用任何方式, 這些奇蹟似的作品是無止盡的淨化與豐富人的身心, 是一種心靈療傷的藥膏. 這些有挑戰性的樂譜充滿了多面向的特性, 其簡潔程度是一個令人歎為觀止的奇觀. 它們可以在不知不覺中從令人興奮的片刻中, 卻在下一刻轉化成心碎與悲慘."
The set of six sonatas and partitas for solo violin is widely regarded as one of the summits of Bach's output as a composer, and of the entire repertoire for the violin. With this new album the Brodsky Quartet give us the opportunity to hear some of this legendary music in an entirely new way, in these world-premiere recordings of Paul Cassidy's arrangements for string quartet of the three solo sonatas. Writing about this project, Paul notes: 'My daily practice invariably involves spending some time with Bach's 'Six Solos for Violin without Bass Accompaniment' (Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato). I am a devout being and these are my bible. As in the case of all 'holy' books, the six 'solos' open themselves to an infinite variety of interpretations, but whatever your approach, these miraculous pieces are endlessly cleansing and enriching for the body and soul, a balm for the spirit. Their challenging pages abound with multi-faceted characters whose succinct purity is a wonder to behold. They can move imperceptibly from being uplifting and euphoric one minute to heart-breaking and tragic the next.' |
