白遼士:哈洛德在義大利/夏夜 塔碧亞．齊瑪曼 中提琴 羅斯 指揮 世紀交響樂團 Tabea Zimmermann / Roth / Berlioz: Harold en Italie & Les Nuits d'ete

音樂先鋒白遼士(1803 ~ 1869)

新的美學需要新的形式 – 是作曲家白遼士在這片的兩件作品中為自己設定的挑戰. 在(夏夜)中, 遠在馬勒和拉威爾之前, 他首創一種用聲音與管弦樂團演奏的聯篇歌曲. 在為大型管絃樂團與中提琴獨奏寫的(哈洛德在義大利)中, 他實驗以交響樂類型編寫. 這片的古樂器演奏由世紀樂團表演, 芳斯瓦-澤維爾.羅斯指揮, 塔碧亞．齊瑪曼演奏中提琴. 還有史蒂芬.德古演唱白遼士為男中音而寫的聲樂套曲.

A new aesthetic calls for new forms: such is the challenge the composer set for himself in the two works presented here. In Les Nuits d'ete, Berlioz pioneered, well before Mahler and Ravel, a song cycle for voice and orchestra. In Harold in Italy, scored for large orchestra and solo viola, he experimented with the symphonic genre. These period-instrument performances by Les Siecles, led by Francois-Xavier Roth, with violist Tabea Zimmermann, also feature Stephane Degout in the vocal cycle, heard here in the composer's own version for baritone.
