在這張新專輯中, 史麥塔納三重奏選擇的三件作品是在僅僅數年間完成的, 但他們代表著三種不同的音樂世界. 阿倫斯基的鋼琴三重奏喚起了十九世紀時期的沙龍招待廳氣氛, 音樂演奏是為了娛樂聚集在沙龍的中產階級群眾. 齊姆林斯基在25歲時寫的作品紀錄著他追求與取得新的聲音與諧音. 知名演奏家兼作曲家拉赫曼尼諾夫一個樂章的三重奏是在他十九歲時寫的, 此曲充滿了高貴與悲傷氣質, 之後成為他名滿天下音樂的典型特點. 雖然阿倫斯基的短暫生命是因為內心的動盪不安而身體健康受損, 但齊姆林斯基和拉赫曼尼諾夫的經歷則是受到外在環境的影響 - 兩人在相距不到一年內, 在遠離他們家鄉的美國過世. 在此專輯中, 世界知名的史麥塔納三重奏以他們典型的活潑和熱情演奏三件十九世紀末期的傑出作品.
Smetana Trio:
Jitka Čechova – piano,
Radim Kresta – violin,
Jan Paleníček – cello
Recorded at the Martínek Studio, Prague, 23–25 October, 8, 9 and 13 December 2018.
The three pieces the Smetana Trio have selected for their new album came into being
within the range of a mere four years, yet they represent three different musical
universes. Anton Arensky’s piano trio evokes the atmosphere of the 19th-century salons,
where music was played to delight the gathered bourgeoisie company. The work
Alexander Zemlinsky created at the age of 25 marks the accession of the seeking of new
sound and harmony. The one-movement trio Sergei Rachmaninoff, a piano virtuoso and
composer rolled into one, wrote when hew was 19, teems with elegiac nobleness, which
would remain the quintessential trait of the future globetrotter’s music. And whereas
Arensky’s short life was marred by inner turmoil, the paths of Zemlinsky and Rachmaninoff
were affected by outer circumstances – both of them died within a year, far away from
their respective homelands, in the United States. With their typical vivacity and zest, the
internationally renowned Smetana Trio perform three remarkable compositions dating
from the late 19th century.
