伊瑟．史密絲/克拉拉．舒曼/艾美．畢琦:小提琴奏鳴曲
泰絲敏．里托 小提琴
約翰.里納翰 鋼琴
 

著名的小提琴家和Chandos廠牌專屬的藝術家泰斯敏．里托這次錄製的是三位女性作曲家的作品. 這三位作曲家的生涯有一些共同點但是因為女性音樂家的複雜生活而仍有不少顯著的差異.

克拉拉．舒曼, 伊瑟．史密絲夫人, 艾美．畢琦都來自鼓勵她們學習音樂的家庭, 但在要進入專業訓練和職業生涯時卻有不一樣程度的猶豫不決. 三人都受到舒曼和布拉姆斯的影響, 尤其是畢琦和史密絲, 兩人特別的喜愛旋律與主題概念的操作.

泰斯敏.里托以她平常的溫暖與靈巧的手用心的演奏三人的作品. 克拉拉舒曼最後的室內樂作品手稿(三首浪漫曲)註明是”給’鋼琴’與小提琴”演奏, 樂器名稱排序反映出這兩者之間相對複雜的關係, 浪漫曲中華麗的鋼琴炫技樂段(passagework)部分是由里托的長期合作夥伴約翰.里納翰彈奏.

The renowned violinist and exclusive Chandos artist Tasmin Little returns with a line-up of three women composers whose lives share some features but also significant differences that illustrate the complex lives of female musicians.

Clara Schumann, Dame Ethel Smyth, and Amy Beach all came from families that encouraged their musical interests but balked, in varying degrees, at professional training and engagement. All three composers draw on the influence of Robert Schumann and Brahms; Beach and Smyth, in particular, were fond of metrical and motivic manipulation.

Tasmin Little plays this music, so close to her heart, with her usual warmth and dexterity. The manuscript of Clara Schumann's final chamber work, Three Romances, declares it 'for piano and violin', an ordering reflected in the relative complexity of the parts, the florid passagework here played beautifully by Little's long-term collaborator, John Lenehan.
