柴可夫斯基+1第三集 貝瑞．道格拉斯 鋼琴 Barry Douglas / Tchaikovsky Plus One Vol.3

柴可夫斯基+1(鋼琴獨奏曲)第三集/普羅高菲夫:羅密歐與茱麗葉組曲(鋼琴版)
貝瑞．道格拉斯 鋼琴

鋼琴家貝瑞．道格拉斯在他的向俄羅斯音樂致敬的第三集中, 他選擇了跨越柴可夫斯基大部份作曲生涯中一系列的情歌和舞曲. 從早期的浪漫曲,作品5, 到他最後鋼琴作品中的作品72中的兩首, 其中都有一致的歌唱品質, 每一首都有柴可夫斯基旋律天賦的強烈氣息. 雖然很多都是短短的作品, 但他們的確是大於'迷你作品', 傳達出重要情緒的廣度與深度. 這一集中'加一'的是在普羅高菲夫的表現形式下和他技巧精湛的改編他最出名的十首芭蕾舞曲 - 羅密歐與茱麗葉. 以鋼琴獨奏相當有限的調色盤(對比於完整的管弦樂團), 生動的捕捉住各個場景的色調和人物, 這真是一件傑出的成就, 而貝瑞．道格拉斯大膽的詮釋從頭到尾令人讚嘆.

For the third volume of his musical tribute to Russia, Barry Douglas has selected a range of love songs and dances by Tchaikovsky that span much of his composing life. From the early Romance, Op. 5 through to the two pieces from Op. 72, his last works for the piano, there is a uniform singing quality, each piece redolent with Tchaikovsky's gift for melody. Although many of these are relatively short pieces, they are certainly more than 'miniatures', conveying both breadth and depth of emotional substance. This volume's 'plus one' comes in the guise of Prokofiev and his virtuosic transcription of ten pieces from his best-known ballet, Romeo and Juliet. Vividly capturing the colour of scenes and characters with the relatively limited palette of the solo piano (compared to the full orchestra) is in itself an outstanding achievement, and Barry Douglas's fearless interpretation dazzles from start to finish.
