(黑膠)蕭邦: 圓舞曲全集
史帝芬.賀夫 鋼琴
史帝芬.賀夫對蕭邦的音樂始終有一種獨特的親密感，因而在他的演奏曲目當中，蕭邦總是佔有一席之地。先前的兩張蕭邦專輯(CDA67456、CDA67764)發行後，亦獲得外界極高的評價。賀夫幾乎可說是琴藝典雅、技巧粹煉、音樂素養深厚的代名詞，也由於他詮釋的蕭邦魅力過人、深刻洗練，逐漸成為全球知名鋼琴家。
蕭邦在出版的圓舞曲中，將這項廣受普羅大眾喜愛的舞曲形式，脫胎換骨昇華至更高的意境。未出版的部份雖然在複雜性上較為簡化，卻仍可看出其機智與優雅，這，不正剛好與賀夫的鋼琴特質一致？在成串律動強烈的圓舞曲之後，來上一首和緩抒情的降Ｅ大調夜曲作為收尾，更是讓這張專輯有畫龍點睛之效。帶有全新思維極具說服力的權威演出，這就是—史帝芬.賀夫！
Stephen Hough has a unique affinity for the music of Chopin, whose music has always been a central part of his repertoire. His earlier Chopin recordings for Hyperion garnered huge critical acclaim. Hough's name has become synonymous with pianistic elegance, flawless technique and immense musicianship and he has become globally renowned for his engaging and refined Chopin interpretations.
In his published Waltzes Chopin brought a new level of sophistication to this popular dance form. His unpublished Waltzes are generally less complex but display considerable wit and charm, qualities ideally suited to Hough's pianism.
These illuminating and compelling performances are not to be missed.
