阿道夫.馮.漢塞特 / 漢斯.馮.布隆薩特:鋼琴協奏曲

瑞典室內管弦樂團

 

在錄製過三張獨奏專輯之後, 鋼琴演奏名家魏保羅和麥可.柯林斯指揮的瑞典室內管弦樂團帶給我們被遺忘的兩首浪漫時期的協奏曲. 在孟德爾頌的指揮下由克拉拉.舒曼首演, 阿道夫.馮.漢塞特的F小調鋼琴協奏曲終於被十九和二十世紀最偉大的演奏名家表演. 即使有高昂的旋律和柔和的抒情詩意, 多采多姿了管弦配器, 戲劇性般的強度橫跨三個樂章和令人驚豔的鋼琴寫作創意與才華等明顯特質, 但是此作品卻莫名其妙地從這個曲目類別中消失. 漢塞特的協奏曲與拉赫曼尼諾夫的一些作品的類似程度可歸因於這位德國作曲家對這位俄羅斯作曲家產生深遠的影響力. 漢斯.馮.布隆薩特的升F小調鋼琴協奏曲並未同樣的受到大眾的讚賞, 雖然它是交替的激勵人心的, 或是親密的, 或是令人興奮的. 豐富的管弦樂配器搭配異常精彩的鋼琴部分實際上就是精湛技巧的典範. 具有浪漫時期晚期的氣息, 一位獨奏家如果想要表現得熱情飛揚, 就得無顧忌地擁抱此作品超級浪漫的語言.

 

Paul Wee performs two neglected Romantic concertos

 

After three solo recordings, virtuoso pianist Paul Wee brings us two forgotten concertos from the Romantic period with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Michael Collins. Premièred by Clara Schumann under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn, Adolph von Henselt's Concerto in F minor was eventually performed by the greatest virtuosos of the 19th and 20th centuries. It has, however, inexplicably disappeared from the repertoire despite its obvious qualities: soaring melodies and tender lyricism, colourful orchestration, dramatic intensity across its three movements and piano writing of astounding inventiveness and brilliance. The familiarity between Henselt's concerto and some of Sergei Rachmaninov's works can be explained by the profound influence that the German composer exerted on the Russian. Hans von Bronsart's Concerto in F sharp minor did not enjoy the same public acclaim, although it is rousing, intimate and electrifying in turns. The richness of its orchestration is matched by an uncommonly brilliant piano part that is a model of practical virtuosity. Breathing late-Romanticism, it requires a soloist to embrace its superheated Romantic language unashamedly if its passions are to take flight.
