德弗札克/巴爾托克 - 灰燼中的火花 藝術歌曲集
尼基.史賓斯 男高音
狄倫.培瑞茲 鋼琴
Hailed by The Daily Telegraph as 'a voice of real distinction', Nicky Spence possesses unique skills as a singing actor and a rare honesty of musicianship, all of which has earned him a place at the top of the classical music profession. Admired in particular for his interpretation of the music of Janacek, he has appeared worldwide in the composer's operas. Performing here with the outstanding pianist Dylan Perez, he presents a varied programme of Czech and Slovak art song. Bela Bartok found his lifelong enthusiasm for folk music sparked whilst on holiday in Slovakia in 1904, when he heard a nursemaid singing. Village Scenes sets five folksongs from a large Slovakian collection published in 1915, and depicts various aspects of a country wedding. Jaroslav Kricka became a central figure in Czech musical life, occupying the posts of chorus master of the Czech Philharmonic and professor of composition at the Prague Conservatory, amongst others. His Three Fables are settings of traditional fairy tales. Vítezslava Kapralova was a composer of great promise who died of TB in 1940, aged just twenty-five. She studied conducting with Vaclav Talich and composition with Vítezslav Novak before moving to Paris where she was taught by Bohuslav Martinu. Her song cycle Sparks from Ashes deals with themes of love – found, flourishing, and lost – as do the eighteen numbers of Dvorak's song cycle Cypresses. Written by Kapralova four years later, the haunting Waving Farwell was inspired by having to leave Prague for her new life in Paris.
