肖斯塔科维奇《降E大调第一大提琴协奏曲》
肖斯塔科维奇《降E大调第一大提琴协奏曲》是题献给罗斯特罗波维奇并由其首演的,肖斯塔克维奇比罗斯特罗波维奇年长21岁,两人即是师生关系(罗氏曾随肖氏学配器),又是志同道合的忘年之交。这部作品完成于1959年,最初是作为三个乐章的构想,但最终发展成了四个乐章的格局。原本附于第二乐章末尾的华彩乐段过于夸张,长度甚至超过了终曲,因此作曲家将其独立为一章。第一乐章的主题由独奏大提琴直接呈示,副部主题则带有斯拉夫风格的怪异色调。第二乐章的主题再现部分,大提琴独奏的泛音与钢片琴的对答,犹如来自天国的纯净而悲切的音调。第三乐章是第二乐章的自由延伸,音乐富于即兴性,是无拘无束的内心独白。第四乐章的主题素材来自格鲁吉亚民歌《素里柯》,但被变异为怪诞、锐利的性格,具有嘲讽意味。
德 彪 西《第一单簧管狂想曲》
《第一单簧管狂想曲》是法国作曲家克劳德·德彪西于1910年创作的一部单簧管独奏作品。这部作品在单簧管艺术史上占有重要地位,被誉为继莫扎特《A大调单簧管协奏曲》之后的又一座里程碑,将单簧管演奏艺术引入了一个全新的发展阶段。在这部作品中,德彪西展现了其对传统音乐的许多大胆革新,例如不和谐的音乐组成部分的运用,以及独特的和声和节奏处理,使音乐呈现出印象派画作中所体现的那种不断闪烁的强烈的色彩“视觉”效果。
武 满 彻
单簧管协奏曲《Fantasma》
武满彻(1930-1996),日本当代音乐巨匠,自学成才的先锋作曲家。其创作打破东西方音乐界限,以“音色美学”闻名,融合日本传统雅乐的空寂意境与西方现代技法。代表作《十一月的阶梯》将尺八、琵琶与管弦乐实验性对话,奠定其国际声誉。他擅用留白、微分音及自然意象,音乐如“深海之声”般神秘深邃,深刻影响20世纪音乐多元发展,被誉为东方现代主义的诗意代言人。单簧管协奏曲《Fantasma》是其晚期代表作之一,展现了作曲家对东西方音乐美学的深度探索与融合。该作品创作于1991年,受单簧管演奏家理查德·斯托诺兹曼(Richard Stoltzman)委约创作。该曲对独奏者的技巧与表现力要求极高,斯托诺兹曼曾评价其“需要同时驾驭精确的现代记谱与即兴的诗意表达。
