阿尔弗雷德布伦德尔(AlfredBrendel)珍贵录音全集介绍
佚名 网络布伦德尔Brendel珍贵录音全集Complete Vox Turnabout and Vanguard(35CD)
专辑介绍:
阿尔弗雷德·布伦德尔是20世纪德奥钢琴学派承前启后的代表人物。他的演奏风格继承德奥体系的传统,注重乐曲结构和内在张力,以广博的知识、高超的技艺、丰富的想象力而见长。善于处理装饰音和华彩乐段,音色变化细腻,情感丰富深邃,对所品的诠释深刻完美,充分表现出“学者型”钢琴家的艺术特色。
布伦德尔的演奏深受菲舍尔-迪斯考的影响,早期以演奏李斯特的作品名噪一时,后期对舒伯特的作品有独到的演绎,被认为是当今最权威的舒伯特作品演奏专家。他演奏的舒伯特奏鸣曲自然是权威的诠释,他与克利夫兰四重奏团录制的《鳟鱼》是此曲最平衡的版本。此外,他演奏的贝多芬32首奏鸣曲也受乐坛好评。《乐思与回想》是他一生的经验总结,也是他对音乐艺术的又一贡献。
Brilliant Classics唱片在2008年发行了这套Brendel早期的一些录音全集,里面有很多少见而又珍贵的录音。

钢琴家简介:
Alfred Brendel,1931年出生于北莫拉维亚的维森堡。六岁时与查格列明德泽丽克上第一堂钢琴课,后来前往葛拉兹音乐院与鲁朵维卡。凡。坎恩学习钢琴,私下并与阿瑟。米希学习作曲。他在艾德温。费雪(大师班)、保罗。包姆加特纳及艾都华。史陶尔曼等人门下完成学业。1948年于葛拉兹第一次公开首演,1949年在布梭尼大赛中得奖。随后他展开欧洲巡演,1958年第一次在伦敦演出。他于1960到I963年间灌录贝多芬32首奏鸣曲(得到法国录音大赏)。1973年第一次在卡奈基音乐厅演出。1970年定居伦敦,同时巡回世界演出。除了音乐之外,他广泛的兴趣包括文学与视觉艺术。1976年他出版“音乐思考与后思考”,1990年出版“Music Sounded Out”。布伦德尔被认为是我们这一代居于领导地位诠释海顿、莫扎特、舒伯特、贝多芬及李斯特的钢琴家,他录制的舒伯特与贝多芬全集是国际上的指标。他是菲力普古典的独家签约艺术家,曾经录过数张范围从巴赫到荀伯格作品的得奖录音。

阿尔弗雷德。布伦德尔这位伟大、毫无疑问是今日音乐权威的钢琴家,他影响全世界的听者如何感觉与思考超过四十年。无数的音乐爱好者曾因他无数绝佳的阐释而启发他们对音乐的认知与了解,他们也将快乐地在未来继续仰赖这样的转化与丰富。布伦德尔就像缪斯女神最钟爱的弟子,他绝佳的阐释来自于他天赋里能够在演奏时调和最极端的诠释,或者持续不同极端之间丰富的张力、在表现力方面,他有一种特别的、忘我的意愿去尝试各种可能,而这也在他专业的研究中持续的带领他到最疏远的音乐风景中。也就是说:即使是最为人熟悉的乐谱,对他以及兴奋的观众来说也会变成是新的领域。 被强迫要下很快的决定,用新奇的方式修正细节。 而常常但因此推翻许多熟悉的思考与判断的标准。用稍微不同的名词来形容:在再创造的神奇时刻,布伦德尔这位熟练灵巧的分析者与谋略者用自我批评的态度夹审视他的工作,无意地发现自己成为浪漫的主角,被新的观点与光荣的声音震撼得哑口无言。但他当然不曾真的哑口无言:在充满至喜的时刻,他惊讶地听到自己说唱着一种新的、未知的语言。这就是通常被称为“灵感”的现象。
为了不使观众在征服音乐如此先锋的旅程中迷失,演奏者必须事先有完整的思考、对乐曲内容深入的研读、及文学与文化背景上的探讨,布伦德尔对乐曲与背景的内涵与美学的探讨如此深入热中,在钢琴演奏史上几乎没有人可以和他一样以知识来服务感情、以通用性来供应特殊性、以无限的时间来换取当下的时刻。勤勉刻苦与活力充沛的研读才能开启音乐经验的新领域。正因如此布伦德尔永远在研读,也大声的演奏出来。他仔细察看音乐声音中明显的文字、单独时刻与整个历史的关系,字里行间他发现那些常常唤起无可预料的元素,一首奏鸣曲、即兴曲、或幻想曲的真正命运都凭借着某些人飞舞的文字。只有当一个人能够完完整整的研究过整个音乐,熟悉到就好像自己的手背一样,在演奏时才可以在新的领域中经验它。 也就是用这种试验的能力才可以将对未知领域的确定安然地传达到听者的耳朵,钢琴家是通过音乐美丽与恐怖冲动的领航员,他的手引领我们穿过海顿奏鸣曲的陌生世界,或经历像断崖边上散步般的舒伯特即兴曲中的旋律起伏(布伦德尔曾经说舒伯特的音乐总是在幸福中隐含着威胁)。如果我们在布伦德尔的陪伴下转向海顿的钢琴奏鸣曲,只要听几个小节之后,我们就可以发现布伦德尔如何炽烈地、不自私地、甚至自我牺牲地进入(常常是将自己丢入)音乐形式的高度试验中,过去数十年来许多国际知名的演奏家尝试寻找海顿键盘乐中的讯息,但是一般说来大都集中在已知约一打奏鸣曲中的“卡农”。那些勤奋的艺术家们下功夫并录制所有值得被听到的奏鸣曲,但也许就是如此而已,关于主题与形式上全然的变、经常性波动的情境与特色、海顿典型的幽默与哀伤情绪的转、以及对即使有高超技巧的演奏家都是庞大的要求要有精微音色来完成歌唱般与具说服力的表达。 对一位演奏家来说是沉重的负担,而这些都需要有追求广博知识的野心,特别是海顿留下不只60首作品可被归类为奏鸣曲的事实。而布伦德尔经常系列性演出整组作品,但是在弹奏海顿时却有选择性,因为他想保护特别的曲目,甚至是冷僻的曲子,结果是从没有一个音曾受过疑虑:每一个瞬间心绪都在过去与未来的转换关系中被鲜明地描画。一种轻盈的流畅穿过微小生动描画的《铃》(相对于在放大变化结构的后期降E调奏鸣曲Hob.XVI:52,一阵几乎是贝多芬式的态度,在被撩拨到戏剧化狂热音高后紧邻出现下一个突然极慢且暗哑隆隆声的片段。布伦德尔表现这些对比时,很像他在莫扎特阴沉的C小调幻想曲中一样, 没有一点错误的犹豫或任何拘泥小节的痕迹。当海顿在音乐中暗示夜曲气氛时,布伦德尔已经引领我们走住舒曼幻想曲与夜曲的路上。 当阳光照在闪亮的D大调上时,海顿不再是永远可亲的纯真古典主义传送者,他也同时大胆的伸向未来。 一个浪漫化的印象派音乐家(或是印象化的浪漫派音乐家:语言本来就无法阐释所有的事情,所以整体的音乐表现无论选择强调哪一种元素都无所谓)。
重要的艺术家总是以他们能够想象自己进入创作状态的逼真之外,还有表现不同时代特质的能力受人赞赏。音乐上的直觉与移情在知识与良知准备上是密不可分的勇于接触海顿奏鸣曲或莫扎特诡异的C小调幻想曲的演奏者,会需要知道作曲时代的风俗习惯、作曲家的生活,或者也许是最重要的。 有某一个作品或整个形式的主要关键线索,就跟准备舒伯特的即兴曲或舒曼的幻想曲一样。在这种深入研究的领域中,布伦德尔是其它人的典范,虽然实际上的演奏里他从来没有让自己与任何历史化的宗派联合。“现代”钢琴-事实上现在已经是蛮老的乐器-一直都是他的媒介。邢并不表示在海顿终曲的骚乱或舒伯特的某一首即兴曲伴奏和弦的色调中他不会不自觉地在耳朵里听到大键琴银光闪亮的声音或早期古钢琴较重、斑点般的声音。所有这些及在作曲家的时代那些决定装饰音及反复段落传统的知识都在布伦德尔精妙或热情的“解读”中。我们听者不只是被邀请的客人:我们入神的在演出的时刻被拖曳进诠释过程中弥漫的当下,如同我们可以真正和他一起听到、弹奏古老、永恒的乐谱,和他一起并肩呼吸。布伦德尔在1997年独奏会的曲目中示范了他与海顿音乐的大胆交战。他将李斯特与布梭尼的曲子放在上半场,然后下半场以舒曼献给李斯特的C大调幻想曲Op.17开始,如此给观众浪漫时期前后复杂脉络的对照,但是音乐会并没有结束在舒曼崔斯坦一般迷人消逝的和声中:最后一首曲子是海顿的两个乐章奏鸣曲Hob.XVI:40!这一次海顿没有被当作开场曲来让观众就座、保守的赞同音乐史纪般的顺序,而是被当成节目中最重要的曲子,在许多程度上都是音乐反思与言论的高潮与顶点。布伦德尔略过海顿后期喜欢的,累积丰富珍品的重重级奏鸣曲,选择这个游走于天真与教、放松欢闹与活泼动力的独特曲子。
另一位作曲家舒伯特因为他无可怀疑的音乐道德被布伦德尔全力拥护。尤其是两组被称为“即兴曲”的作品似乎在布伦德尔很年轻时便与奏鸣曲一样掳获他的心,本就是完美的作品,也无疑它们的音乐价值可以永存。这些作品实际上已示范了舒伯特的所有技巧及不同情感的表达,布伦德尔的触键可以毫无阻碍地从轻柔转变成傲慢与戏剧性,他可以在中低强弱的范圜将钢琴演奏出不管或弦乐的效果,还有他发展出对器乐舞曲与歌很好的脉动感-这都注定他能够将表面上世俗的轻盈底下隐含的骚乱述说出来。布伦德尔曾为一些当代著名艺术歌曲演唱家伴奏,这意味着他了解舒伯特冬之旅与人际孤绝的寒凉之间的紧密连结,以及即使在即兴曲D.899与935一些开头的温柔旋律对话都能在他手下冻结。
舒曼的作品在布伦德尔漫长多姿的演奏生涯中一直扮演重要的角色。在他所有伟大的作品中,布伦德尔只保存了升F小调奏鸣曲Op.11、幽默曲Op.20、及戴维帮舞曲Op.6给后代子孙。如我说过,他之所以倾向舒曼起源于一种深深的、几乎是永不满足的对每一种旋绕的、秘语般事物的好奇。浪漫时期所有善与恶的精神都呈现在舒曼用音乐对E.T.A.霍夫曼、诺瓦立斯、或强。保罗等人书中内容与角色的演绎:它们将彼此拖进人类堕落的深渊,但又在转瞬间回旋向上,在光明中投向自己理想的形象。布伦德尔在这个不安的亲昵、片刻的暗示、及广大浩瀚的设计中如鱼得水。即使当舒曼音乐中沉重、幽魂般的动机像对黑夜致敬他仍在这里先知般确定的注下无以言喻的恳切,让钢琴成为阐释的工具。
