阿根廷女钢琴家玛尔塔.阿格里奇(Martha Argerich)，无需过多介绍。1957年，16岁时在意大利波尔萨诺举行的布索尼国际钢琴比赛中获第一名，同年又在日内瓦国际钢琴比赛中获一等奖。1965年在华沙第七届国际肖邦钢琴比赛中获一等奖，波兰唱片公司在现场录制了她演奏的肖邦e小调钢琴协奏曲的唱片，在世界各地被抢购一空，令其名扬全球。只要是她的演奏会，音乐厅内便座无虚席，到处是鲜花和掌声，她录制的唱片也受到热烈欢迎。
集钢琴家、指挥家、作曲家于一身的普列特涅夫(Mikhail Pletnev)，精通7国语言。16岁被派往参加1973年巴黎国际青少年钢琴比赛，赢得了他的第一个冠军。参加1977年第五届全苏钢琴家比赛，和1978年第六届柴科夫斯基国际音乐比赛，荣获两项的钢琴一等奖。1990年苏联解体不久，已有10年指挥经验的普列特涅夫，在艰难中创建了俄罗斯国家乐团。
能把当今琴坛上的两位钢琴名家Pletnev和Argerich拉拢在一齐录音，看来只有DG公司才最有可能实现的了，因为两位都是DG旗下的签约艺员，这样的一个录音是一次难得的盛会，也是世界首度录音。Pletnev与Argerich都以高超的技巧而闻名，在《灰姑娘组曲》快乐章中，我们听到的是绝妙甚至叫人透不过气的合奏，那些梦境般充满炫目色彩及旋律的乐章中更令人迷醉。另一首《鹅妈妈》同样展示出了两位钢琴家超凡描绘及想象力。

2012年是鋼琴家顧爾德（Glenn Gould, 1932~1982）誕辰八十週年，同時也是逝世三十周年，為紀念這位在歷史上有著難以撼動地位的鋼琴家，索尼音樂特地將他的作品重新整理，有系統地分別以二十套專輯，以超值價位同時發行。一九三二年出生於加拿大多倫多，由母親啟蒙音樂教育，七歲開始演出，一九八二年逝世於多倫敦，顧爾德的傳奇故事始於一九五五年在美國演出巴哈的「郭德堡變奏曲」，驚動了樂壇，爾後他的一行一言皆受到高度關注，從公開現場演出時，椅子的高度、大熱天依舊穿著厚重大衣等種種異於常人的行為，到發表「現場音樂已死」的理論，三十一歲後便不再公開演出，專注於錄音室的作品錄製。他對巴哈作品的研究與獨樹一格的詮釋，無疑是「巴哈鍵盤作品最佳詮釋者」，後代無人能出其左右。他留下的所有錄音作品至今依舊暢銷，是古典樂壇恆久閃亮的一顆星，也是人類最重要的文化瑰寶。
巴哈的郭德堡變奏曲可以說是與顧爾德劃下等號的作品，他一共留下了三份郭德堡變奏曲的錄音，兩份是錄音室的作品、一份是他在薩爾茲堡的現場演奏。他讓這首曲目再度獲得世人喜愛，詮釋得精采生動，生意盎然的顧爾德，是一九五五年因為這首曲目一夕成名，從此一舉成為世人天下知的鋼琴怪傑；二十五年後他又再度進錄音室錄下此曲，再次紀錄經過歲月洗練，反覆琢磨下的看法詮釋。這套曲目絕對是第一步也是最直接認識這位鋼琴怪傑的途徑。

One of the most persistent questions that musicians ask themselves while practicing a piece is the inevitable query of how the composer himself might have performed his music. There are many written reports on how the old masters such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven may have played or improvised; and there are lines of teacher/pupil relationships which can trace their lineage back to the pianistic greats such as Liszt, but still we have to imagine the sound since we cannot actually hear it.

This changed in the 20th century with Edison's invention of the recording machine. Since then, several composers have left us an extensive catalogue of recorded performances, most notably Edward Elgar, Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten. Others like Olivier Messiaen, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and William Walton have left us significant, although limited, editions. All too many, however, have left us a mere fraction of their output and it was in an attempt to bring these recordings to the record-buying public that EMI Classics is releasing this Composers in Person boxed set. These 22 CDs offer a stunning range of modern composers performing their own works either on the piano, organ or violin, or else from behind the podium. The set includes greats such as Holst, Prokofiev, Messiaen, Shostakovich, Britten, and Stravinsky, along with lesser known but equally talented luminaries like Medtner, Roussel, Pfitzner, Widor, and more!

A fascinating study for musicians and musicologists, as well as an excitingly varied selection of modern music for collectors!

台灣的南管是從泉州傳來的，又稱南曲、弦管等，是極具特色的古老樂種，音樂分「指」：現有只供演奏而不唱的四十八套；「譜」：是一種清奏的套曲；「曲」：屬散曲式歌曲，以表達男女的離別與相思憂怨為多。本碟收錄皆為「曲」，由唱者執拍板，伴奏樂器採用「上四管」的絲竹樂器，包括琵琶、洞簫、二弦及三弦等。此碟演奏之南管團體為座落台南之「南聲社」，最早於1898年始於潮州，目前由自由之業餘藝人組成，不屬政府表演團體，由宗教團體贊助。主唱蔡小月之運聲技巧經過嚴格訓練，富感情、音域寬廣且音色乾淨，許多南管之曲在她執拍板唱來，更能讓人發思古之情懷。
