Bach: Six Partitas, BWV 825-830 豆瓣 Spotify
9.6 (5 个评分) Andras Schiff 类型: 古典
发布日期 2009年9月7日 出版发行: ECM - NEW SERIES
Following last year’s completion of his highly-praised Beethoven cycle András Schiff returns to Bach with a superb interpretation of the six “Partitas”, recorded live in September 2007 at Neumarkt Reitstadl one of the best piano music venues in Eurpoe. The cycle, which in 1731 was the first group of works to be published by Bach himself, represents a unique stylistic synthesis of the suite form with a particular emphasis on most varied and imaginative opening movements. In his 1802 biography of Bach, Nikolaus Forkel famously wrote that “such splendid compositions for the clavier had not been seen or heard before… so brilliant, harmonious, expressive and constantly novel are they.” Compared to his London studio recording of 1983 this second rendering on disc demonstrates Schiff’s stylistic development towards more freedom, sonic depth and sheer pleasure of phrasing. The rather unorthodox sequence of partitas – 5 – 3 – 1 – 2 – 4 – 6 – draws an ascending line of keys leading from G major to e minor.

Book Description
Peter Wiliams approaches afresh the life and music of arguably the most studied of all composers, interpreting both Bach’s life by deconstructing his original Obituary in the light of new information, and his music by evaluating his priorities and irrepressible creative energy. How, though belonging to musical families on both his parents’ sides, did he come to possess so bewitching a sense of rhythm and melody, and a mastery of harmony that established nothing less than a norm in western culture? In considering that the works of a composer are his biography, the book's title 'A Life in Music' means both a life spent making music and one revealed in the music as we know it. A distinguished scholar and performer, Williams re-examines Bach’s life as an orphan and a family man, as an extraordinarily gifted composer and player, and an energetic and ambitious artist who never suffered fools gladly.
Review
"Peter Williams is a master of putting question marks where they belong. He is wise enough to admit that definite answers are rarely possible. Nevertheless, guided by the 1754 Obituary, he gives splendid food for thought with his penetrating insights and truly erudite suggestions." --Gustav Leonhardt
"Williams has created a well-rounded portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach that leavens erudition with entertaining turns of phrase.[...]Highly recommended for academic and music collections and for public libraries with a knowledgeable clientele." -- Library Journal
Early Recordings 1953-1966 / Fiorentino Edition Volume 4 豆瓣
Sergio Fiorentino 类型: 古典
发布日期 2016年4月29日 出版发行: Piano Classics
This is the fourth and last issue of the Piano Classics Fiorentino Edition, presenting the early recordings made between 1953 and 1966. Sergio Fiorentino (1927‐1998) was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, but remained largely unknown to the general public. His recordings show a stupendous virtuosity and command, and the natural understanding of an innate musical genius. Not for nothing did Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli call him “The only other pianist”. This 10‐CD set offers a wealth of repertoire, from magnificent Bach, barnstorming Beethoven, elegant and passionate Chopin, fantastic Schumann, robust Brahms and red‐hot Rachmaninov. The recordings were originally issued on the “Concert Artist” label . Sadly several of the master tapes have been lost, and the remastering of this set has been done with original LPs. Nevertheless the artistry of this wonderful pianist shines through every note!

专辑介绍:
提起巴赫的键盘曲《哥德堡变奏曲》,人们首先想起的多半是已故加拿大钢琴家古尔德(Glenn Gould)对它传奇性的演奏。就象这首变奏曲以主题开始,经过30个变奏后又以同样的主题结束一样,古尔德的录音生涯也从1955年录制《哥德堡变奏曲》开始,在1981年以再次录制这首曲子而结束,完成了一个生命的大循环. 很多人曾问过古尔德:“你最欣赏谁演奏的巴赫?”每一次古尔德的回答总是:“女钢琴家图雷克(Rosalyn Tureck,1914~)。”这个很陌生的名字是谁?恐怕知者不多。
有一种说法:《哥德堡变奏曲》是由古尔德首先推广开来的。其实并非如此。著名女羽管键琴演奏家兰多芙斯卡(Wanda Landowska,1879~1959)才是名副其实的先驱。正是她的演奏和1933年灌制的著名唱片使这首曲子逐渐传播开来,被钢琴家和大众所接受。图雷克也是最早演奏《哥德堡变奏曲》的钢琴家之一。早在30年代,她的音乐会曲目中就已包括了这首作品。那时,古尔德才刚刚降生呢!由于作品的原谱上很少有速度表情记号,留给演奏家们很大的自由发挥空间,所以各个演奏家的处理方式差别很大。从30年代至今,上百种唱片版本先后涌现,可见它受欢迎的程度。其中最著名的一直是兰多芙斯卡的两种羽管键琴版(EMI和RCA各一)、古尔德的两种版本(Sony)以及匈牙利钢琴家希夫的版本(DECCA)。
根据最早的巴赫传记《天才巴赫的一生及其作品》(弗克尔1802年出版)中的说法,《哥德堡变奏曲》是为身患失眠症的凯塞林克伯爵所作的,目的仅仅是为了帮助他消磨漫漫长夜,减轻失眠的痛苦。“哥德堡”是伯爵身边的羽管键琴演奏家的名字,也是巴赫的学生。变奏曲由一个主题及其30个变奏组成,在30个变奏之后,主题再现,圆满地完成一个循环。伯爵对这首曲子着了迷,慷慨地赐给巴赫100个金路易,相当于巴赫一年的工资。《哥德堡变奏曲》这个曲名并不是巴赫起的,而是传记作者弗克尔在巴赫死后起的。巴赫自己称它为“包括一首咏叹调及其变奏的键盘练习曲,为有两个键盘的羽管键琴而作”(现在一般都用钢琴演奏)。
这首作品看似平常的变奏曲,实际上却是精心安排的。它的变奏都建筑在主题(咏叹调)的32个小节的低音线上,这个数字正好是作品的段落总数(30段变奏加上首尾两段主题)。更奇妙的是,主题低音线上的音符数也是32个!在30个变奏中,大多数变奏的长度是30小节。第3、9、21、30变奏是其一半(16小节)。唯一的例外是第16变奏。这是一首47小节的法国式序曲。
以第16变奏为分界,30个变奏可分为两组。第二组明显比第一组复杂。也就是说音乐的进行渐趋复杂,直到最后骤然回到平静朴素的主题,给人“绚烂之极归于平淡”的奇妙感受。更奇妙的是,第3、第6、第9、第12变奏直到第27变奏,每隔3首就出现一首卡农(严格的对位模仿,合唱中常见的轮唱即为一例)。这些卡农的音程渐渐扩大,从同度卡农(第3变奏)直到9度卡农(第27变奏)。象这样精心构思的作品是极为少见的。穿插在这些卡农曲间的是一些较为自由的变奏,有的是技巧难度很大的双键盘曲,有的近似托卡塔,有的犹如小赋格曲(第10变奏),有的是舞曲风格(第4变奏是帕斯皮耶舞曲,第7变奏是吉格舞曲),有的是古协奏曲形式。第30变奏特别引人注目,它活象一个音乐玩笑,将两首民歌(“我好久没和你在一起”和“卷心菜和萝卜把我赶走”)的旋律和咏叹调主题交织在一起。
古尔德演奏的《哥德堡变奏曲》虽然魅力非凡,但不容否认,它带有明显的古尔德个人标记,并不是很纯净的巴赫风格。与之相比,美国女钢琴家图雷克的演绎显然更合巴赫的原意,难怪古尔德也对她大加赞赏。今年85岁的图雷克60多年来一直以演奏巴赫作品闻名,曾被著名乐评家哈罗德-勋伯格誉为“巴赫音乐的女大祭司”。很可惜,她以前的唱片都是小公司出版的,国内见不到,故此名气很小。事实上,她可能是钢琴家中录制《哥德堡变奏曲》次数最多的一个,也是演奏它时间最长的一个(长达60多年)。
和许多钢琴家一样,图雷克在晚年渐渐进入了更平静、更深邃的升华境界。每个音符、每个变奏都被她处理得异常清晰、端庄。由于她严格遵守巴赫的反复记号(很多钢琴家省略了反复部分),所以演奏时间也比绝大多数版本长。在敏感的指触、纯正的风格感中,我们丝毫感觉不出演奏家是位84岁的老人。这是稳重内敛、宁静致远的演绎。正如她本人所说:“我从不把这部作品当成炫人耳目的技巧表演。它是生命的体验”。现在就让我们聆听这位“巴赫音乐的女大祭司”、曾任纽约爱乐首位女指挥、朱利亚德学校教授的图雷克来演奏,在《哥德堡变奏曲》中体验生命的多姿多彩吧。(摘自视听技术,作者孙皓,有删节)

Many listeners and players are fascinated by Bach's Goldberg Variations. In this wideranging and searching study, Professor Williams, one of the leading Bach scholars of our time, helps them probe its depths and understand its uniqueness. He considers the work's historical origins, especially in relation to all Bach's Clavierubung volumes and late keyboard works, its musical agenda and its formal shape, and discusses significant performance issues. In the course of the book he poses a number of key questions. Why should such a work be written? Does the work have both a conceptual and a perceptual shape? What other music is likely to have influenced the Goldberg and to what extent is it trying to be encyclopedic? What is the canonic vocabulary? How have contemporaries or musicians from Beethoven to the present day seen this work and, above all, how has its mysterious beauty been created?

8.0 (5 个评分) Angela Hewitt 类型: 古典
发布日期 2000年4月11日 出版发行: Hyperion UK
'It is a remarkable achievement, arguably the best to appear on disc since Glenn Gould's second celebrated recording from 1981 ... [It] is the sheer technical command of her playing, coupled with such elegantly supple musicianship, that makes the performance so compelling ... Everything is right, everything is natural - this is Bach on the piano of the highest quality imaginable' (The Guardian)
'After five days of recording sessions last August, Angela Hewitt returned in the small hours of September 1 to give a complete "performance" for a few friends of the Bach's Aria with Diverse Variations. Fortunately, the engineers decided to keep the tapes rolling, for this, according to Hyperion's executive director, Ted Perry, is the "take" Hewitt and Hyperion decided to release. The resulting record is a miracle of music-making at its most instinctive and spontaneous. Even by Hewitt's exalted standards it is extraordinary: in the brilliant toccatas, she creates, with her amazing articulation, the illusion of the music being plucked by the modern piano's hammers; her virtuosity and joie de vivre in the fast variations - try 1, 14 and "the most dangerous of all the toccatas", No 20 - take the breath away. She also penetrates the heart of the great 13th and 25th variations without false romantic sentiment. The reprise of the Aria at the close - after a majestic variation 29 - is shattering. If you only buy one Bach album in this anniversary year, let it be this one. A desert-island disc!' (The Sunday Times)
'Outstanding...Hewitt's disc, exquisite artistry commingling with infectious exhilaration gives me the most pleasure' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Beautifully co-ordinated Bach playing, with all voices colourfully defined and spontaneity as a constant virtue. In my view, she has never made a better CD. Strongly recommended' (Gramophone)
'This is as fine a version of Bach's inventive Goldberg Variations as there is' (The Express)
'Hewitt is one of the very finest Bach interpreters around. She possesses all the mechanical skills needed to master the difficulties facing the soloist, but never loses sight of the humanity that is evident in every note ... Playing of the highest order, and one of the finest recordings of this work you're ever likely to hear' (The Scotsman)
'The most recent in a series of wonderfully compelling Bach recordings by pianist Angela Hewitt. She seems to do everything right ... simply one of the best piano versions available' --(Fanfare, USA)

美国钢琴家西蒙·黛娜史坦重返巴哈的怀抱,演奏巴哈键盘作品的基石之作。
西蒙·黛娜史坦的才华犹如过往的音乐女祭司,如兰道芙斯卡与海丝。
纽约时报表示:「在巴哈作品众多如林的诠释中,这是一个完全与众不同的声音」。
在西蒙·黛娜史坦(Simon Dinnerstein) 与歌手兼歌曲创作者提芙特·梅瑞特(Tift Merritt)合作「夜之歌」的音乐会与专辑之后,她重返演奏事业的根基,以及她之所以功成名就的巴哈键盘独奏作品。
来自纽约的钢琴家西蒙·黛娜史坦,早期她将自行筹措资金所录製的「巴哈:郭德堡变奏曲」寄到唱片公司,其天分才情因而被发掘。这份录音于二零零七年公开发行,获得美国告示牌古典榜的首周销售第一名,同年也获得纽约时报、洛杉矶时报与纽约客等媒体一致推崇为「年度最佳专辑」(Best of 2007)。
如今她再度返回演奏事业的根基,可以预期地将再创过往的佳绩。所演奏的曲目包括巴哈的「创意曲」(Invention)与「交响曲」(Sinfonia)。这些优美且广为人知的作品,一直以来都是古典乐迷的最爱,透过她的优异诠释,将让巴哈的作品更广为人知。她曾表示,记忆中,最早听过的巴哈作品便是「创意曲」。纽约时报表示:「在巴哈作品众多如林的诠释中,这是一个完全与众不同的声音」(An utterly distinctive voice in the forest of Bach interpretation)。
巴哈的「创意曲」与「交响曲」(就是一般所熟知的「三声部创意曲」)都是钢琴学习者的基础课程。同样的,大多数音乐学者在他们的理论教育的某个阶段,也都会学习到这两部作品。
史雷特杂志(Slate magazine)称:「她犹如过往的音乐女祭司,如兰道芙斯卡(Wanda Landowska)与海丝(Myra Hess)。」而时代杂志则称:她「捕捉到了新鲜与精巧」。西蒙·黛娜史坦热衷与学生、其父母与音乐学者交流,除了固有的粉丝群,也计画一系列的短片,以便与爱乐者有更多的接触。二零一四年一月开始到四月份之间,将在美国各地展开巴哈「创意曲」与「交响曲」的巡迴音乐会。
An Introduction to Bach Studies 豆瓣
作者: Daniel R. Melamed / Michael Marissen 出版社: Oxford University Press 1998 - 4
This volume is a guide to the resources and materials of Bach scholarship, both for the non-specialist wondering where to begin in the enormous literature on J.S. Bach, and for Bach specialists looking for a convenient and up-to-date survey of the field. It describes the tools of Bach research and how to use them, and suggests how to get started in such research by describing the principal areas of research and citing the essential literature on each piece and topic. Subjects covered include bibliographic tools of Bach research and sources of literature; Bach's family: Bach biographies; places Bach lived and worked; Bach's teaching; the liturgy; Bach source studies and the transmission of his music; repertory and editions; genres and individual vocal and instrumental works; the reception and analysis of Bach's music; and many others.
Interpreting Bach at the Keyboard (Clarendon Paperbacks) 豆瓣
作者: Paul Badura-Skoda 译者: Clayton, Alfred 出版社: Oxford University Press, USA 1995 - 8
The ever-increasing number of performances of Bach's music is a sign of its enduring vitality. Yet there exists a diversity of interpretation of a magnitude that probably applies to no other composer. Assessing the varying merits of these interpretational approaches, and getting to grips with the sources and documents on which they are based, can be extremely difficult for a modern performer. Paul Badura-Skoda, who has been studying and performing Bach's keyboard music for more than forty years, here presents a host of valuable new insights drawn from his deep knowledge of the sources and of the problems of interpretation. He looks in detail at the various aspects of Bach's music, providing chapters on rhythm, tempo, articulation, and dynamics. He also examines the instruments for which Bach's music was intended, and discusses interpretational issues arising from this, as well as problems of sonority. The second part of the book is devoted to a comprehensible discussion of ornamentation with a detailed examination of the signs and symbols used by Bach. This discussion is prompted not only by its central importance to baroque music in general, but also because the author believes so much of Bach's ornamentation in current performance practice is monotonous and fails to correspond to the baroque style at all. Sometimes contentious, always stimulating, Paul Badura-Skoda's text conveys a passion for an informed interpretation of Bach's music based upon a recognition and respect for Bach's musical and intellectual intentions. Copiously illustrated throughout with music examples, Interpreting Bach at the Keyboard will take its place as a standard work for all students and performers of Bach's keyboard music.
