泽野弘之：夜曲

Rafal Blechacz’ recital of Chopin’s Polonaises will be welcomed by his large number of fans, who have eagerly awaited this release.
Blechacz’s way with Polonaises will be a landmark recording of this highly emotional, popular and poetic music. The recording will include seven Polonaises, one of which is the Polonaise No. 7 in A flat major, op. 61 “Polonaise Fantaisie”.
He is one of Deutsche Grammophon’s best-selling young artists – his stunning albums have sold more than 180,000 units worldwide.
His last album, featuring Debussy and Blechacz’s compatriot Szymanowski was named winner of the “Best Classical Album of the Year” at the Polish Fryderyk Awards and went Gold in his native country within a week of release in February 2012.

Fou Ts'ong is one of the greatest Chopin interpreters alive today, a prize-winner at the Fifth International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955, at which he also received the Polish Radio Prize for the best performance of mazurkas, eighteen of which he interprets on an original 'Chopinian' instrument on this disc. They date from different periods in the composer's oeuvre.

演奏家介绍
阿图尔·鲁宾斯坦是本世纪最伟大的钢琴家，也是本世纪钢琴演奏艺术中最有代表性的人物。鲁宾斯坦于1887年出生在波兰的华沙。他是一个波兰犹太商人的儿子，很小时便崭露了出众的音乐天才。他三岁开始学钢琴，四岁就登台公开演奏，被誉为“神童”。十岁时，他在柏林师从著名钢琴家卡尔·巴尔托。1905年，赴美举行了七十五场演奏会，在演奏厅里获得听众狂热的喝彩，取得了极大的成功，从此他便一跃成为世界著名的钢旁演奏家。1946年，鲁宾斯坦加入了美国籍。1956年在美国著名的卡内基音乐厅举行了五场音乐会，总共演奏了十七首协奏曲；1960年又在四十天内举厅了十场独奏音乐会，充分显示了他那雄厚的实力和精湛的演奏技巧。
鲁宾斯坦是一个非常全面的钢琴家，他对不同时代、不同国家的作曲家的作品都有着深刻的研究，并能将它们同样演奏得精彩绝伦。他拥有高超的技巧和惊人的记忆力，弹奏的音色明亮而华丽，速度极快，音符在他的手指下如同流水一般地奔泻而出。他弹奏肖邦的作品时，更加使人感到亲切动人，其缠绵婉转的美妙琴声，能将听众带到那充满诗情的田园意境中去。
鲁宾斯坦具有极强的读者能力，而且能够迅速地将乐谱背下来。他能够在一个晚会上一口气弹奏三至四部协奏曲，他那充沛的精力和惊人的才华使人们大为震惊，不得不为他那特殊的天才所叹服。鲁宾斯坦于1982年逝世，终年九十五岁。
