我聽過Volodos的柴一現場(Tilson Thomas指揮舊金山交響樂團),排山倒海的聲勢,十分驚人。Encore曲,是土耳其進行曲變奏版...決不是錄音室剪接效果,唱片上那不知幾隻手的幻覺都是真的。
如果你覺得他只能彈彈炫技的曲子,那你就錯了。那張與柏林的Rachmaninov 第三號協奏曲附的小曲群,感人至深。 如同他在另一場Chicago獨奏會中所證明的,他的舒伯特,直接自然卻能深深碰觸到作品的核心,此等技藝是他同一世代同儕無法望及項背的。
Volodos的舞台魅力在於,大孩子般的質樸外在,真誠地展現他的自家之言,virtuosity,只是讓他可以用音樂暢所欲言的工具罷了。我企望他有朝一日能挑戰Prokofiev的鋼琴曲(尤其是我最愛的協奏曲),他應當很適合普氏作品裏天馬行空的幻想與豪氣。
Sony 之後,如果沒人與他談合約,將會是古典樂迷的重大損失。
I totally agree!
回覆刪除I've been in Volodos's performance twice. I forgot about the 2nd one. But his Rach 3 was so amazing (Eisenbach conducting CSO in Ravinia, I sat at the 8th raw in the pavilion)!
I also attended two of his concerts, one with SF orchestra, the other a recital. I must say, he is one of the best living (but often underrated) pianists.
回覆刪除Your reply reminds me of my "Chicago concert days".
I truly miss those great concert opportunities, great hall, top-of-the-line musicians. If you're still in Chicago, please seize the moment.
You're more than welcome to share your concert experiences here.
