既然 Donjuan 朋友收有了超過三十款的 Brahms 小提琴協奏曲版本, 那就讓 Patzak 聊聊一些較罕有之版本吧! : )

一位台灣朋友寫著: “.....Szigeti 還有另一張同曲目PHILIPS(JP)發行...不是MONO滴感觸應該會更深，要不要試試？”

這一張日本版 Philips 的正價 CD, 恰好 Patzak 手上剛好就擁有. 那可是當年付出了高昂之金額而拿下的.

這個 Joseph Szigeti 專輯系列其實十分豐富, CD 封套是一樣之設計, 僅以不同顏色作識別, 樸實大方!

曲目如下:
Brahms Violin Concerto / London Symphony Orchestra / Herbert Menges Beethoven
Violin Concerto / London Symphony Orchestra / Antal Dorati
Prokofiev Violin Concerto / London Symphony Orchestra / Herbert Menges
Brahms Horn Trio in E flat / Sonata No.2 / Barrows, horn Horszowski, piano
Prokofiev Violin Sonatas No.1 & No.2 / Arthur Balsam , Piano
Stravinsky Duo Concertante / Roy Bogas, piano
Honegger/Webern/Debussy/Ives Sonatas / Roy Bogas, piano

其實 Joseph Szigeti 這些晚期錄音, 並非 Philips 原始之製作, 是來自鼎鼎大名的 Mercury 公司的! : )

Patzak強烈推薦眾樂友仔細看看這篇 "50 Years Living Presence: 1951-2001"-------Wilma Cozart Fine is Mercury , 便可清晰了解 Mercury 之威力! http://www.xs4all.nl/~rabruil/mercury.html

另一款較罕有之 Brahms 小提琴協奏曲版本, 那就要回到 Donjuan 朋友仍然在尋覓的 Arthur Grumiaux / Eduard van Beinum 版本了! : )

這是由 Philips 錄制和發行的, 時間是 1958 年 7 月 1-5 日, 地點是荷蘭的 Amsterdam, 樂隊嘛, 當然亦是 "他的" Concertgebouw Orchestra! http://classicalcdreview.com/evb.html Patzak 手上是一張 Philips 再版 LP , 編號是 6570 015 與 Arthur Grumiaux 後期的版本比較 ( New Philharmonia Orchestra / Colin Davis ), 同樣是採用了 Joachim 的華彩樂段, 全曲速度拿捏也相差不遠.

時間表列如下:
1/. Allegro non troppo (cadenza: Joseph Joachim) ( 21'40")( 22'35" )
2/. Adagio (8'40")(8'40")
3/. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco piu presto ( 7'45" )( 8'02" )

但 Eduard van Beinum 棒下的 Concertgebouw Orchestra, 乾淨利落, 嚴密緊湊, 無論弦樂或管樂 ( Adagio 開首樂節中該樂團首席雙簧管之演繹, 令人有不知人間何世之感!!!) 都遠優於這隊 New Philharmonia Orchestra ! Patzak 希望Donjuan 朋友可以快些覓得此片, 便可親自品味了! : )

與“Grumiaux 那甜而不膩之琴音”相似，Sarah Francis的管聲，亦是甜而不膩。

Sarah Francis曾師從 Pierre Pierlot，任皇家音樂學院教授，倫敦大鍵琴合奏團指揮。她生長在倫敦的一個音樂之家，父親（John Francis）是長笛手，母親（Millicent Silver）是著名的大鍵琴演奏者。

在 Hyperion CDH55080這張唱片，莫扎特那首協奏曲，Sarah Francis參照其長笛協奏曲，做了一些小改動，使之更接近小莫的風格。克羅默爾的2首，曲子極其出色，其演奏也是一點兒不含糊。她的管聲，音色清純、乾淨、歡暢，帶有輕快、優美的彈跳感，別有一番仙女下凡之風情。其吹奏，氣流不是很沖，但氣息細長，換氣十分自然，時機頗為合適（聽不到任何呼吸聲），口型、舌位、指法配合默契，控制力相當完美。 俺認為，克羅默爾的2首雙簧管協奏曲，聽起來似不遜於莫扎特的那首。此碟把這3曲放在一起，非常有見識，也相當合適。

Thanks Patzak's de????ion of Arthur Grumiaux / Eduard van Beinum' Brahms VCT. I definitely will look carefully to dig it out some day!

By the way, the link you porvided is wonderful, very in????ative! Gracious!

Patzak先生提到的“另一款較罕有之Brahms小提琴協奏曲版本, ”，即Arthur Grumiaux / Eduard van Beinum 版本，我正好手頭有，是我在1989年購買的一盤CrO磁帶，錄製的公司、樂隊、指揮的名字以及錄音地點與Patzak先生所言無二。質量非常好，但原來並不知道這是罕見版本，看來我揀了個便宜啊。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patzak (2003-03-28 11:04:53) No.17

Patzak 想對那張 Philips 日版 Joseph Szigeti 專輯 CD , 再作一些補充.

Brahms Violin Concerto / Joseph Szigeti / London Symphony Orchestra / Herbert Menges

錄製之時候及地點分別是 1959年3月, 倫敦.

唱片編號為 Philips 32CD-3040 Joseph Szigeti 的華彩樂段, 亦是採用 Joachim 的. 而全曲之時間亦較 Arthur Grumiaux 為長, 特別是其慢版樂章:
1/. Allegro non troppo (cadenza: Joseph Joachim) ( 22'45" )
2/. Adagio (9'51")
3/. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco piu presto ( 8'10" )

而值得再提一下就是指揮的英國指揮 Herbert Menges (1902-1972), 他來自一個充滿藝術氣氛的家庭, 父親和大姊都是著名的小提琴家, 特別是那位女士 Isolde Menges (1893-1976), 相信一些愛鑽研歷史小提琴家技藝的朋友不會陌生的. 她的有趣故事, 有空再聊. 先回到 Herbert Menges 身上: )

以往 Patzak 在搜集 LP 之時, 經常會收到 Herbert Menges 的唱片, 但出奇地, 所有作品都是一些協奏曲曲目的, 從未見過他有別的樂曲的錄音, 有趣嗎? 而與他合作的這個獨奏家名單, 是相當之星光熠熠的:

鋼琴 : Solomon , Byron Janis , Shura Cherkassky, Moura Lympany , Jacques Abram
弦樂: Joseph Szigeti , Paul Tortelier

其中與傳奇鋼琴家 Solomon 的製作, 最為樂迷之稱頌!

............Herbert Menges, conductor , pianist and composer, was born in Hove on 27 August 1902. He was educated at the Royal College of Music where he studied with Holst and Vaughan Williams. He became the leader of the Brighton Society of Symphonic Players. The group later became the Brighton Philharmonic Society. Menges also composed music and conducted for the Old Vic Theatre where he became music director in 1931. He wrote the music for all of Shakespeare's plays per????ed at the theatre. He died in London on 20 February 1972........

.........Herbert Menges (1902-72) falls into the "holiday orchestra" group because he founded the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra (later styled Southern Philharmonic) and directed it from 1925 to 1972, though he also conducted much in London theatres, notably at the Old Vic and Sadlers Wells and composed music for many of the Shakespeare plays put on at the ????er. His score for Gordon Daviot’s celebrated play Richard of Bordeaux was a delicate one, for just harp, flute and strings. He published some songs including Buckland Bells, The Little Seamstress and, with violin accompaniment, Silence, Beautiful Voice. He was one of many English composers to study at the RCM with Vaughan Williams and Holst..........

Patzak (2003-03-29 17:29:36) No.20

上面眾多小提琴家之中, Patzak 大膽說一句, "Korsakov" 恐怕沒有太多朋友會認識的. 他究底是誰? 而這張 Brahms Violin Concerto 唱片, 又有何來歷? : )

事實上, 雖然這是由 DGG 製作和出版, 但卻是一張發行量不大的唱片, 因為它只算是比利時 Queen Elisabeth Music Competition 的一項副產物.

年青的蘇聯小提琴手 Andrei Korsakov (1946-1991) 當年曾在這項賽事中獲獎, 所以這才有機會得到 DGG 青睞, 在西方灌錄和發行這張編號為 2538 323 的 LP. 而協奏的樂隊, 就是 Grand Orchestre Symphonique de la BRT (Radio Télévision Belge ) 和它的音樂總監 René Defossez . 因為 Patzak 手上收有少量 René Defossez 在 DGG 這個時期的 LP, 所以略知一些個中之因由!

而我們在下面這個位於荷蘭, 專售二手 LP 的網上商店 "Clean record shop", 就剛好可以見到這張荷蘭版 LP 的封套剪影! 眾友只要在 http://www.cleanrecord.com/ 鍵入 Brahms, 便可以搜索此唱片出來了.

下面是一些搜索回來, 有關 Korsakov 的生平和經歷資料:

========================

Andrei Korsakov (1946-1991)

The artistic director of "CONCERTINO" ( The ensemble of the Moscow State Philharmonic Society )

.................he was awarded the title of People's artist of the Russian Federation. and the Bruxelles E.Izai foundation medal. He was a prizewinner of international competitions: of Paganini in Genoa, in Montreal, of M.Longue and J.Tibot in Paris, of Queen Elizabeth in Bruxelles, of Tchaikovsky in Moscow.

"Korsakov's technique can be compared with that of Heifitz. He can do everything, but it's more amazing that it goes with surprising equanimity and absence of any pose.../"Telegraph", Holland/.

"Andrew Korsakov offered his interpretation of the Tchaikovsky concerto, that was fascinating from the very first to the very last notes. It was a ravishing concert" /"Gazette", Canada/.

"Andrew Korsakov turned his debut in Vienna into a real feast" /"Courier", Austria/.

"Andrew Korsakov is a genuine musician. Perfect attitude, wonderful style, staggering depth of the feeling"/ "Dernier Heure", Belgium/.

http://hometown.aol.com/moscowconcertino/myhomepage/tunes.html http://www.sungjulee.com/review/abroad/1980.htm

==========================================

Anyone here can tell me something about Andrei Korsakov, Russian violinist (1946-1991). I just found this 2nd hand Melodia CD 'Fantasias and Pieces for Violin'. His playing in Zimbalist's Fantasia on Rossini's Otello, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's amazing, sometimes (in the finale) futuristic Concert Tran????ion on Rossini's Il Barbiere, Tchaikovsky's op.42, 1 and 3, a.o. left me chained to my earphones. Is there anything available from Korsakov in 'normal' repertoire?

..............according to the liner notes from Russian CD 10010, Andrei Korsakov was a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory having studied with Boris Belenky and Leonid Kogan. He won a prizes while a student at a Paganini, Thibaud, and Montreal competitions and at the Tchaikovsky and Queen Elizabeth (Belgium) competitions after graduation. From 1981 until his death he was artistic director and first violinist of the Concertino Chamber Ensemble in Moscow and was on the faculty of the Moscow Conservatory. The Russian Disc contains the Khatchaturian Concert-Rhapsody in B-flat minor (no, this is not the Khatchaturian Violin Concerto), the Conus Violin Concerto, and the Frolov Concert Fantasy on themes from Porgy and Bess. I'd hardly describe these as "normal" repertoire, but there you have it.

Donjuan 朋友, 有關法蘭西女小提琴家 Michèle Auclair 之技藝, 請參看 Patzak 和樂友的一些舊帖: http://www.bh2000.net/bbs/all/result.php?boy=1+Auclair ============================================

Patzak (2002-03-11 11:08:57) No.7

女小提琴家 Michèle Auclair ( 1924- , 相信許多樂友未曾聽過她的琴藝. 但她1950 年在 Kurt W?ss 棒下拉奏的 Tchaikovsky Violin concerto , 是我多年來最合脾胃的演奏之一: 急驟而不狂野, 情深而不沉溺, 靜若處子, 動若脫兔, 既有纖幼溫柔, 又有雄邁豪情. 雖然後來 Michèle Auclair 曾替別的唱片公司, 重錄了兩次 Tchaikovsky Violin concerto , 但她這個 26 歲留下的 Remington R-199-20 錄音, 是無與倫比的.

我手上並非初版印製的版本, 今回得見此原裝正版, 心中的喜悅, 是難以言說的!!! http://www.xs4all.nl/~rabruil/remaucl.html

而上面文章亦提到 Michèle Auclair 曾在法國的唱片公司 Erato, 有一套Schubert's complete works for violin and piano, 彈鋼琴的是 Genevieve Joy-Dutilleux , 真希望以後有機會可以碰到這個錄音.

另外, 還有一個當年極具參考性的版本 : Igor Stravinsky's "L'histoire du soldat" ( 士兵的故事 ), 這是一張 VOX 老版唱片 PL 7960 , 合作者是法國殿堂級管樂大師 Fernand Oubradous 與及他的 Oubradous Chamber Orchestra. 這張甚具價值的唱片封套, 亦可以讓我們看到呢! : )

Patzak (2002-03-12 17:47:19) 共有0條回復

在昨天談過的法國女小提琴家 Michèle Auclair 的專頁, 發現一個不錯的銜接 "The World Violinist Links" : http://www2.osk.3web.ne.jp/%7Ewistaria/violinists.htm

雖然並不是最齊全的資料庫, 但一些較冷門的小提琴家, 亦可以看到. 推介給喜歡這方面題材的樂友. 我特別向您們推薦看看 Albert Spalding ( 1888-1953 ) 的專頁 http://www.netway.com/~martis/Albert_Spalding.htm

Luoshu (2002-09-17 22:39:00) No.3

關於這套Schubert的小提琴與鋼琴作品錄音，我很喜歡。首先是音樂本身好。我過去聽得不多，現在都有點奇怪，這麼美的作品何以錄音版本不多呢？至於演奏，我覺得很活潑，靈動。Auclair是巴黎音樂學院的教授，不知Genevieve Joy是不是也是。反正我覺得鋼琴伴奏得太美了，很多地方給我以Francois的感覺，但又比Francois要明朗。我覺得兩位演奏家把Schubert法國化了，不過我喜歡。

待續/嘿嘿---
