柏林愛樂英國管演奏家多明尼克.沃倫韋伯談到他的樂器時說:＂英國管需要一種柔和, 圓潤的顫音… 我們是那些能讓人感動落淚的人之一＂. 讓我們不要被謙虛的行為和沒有讚美的文章和光鮮亮麗的照片所誤導, 沃倫韋伯是世界最好的英國管演奏家之一. 沃倫韋伯從1993年起就與柏林愛樂合作, 團員們在這錄音專輯中一直陪伴著他. 在賽門·拉圖爵士(Sir Simon Rattle)的指揮下, 樂團在西貝流士美妙的音詩(黃泉的天鵝)中伴奏著沃倫韋伯. 在一張專屬於英國管的專輯中很難想像若沒有德佛札克(新世界交響曲)的慢板樂章, 或是華格納(崔斯坦與伊索德)中的獨奏曲會是如何. 在另一方面, 巴哈的G大調協奏曲和舒伯特的第三首即興曲可能會是令人意料之外, 而尚.法朗賽(Jean Francaix)的四重奏肯定會讓人為之精神一振. 如果您喜愛英國管獨特的深色天鵝絨般的音色, 但通常只能在交響曲作品的大畫布上看到如寶石般的微光, 那這張專輯絕對適合您. 而對那些尚未發掘英國管的美妙的人毫無疑問的會欣賞真正精通此樂器的大師設計的音樂節目.
＂The English horn needs a soft, round vibrato ... We are among those who can move people to tears,＂ says Dominik Wollenweber about his instrument. Let us not be misled by the humble conduct, and the absence of laudatory articles and glossy photographs. Wollenweber is one of the world's finest cor anglais players. Claudio Abbado has even labelled him the ＂best player of all time＂. Since 1993, Dominik Wollenweber has been with the Berliner Philharmoniker, members of which keep him company throughout the present recording. Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, the orchestra accompany Wollenweber in Sibelius's wonderful tone poem The Swan of Tuonela. It is difficult to imagine an album dedicated to the English horn without the Largo from Dvorak's New World Symphony or without the solo from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. On the other hand, Bach's Concerto in G major and Schubert's Impromptu No. 3 may come as a surprise, while Jean Françaix's Quartet is simply bound to lift the listener's spirit. If you love the English horn's singularly dark velvety colour, which otherwise can only be heard rather as a gleam of a gem stone on the large canvases of symphonic pieces, then this album is definitely for you. And those who have yet to discover the beauty of the cor anglais will undoubtedly savour the musical menu drawn up by a true master of the instrument.
An irresistibly lovely tone. The English horn in the hands of a true master.
