鋼琴改編曲集 莫札特: 第20號鋼琴協奏曲(阿爾肯改編) / 貝多芬: 第三號交響曲(英雄)(李斯特改編) / 魏保羅 鋼琴 (SACD)
作曲家: Ludwig van Beethoven / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
演出者: Paul Wee
This recording brings together two of the greatest works of the Classical era in transcriptions for solo piano by two of the greatest pianist-composers of the Romantic era, resulting in two of the most thrilling experiences that nineteenth-century pianism has to offer.
Successfully marrying the unique characteristics of the piano to the defining features of Beethoven's orchestral writing, Franz Liszt is showed here at his most colouristic. He vividly captures the rapid scene shifts and mood changes of Beethoven's Eroica and exploits not only the piano's ability both to whisper and to roar, but also the power and intensity of silence. In Mozart's 20th piano concerto, Charles-Valentin Alkan takes on a different challenge as he masterfully weaves the orchestral and solo piano parts into a single tapestry that brims from start to finish with piano writing of startling inventiveness and originality.
These two pianistic tours de force are presented here by Paul Wee – also a barrister specialising in commercial law at Essex Court Chambers in London – whose astonishing technique and passion for nineteenth-century pianism have been highlighted on acclaimed recordings dedicated to music by Alkan and transcriptions by Thalberg.
