Glass,Rorem的小提琴协奏曲,还有BERNSTEIN 的Serenade ,永远回深深的吸引你.
One of the great artists of the music of our time, Gidon Kremer is best known for his pioneering performances of the central works of the Western European avant-garde and for his untiring efforts to make the music of his native Eastern Europe famous in the world.
Over the years, the violinist has also maintained close contact with the American musical scene. Kremer has counted among his friends not only Leonard Bernstein but also Philip Glass and Ned Rorem - surely an invaluable added bonus for these authentic interpretations, which are brought together for the first time on the present CD.
Three great American violin concertos and an interpreter who is second to none in his commitment to lesser-known works: Gidon Kremer has not only made the music of his native Eastern Europe - Alfred Schnittke, Arvo Pärt and Sofia Gubaidulina - famous in the West, not only taken the central works of the Western European avant-garde into his regular repertoire, but has also maintained close contact with the American music scene.
All three Americans on this recording are undeniably popular - and not just in their own country: Leonard Bernstein's unique biography and international career as conductor and composer hardly need an introduction; Ned Rorem's luminous music is finally becoming fashionable, above all in the New World, while Philip Glass' minimalism has been making its way around the globe for at least two decade. Three Americans, three violin concertos, three differing approaches to the music of our time.
The paths of Bernstein, Rorem and Glass have crossed repeatedly. For all three New York has been the focal poin: Rorem and Glass acquired their compositional craft at the Juilliard School; Leonard Bernstein celebrated his greatest triumphs on Braodway. And yet their musical aesthetic could hardly be more diverse. The concertos in this recording show an elegant Ned Rorem writing songs without words but with powerful imagery and clear visions; and incandescent Leonard Bernstein, whose Serenade is really a little music drama; and an urgent Philip Glass, who, in his Violin Concerto, too, has fused minimalism and orientalism to creat shimmering, iridescent, seemingly improvised sound colours.
