National Symphony Orchestra “To his credit, NSO music director Shao-Chia Lü was faithful to both Schönbergs, rendering the Wagnerian depth of the opening section with almost Debussy-like transparency while letting the later -Financial Times 2015/1/1 portions unfold with Mahlerian breadth.” “The real star of the show was Taiwan Philharmonic. Shao-Chia Lü drew a full measure of passionate outpouring from his superbly trained musicians. Climaxes were overwhelming but never overbearing. Only world's greatest orchestras can play so loud without becoming garish. The score is so rich in detail that no single interpretation can reveal it all, but under Lü's direction I heard more -derneue Merker 2015/2 than in any recording. “ “The orchestra poured out great torrents of magnificent sound, and yet seldom have I heard such ideal balance between stage and pit. Shao-Chia Lü conducted with total commitment, ensuring -Opera, UK 2015/1 exquisite transparence.” Founded in 1986, the National Symphony Orchestra, also known as the Taiwan Philharmonic, is hailed as one of the best orchestras in the Asian Region and became the resident orchestra of the National Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center in 2005. Starting April 2014, the NSO has become an affiliate orchestra to the National Performing Arts Center. Led by renowned conductor ShaoChia Lü as its 5th music director starting August 2010, the NSO has increased the country's cultural richness and music educational strength throughout Taiwan. The NSO with 99 members presents a 40-week musical season of approximately 75 concerts/ chamber recitals and one opera production each year. It also launched educational programs and outreach projects constantly. Tour performances are regularly offered throughout Taiwan and overseas. It has toured to Vienna, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Milan, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Sapporo, Tokyo, Yokohama, Hong Kong and major cities in China. The NSO works with internationally acclaimed conductors, such as Lorin Maazel, Krzysztof Penderecki, Rudolf Barshai, Leonard Slatkin, Christopher Hogwood, Oleg Caetani, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Michael Sanderling and soloists, including Midori, Vadim Repin, Hilary Hahn, Baiba Skride, Viviane Hagner, Yo-Yo Ma, Gautier Capuçon, Alban Gerhardt, Mischa Maisky, Sol Gabetta, Evelyn Glennie, Martin Grubinger, Louis Lortie, Kun Woo Paik, Stephen Hough, Stephen Kovacevich, Katia & Marielle Labèque, Sabine Meyer, Reinhold Friedrich and many others. The NSO has extended its artistic reach, involving in theater and opera productions, such as working with Lin Hwai-min, the world-renowned choreographer and founder of Taiwan's Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, Austrian digital artist Klaus Obermaier, and opera stage directors Tobias Richter, Moffatt Oxenbould, and Hans-Peter Lehmann. In addition to its record-breaking semistage concert operas Der Ring des Nibelungen, and Elektra, the NSO has collaborated with worldclass opera houses for its multinational productions, such as Der Rosenkavalier (Deutsche Oper am Rhein, 2007), Carmen (Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Norwegian National Opera and Opera Australia, 2009), Madama Butterfly (Opera Australia, 2012), Fidelio (Zurich Operahaus, 2015) as well as in-house production Die Walküre (2013), and Salome (2014).

樂曲解說

不朽神童 撰文.蔡永凱(國立臺灣師範大學音樂學博士)

在音樂史上,莫札特與孟德爾頌常被相提並論。兩人都以神童之姿揚名樂壇,卻又都在 盛年因病離世。雖然如此,兩人的際遇卻有天壤之別。莫札特出身小康家庭,父親利奧波德 係當時頗具名望的小提琴教師。望子成龍的父親為了栽培兒子,極力拉攏薩爾茲堡的上層階 級,卻因其對「尊嚴」與「利益」的觀念與兒子相悖,最終導致父子決裂。相反地、孟德爾 頌出身於富裕家庭,父母親皆全力支持兒子的音樂事業,讓年輕的孟德爾頌可以毫無後顧之 憂地創作。他的音樂,與十九世紀前期大部份的作曲家一樣,都逃脫不了貝多芬的影響,但 又比他人多了巴哈的理性與莫札特的精緻,因此也被舒曼譽為「十九世紀的莫札特」。 兩人的音樂都以輕快、悅耳著稱,甚至難免因其討喜的聲響被視為過於世俗、缺乏深度。 然而,隨著研究視角的轉換,兩人對音樂的開創性都被認定為當代音樂發展的重要轉折。直 至今日,音樂界的神童仍如過江之鯽,但莫札特與孟德爾頌,卻以其短暫生命裡的豐碩創作, 讓他們的生命得以永留世間,成為不朽。

沃夫岡 ‧ 阿瑪迪斯 ‧ 莫札特: 第三十五號交響曲《哈夫納》 1849 年,莫札特的第三十五號交響曲,又被稱為《哈夫納交響曲》。哈夫納係當時在 薩爾茲堡一名聲顯赫之家族。該家族 1776 年於嫁女兒時,曾委託莫札特為婚禮創作一部小 夜曲,亦是日後為所熟知的《哈夫納小夜曲》(Haffner Serenade K. 250(248b))。因此,六年後, 當哈夫納之子得知自己即將被封爵時,他再度透過莫札特父親,委託創作一部新的作品。莫 札特當時非常繁忙,除了教學不斷之外,歌劇《後宮誘逃》即將首演,期間還有莫札特自己 的婚禮,但因著父親的壓力與哈夫納家族的威望,他仍擠出時間創作了一部新的小夜曲。是 年年底,莫札特得到喘息的時間,他拜託父親寄回這部新作小夜曲的總譜,加以修改、刪減 樂章,使其符合交響曲的形式。

樂曲解說

作品具有四個樂章,第一樂章為 D 大調,使用奏鳴曲式。沒有導奏,在前五個小節就呈 現出兩個具有鮮明性格的動機:前半部由連續三個八度大跳組成,營造出大開大闔的氣勢; 後半段則為一同音反覆旋律,雖然亦具有附點和大跳,但風格較為輕柔。兩個素材構織出整 個樂章,不僅在呈示、再現部裡具有豐富的色彩變化,在發展部裡則使用卡農手法,以對位 手法展現作品的重量。 第二樂章為 G 大調,同樣由奏鳴曲式來架構。樂章開始,第一小提琴即由上行的大三和 弦帶出第一主題;第二主題在 D 大調上,較為輕快,由第二小提琴與中提琴演奏。在這個樂 章的奏鳴曲式架構裡,發展部僅 14 小節,且並未見到清楚的主題痕跡,具有過渡樂段性格, 亦是當時慢板樂章常見的形式。 第三樂章回到 D 大調,在「小步舞曲段」莫札特藉由樂團齊奏,營造出較為陽剛的性格; 在「中間段」則轉換為鄉村舞曲的風味。終樂章亦使用奏鳴曲式。作曲家在樂章開始即呈現 第一主題的兩種樣貌,先由絃樂演奏弱聲;再由樂團齊奏演奏強音版本。相對於第一主題的 陽剛,在 A 大調上的第二主題則較為輕巧,由絃樂加上低音管演奏。在這個樂章裡,莫札特 設計了更多轉調,在峰迴路轉下安排多處驚喜,既維繫了整部作品壯盛的基調,但也留下了 歡樂的印象。

羅伯特 ‧ 舒曼:A 小調大提琴協奏曲 目前最為人所知的十九世紀大提琴協奏曲,分別為舒曼、德弗札克與聖桑斯所譜寫。其 中最晚受到注目的舒曼,其實最早寫成。它於 1850 年,作曲家就任杜塞朵夫職位前兩週完 成。關於這部作品的創作動機與背景,目前為止所知甚少。只知原本在草稿上係標註著「協 奏曲式作品」(Konzertstück),而非「協奏曲」,由此亦可以理解,即使作品在完成後仍被稱 為「協奏曲」,但卻有具有相當特殊、大膽的試驗,不同於當初標準的協奏曲形式。 作品由三個樂章組成:第一樂章為奏鳴曲式,樂章以樂團的三聲和弦開始,在風格上 似為導奏,但在音程關係上,則預告了三小節後由獨奏大提琴所帶出的第一主題。第一主題 以 E-A-B-C 四音為主,在抒情歌唱的框架下亦有許多細碎的華彩音型。在經過樂團齊奏後, 音樂轉至較為片段式的和弦,這個區塊雖然未帶出明確的主題,但大調的色彩與第一主題明

10


顯不同,可以視為樂章的第二主題群。樂章的發展部裡,可以頻繁地聽到第一主題之使用; 而獨奏大提琴亦屢屢挑戰高音域。經過工整的再現部後,漸慢卻不中斷地進行至第二樂章慢 板。這個在大調上出現的慢板,具有溫柔的特質,其旋律係由數個動機結合而成,展現舒曼 最擅長的「斷片」拼貼手法。然而到樂章中段,長笛卻又帶出具有小調色彩的第一樂章第一 主題,雖然之後再由獨奏大提琴拉回第二樂章之主題,原先的幸福感卻有如無法挽回,經由 一段獨奏者的快速音群,由第二樂章之主題不間斷地接續至第三樂章快板。這個終樂章再度 回到小調,兼具迴旋曲式和奏鳴曲式的特色。樂章開始樂團由齊奏帶出 A-F-E,即本樂章最 重要的主題。但是在樂章中間,亦可聽到第一樂章的第一主題再度加入。 於是,在這部「協奏曲」裡,存在了兩個空間:就傳統的眼光來看,三個樂章具備各自 的架構與主題;但透過樂章的連結與主題的混用,舒曼又把這三個樂章串連成一個大型的整 體。如此的作法,深富舒伯特《流浪者幻想曲》、孟德爾頌小提琴協奏曲、白遼士《幻想交 響曲》的影響,也預告了十九世紀末期交響詩與協奏曲的普遍走向。因此,即使獨奏大提琴 的部份,曾經一度被認為是無法被演奏,但舒曼為這部大提琴協奏曲所灌注的深度,卻絕對 不只在獨奏大提琴的聲部而已。

菲利克斯 ‧ 孟德爾頌:第四號交響曲《義大利》 孟德爾頌的第四號交響曲,別稱《義大利》,靈感來自於 1829 至 1931 年至義大利旅行 的經驗。作品在 1833 年完成後,由作曲家自己指揮,於倫敦首演。隔年,孟德爾頌已完成 修改版本,卻始終未能滿意。因此這部作品,一直等到作曲家辭世之後,才得以重見天日。 作品由四個樂章組成。第一樂章的開始即傳達出高昂的興致:木管的持續斷奏為孟德爾 頌慣用的語彙、在這個充滿動力的背景下,樂章的第一主題由小提琴帶出。主題前端兩次三 度音程上下有如來自美好南方的呼喚。而這個三度音程,亦成為這個樂章最主要的素材。第 二主題為單簧管與低音管所演奏的旋律,與第一主題相較,雖然都屬輕快,但色澤卻顯得較 為溫暖。進入發展部後,加入了由樂團齊奏的小調主題。這個主題可似是脫胎自呈示部的伴 奏音型,直到此時才聚集成型。發展部中,小調主題與第一主題相互壓制,成功營造出樂章 的高潮。再現部的佈局大致上與呈示部相同,但在細微處見巧思,原本由管樂演奏的第一主 題,此處由中提琴與大提琴演奏,長笛與單簧管輪流演奏出不間斷的流暢音型,即使音樂內

11


樂曲解說

容類似,但卻呈現完全不同的聲響。再現部的尾端,小調主題再次出現,猶如帶領聽眾溫習 發展部裡兩主題的競逐。直到第一主題吹出勝利的號角,結束這充滿活力的第一樂章。 第二樂章為 a 小調,此慢板樂章亦被稱為「朝聖者進行曲」。樂章共由三段不同旋律, 按 ABCACB 的順序串連而成,流露出憂鬱、懷舊的氣息。第三樂章再次回到明亮的 A 大調。 在這個小步舞曲,「小步舞曲段」的主要素材係小提琴於樂章開始所帶出的流暢旋律;「中 間段」則為明確的號角聲。有趣的是,樂章結束前的短小尾聲,亦取自中間段的號角聲。 孟德爾頌為賦予終樂章「薩塔瑞羅舞曲」的標題。這一類舞曲源起於義大利托斯卡尼地 區,其特色為 3/4 拍,舞步則以快速的旋轉為主,且強調跳躍。樂章以樂團的齊奏開始,猶 如金鼓齊鳴地宣告其喧鬧的基調,之後再接至兩支長笛以平行三度所演奏的樂章主題。整個 樂章融合了迴旋曲式與奏鳴曲式,既可以聽到舞曲主題重複出現,亦能聽到頻繁地轉調與主 題間的對位。樂章裡成功地將「小調」與「歡樂」結合,這也可說是孟德爾頌在古典音樂史 上,無人能出其右的獨門技術。

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 35, K. 385, D major, Haffner By Robert Markow (Musicologist, Canada) WOLFGANG AMADÈ MOZART: Born in Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died in Vienna, December 5, 1791 The highly esteemed Haffner family of Salzburg needed some music to accompany the festivities surrounding the ennoblement of one of its sons, set for late July or early August, 1782. There was no question of whom to ask. Mozart had previously written the Haffner Serenade, K. 250 for the marriage of a Haffner daughter in 1776. Six years later, the family again had cause for celebration and turned to Leopold Mozart to request from his son Wolfgang, now settled in Vienna, a serenade for the occasion. ​Wolfgang complied, but he was so overworked with a variety of projects that, even with the best of intentions, he could not meet the deadline. (In addition to all his musical activities, his marriage to Constanze was just two weeks away.) So feverishly did he write the score that several months later, when his father returned it to him, he remarked that it “positively amazed me, for I had

12


forgotten every single note in it.” ​The relevance of all this to the genesis of the Haffner Symphony becomes clear when we find Mozart in need of a symphony for a concert in Vienna of all his own music the following season. To convert his occasional serenade into a symphony, Mozart dropped the opening march (now an independent piece, K. 408, No. 2) and one of the minuets (presumed lost) and added pairs of flutes and clarinets to the original instrumentation of the remaining movements. These new instruments only double already existing lines and chords in the outer movements, but the symphony owes its enriched sonority to one of the largest ensembles Mozart ever used. The concert at which the Haffner Symphony was premiered took place on March 23, 1783. ​The Haffner Symphony boasts one of the most striking openings of any Mozart symphony: a bold, ceremonial gesture with flying leaps in the unison strings and a good rhythmic punch to set it off. So effective is this opening flourish that Mozart employs it almost continuously throughout the movement, even to the extent of letting it serve, in slightly modified form, as the “second” principal theme in the contrasting key of A major, and, as the closing theme as well, also modified. Swirling scale passages, brilliant arpeggiation and lots of trills contribute to the festive air. ​T he winsome lilt of the opening theme of the Andante sets in motion a movement that conforms perfectly to the image of Mozartian grace. A wide variety of trills and other decorative touches emphasize its rococo delicacy and lighthearted mood. ​The sturdy, vigorous Menuetto recalls more the dance style of Austrian peasants than of courtly ballrooms. Jens Peter Larsen described the central Trio section as “a little marvel of unproblematical music-making.” ​Peeking through the curtains of the operatic stage is the witty tune of the finale, which is too close to Osmin’s aria “Ha, wie will ich triumphieren” from The Abduction from the Seraglio (premiered just three weeks before this movement was written) to be sheer coincidence. This sparkling finale is a rondo whose unconventional design is nevertheless perceived as eminently logical and assured, written in utmost haste by a supreme master.

Robert Schumann: Cello Concerto, Op. 129, A minor Schumann wrote his Cello Concerto in 1850, describing it in his own list of compositions as a Konzerlstuck it came, therefore, during the first period of his appointment in Düsseldorf, at the time of composition of his Third Symphony, the Rhenish. He already had some knowledge of the cello, having played it in the 1830s, when he was forced to turn his attention away from the piano, at least

as a professional performer. The lower register of the cello poses certain problems to composers, since it may all too easily be obscured by the orchestra. This is avoided by Schumann's scoring, which, nevertheless, has been criticized, leading some to re-orchestrate the concerto in ways that are often interesting, if idiosyncratic. Woodwind chords, with pizzicato strings, open the concerto, the soloist entering after a brief accompanying figure in the violins. The strongly romantic first theme is proclaimed by the cello, which continues in prominence until the first orchestral tutti, answered by a further solo The rhapsodic material is developed, the solo theme re-appearing in F sharp minor before the recapitulation in the original key, with the secondary theme now in the tonic major. There is an expressive F major slow movement and brief reminiscences of the principal themes of both movements before the launching of the finale, with arpeggios that form part of the cello theme, the basis of the movement, which leads to an accompanied cadenza and an emphatic conclusion. © 2015 Naxos Digital Services Ltd

Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4, Op. 90, A major, Italian The Italian Symphony was completed in 1833 but remained unpublished in Mendelssohn's life-time because of his own dissatisfaction with it and his intention of revising the first movement. The ideas for the work were developed during his stay in Italy in 1831, and the whole symphony, described by the Vienna critic Eduard Hanslick as "full of sweet enchantment, an intoxicating floral fragrance", fits well enough the composer's own view of it as "the gayest thing I have ever done". The first movement opens with the violins offering the initial cheerful theme, over repeated wind chords. Classical procedure is followed, with clarinets and bassoons playing a second subject over a busy string accompaniment. The central development of the movement introduces a third theme, with the opening figure providing material that leads to the re-appearance of the first subject and the recapitulation. The second movement is the famous Pilgrims' March, the solemn theme of the procession announced by oboes, bassoons and violas, with the melody unfolding over the rhythmic march of the lower strings. A third movement, described by one critic as "a Biedermeier minuet", has about it something of the spirit of Mendelssohn's fairy music for A Midsummer Night's Dream, but it is in the rapid elegance of the final Saltarello and the concluding Neapolitan tarantella that this mood is decisively recaptured. © 2015 Naxos Digital Services Ltd
