百萬小學堂:日本版CD"再"的意思?


“再”即為“再販賣價格維持”的縮寫,是一種販賣約束制度,簡單來說,就是銷售商必須在指定期限內按照發行方指定價格銷售。以上圖為例,上面的99.5.21指明該CD發行時間,下面的“再”01.5.20就是限定價格期限,也就是說CD發行到2001年5月20日這兩年內該CD必須按照指定價格銷售,例如2000日元的你就賣2000,不能隨便打折,只有等到2001年5月21日起才能不受拘束的降價打折。

陳淑卿(Evelyn Chen)教授獨奏會



約十年前,筆者閒晃二手CD店時,發現一張拉赫曼尼諾夫第2號鋼琴協奏曲(補白曲目則是《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》)的CD,以Classic FM名義由BMG發行,樂團是英國愛樂樂團,指揮則是美國籍指揮家Leonard Slatkin,至於鋼琴家呢?一個看起來是華人名字的Evelyn Chen,儘管一無所悉,因為價格平實,曲目通俗,最後還是決定買下了。當年CD中的照片還是位就讀茱利亞音樂學院博士班的清純女孩,現在則是位臉上充滿自信與文藝氣質的學院派教授!

台北藝術大學獨奏音樂會的票價非常划算(NT$100),曲目與場地卻一點都不陽春!如果有空,千萬不要錯過。

鋼琴大師Evelyn Chen獨奏會

演出時間 / 2009年11月28日(星期六)14:30
演出地點 / 國立臺北藝術大學音樂廳
鋼琴/陳淑卿(Evelyn Chen)


紐約時報:「陳淑卿是一位值得期待的鋼琴家,他的演奏有著明亮、炫麗的技藝,以及溫暖清晰的音色,更有著令人驚喜的音樂性。」
華盛頓郵報:「在柴可夫斯基《第一號鋼琴協奏曲》中,鋼琴家陳淑卿與美國國家交響樂團的演出,值得觀眾細心品味再三。」
波士頓環球報:「陳淑卿的演奏具有令人難以致信的充沛精力,兼有靈性的表現,簡直就是一位天生的演奏家。」

北藝大音樂學系非常榮幸能邀請到,目前擔任哥倫比亞大學鋼琴副教授的Evelyn Chen,於北藝大演出及舉行大師班。陳淑卿12歲就與台北市立交響樂團做全省巡迴協奏演出。1980年陳淑卿隨全家移民美國;1981年即以 13 歲最小年齡,在華盛頓國際巴赫鋼琴大賽贏得首獎。1986年進入哈佛大學師事羅素‧修門( Russell Sherman ),取得理論作曲學士文憑,之後於新英格蘭音樂院取得碩士文憑。1992進入茱麗亞音樂學院博士班,成為是該校創校以來第一位獲得鋼琴博士的台灣人,並於就學期間,便已在無數個國際鋼琴大賽中大放異彩,歡迎各位喜愛鋼琴的聽眾一起來聆聽這位演奏家迷人的風采。


演出曲目:
巴赫:義大利協奏曲,作品971J. S. Bach: Italian concerto, BWV 971
貝多芬:第32號C小調鋼琴奏鳴曲,作品111L. v. Beethoven: Piano Sonata No.32 in C Minor, Op.111

Rene Leibowitz貝多芬交響曲全集套裝發行(5CDs,Chesky)


法國指揮家René Leibowitz指揮英國皇家愛樂交響樂團(Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)1961年為《讀者文摘》灌錄的貝多芬交響曲全集,長期以來一直是發燒名廠Chesky唱片的招牌貨,因為背後製作團隊大有來頭,錄音操刀者為發燒大師Kenneth Wilkinson,製作人則是Charles Gerhardt。儘管之前來路不名的小廠Scribendum也曾經發行過相同錄音,且堪稱價廉物美,但封面設計實在醜陋不堪(參見下圖,下下圖則為LP版原始封面),此次Chesky推出套裝限量版(聽聽就好)應該算是第一次國際發行正規盤,可惜的是,即使集結成套,價格仍然維持該廠高貴路線,降不下來...

2009年底最值得期待的大片~夏伊指揮布蘭登堡協奏曲


根據經紀代理公司發佈的訊息,Riccardo Chailly與Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra在2010年於Decca發行三部巴哈錄音,但沒想到順序似乎有所變動,原本排定明年六月發行的《布蘭登堡協奏曲》搶在《馬太受難曲》之前,且時間點大大提前,日本HMV網站網站已經公布開放預購,預計耶誕節當天在日本上市,按照日本售價來判斷,應該是賣兩張中價位!

Norrington爵士海頓倫敦交響曲(4CDs)


2009 年海頓逝世200週年實在略嫌冷清,一直沒有讓人眼睛一亮的新片發行上市,沒想到接近年底了,德國Haenssler突然冒出這一套錄音。

音源來自諾林頓爵士指揮Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra在2009年9月7-12日的音樂會實況,是同一組合繼今年初發行的6CDs莫札特交響曲(2006年斯圖嘉特European Music Festival實況錄音)後,又一重要發行!

德國Haenssler品牌已經由台灣金革唱片引進,儘管品項相當有限,但總是有機會就是了!

Amazon網站年度首選 Best of 2009

又到了年底各式各樣榜單滿天飛的季節,亞馬遜網站版本蠻有意思的,排名第一的是阿根廷女中音Bernarda Fink的巴哈單人清唱劇專輯(Harmonia Mundi),第二名是美國女指揮家Alsop指揮的伯恩斯坦彌撒曲(Naxos),第三名又是Harmonia Mundi的古聲樂團體Stile Antico《歌中之歌》(Song of Songs)專輯,第四名則是帕帕諾的威爾第《安魂曲》(EMI),第五名是俄羅斯新秀指揮家Vasily Petrenko的Naxos版蕭斯塔高維奇第11號交響曲。總計前五名中,Naxos與Harmonia Mundi各佔兩名,堪稱最大贏家!

日本Tower唱片與日本環球合作獨賣的Vintage系列,最近準備發行巴倫波因第一套布魯克納交響曲全集,1973到1980年指揮芝加哥交響樂團的版本,國外網友紛紛討論,這套錄音是否曾經發行過國際版套裝CD,在網路上搜尋的結果應該是有這回事(編號DG 429 025-2),但看過的人似乎不多就是了...

布列茲DG史特拉汶斯基作品集盒裝(7CDs)


SONY(CBS)近期又再版布列茲早期錄音作品集,以作曲家為單位,其中包括白遼士、巴爾托克、拉威爾、德布西、史特拉汶斯基、馬勒、魏本、貝爾格、荀伯格以及自己的作品,共有11輯,分別為3到6張CD不等,對筆者來說,大部分皆屬一炒再炒的冷飯,提不起任何興趣!

倒是DG準備繼之前的8CDs巴爾托克盒裝後,再度推出6CDs的史特拉汶斯基作品集,除了1991到1996年間的4張錄音之外,也把80年代初的2張罕見曲目錄音放進去了。

看來,DG正在有計畫的出版布列茲的錄音低價系列盒裝,在巴爾托克與史特拉汶斯基之後是誰的作品呢?拉威爾或德布西(各有4~5張錄音)?而眾所期待的馬勒交響曲全集何時結集降價發行呢?拭目以待吧!

Rozhdestvensky 是不是「傑出指揮大師」!?

高齡78歲的俄國指揮家格納迪.羅許德茲特溫斯基(Gennady Rozhdestvensky)今天(2009/11/08)偕同兒子Sasha Rozhdestvensky與太太Viktoria Postnikova在國家音樂廳指揮台北市立交響樂團演出,以下是北市交發佈的指揮家簡歷資料。


格納迪.羅許德茲特溫斯基為當今最偉大的指揮家之一,1931年生於莫斯科。他在莫斯科音樂院 (Moscow Conservatoire)就讀時,跟隨歐伯林(Lev Oborin)修習鋼琴、跟隨父親安諾索夫(Nikolaï Anosov)修習指揮。在他還是音樂院學生的二十歲那年,就不尋常的與波修瓦劇院(Bolshoi Theatre)簽約,並在那裡首次以指揮的身分登上舞台,指揮演出柴可夫斯基的芭蕾舞劇《睡美人》(The Sleeping Beauty)。他長期與波修瓦劇院合作:1964到1970年間,擔任劇院的首席指揮;2000年獲任命為音樂行政總監。

他在波修瓦劇院指揮三十齣以上的歌劇和芭蕾舞劇,包括為俄國作曲家哈察都量(Khatchaturian)的芭雷舞劇《萬夫莫敵》(Spartacus)舉行世界首演,也指揮演出布列頓(Benjamin Britten)歌劇《仲夏夜之夢》(A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream)的全俄羅斯首演。1956年起,他定期與波修瓦芭蕾舞團(Bolshoi ballet)至歐洲、亞洲和美洲巡迴演出。

多年以來,羅玆德斯特汶斯基也帶領莫斯科廣播管絃樂團(Moscow Radio Orchestra),並以一介蘇聯籍指揮家的身分受到好幾個國外管絃樂團任命為首席指揮,這在當時可是前所未見,這些樂團為:英國倫敦的BBC廣播電台(BBC Symphony Orchestra)、奧地利維也納交響樂團(Vienna Symphony Orchestra),以及瑞典斯德哥爾摩皇家愛樂管絃樂團(Stockholm Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)。

1970年代,羅玆德斯特汶斯基接手莫斯科室內歌劇院(Moscow Chamber Opera),任期間重現蕭士塔可維契被「遺忘」的歌劇《鼻子》(The Nose),並指揮演出史特拉汶斯基的《浪子的生涯》(The Rake’s Progress)。同時,他創立了「文化部管絃樂團」(Ministry of Culture Orchestra),並帶領樂團在俄羅斯境內外舉行數百場的音樂會、錄製兩百多張音樂專輯,專輯中收錄有蕭士塔可維契、普羅高菲夫、葛拉祖諾夫(Glazunov)和布魯克納的交響作品全集,以及大量的徐尼特克(Schnittke)、丹尼索夫(Denisov)和古拜杜林納(Gubaidulina)的作品。

羅玆德斯特汶斯基也在一些最知名的歐洲劇院中做過感人的指揮演出,如英國倫敦的皇家歌劇院科芬園(Royal Opera House Covent Garden,演出莫索斯基的 《波里斯.郭德諾夫》[Boris Godunov]、柴科夫斯基的《胡桃鉗》[Nutcracker])、法國的巴黎歌劇院(Paris Opera ,演出柴可夫斯基的《黑桃皇后》[Queen of spades]),義大利史卡拉劇院(La Scala,演出林姆斯基—高沙可夫[Rimsky-Korsakov]的《薩爾坦沙皇傳奇》[The legend of Tsar Saltan]、華格納的《漂泊的荷蘭人》[Flying Dutchman])等等。

他也參與許多新作品或新近創作的世界首演,其中還有些是獻給他的,這些作品的作曲家包括普羅高菲夫、蕭士塔可維契、塔凡納(John Tavener)、徐尼特克(Alfred Schnittke)和徐克德林(Rodion Shchédrine)等人。2001年,他在波修瓦劇院首次舉行原版的普羅高菲夫歌劇《賭徒》(Gambler)演出。

羅玆德斯特汶斯基錄製的有聲品,數量增加的非常快,這顯示他具有無止盡的好奇心,並讓他成為史上收錄最多作品的指揮家。目前發行的總數量遠足超過四百張,計收錄了驚人的七百八十六首作品。

羅玆德斯特汶斯基獲頒「法國榮譽軍團勳章」(French Legion of honour)、日本旭日勳章(Order of the Rising Sun),並成為瑞典斯德哥爾摩學院(Stockholm Academy與英國學院(British Academy)的榮譽會員(Honorary Member)。

三十多年來,羅玆德斯特汶斯基教授一直擔任莫斯科皇家音樂院的指揮系教授,並在各國開授大師班音樂課程。

2006年,於保加利亞舉行第一屆「羅玆德斯特汶斯國際指揮大賽」(Gennady Rozhdestvensky International Competition for Conductors)。

知名法國電影製作人布魯諾.蒙森吉昂(Bruno Monsaingeon),近來拍了兩部以羅玆德斯特汶斯基為題材的影片。


憑以上洋洋灑灑的彪炳經歷,Rozhdestvensky堪稱近年來訪台指揮本地樂團的「最大咖」,在筆者心目中,Rozhdestvensky與之前NSO重金禮聘的Lorin Maazel不相上下,但兩人在本地媒體獲得的關注程度落差很大!遺憾的是,這並非老大師第一次吃虧....

剛好約一年前,Rozhdestvensky應邀指揮波士頓交響樂團四場客席音樂會,但臨時取消了,樂團對外宣稱老大師「無法按照原訂計畫進行指揮」("unable to conduct this performance as planned ")但老大師旋即接受波士頓環球報(Boston Globe)專訪,澄清他「能夠」指揮而一清二楚「如何」指揮,("I must say that I was able to conduct" and "And how"),問題出在樂團行政當局不尊重大師,讓老人家自尊心受傷了!大師忿忿不平的說:"I felt insulted by the actions of the administration," ,而且是「人格上的大大羞辱」, "I feel not only slighted but I suffered what is called in Russian a moral insult, and I'm free to take any actions to defend myself in public.",因此他決定取消音樂會來捍衛自己的尊嚴!

為何老大師會如此生氣呢?問題癥結來自波士頓交響樂團的樂季宣傳手冊!老大師很生氣的發現,該份手冊竟然未將他列入「傑出指揮大師」("Distinguished Conductors")之中,而且音樂廳外大型海報也把宣傳重點放在擔任獨奏的大提琴家Lynn Harrell,尤其讓老大師感冒的是,在他眼中,樂團所謂的"Distinguished Conductors"中,至少有兩位是「沒沒無名的」...

有位旅居紐約的台灣格友特別把這份「傑出指揮大師」名單找出來,有以下幾位(加大標粗體者則是筆者心目中「兩個沒沒無名」的,只是不知是否跟老大師所見略同)~
Sir Colin Davis
Kurt Mazur
André Previn
Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos
Herbert Blomstedt
Charles Dutoit
Hans Graf
Bernard Labadie
Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Shi-Yein Sung

姑且不論名單中最後一位的韓裔樂團助理指揮是不是算「傑出指揮大師」,以名單中倒數第二位的法裔加拿大指揮家Yannick Nézet-Séguin來說,年僅34歲的他儘管最近竄紅速度很快,但如果冠上「傑出指揮大師」名號,與戴維斯爵士或普列文等人並列,實在是太過勉強!

無論如何,歡迎老大師蒞臨台北,Добро пожаловать



圖片說明:Rozhdestvensky指揮BBC交響樂團的《睡美人》全曲錄音錄音室版LP(上圖),絕版已久,並未轉錄CD發行,目前市面上找得到的是BBC Legends版皇家節慶音樂廳1979年10月10日實況錄音(下圖)。

無以為繼的BIS Openin Doors 交響曲系列

Thomas Dausgaard與瑞典室內樂團(Swedish Chamber Orchestra)為瑞典BIS公司灌錄的"Opening Doors" 系列舒曼交響曲全集(3CDs,含原始版與修訂版第4號兩種版本),整體企畫構想是近幾年筆者覺得最有特色的一種,Dausgaard對標題名稱給了以下這樣的定義"Open the doors into the possibility of hearing this music in a different way" ,只可惜除了舒曼之外,只有另外一輯德弗札克的6與9號交響曲,原本號稱要灌錄的布魯克納與舒伯特遲遲未見蹤影。



尤其,既然是以19世紀浪漫樂派為主要灌錄曲目,孟德爾頌五首交響曲目照理應該是要納入其中的,但BIS選擇由Andrew Litton與挪威Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra合作搭檔,更是確定"Opening Doors"系列無以為繼的窘境!

法國華納版Svetlanov馬勒交響曲全集(14CDs)


這套錄音最早出現在法國Le Chant du Monde廠牌,筆者手上擁有的版本則是日本獨賣的俄羅斯品牌Venezia版本,非常經濟的只用了12CDs,但前兩者流通不廣,法國華納版Svetlanov大全集應該會是最普及、最易得手的版本。

伯恩斯坦指揮柏林愛樂馬勒第9號交響曲


81分鐘採單張中價位CD發行,非常划算的低價盤!

伯恩斯坦正規馬勒第9號交響曲錄音總計有以下四個版本:
1965 NYP(SONY版) 28:26 + 15:52 + 12:30 + 23:03 = 79:51
1971 VPO(DG DVD版) 27:24 + 16:06 + 11:28 + 25:48 = 80:46
1979 BPO(DG大花版) 27:31 + 15:49 + 11:59 + 26:03 = 81:22
1985 RCO(DG套裝全集版) 29:52 + 17:26 + 11:47 + 29:34 = 88:39

庫貝利克指揮柏林愛樂舒曼交響曲全集大花版(2CDs)


庫貝利克與巴伐利亞交響樂團曾經在CBS(SONY)留下一套舒曼交響曲全集雙CD,歷來頗獲好評,此套與柏林愛樂的錄音一直被前者壓得抬不起頭來,之前在十幾年前的法國版DG低價雙CD曾經驚鴻一瞥,也有出現在台灣沒引進的《雄辯》系列,這次算是國際版正式發行!

Markus Stenz展開馬勒交響曲全集錄音計畫

德國指揮家Markus Stenz指揮科隆歌劇院管弦樂團(Gürzenich-Orchester Köln),由德國獨立廠牌Oehms發行,2009年10月發行系列第一彈是第5號交響曲,預計2012年將會完成全部交響曲與管弦樂伴奏聲樂曲目。

在此同時,同樣也是40餘歲的英國籍指揮Jonathan Nott指揮德國 Bamberg Symphony Orchestra灌錄馬勒交響曲已經推出3張專輯,全集錄音預計在2011年即可完成,由瑞士品牌Tudor發行。




兩項全集錄音皆採SACD發行。

如果加上已經接近完成的三套~葛濟夫(Valery Gergiev)、辛曼(David Zinman)與提爾湯瑪斯(Michael Tilson Thomas),算一算,未來三年內就會有5套馬勒交響曲全集SACD發行上市!

WOW...

相對的,也有很多未能完成全集錄音的遺憾例子,像是英國指揮家Benjamin Zander在美國Telarc公司的馬勒交響曲錄音,目前只完成第1、4、5、6、9號交響曲等五集錄音,隨著Tealrc宣布不再自製錄音,全集錄音恐怕已經淪為遙不可及的夢想了...

Alexandre Tharaud加盟Virgin首發片《Journal Intime》

專輯名稱法文《Journal Intime》即「私の日記」,專訪便從這兩個字開始談起:

Why this private diary…

My life has been mapped out by Chopin; more than any other composer, he has accompanied me at every stage. Some of his works take me back ineluctably to a particular event or meeting, and I wanted to put them all together in a single programme, like an album of personal memories.

What was your first encounter with this music?

When I was four I was not allowed to touch the family record-player, but I would ask my parents to put on the LPs of Samson François and Tamás Vásáry – so my first Chopin had dash and dazzle. I also took in the coarse, hammered-out Chopin of Mireille, the old lady pianist who played for my mother’s dancing-classes, to which I went every week. I adored Mireille – she introduced me to a fair number of composers – but I really have to say she massacred Chopin, to the extent of adding a beat to his waltzes, making them waltzes in 4/4 time. I was lulled to sleep by the Écossaises and the Op. 9 Nocturne played by her quirky fingers.

How did you first come to play Chopin?

Right from my first years on the piano, Carmen Taccon-Devenat, a teacher of genius, readily understood that I “needed” Chopin to give me pleasure. Straight away she introduced me to that little gem the Contredanse, which has so seldom been recorded, then to some mazurkas, waltzes and études. Some years later came the Fantaisie-Impromptu, a showy piece but not beyond a child’s hands, which I played all the time, to whoever would listen. She was by my side at each of these discoveries, a twinkle in the corner of her eye, her hand on my arm to stop me from racing away. For her, Chopin had to speak: “Tone above all!” We put words or syllables to each note. I have never forgotten what she taught me.

And at the conservatoire?

The piano was the secret garden of my adolescence, and it was through Chopin that I gave myself up to it. The second Ballade is indissolubly linked with my entry into the Conservatoire National. On the day of the audition, Carmen Taccon-Devenat and I were in panic, my hands trembling in hers as I waited my turn outside the room. We had spent a month at her house in the country, working intensively to prepare ourselves for this moment.

At the Conservatoire the Fantaisie was my party-piece. I dreamt of the first Ballade, and I would have given anything to play it, but it was consistently denied me. The years passed and I ended up being convinced we were not made for one another. I was twenty before I got my hands on it. And then I pounced on it!

What about the other pieces in this album?

These pieces remind me of certain rather private moments in my life, of people I have loved or friends I have lost. Once, at the funeral of a close friend, I heard a terrific funeral march on the organ; much later, I was amazed to learn that it was from the Largo in C minor, a practically unknown piece, written originally for piano. The Mazurkas, Op.17 No.4, Op.7 No.2 and Op. 63 No.3, and the Nocturne in C sharp minor, Op. posth., take me back to Warsaw, Montreal, Munich and Senigallia…

How did the recording go?

Cécile Lenoir and I chose a Steinway piano with a clear tone, and a warm, ample recording which gave a sense of the hall, to approximate as closely as possible to a concert ambience. We opted for a generous, natural reverberation.

In the course of recording, the personal memories to which each of these pieces is linked came to the forefront, blending together and completely suffusing me. In a way, they became the real performers of this “Private Diary”…

To Mireille

低價蒐盤:Karl Suske錄音作品集

趁著台灣代理商舉辦七折特價活動,逢低搶進了一些東德小提琴家Karl Suske的錄音作品,以下五款屬於此次的血拼成果,如果再加上原本兩套早先即已購買的貝多芬弦樂四重奏全集(10CDs)與莫札特小提琴奏鳴曲全集(5CDs),基本上已經囊括其錄音生涯之精華矣!


莫札特弦樂四重奏第8-23號(6CDs),Suske四重奏。

貝多芬小提琴協奏曲集(Bisics版),Masur指揮萊比錫布商大廈管弦樂團伴奏。

貝多芬小提琴奏鳴曲集(Basics版,2CDs), Karl Suske(小提琴),Walter Olbertz(鋼琴)。

莫札特鋼琴三重奏集2CDs,Karl Suske(小提琴)、Walter Olbertz(鋼琴)、Matthisa Pfender(大提琴)。

巴哈無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲與組曲(Basic版,2CDs)

Christian Thielemann拜魯特版指環(14CDs)

2008年拜魯特音樂節實況錄音,以往只有發行DVD的Opus Arte公司首次踏入CD市場,領銜演唱者包括Michelle Breedt、Albert Dohmen、Stephen Gould、Hans-Peter Konig、Linda Watson與 Eva-Maria Westbroek等,14張賣價約80餘歐元,折合台幣約4000元上下,看來,這將會為未來全套指環CD錄音作品設立一個價格門檻上限!

Esa-Pekka Salonen指揮尼爾森交響曲全集(6CDs)


原以為台灣分公司可能不會有興趣引進,很高興在台灣便可以直接買到這套作品! 但尼爾森六首交響曲用了6CDs實在是有點不經濟就是了!

Salonen近期發行都集中在DG,SONY應該會慢慢釋出過去的錄音作品,只可惜,除了這套尼爾森交響曲之外,只有史特拉汶斯基的作品算是有系統的灌錄,其他像是德不西、巴爾托克或梅湘等都只是零零星星...

1998年,SONY曾經發行過他與洛杉磯愛樂交響樂團灌錄的布魯克納第四號交響曲與馬勒第三號交響曲,感覺上好像有打算殺入主流錄音曲目的準備,孰料只是曇花一現的絕無僅有發行...

林昭亮(小提琴)
  • 收錄丹麥作曲家尼爾森最聞名於世的的六首交響曲
  • 同時收錄林昭亮的獲留聲機大獎「最佳協奏曲獎」和企鵝評鑑三星帶花的經典演出尼爾森:小提琴協奏曲
  • 芬蘭指揮家沙隆年剛跨五十歲,享譽樂壇超過二十年之久的中生代名家
  • 十六歲成為瑞典廣播交響樂團首席指揮/二十七歲被英國的樂管弦樂團聘為首席客座指揮/同時被洛杉磯愛樂聘為首席客座指揮,並成為樂團的音樂總監至今
簡介:
丹麥作曲家尼爾森(Carl Nielsen)創作的六首交響曲聞名於後世,受到布拉姆斯交響曲的影響,但有更強的現代感,也更難以預測,尤其是在他最後三首交響曲中,更明顯地揭露他內心對於古希臘那種對於生在混亂人世中,渴求內心世界平靜的呼喊。尼爾森的六首交響曲中,最為人所知的是第二號「四種氣質」,標題指的是古希臘人和中世紀思想家所陳述對人性特質的掌握:膽汁型、黏液質型、暗鬱型、血紅型。第一號交響曲則是早十年的創作,完成於一八九四年,樂曲反映了尼爾森剛從西歐接受正統音樂教育回來後,急著想要一顯身手的自信和迫切之心。第三號「恢闊」指的是一種對外在事物的興趣和樂觀性格。而第四號「永恆不滅」是一九一六年完成的創作,正值第一次世界大戰,標題指的是人類的生命力,表達的也是第三號交響曲中那種對於人性的樂觀態度。第五號例外的沒有標題,而且只採用兩個樂章,其中更有一大部份指示小鼓可以自由即興發揮,此曲被視為尼爾森最偉大的傑作,主旨在描寫衝突。第六號的標題是「簡潔」,其實是他所有交響曲中最耗費心力的一部,也是最不易演出的一部。此曲一開始用鐘琴演奏的反覆音,後來被蕭士塔高維契借用在他的第十五號交響曲中,藉以表達同樣的失落感和對同稚時期純真無邪心性的回顧。尼爾森的小提琴協奏曲是在一九一一年開始創作,從一開始他將這首協奏曲設定成技巧華麗,讓小提琴家炫耀,卻也要能夠通俗易懂,不要太作做,如今這首協奏曲已被接受為經典曲目,所有知名小提琴家都會將之納入正規曲目中。

芬蘭指揮家沙隆年(Esa-Pekka Salonen)剛跨五十歲的第一個年頭,卻已經是享譽樂壇超過二十年之久的名家,二十六歲成為瑞典廣播交響樂團首席指揮、二十七歲被英國的樂管弦樂團聘為首席客座指揮,以作曲家自許的他,意外地成為大西洋兩岸最有人氣的青年指揮家,同時期他被洛杉磯愛樂聘為首席客座指揮,並成為樂團的音樂總監至今,他也讓洛杉磯愛樂首度登上薩爾茲堡音樂節,給予該團從未有過的榮耀。這套沙隆年八零年代後期的錄音,當時為他贏得了極高的肯定,其中與台灣小提琴家林昭亮合作的尼爾森與西貝流士小提琴協奏曲,更贏得留聲機大獎「最佳協奏曲獎」和企鵝評鑑三星帶花的至高評價。
