专辑简介
这是伯明翰市交响乐团(City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra)及其首席客座指挥爱德华·加德纳(Edward Gardner)合作录制的“门德尔松在伯明翰”系列的第三张专辑。这张专辑收录了《风平浪静,一路顺风》(Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage)和《第二交响曲》,完成了对门德尔松成熟交响曲的考察。
《风平浪静,一路顺风》是门德尔松(Mendelssohn)音乐会序曲三部曲中的第二部,另外两部是《仲夏夜之梦》(A Midsummer Night’s Dream)和《赫布里底群岛》(The Hebrides),后者已录制在Chandos系列的第一卷中。作品根据歌德的两首诗歌改编,这些铿锵有力的画面描述了一艘船无助地停泊在公海上,然后被上升的风带向陆地的场景。开头浓郁的质感、极慢的节奏唤起了大海的平静,而随后加快的管弦乐高潮则鲜明地描绘了歌德的诗句。在十九世纪的大部分时间里,《第二交响曲》都被视为门德尔松最伟大、最具影响力的成就之一,尤其是在英国。新巴洛克程式与浪漫情怀的融合为这部混合交响曲——《咏叹调》提供了背景,它由三个管弦乐乐章和一个合唱终曲组成,其中流畅的协奏曲咏叹调与激情澎湃的戏剧性合唱部分形成鲜明对比。独奏者均为英国新晋青年艺术家,她们是才华横溢的女高音姐妹玛丽(Mary)和索菲·贝文(Sophie Bevan)以及男高音本杰明·胡莱特(Benjamin Hulett)。
