专辑简介
切尔西·哈特·梅尔彻（Chelsea Hart Melcher）的首张专辑《此柔和,甜美：艾伦·萨普的歌曲》，生动呈现了哈佛大学作曲家艾伦·萨普（1922-1999）的作品。专辑中，梅尔彻情感饱满、极具力量的演唱，与萨普作品里精巧的歌词编排、丰富的和声表达以及跨越时代的风格演变相得益彰，形成了强烈的听觉亮点。这张专辑收录了多首佳作：早期新古典主义风格的《儿歌》灵动迷人；两个歌曲循环《苦难》与《女士与琵琶》均以英国文艺复兴时期诗歌为创作蓝本，充满诗意与表现力；还有两首创作于萨普后期浪漫主义时期的歌曲——《匿名同名人》与《雷利讽刺地设定》，风格奇妙而轻快。莉比·拉森曾这样评价切尔西·哈特·梅尔彻的演唱：“她的声音宛如大提琴，有着深沉而动人的共鸣……语气与音色都美得无可挑剔，令人叹服！”梅尔彻以精湛的演绎，诠释了这位师从皮斯顿与科普兰的作曲家所创作的歌曲循环，并在这些首演录音中，将作品的独特魅力展现得淋漓尽致。
