John Adams (b. 1947) dedicated Naive and Sentimental Music to Esa-Pekka Salonen, who conducted the first performance, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, on 19 February 1999 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center of Los Angeles County. Written for a large orchestra including six percussionists, keyboard sampler, and amplified steel-string guitar, the piece was co-commissioned by the Ensemble Modern Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. The dedication to Salonen, who also conducted the work’s first recording (made for Nonesuch in 2002), was significant: Adams felt that Salonen led a ‘bipolar’ musical life, since as both conductor and composer he ‘experiences daily the jarring collisions ofpublic and private, of extrovert and introvert, and the harsh divisions between one’s inner and outer lives’. Such contrasts and clashes lie at the very heart of Adams’s sweepingly symphonic piece, which has also been used as the basis for a ballet (staged by New York City Ballet in 2009, with choreography by Peter Martins).韩国一级无码片在线观看
专辑介绍:Chandos公司扩大了其相当多的女作曲家的作品影响力,这张专辑是杰出的作曲家和教师玛格丽特·休比基(Margaret Hubicki)的音乐。这张唱片中的一些作品是她在20世纪30年代还在皇家音乐学院学习时写的。玛格丽特-休比基一生中大部分时间在皇家音乐学院担任和声教授,在那里工作了40年,直到1985年退休。她也是耶胡迪-梅纽因学校的理事和创始教师。除了作为作曲家的工作,玛格丽特-休比基还是一位出色的教师。这张唱片是在2005年7月玛格丽特-休比基90岁生日时发行的。这张专辑上的所有演奏者都是她以前的学生,录音是在作曲家的见证下进行的。创作于20世纪50年代的《From the Isles of the Sea》的灵感来自苏格兰的西岛,这是玛格丽特最喜欢的度假胜地,几十年来为她提供了许多音乐灵感。这部作品优美地描绘了潮汐的起伏和风中海鸥的叫声。这首内容丰富的钢琴奏鸣曲创作于1934年,在这次录制之前,已经有近七十年没有人演奏过了。《Full Fathom Five》是1934年对莎士比亚《暴风雨》中的歌曲进行的简短创作。声乐线条紧凑,钢琴部分具有丰富的表现力。左手的钟声效果唤起了海洋的深度和神秘感,而右手的半音阶则描绘了海洋的无休止运动。《Lonely Mere and Rigaudon》的灵感来自于马尔文山,音乐捕捉到了乡村的美丽和辽阔。此外专辑中还有很多其他的经典之作。
