哈恰圖良[小提琴奏鳴曲作品選]

20世紀前蘇聯亞美尼亞族作曲家阿拉姆.哈帢圖良(Aram Khachaturian)1903年出生於一個亞美尼亞家庭，1921年他到了莫斯科，先在格涅辛音樂學院(Moscow Gnessin School of music)師承向米哈伊爾•格涅辛(Mikhail Gnesin)學習大提琴，及後更學習作曲。1929年他進入了莫斯科音樂學院(Moscow Conservatory)師承米亞斯科夫斯基(Nikolai Myaskovsky)學習。1930年他與同是作曲家的同學卡捷琳娜.伊策美洛娃(Katerina Izmaylova)共階年理，1951年起成為了莫斯科音樂學院的教授。哈恰圖良的創作風格帶著亞美尼亞民族音樂的特式，眾多作品中以舞劇《斯巴達克斯(Spartacus)》、《加雅涅(Gayane)》等最為出色，留傳萬世千秋。一個嶄新的合作，由來自日本的女小提琴演奏家宇田川杰子(Hideko Udagawa)配合俄羅斯鋼琴家布利斯.貝瑞佐夫斯基(Boris Berezovsky)攜手將哈帢圖良多首最值得重溫的小提琴奏鳴曲作品選包括[歌曲—詩篇(Song—Poem)]、[第1舞曲(Dance No.1)]、[哀歌(Elegy)]、[舞曲(Dance)]、[給小提琴及鋼琴的奏鳴曲(Sonata for violin & piano)]、[假面舞會—夜曲(Masquerade—Nocturne)]與及經典代表作《斯巴達克斯(Spartacus)》、《加雅涅(Gayane)》，部份的作品更是首次世界性以CD載體發行，最精彩的演繹無庸置疑！

樂評 :

“… this disc provides an excellent example of ensemble playing as well as showcasing Udagawa’s flair for Khachaturian. In addition it is the best available recording of the Violin Sonata.” William Kreindler, musicweb-international.com

“The extracts from the two ballets here are much recorded (although not in these transcriptions for violin and piano) and are given enthusiastic readings. But the real find here is the Violin Sonata of 1932. This thoroughly characteristic piece is played with great conviction, as are the other short pieces (such as the quirky Song-poem of 1929).” www.cdchoice.co.uk

“This is very much a partnership of equals with Udagawa and Berezovsky bringing out so much from this music. Such beguiling melodic ideas make for a disc to unashamedly revel in.” theclassicalreviewer.blogspot.co.uk
