作曲:Sylvius Leopold Weis
巴洛克鲁特琴独奏:Hopkinson Smith
专辑介绍:
怀斯(Sylvius Leopold Weiss,1686-1750)是巴洛克时期德国最伟大的鲁特琴演奏家、作曲家,也是一生几乎只为鲁特琴这种乐器写作的作曲家及杰出的鲁特琴演奏大师,怀斯共创作了六百多首的鲁特琴独奏作品。
相对于巴赫的声名赫赫,怀斯对于大多数的今人而言可谓寂寂无闻了,这颇有些造化弄人的味道;岂不知,在当时怀斯与巴赫同样的大名鼎鼎。据说在怀斯的生前人们将其在鲁特琴演奏上的造诣和巴赫在键盘乐器演奏上的造诣是相提并论的,认为二者在各自乐器上的演奏技艺均臻化境。随着鲁特琴逐渐退出历史舞台,怀斯及其创作的鲁特琴作品也渐渐淡出了人们的视野,绝大多数的爱乐人在很长的一段时间里都无缘聆赏大师创作的那些卓绝的音乐作品了。
巴洛克鲁特琴共有十三组弦(2单弦+11复弦);双颈鲁特琴(Theorbo)有十四条单弦。音乐批评家、作曲家马泰松(Johann Mattheson,1681-1764)曾说:“如果一位鲁特琴家活了八十岁,他一定花了六十年调音”(引自 E.G.Baron.The Study of Lute, California: Instrumenta Antiqua Publicatiom[M],1976:第95页)。同时代最伟大的鲁特琴家怀斯(Sylvius Leopold Weiss,1686-1750) 十岁开始弹鲁特琴,五十岁时也曾对人开玩笑说:“我只弹了二十年的鲁特琴,因为另外的二十年也花在调音上。”这些虽可当笑话来看,但这确实是鲁特琴生命延续的困难之处。
霍金森·史密斯(Hopkinson Smith,1946- )是一位知道怎样让巴洛克拨弦音乐激出火花的演奏家,也是当今乐坛最重要的鲁特琴(Lute)、巴洛克吉他(Baroque Guitar)、比尤埃拉琴(Vihuela)演奏大师。
Silvius Leopold Weiss (October 12, 1687 – October 16, 1750) was a German composer and lutenist.
Born in Grodkow, the son of Johann Jacob Weiss, also a lutenist, he served at courts in Breslau, Rome, and Dresden, where he died. Until recently, he was thought to have been born in 1686, but recent evidence suggests that he was in fact born the following year.
Weiss was one of the best-known and most technically accomplished lutenists of his day. He was also a prolific composer for the instrument, and wrote around 600 pieces for it. Many of his works are grouped into 'sonatas' (not to be confused with the later classical sonata, based on sonata form) or suites, which consist mostly of baroque dance pieces. Weiss also wrote chamber pieces and concertos, but no complete example survives.
In later life, Weiss became a friend of J.S. Bach. The two were said to have competed in improvisation, as the following account by Johann Friedrich Reichardt describes:
"Anyone who knows how difficult it is to play harmonic modulations and good counterpoint on the lute will be surprised and full of disbelief to hear from eyewitnesses that Weiss, the great lutenist, challenged J. S. Bach, the great harpsichordist and organist, at playing fantasies and fugues."
