著名的德國黑管演奏家：薩賓·梅耶（Sabine Meyer）

薩賓·梅耶（Sabine Meyer）曾被Classic CD雜誌評為20世紀100位最偉大演奏家之一。也許有人會懷疑梅耶是否為最偉大的單簧管演奏家，但是論單簧管演奏家的知名度來說，毫無疑問梅耶具有絕對的優勢。薩賓·梅耶成長於音樂世家，確切的說應該是單簧管世家，他的父親、哥哥、丈夫都是單簧管演奏家，他們三人還共同組成一個名為克拉羅內三重奏（Trio di Clarone）的單簧管三重奏組。梅耶本人則身兼獨奏、三重奏團長和木管合奏團團長等職，在歐洲各地舉辦音樂會、講座和音樂節。讓單簧管的知名度和美感得以再現莫紮特、韋伯、布拉姆斯等作曲家作品的風采，這都是梅耶得以成為20世紀最偉大演奏家的原因之一。

Mozart's Clarinet concerto in A major, K. 622 was written in 1791 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler. It consists of the usual three movements, in a fast-slow-fast form:

1. Allegro
2. Adagio
3. Rondo: Allegro

It was also one of Mozart's final completed works, and his final purely instrumental work (he died in the December following its completion). The concerto is notable for its delicate interplay between soloist and orchestra, and for the lack of overly extroverted display on the part of the soloist (no cadenzas are written out in the solo part). The slow movement was popularized by the film Out of Africa.



Sabine Meyer (born 30 March 1959, in Crailsheim, Baden-Württemberg) is a German classical clarinetist.

Meyer began playing the clarinet at an early age. Her first teacher was her father, also a clarinetist. She studied with Otto Hermann in Stuttgart and then with Hans Deinzer at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Hanover, along with her brother, clarinetist Wolfgang Meyer, and now-husband, clarinetist Reiner Wehle, who played later in the Munich Philharmonic. She began her career as a member of the Bayerische Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic, where her appointment as one of the orchestra's first female members, caused controversy. Herbert von Karajan, the orchestra's music director, hired Meyer in September 1982, but the players voted against her at the conclusion of her probation period by a vote of 73 to 4. The orchestra insisted the reason was that her tone did not blend with the other members of the section, but other observers, including Karajan, believed that the true reason was her gender. In 1983, after nine months, Meyer left the orchestra to become a full-time solo clarinetist.

Orchestras with which she has performed include the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tokyo NHK Symphony Orchestra, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic and the Berlin Philharmonic. In addition, she performs regularly with the Radio Symphony Orchestras in Vienna, Basel, Warsaw, Prague, Turin, Budapest, Brussels and Copenhagen and with major orchestras in Spain, Italy, Holland, Japan and Switzerland.

In addition to her work as a soloist, Sabine Meyer is a committed player of chamber music and plays all styles of classical music. She finds great value in continued long-term collaboration with other musicians. She is a member of the Trio di Clarone along with her brother and husband who have recorded many CDs. In late 2006 she undertook a short tour with the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. A particularly notable performance in this tour was at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra on 5 December. Meyer and her wind quintet have worked as members of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra with Claudio Abbado.^[1]

By the 1990s, she had become one of the most notable solo clarinetists, and has released many recordings since then. She records exclusively with the EMI label and can often be heard on classical radio stations. Recent CD releases include a disc of French music for Clarinet and Piano with Oleg Maisenberg, entitled French Recital. A CD of clarinet concertos by Ludwig Spohr and Franz Krommer was released in July 2007, for which she collaborated with her student Julian Bliss.

Meyer and her husband have two children and share a professorship at the Musikhochschule Lübeck, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and live in Lübeck. Her hobbies are cooking, reading and horse-riding. Other "members of the family" include a German shepherd cross, four horses (Sabine Meyer breeds horses) and several cats.
