Chopin Nocturnes Op. 27, No. 1 and No. 2

There are quite a few pieces of Chopin mentioned in cpv’s 傅聰談肖邦. I have found most of them played by 傅聰. For additional pleasure, I am going to post some of them next to 傅聰’s commends. Hope you will enjoy them. And thanks to cpv for introducing the inerview to us.

Let's start with Nocturnes Op. 27, No. 1, in C-sharp minor and No. 2, in B-flat major.

"傅聰：所以我最恨的就是「肖邦式」（Chopinesque）的肖邦，那種輕飄飄、虛無縹緲的肖邦。當然肖邦有虛無縹緲的一麵，但那隻是一麵，肖邦也有非常宏偉的一麵，他的音樂世界是多麽廣大呀！即使是肖邦《夜曲》，每一曲都不一樣，內容豐富無比。像是作品二十七的《兩首夜曲》，第一首升c小調是非常深沉恐怖的作品，音樂彷佛從蒼茫深海、漆黑暗夜裏來；但第二首降D大調就是皎潔光亮的明月之夜。兩首放在一起，意境完全不同。第二首因為好聽，許多人拿來單獨演奏，卻彈得矯揉做作，莫名其妙地感傷──我最討厭感傷的肖邦，完全不能忍受！肖邦一點都不感傷！他至少是像李後主那樣，音樂是「以血淚書著」，絕對不小家子氣！”
