[試聽]吉他協奏曲 CONCERTO ANTICO - Richard Harvey

今天從收音機聽到一首吉它協奏曲，是英國現代作曲家Richard Harvey （(ex band member of rock band Gryphon)）1996年為著名吉他演奏家John William 和倫敦交響樂團（London Symphony Orchestra）寫的。

　這裏聽到的是該協奏曲的第三樂章，全曲一共５個樂章：

1. Concerto Antico For Guitar And Small Orchestra: I. Alborada

2. Concerto Antico For Guitar And Small Orchestra: II. Contredanse

3. Concerto Antico For Guitar And Small Orchestra: III. Cantilena

4. Concerto Antico For Guitar And Small Orchestra: IV. Forlana

5. Concerto Antico For Guitar And Small Orchestra: V. Lavolta

很奇怪這麽美的吉他協奏曲１９９６年就有了，　為什麽演奏得並不是那麽多呢？在吉他協奏曲聽得最多的還是Joaquín Rodrigo的aranjuez concerto,  Vivaldi 的Gitar Concerto in D, 對其他我聽得少。
