Trifonov這個音樂會曲目裏麵的史克亞裏賓和李斯特,恰巧都有人最近錄過:王羽佳在她備受好評的DG debut(Sonatas and Etudes)中就彈了這兩首奏鳴曲。我個人很喜歡王羽佳的錄音,與Trifonov拚在一起比較,也得到頗有趣而且informative的結果。Trifonov兩首曲各樂章的timing都比王羽佳短,整體彈得較快,表情較激烈:簡單來說,雖然兩人的硬技巧都極為輝煌,Trifonov比王羽佳更接近傳統浪漫派炫技家的風格,更熱更狂野、更不穩定和流動(volatile),王羽佳則更冷靜、理智。兩首曲剛好表現出兩人的分別:Trifonov更能表現出史克亞裏賓的夢幻與狂熱,王羽佳的李斯特則更接近著重結構清晰和平衡的主流現代演譯。
“Hearing Trifonov is like having a deep-tissue massage: You keep wanting to pull away from the sheer intensity of it, and you come out feeling as if your reality had been slightly altered. ”
”Part of what made the performance remarkable is that it could go to extremes, even to the edge of the grotesque, without seeming exaggerated. Or rather, the exaggeration felt like a necessity — the only way to communicate what needed to happen in this music.”
