NIFC - Adam Harasiewicz: Chopin Mazurkas

波蘭蕭邦學會的第二及第三張白色蕭邦已經到貨了. 一張是鄧泰山的夜曲, 曲目及曲目排列和黑色蕭邦的一模一樣! 我從來都不太鍾愛古琴的音色, 甚至音質, 總是令人感覺琴音比較啞色, 沒有現代鋼琴般的明亮而多變! 就如我無論如何都無法接受大鍵琴一樣, 但如果買點是刻意復古的話當然另當別論.

而這張1955年蕭邦鋼琴大賽首獎得主, Adam Harasiewicz 從1993-2010年, 10多年來收錄得來的馬厝卡舞曲錄音, 我對他是信心滿滿的, 詳細的技術分析我不太懂, 我就從聽覺上分別演奏家的詮釋理念和今天的演奏家比一比, 兩者之間實在有點差異, 例如速度, 細緻程度, 氣氛營造, 等等...都和今時其他的演奏家不太類同, 要看老一代人的演奏, 就算要掏腰包也要去捧一下場!

Halina Czerny-Stefańska

我這張 Halina Czerny-Stefańska(December 31, 1922 – July 1, 2001) 的蕭邦是日版的, 錄音地點本身也在日本.伊勢, 時間是1985.
我喜歡蕭邦, 而第一個聽的是Arthur Rubinstein的演奏夜曲(cd)...於是為之著迷, 更踏上一條不歸路.....愈耍愈遠呢!!
從前, 是因為先入為主的關係呢, 喜歡重搥式的風格, 結實而令人為之入迷, 為之震懾, 及後喜歡了至愛的Horowitz, 炫技味重, 極具個人風格(我個人思維比較極端); 後來是Sofronitsky, Francois, Argerich, Pollini, Bunin, Zimmerman, 鄧泰山, Sultanov, Blechacz, 等等等等. 一個個著名的演奏家都有他們的擅長, 尤其現場的錄音往往令人為之而神往!直至見識過這位波蘭演奏家的錄音, 她是1949年蕭邦鋼琴大賽的首獎得主(當年首獎有兩名, 另一位是Bella Davidovich, 也就是小提琴家Julian Sitkovetsky的妻子), 她的演奏甚具傳統風格, 容易營造出蕭邦的結象力和氣氛, 似乎(暫時覺得)夜曲, 馬厝卡, 及波蘭舞曲是她的強項, 正在努力找出她其他錄音呢!!
