美國作曲家 (伯恩斯坦/巴伯/艾伍士: 管絃樂作品集)
詹姆斯．加菲根 指揮
琉森交響樂團

指揮詹姆斯．加菲根與琉森交響樂團的最新發行專輯是他們多面向合夥關係活生生的見證, 邀請我們探索這些作曲家們的美國根源, 從最調皮的(伯恩斯坦的西城故事)到靈性的(艾伍士:第三號交響曲, 源自於他的管風琴獨奏作品). 露絲.克勞佛的弦樂行板用戲劇性的強烈不和諧聲音, 以一種催眠和煩躁不安的形式施展魔力,  同時巴伯大膽強力的給管風琴與管弦樂的觸技曲顯露出這件聞名的大師作品很少聽到的一種面向. 這是一場令人振奮的表演.

Vivid testimony to the multifaceted partnership of James Gaffigan and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, their latest release invites us to explore the conductor's American roots, from the most mischievous (Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story) to the spiritual (Charles Ives' Symphony No.3, based on his works for solo organ). With dramatically potent dissonances, Ruth Crawford's Andante for strings casts a spell in the form of a hypnotic and restless nocturne, while Samuel Barber's boldly athletic Toccata for organ and orchestra reveals a rarely heard aspect of this well-known master. An electrifying performance!
