(2CD)蕭士塔高維契: 24首前奏曲及賦格
亞歷山大 梅尼可夫 鋼琴
1950年蕭士塔高維契赴德國萊比錫參加巴哈逝世兩百週年活動，順便受邀擔任第一屆國際巴哈大賽的評審，當他聽到年僅26歲的妮可拉耶娃彈奏巴哈的平均律後大受感動，促使他日後寫下24首前奏曲與賦格並獻給妮可拉耶娃，這位僅憑記憶便能演奏全曲的鋼琴家在往後的日子不斷演出這首作品，她的名字和這首樂曲已經完全劃上等號。同樣出身俄羅斯的年輕鋼琴家梅尼可夫，自幼便接受正統俄羅斯的音樂訓練，曾師事HM底下另一位著名鋼琴家史泰爾(Andreas Staier)，就學期間亦常受家李希特之邀參加他在俄羅斯舉辦的「12月之夜」音樂節與法國的Meslay穀倉音樂節，也是BBC第三廣播電台2000-2002年的新銳藝術家(BBC New Generation Artist)之一。他在HM的錄音除了獨奏專輯，也經常與小提琴家佛斯特、大提琴家奎拉斯合作室內樂。從2002年開始，梅尼可夫於英國曼徹斯特的皇家北方音樂院教授鋼琴。有趣的是他除了音樂之外，第二熱愛的事物便是駕駛飛機，還有私人飛行執照。 「...透過這首作品，可以感受到一位飽受煎熬之苦的凡人，如何一次又一次發揮無比勇氣面對時而多變艱險卻又時而美好的人生時所發出的吶喊之聲」?梅尼可夫
These twenty-four preludes and fugues have become so closely associated with the personality and playing style of their 'official interpreter' (Tatiana Nikolaeva) that history has ended up deciding that 'that's the way to perform them' without looking any more deeply into the matter. Yet this op.87 is brimming with fascinating answers for anyone who takes the trouble to ask the right questions; and it is not the least merit of Alexander Melnikov to have approached the work from first principles and come up with his own, eminently musical solutions!
