幻想曲 (七位作曲家,七部鍵盤樂器)
亞歷山大.梅尼可夫 鋼琴/大鍵琴/古鋼琴/古槌琴(Tangent piano)

一位歷史鍵盤樂器的愛好者, 亞歷山大.梅尼可夫已經成功的接下探索'4首音樂,4部鋼琴' (HMM902299)的專輯和2018年音樂會的挑戰. 現在他又選擇演奏七件象徵性的幻想曲曲目作品, 使用大鍵琴, 古鋼琴, 古槌琴(tangent piano), 早期平台式鋼琴等各式樂器. 在他的鍵盤樂器時光之旅中, 我們可探索這些樂器在被製作出來時期的聲音, 但也可捕捉到這些樂器之間關聯的無形線索.

A lover of historical keyboard instruments, Alexander Melnikov has already successfully met the challenge of exploring ‘Four Pieces, Four Pianos’ on disc and in concert back in 2018. Today, he has chosen to perform seven emblematic works of the fantasia genre on harpsichord, fortepiano, tangent piano, early grands, and so on. In this journey through the keyboards of time, we can discover these pieces as they sounded at the time of their creation, but also grasp the invisible thread that links them to each other.
