专辑简介:
Most of the familiar orchestral versions of Richard Wagner's operatic music were arranged either by him or his followers in the 19th century, so the Overture & Venusberg Music from Tannh鋟ser & the Prelude to Act III from Lohengrin have long been performed in these special concert formats. But the main work of this SACD is the 1993 suite arranged by Henk de Vlieger, Parsifal, an Orchestral Quest, which is a fresh adaptation of the key moments from Wagner's final music drama. The work was commissioned by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, after de Vlieger, the ensemble's percussionist, had successfully arranged music from Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen into a similar orchestral vehicle for them. Parsifal, an Orchestral Quest was premiered on RCA in 1997 by Edo de Waart, & Neeme J鋜vi leads the 2nd recorded performance on this 2010 release on Chandos. Since the music is faithfully adapted from the original score & arranged into a coherent instrumental version that still communicates the broad outlines of the drama, there is little to debate over de Vlieger's choices, & J鋜vi's performance with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is fully satisfying. This album provides a balanced program of Wagner's orchestral music, from the somber meditations of Parsifal to the lascivious passions of the bacchanalia from Tannh鋟ser & the stirring emotions in the Prelude to Act III from Lohengrin, so listeners can expect a captivating listening experience that may also inspire them to seek out the full operas. 曲目列表:
