詹姆斯·高威RCA 录音作品全集
SONY MUSIC 88843026332
不拘一格、多才多艺的长笛之神—詹姆斯·高威(James Galway, 1939 - )擅长各式各样的长笛作品,杰出的表现每一次都能吸引众人的目光,也让人对长笛的地位再一次重新审视与肯定。2014年是他的七十五岁大寿,为此Sony唱片公司特别将他所有的作品整理成这一套令人心动了贺寿专辑。
除了古典曲目,高威也着力于当代音乐,以及通俗音乐;电影《魔戒三部曲:王者再临》配乐中便可见到他精湛的演奏。而一九七八年时,他吹奏John Denver的《安妮之歌》,能在英国的单曲榜上盘据三周之久。因为不自我设限,也因此他的唱片录音总是能够呈现许多不同的风格。
来自北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特(Belfast),詹姆斯.高威2001年被授与(OBE,大英帝国最优秀勋章(Most Excellent Order of the British Empire),简称大英帝国勋章(Order of the British Empire)的爵士封号。
他的职业生涯始于塞德勒韦尔斯歌剧院,先后在柯芬园皇家歌剧院、BBC交响乐团、伦敦交响乐团与皇家爱乐乐团,任长笛、短笛与长笛首席。1969年起任柏林爱乐管弦乐团的长笛首席长达六年。当年他应征柏林爱乐时,竟然迟到两个小时,指挥卡拉扬勃然大怒但也慧眼识英雄,乃要求他演奏许多未在面试项目内的曲目,而高威居然连谱都不用看,便能即席精确又完美地吹奏。1975年,开始他的独奏家生涯,每年演出上百场。多年的努力,让他已经跟长笛划上等号,只要提起长笛,多数的人一定会连想到詹姆斯.高威。也难怪他会获得「黄金长笛之神」(The Man With the Golden Flute)的称号了。
除了演奏传统与新创的长笛作品,由于高威本人对于长笛乐器的了解十分熟稔,在加上他绝佳的演奏技巧以及音乐灵感,因此他也经常改编古典与通俗音乐,以弥补长笛作品不足的困境。也因此他才能够在RCA唱片公司完成了大量的唱片录音,多年来他的唱片销售记录总计早已突破三千万张。对于其它长笛演奏家而言,将是永远难以突破的门坎。
这套专辑完整收录了高威历年来的录音精品,完整呈现其演奏艺术。无须过多的言辞赞美,录音自然吐露大师的音乐光华。爱乐者无需一张张慢慢搜罗,便可在这套专辑找到对高威与对长笛最完整的感动。
