与“Grumiaux 那甜而不膩之琴音”相似，Sarah Francis的管声，亦是甜而不腻。

Sarah Francis曾师从 Pierre Pierlot，任皇家音乐学院教授，伦敦大键琴合奏团指挥。她生长在伦敦的一个音乐之家，父亲（John Francis）是长笛手，母亲（Millicent Silver）是著名的大键琴演奏者。

在 Hyperion CDH55080这张唱片，莫扎特那首协奏曲，Sarah Francis参照其长笛协奏曲，做了一些小改动，使之更接近小莫的风格。克罗默尔的2首，曲子极其出色，其演奏也是一点儿不含糊。她的管声，音色清纯、干净、欢畅，带有轻快、优美的弹跳感，别有一番仙女下凡之风情。其吹奏，气流不是很冲，但气息细长，换气十分自然，时机颇为合适（听不到任何呼吸声），口型、舌位、指法配合默契，控制力相当完美。 俺认为，克罗默尔的2首双簧管协奏曲，听起来似不逊于莫扎特的那首。此碟把这3曲放在一起，非常有见识，也相当合适。

Thanks Patzak's description of Arthur Grumiaux / Eduard van Beinum' Brahms VCT. I definitely will look carefully to dig it out some day!

By the way, the link you porvided is wonderful, very informative! Gracious!

Patzak先生提到的“另一款較罕有之Brahms小提琴協奏曲版本, ”，即Arthur Grumiaux / Eduard van Beinum 版本，我正好手头有，是我在1989年购买的一盘CrO磁带，录制的公司、乐队、指挥的名字以及录音地点与Patzak先生所言无二。质量非常好，但原来并不知道这是罕见版本，看来我拣了个便宜啊。

Patzak (2003-03-28 11:04:53) No.17

Patzak 想對那張 Philips 日版 Joseph Szigeti 專輯 CD , 再作一些補充.

Brahms Violin Concerto / Joseph Szigeti / London Symphony Orchestra / Herbert Menges

錄製之時候及地點分別是 1959年3月, 倫敦.

唱片編號為 Philips 32CD-3040 Joseph Szigeti 的華彩樂段, 亦是采用 Joachim 的. 而全曲之時間亦較 Arthur Grumiaux 為長, 特別是其慢版樂章:
1/. Allegro non troppo (cadenza: Joseph Joachim) ( 22'45" )
2/. Adagio (9'51")
3/. Allegro giocoso, ma non troppo vivace - Poco piu presto ( 8'10" )

而值得再提一下就是指揮的英國指揮 Herbert Menges (1902-1972), 他來自一個充滿藝術氣氛的家庭, 父親和大姊都是著名的小提琴家, 特別是那位女士 Isolde Menges (1893-1976), 相信一些愛鑽研歷史小提琴家技藝的朋友不會陌生的. 她的有趣故事, 有空再聊. 先回到 Herbert Menges 身上: )

以往 Patzak 在搜集 LP 之時, 經常會收到 Herbert Menges 的唱片, 但出奇地, 所有作品都是一些協奏曲曲目的, 從未見過他有別的樂曲的錄音, 有趣嗎? 而与他合作的這個獨奏家名單, 是相當之星光熠熠的:

鋼琴 : Solomon , Byron Janis , Shura Cherkassky, Moura Lympany , Jacques Abram
弦樂: Joseph Szigeti , Paul Tortelier

其中与傳奇鋼琴家 Solomon 的製作, 最為樂迷之稱頌!

............Herbert Menges, conductor , pianist and composer, was born in Hove on 27 August 1902. He was educated at the Royal College of Music where he studied with Holst and Vaughan Williams. He became the leader of the Brighton Society of Symphonic Players. The group later became the Brighton Philharmonic Society. Menges also composed music and conducted for the Old Vic Theatre where he became music director in 1931. He wrote the music for all of Shakespeare's plays performed at the theatre. He died in London on 20 February 1972........

.........Herbert Menges (1902-72) falls into the "holiday orchestra" group because he founded the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra (later styled Southern Philharmonic) and directed it from 1925 to 1972, though he also conducted much in London theatres, notably at the Old Vic and Sadlers Wells and composed music for many of the Shakespeare plays put on at the former. His score for Gordon Daviot’s celebrated play Richard of Bordeaux was a delicate one, for just harp, flute and strings. He published some songs including Buckland Bells, The Little Seamstress and, with violin accompaniment, Silence, Beautiful Voice. He was one of many English composers to study at the RCM with Vaughan Williams and Holst..........

Patzak (2003-03-29 17:29:36) No.20

上面眾多小提琴家之中, Patzak 大膽說一句, "Korsakov" 恐怕沒有太多朋友會認識的. 他究底是誰? 而這張 Brahms Violin Concerto 唱片, 又有何來歷? : )

事實上, 雖然這是由 DGG 制作和出版, 但卻是一張發行量不大的唱片, 因為它只算是比利時 Queen Elisabeth Music Competition 的一項副產物.

年青的蘇聯小提琴手 Andrei Korsakov (1946-1991) 當年曾在這項賽事中獲獎, 所以這才有機會得到 DGG 青睞, 在西方灌錄和發行這張編號為 2538 323 的 LP. 而協奏的樂隊, 就是 Grand Orchestre Symphonique de la BRT (Radio Télévision Belge ) 和它的音樂總監 René Defossez . 因為 Patzak 手上收有少量 René Defossez 在 DGG 這個時期的 LP, 所以略知一些個中之因由!

而我們在下面這個位於荷蘭, 專售二手 LP 的網上商店 "Clean record shop", 就剛好可以見到這張荷蘭版 LP 的封套剪影! 眾友只要在 http://www.cleanrecord.com/ 鍵入 Brahms, 便可以搜索此唱片出來了.

下面是一些搜索回來, 有關 Korsakov 的生平和經歷資料:

========================

Andrei Korsakov (1946-1991)

The artistic director of "CONCERTINO" ( The ensemble of the Moscow State Philharmonic Society )

.................he was awarded the title of People's artist of the Russian Federation. and the Bruxelles E.Izai foundation medal. He was a prizewinner of international competitions: of Paganini in Genoa, in Montreal, of M.Longue and J.Tibot in Paris, of Queen Elizabeth in Bruxelles, of Tchaikovsky in Moscow.

"Korsakov's technique can be compared with that of Heifitz. He can do everything, but it's more amazing that it goes with surprising equanimity and absence of any pose.../"Telegraph", Holland/.

"Andrew Korsakov offered his interpretation of the Tchaikovsky concerto, that was fascinating from the very first to the very last notes. It was a ravishing concert" /"Gazette", Canada/.

"Andrew Korsakov turned his debut in Vienna into a real feast" /"Courier", Austria/.

"Andrew Korsakov is a genuine musician. Perfect attitude, wonderful style, staggering depth of the feeling"/ "Dernier Heure", Belgium/.

http://hometown.aol.com/moscowconcertino/myhomepage/tunes.html http://www.sungjulee.com/review/abroad/1980.htm

==========================================

Anyone here can tell me something about Andrei Korsakov, Russian violinist (1946-1991). I just found this 2nd hand Melodia CD 'Fantasias and Pieces for Violin'. His playing in Zimbalist's Fantasia on Rossini's Otello, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's amazing, sometimes (in the finale) futuristic Concert Transcription on Rossini's Il Barbiere, Tchaikovsky's op.42, 1 and 3, a.o. left me chained to my earphones. Is there anything available from Korsakov in 'normal' repertoire?

..............according to the liner notes from Russian CD 10010, Andrei Korsakov was a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory having studied with Boris Belenky and Leonid Kogan. He won a prizes while a student at a Paganini, Thibaud, and Montreal competitions and at the Tchaikovsky and Queen Elizabeth (Belgium) competitions after graduation. From 1981 until his death he was artistic director and first violinist of the Concertino Chamber Ensemble in Moscow and was on the faculty of the Moscow Conservatory. The Russian Disc contains the Khatchaturian Concert-Rhapsody in B-flat minor (no, this is not the Khatchaturian Violin Concerto), the Conus Violin Concerto, and the Frolov Concert Fantasy on themes from Porgy and Bess. I'd hardly describe these as "normal" repertoire, but there you have it.

Donjuan 朋友, 有關法蘭西女小提琴家 Michèle Auclair 之技藝, 請參看 Patzak 和樂友的一些舊帖: http://www.bh2000.net/bbs/all/result.php?boy=1+Auclair ============================================

Patzak (2002-03-11 11:08:57) No.7

女小提琴家 Michèle Auclair ( 1924- , 相信許多樂友未曾听過她的琴藝. 但她1950 年在 Kurt W?ss 棒下拉奏的 Tchaikovsky Violin concerto , 是我多年來最合脾胃的演奏之一: 急驟而不狂野, 情深而不沉溺, 靜若處子, 動若脫兔, 既有纖幼溫柔, 又有雄邁豪情. 雖然後來 Michèle Auclair 曾替別的唱片公司, 重錄了兩次 Tchaikovsky Violin concerto , 但她這個 26 歲留下的 Remington R-199-20 錄音, 是無与倫比的.

我手上並非初版印制的版本, 今回得見此原裝正版, 心中的喜悅, 是難以言說的!!! http://www.xs4all.nl/~rabruil/remaucl.html

而上面文章亦提到 Michèle Auclair 曾在法國的唱片公司 Erato, 有一套Schubert's complete works for violin and piano, 彈鋼琴的是 Genevieve Joy-Dutilleux , 真希望以後有機會可以碰到這個錄音.

另外, 還有一個當年極具參考性的版本 : Igor Stravinsky's "L'histoire du soldat" ( 士兵的故事 ), 這是一張 VOX 老版唱片 PL 7960 , 合作者是法國殿堂級管樂大師 Fernand Oubradous 与及他的 Oubradous Chamber Orchestra. 這張甚具價值的唱片封套, 亦可以讓我們看到呢! : )

关于这套Schubert的小提琴与钢琴作品录音，我很喜欢。首先是音乐本身好。我过去听得不多，现在都有点奇怪，这么美的作品何以录音版本不多呢？至于演奏，我觉得很活泼，灵动。Auclair是巴黎音乐学院的教授，不知Genevieve Joy是不是也是。反正我觉得钢琴伴奏得太美了，很多地方给我以Francois的感觉，但又比Francois要明朗。我觉得两位演奏家把Schubert法国化了，不过我喜欢。

Patzak (2003-03-31 10:54:12) No.23

"Coup d'Archet" 這個唱片牌子, 過去以發掘女小提琴家 Johanna Martzy 的錄音, 分別以複刻LP 和 CD 發行, 而為國際上不少樂迷為之擊節贊賞. http://www.coupdarchet.com/martzy.asp

............Coup d'Archet was originally founded in 1997 to make available to discerning music lovers a number of lost recordings by the legendary Hungarian violinist, Johanna Martzy................

而除此之外, 還繼續鉤沉更多的女性頂級演奏家, 這包括了鋼琴的 Yvonne Lefébure ( 記得行人兄是寫有專文的.) 此外, 還有 Michèle Auclair 的一張專輯呢! : ) http://www.coupdarchet.com/coup011.asp

donjuan (2003-03-31 12:53:11) No.24

Thanks. Patzak! Already bookmarked them. I sure will pay close attention to any possible CD releases.

Patzak (2003-03-31 18:02:00) No.25

先轉貼一些上面提及的女鋼琴 Yvonne Lefébure 的資料! : ) Patzak 在網上找到了行人兄寫的有關 Yvonne Lefébure 之帖子, 大膽摘抄如下:

................带来的唱片共有三张，都是法国女钢琴家、柯尔托的女弟子Yvonne Lefebure(1898-1986)在70年代的独奏录音。其中包括我瞄准的贝多芬晚期奏鸣曲三部作合迪亚贝里变奏曲。还有一张则是唱片公司方面极力推荐的舒曼-舒伯特作品录音。……用了一天的时间将两张贝多芬连续的扫描了多遍，却是被吸引住了。……第一次看到Yvonne Lefebure的名字，倒是应为福特温格勒唱片中有一个和此人的协奏曲录音，但是此人是谁的话，倒是一点也不明白……贝多芬的最后三部作相当喜欢了，接下来想继续听听她的舒曼了……炎热的夏天就已经不知不觉地吞没了我们每一个人，我不知道大伙是否已经准备好了避暑——准备两张唱片、揣上两本好书多在家里避暑……: ) http://sh.netsh.com/bbs/3736/messages/24637.html

另外在一篇台灣友人譯寫的 "一次大戰前之女性鋼琴家介紹", 亦提到了 Yvonne Lefébure..........首先從 Cortot 的幾位女弟子的錄音開始說起：柯爾托身兼鋼琴家、教育家、音樂學者、指揮家，自他手下調教出來的學生也非等閒之輩，從 Youra Guller、Clara Haskil，到 Macelle Meyer與 Yvonne Lefebure，以及早逝的天才Lipatti，個個都能獨當一面，更可貴的是每位都有其獨特的風格，在鋼琴世界裡各自擁有一片輝煌的天地...........Lefebure九歲就贏過大獎、十二歲以李斯特奏鳴曲與舒曼交響練習曲開獨奏會。但除了橫跨教學與演奏的Yvonne Lefebure 較為平順以外，Youra Guller 與 Clara Haskil 均多次中斷演奏生涯、演奏與內涵均表現精湛的 Macelle Meyer 卻生平不可考、Lipatti 英年早逝.......Cortot 的幾位女弟子中，Yvonne Lefebure 的錄音雖不多見，論音色溫暖也很難超越德高望重的Haskil , 不過其音樂的層次感卻令人歎為觀止，她所彈的「耶穌，吾民仰望的喜悅」一曲，雖比不上原改編者 Myra Hess 的柔穆莊嚴，不過她卻能將巴哈多聲部的吟唱彈出不同音色、甚至味道，也算一絕.............同是法國籍的Yvonne Lefebure 亦然，她擅長的曲目也是當代法國作曲家作品，可能錄音年代太早，以致無法與後來居上的立體聲錄音分庭抗禮，更無法拜大唱片公司再版之賜，讓錄音傳入更多樂迷的耳裡。也許這些都是上一世代鋼琴家的遺憾吧..............http://iq943.tw.8d8d.com/fempianist.htm

而 Susanne Lautenbacher 除了拉奏各式各樣, 冷門或熱門的協奏曲作品之外, 更有不少室樂錄音留下來, 其中 Brahms 和 Schumann 的 Piano Trio 全集, 更是 Patzak 最喜愛的演繹之一! : )

而 Erica Morini 亦如 Gioconda De Vito 一樣有兩款此曲之錄音留下來, Patzak 估計 Donjuan 朋友收有的, 應是 2/. 的 1956 年版 Westminster (DG) 再版 CD了.

1/. New York Philharmonic Orchestra / George Szell ( 14/12/1952 Live Recording , Music & Arts )
2/. Royal Philharmonic Orchestra / Artur Rodzinski ( 9/1956 Westminster)

而 Patzak 手上亦是這款錄音, 不過卻是一張原版的 Westminster 黑膠唱片 WL18600 . 幸運地這位日本朋友亦把它擺放出來, 可以讓眾樂友看看這張 LP 的模樣了! : ) http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~RM4k-YMGC/mvw1.html

..............Erica Morini was born in Vienna in 1904 and was one of the last truly mythic violinists in history. In the 1920s and 1930s she became a staple of European musical life. She often collaborated with Wilhelm Furtwangler and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra until Nazi Germany came into power. Morini, being Jewish, fled to the United States to avoid persecution during the War. She continued her career in New York and became part of the generation of great mid-century violinists including Nathan Milstein, Jascha Heifetz and Fritz Kreisler. Milstein, after his final appearance with Morini in Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in d minor, confided to her: `Erica, we are the last! Only with you do I want to play the double concerto.' ..............

Hehe, Patzak, if one keeps on collecting all of those listed, his/her pocket will soon be emptied. Actually, mine is broken already! ^_^.

Don't know if you have done any comparison on the sound quality between EMI and Dutton CD release of Neveu/Dobrowen's Brahms. Mine is on EMI coupled with her legendary Sibelius. A fine performance, just relistened it today. But the sound is rather disappointing, kind of out of tune (slightly flat). I hope the Dutton one will open it up. If so, I might consider to upgrade it. By the way, I just realize that I have four by Oistrakh instead of afore mentioned three, but his live one with Kondrashin on Melodiya/BMG sounded too hush tonally, maybe it wouldn't be counted as one. :-) I also relistened his one with Szell tonight, again a little bit disappointed with the upclose miked sound and less than secure technique if compared against his earlier ones, esp. with Klemperer and Konwitschny. Now after a little bit homework, searching at RMCR discussion, I found there are at least three (live with Abendroth , Tahra, live with Pedrotti, Multisonic and studio with Kondrashin, Lys(?) ) that I haven't heard yet! Just don't know how they are sounded. How about you?

David Oistrakh 和 Cluytens 58年在EMI的贝多芬小提琴协奏曲一直是我的最爱，巧的是，今天上下班的路上我听的正是这个录音转的MD，回来一看到PATZAK兄列出这16个勃拉姆斯的清单，这些录音我居然一个都没有，能不心动吗？很想请PATZAK兄推荐一个演录俱佳的版本，以后有机会我一定找来听听。

偶有 French National Radio Orchestra / Otto Klemperer (EMI , 17 - 19 June 1960) Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra / Gennadi Rozhdestvensky ( Leningrad Masters , live recording, 1972 ) 都是在北京唱片店打折的时候很低的价格买的廉价版。好象4、5年前30-40元，当然现在这个价格也不算低了：（ BH怎么会没有碰到呢？

I own three of the David Oistrakh Brahms VCs:

Klemperer on EMI, Konwitschny on DG and the Melodiya one from the Oistrakh Edition 5-CD box. I heard the Szell version several years ago but slightly prefer the Klemperer (partly because of the sound of the Szell).

I received the new Shaham/BPO/Abbado (DG) yesterday. Although I only had time to listen to part of it I'll have to say I was very, very impressed by what I've heard so far. The last movement was superb, probably the most exciting one since Kremer/VPO/Bernstein.

Patzak (2003-04-15 15:21:50) No.43

在昨夜回家之渡輪上, Patzak 慣常地收听 Radio 4 的古典音樂節目, 剛巧在介紹 Hilary Hahn 在 Sony 制作的 Brahms 小提琴協奏曲, 巧嗎? : ) http://www.classicalmusicreview.com/Hilary_Hahn__Brahms.html

Performer: Hilary Hahn (Violin)
Conductor: Sir Neville Marriner
Orchestra/Ensemble: Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Date of Recording: 6/2001
Venue: Air Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, Hampstead
Length: 40 Minutes 23 Secs.

這是我第一次听到這錄音版本, Hilary Hahn 的樂感不錯, 琴音結實, 加上 Neville Marriner / Academy of St. Martin in the Fields 方方正正的襯托, 整首樂曲之處理, 嚴肅有餘, 靈活不足.

至於 David Oistrakh 的 Brahms 小提琴協奏曲錄音版本, Patzak 手上收有的是列出的 1,2,4,5,6,8,10, 其中 Staatskapelle Dresden / Franz Konwitschny 和 Cleveland Orchestra / George Szell 都是一等一絕妙之選! 其中 Konwitschny 棒下的 Staatskapelle Dresden , 那股沉鬱和深遠感覺, 是別的樂團難以型造模仿的; 而 Oistrakh 那份卓爾不群, 堅韌不拔之特質, 亦浸浸乎与其相互契合. 故所以在 Oistrakh 眾版本之中, 這是 Patzak 心中不二之選也! : )

Patzak 兄说的这个Hilary Hahn 的制作, 我觉得是近年来, 难得的佳作.

而且我觉得同一CD里的另一个STRAVINSKY 的第一小提琴协奏曲, 更为出采. Hilary Hahn 的弓法非常好. 音色很有弹性和透明感. STRAVINSKY的这个小协, 完全不同于织体稠密的Brahms. 他对小提琴的音色美感,在对比中作了近乎完美的展示. 有些路数,比如小提琴和圆号的对比, 是以前的协奏曲中,很少见的. 但一听就是STRAVINSKY东西, 空间感, 层次感和和对音色的偏好很强烈. 拿到这个CD, 听了第一段TOCCATA, 我就很喜欢了, 后来扒成了MP3, 放在CLIE里, 听了大概有七八遍. STRAVINSKY的第一小提琴协奏曲,以前有DECCA 有一个郑京和的和PREVIN的录音. 以前听就没有感觉, 现在再听更完了.温吞的象煮过火候的馄饨. 没有Hilary Hahn 的脆崩劲.

另外,Hilary Hahn CD 的NOTE,都是自己动手写的. 很有个性的丫头.

溪雷兄說的這首 STRAVINSKY 小提琴协奏曲, 雖非作曲家最具代表性之作, 亦算是充溢著濃洌之新古典主義風格, 但可惜並不屬於音樂會常露面之熱品呢!

..........這首小提琴協奏曲，是史氏刻意透過巴洛克時期的外衣包裝下，所顯露出來的音樂“真相”。全曲分為四個樂章，“扥卡塔（Toccata）”、“第一詠嘆調（Aria Ⅰ）”、“第二詠嘆調（Aria Ⅱ）”及“隨想曲（Capriccio）”，樂曲結構類似於巴洛克時期的組曲，與古典、浪漫時期的協奏曲式顯有不同。乍聽之下，音樂典雅而高貴，但埋藏在音樂中的現代樂音，卻不時地從樂句中迸出，那獨特的幽默旨趣，伴和著新奇的音調與和聲，令人驚艷叫絕。這部作品，沒有煽情的浪漫激情，也沒有刻意的哲理深度，在其簡單直接的樂音背後，確有著令筆著訝異的單純自在——好似慧詰的史特拉汶斯基對聆聽者的一笑，也好似史氏不自覺地“表露”出的方向................. http://garcia.uline.net/classic/52.htm

對於 STRAVINSKY, Patzak 有一份特殊之感情, 緣於一個自己最投入賞樂之年代, 每天超過十五小時都浸沉在曼妙樂聲里, 如飢如渴地吸收音樂中的一切...........記得 1982 年, 剛好是作曲家的百歲紀念, 而香港電台那舖天蓋地的STRAVINSKY 推介和導賞專輯, 大膽求新而多面多變之風格, 令 Patzak 一新耳目, 印象尤深呢!

Hahn's Brahms is very well played indeed, however, I found the violin sounded (could be due to different recording session) a little bit too loud in the second movement, not totally suit my taste. Strange enough however, I personally even prefer Zukerman/Mehta (RCA) or Little/Handley (EMI) to Hahn's rendition, although those two, easily available, yet still under many music lovers' radar screen.

Talking about lesser known romantic violin concertos, there is one already has my attention: Ripen/Gergiev Tchaikovsky & Myaskovsky: Violin Concertos( http://www.deccaclassics.com/newsandnewreleases/november2002/473343.html ). This is Ripen's second Tchaikovsky in less than 10 years (few violinist can have this privilege now a days). I have his earlier one and quite enjoy it (I think it's better than Vengerov/Abbado's one), but with this new disc, my interest is mainly in Myaskovsky's Violin Concerto which I have not heard yet. Unfortunately, I am looking for a SACD version, so have to wait for a while. Anyone here got a chance tasted it? Any opinion?

Peter Fang (2003-04-17 10:59:05) No.47

Ripen? Did you mean Vadim Repin? :)

Patzak (2003-04-17 11:01:14) No.48

看來 donjuan 朋友蠻喜歡 Pinchas Zukerman 在 RCA 之演繹版本呢! Patzak 素來亦是極之欣賞 Zukerman 的技藝的! : )

事實上, 在 Pinchas Zukerman 和 Itzhak Perlman 這兩位相友善, 從藝背景類近的小提琴家之間, 論喜愛之程度, Patzak 個人是較傾向於前者的. 可能除了他多才多藝之外 ( 中, 小提琴, 指揮) , 他的琴聲奏來總是那麼溫潤細膩, 捎帶著一絲絲的憂鬱, 他的 Brahms 中提琴奏鳴曲, 是最佳之例證也!

而 Elgar 的 violin concerto in b minor , 亦是別具一格之絕妙演繹呢!

至於Zukerman 的 Brahms 小提琴協奏曲版本, 我覺得手上這張 DG 2531 251 黑膠唱片, 應是一個相當優秀的版本了! : )

2/. Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra / Zubin Mehta

Yes, I meant Repin. Actually, I wrote Repen first then tried to change it, turned out it's still wrong. Thanks, Peter. ^_^

Gracias, Patzak. But I still don't know which one you are referring to. With CSO (I think it's on DG)? Or Orchestre de Paris (actually I am not aware of this one)? Well, I will see if I can get a copy. As for the one with Mehta, I really like Zukerman's control. So effortless. In comparison, Hahn's one seems a little bit over calculated. Patzak (2003-04-17 11:43:21) No.50 donjuan 朋友, 不好意思, DG 2531 251 黑膠唱片是指 1/. Orchestre de Paris / Daniel Barenboim : )

很久没有发言了，看到朋友们提到Repin和Zukerman，所以也来凑个热闹。

对Repin的Phlips新录音有些失望，不知这里有没有录音的原因，总感觉远没有ERATO的好。当时看到CD的演奏组合时，真的期望很高，有点像过去对Vengerov的那张感觉(也是期望很高）。倒是稍早拿到的Suwanai/Ashkenazy版本，感觉非常好，更早一点Garret/Pletnev的版本，明知不如Repin的，但总体感觉却不错，怪了。

至于Myaskovsky，因为很小就听父亲在我面前炫耀Myaskovsky长，Myaskovsky短的，印象很深，后来好不容易找一个前苏联Melody的版本，听的有点乏味(接受能力不够)，到了Repin这里，情况照旧。

看到说Brahms小提琴协奏曲，始终是最爱，以前国内少，差不多见一个拿一个(现在不敢了)，Zukerman/Barenboim/OdP是其中听的最多的，从LP到Gallery系列CD，可以讲走到哪，带到哪。有点对不起Zukerman的是，近来喜欢Shaham和郑女士的Brahms新录音，所以去年回家将Zukerman的拿回去了。

看到Patzak朋友说，唱片多的不知怎么办，我倒不是有多少，但确实有这样的问题，以前还按A-Z排列一下，后来懒了，经常是随便放，甚至是这个盒子装那张CD，最后结果是乱七八糟，到真要想找的时候还要费点劲。过去惜唱片恨不得如命，钱可以借，买张送你都可以，就是唱片不借。现在就是看到儿子拿它当飞碟耍，也就是吼一声罢了，自己都经常将两三张CD罗在一起也没有觉得什么。

变化满大的，不过喜欢音乐的程度始终没有变。

真開心在復活節長假後見到 cminor 朋友的帖子, 您好啊! : )

Pinchas Zukerman / Orchestre de Paris / Daniel Barenboim ( DG 2531 251 )

這個版本, 委實不錯, 年紀輕輕的 Zukerman, 精華內儉, 含蓄婉約, 不事虛張, 著是難得! 您手上是原版黑膠唱片, 還是再版的 Gallery LP? : )

早前介紹過的一位本港樂友: LeeHC 朋友手上正是後者, 編號為 DG 4158381 ( BRAHMS VIOLIN CONCERTO, VIOLIN SONATA NO.2 ZUKERMAN, BARENBOIM) . 其封套可在銜接中見到 ( 最底行右三) http://www.qkav.com/classic/classs02.htm
