貝多芬: 弦樂四重奏第一集 作品18,第1,6號, 作品95(莊嚴), 作品59,第1號, 作品127 / 多利克弦樂四重奏 (2CD)
作曲家: Beethoven
樂團: Doric String Quartet
受到全球聽眾和樂評家們的熱烈反應, 多利克弦樂四重奏已經確立是這一世代頂尖的四重奏之一. 為了慶祝25週年紀念, 這四重奏從事一個重要的新錄音計畫 – 貝多芬的弦樂四重奏全集. 這張第一集中結合了貝多芬早期, 中期和晚期的作品. 受到一位重要的藝術贊助者法蘭茲.約瑟夫.麥斯米蘭.范.洛布柯維茨親王(Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz)的鼓勵, 作品18的六首四重奏是他分別在1779和1800年首先完成的. 在完成了這一組之後, 他大幅的修改了前面的三首, 並寫給朋友說:＂我做了很大的改寫, 因為我一直到現在才學會正確的編寫四重奏, 等你收到樂譜時就會知道＂. 拉祖莫夫斯基(Andrey Kirillovich Razumovsky)是俄國駐維也納宮廷的大使, 作品59的三首四重奏就是奉獻給他. 作品95 (莊嚴 Serioso)是中期四重奏作品的最後一件, 是獻給貝多芬親密的好友兼富有才藝的大提琴家茨莫斯卡爾(Nikolaus Zmeskall), 也被認為是對即將到臨作品的驚鴻一瞥: 貝多芬晚期的四重奏. 在貝多芬的時期被音樂家和聽眾們認為是過於複雜和被大份的人誤解, 這幾首四重奏現在已經被廣泛的認為是有史以來最偉大的音樂作品之一, 並啟發了許多後代的作曲家. 在這一集中的作品127, 是這些偉大作品的第一件.
The Doric String Quartet is firmly established as one of the leading quartets of its generation, receiving enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics around the globe. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, the Quartet here embarks on a significant new recording project – the complete string quartets by Beethoven. This first volume combines works from Beethoven's early, middle, and late period. The six quartets Op. 18 were the first he composed, in 1799 and 1800, encouraged by Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz, a significant patron of the arts. Once he had completed the set, Beethoven heavily revised the first three quartets, writing to a friend: 'I have changed it considerably; for I have only now learned to write quartets correctly, as you will see when you receive them.' Andrey Kirillovich Razumovsky was the Russian ambassador to the Vieneese court, and the dedicatee of the three quartets Op. 59. The last of the middle-period quartets, Op. 95 (Serioso) was dedicated to Beethoven's close friend and accomplished cellist Nikolaus Zmeskall and is regarded as showing a glimpse of what would come: Beethoven's late quartets. Extremely complex and largely misunderstood by musicians and audiences in Beethoven's day, these quartets are now widely considered to be among the greatest musical compositions of all time, and have inspired many later composers. Op. 127, featured in this volume, is the first of these monumental works.
