【2023衛武營管風琴音樂節】《巴赫與葛拉斯》伊維塔．艾普卡娜獨奏會

2023年衛武營管風琴音樂節的首場音樂會在屏東演藝廳舉行，由拉脫維亞籍管風琴天后伊維塔・艾普卡娜擔綱演出。本場獨奏會聚焦在古今兩位作曲家——巴赫的大型管風琴作品，以及美國當代重量級作曲家菲利普・葛拉斯（Philip GLASS）的音樂。出生於1937年的葛拉斯是極簡主義（Minimalism）音樂的代表性人物之一，擅長使用重複的節奏和簡短的旋律，隨著時間的推移做緩慢的改變演進，宛若時間的長河，綿延不絕、無窮無盡。

葛拉斯也是著名的電影配樂作曲家，他所創作的電影配樂如：《楚門的世界》深受普羅大眾的喜愛。巴赫的管風琴音樂則是管風琴家必備的經典曲目，最能表現管風琴的獨特性及恢宏大氣的格局。本場獨奏會透過兩位偉大作曲家作品的相互參照，讓聽眾感受古典音樂三百年來的演變，並體會管風琴音樂的前世與今生。

In the first concert of the 2023 Weiwuying Organ Festival at Pingtung Performing Arts Center, Iveta APKALNA, an internationally-renowned Latvian organist, will take the lead. This recital features the music of two composers from different eras – a large-scale work by Johann Sebastian BACH and a work by Philip GLASS, a prominent contemporary American composer. GLASS, born in 1937, is a representing composer of minimalism. He’s skillful at slowly developing repeated rhythms and short melodies, making them sound like a river of time that flows forever.

GLASS is also a famous soundtrack composer – his music for The True Man’s World is widely received. On the other hand, BACH’s organ music, classic for organists, perfectly presents the uniqueness and grandeur of the organ. Through the juxtaposition of the works of these two great composers, this recital will allow the audience to experience how the classical music has evolved throughout the past 300 years and organ music’s development.
