【2023衛武營國際音樂節】《華麗‧ 巴洛克》女高音獨唱會-列茲妮娃與納塞西安

2023衛武營國際音樂節隆重邀請被紐約時報譽為「天使般優美」俄羅斯女高音列茲妮娃來臺獻唱。有著寬廣音域的列茲妮娃以既圓潤又細膩的嗓音征服全球聽眾，衛報更是以「完美藝術」及「令人難以忘懷的靈性演出」來讚美其高度技巧及詮釋。專攻18世紀和19世紀初的女高音和花腔女中音的音樂，列茲妮娃極度擅長演唱巴洛克歌劇，她優雅的花腔內斂自持又飽富能量，BBC雜誌曾形容她一上台便「如太陽般綻放溫暖及喜悅」，聆聽時彷彿被神聖樂音圍繞，如沐春風。此次更將重磅邀請俄國鋼琴家帕維爾・納塞西安同台演出，8歲開始巡演，1987年從莫斯科柴可夫斯基音樂學院以最高分畢業後，1991年獲都柏林GPA國際大賽首獎，自此活躍國際樂壇。

The 2023 Weiwuying International Music Festival will be inviting Russian soprano Julia LEZHNEVA, whose voice was hailed as ”angelic beauty” by the New York Times. With a wide vocal range, LEZHNEVA amazes fans around the world with her smooth and delicate voice. The Guardian has praised her stunning performance and interpretation skills as “unforgettable spiritual expression” and “perfect artistry.” Specializing in soprano and coloratura mezzo-soprano music of the 18th and early 19th century, LEZHNEVA excels at Baroque opera. Her elegant coloratura is subtly sung but full of energy; as BBC Magazine commented: "She is like a sun that can’t help but produce warmth and joy when she comes on stage,” it feels like the holy sound from heaven when she opens her mouth.

In this performance, the Russian pianist Pavel NERSESSIAN will be performing with LEZHNEVA. He started touring at the age of eight. After graduating with the highest score from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in 1987, he won first place in the GPA Dublin International Piano Competition in 1991 and has been active internally ever since.

出生於俄國庫頁島，女高音朱莉婭・列茲妮娃有天籟般的女高音音域，也兼具著次女高音圓潤溫暖的嗓音。5歲開始學習鋼琴和歌唱，17歲時榮獲艾蓮娜・奧布拉茨索娃歌劇大賽冠軍，年僅20歲即在薩爾茲堡音樂節舉辦獨唱會，隔年受當代第一抒情女高音卡娜娃爵士之邀，於倫敦皇家阿爾伯特音樂廳演出羅西尼的歌劇《湖中少女》，並被卡娜娃欽點為門徒，就此聲名大噪。2011年被《歌劇世界》評為「年度青年歌手」，列茲妮娃頻繁受邀演出於全球音樂廳及音樂節上，並以她擅長之韓德爾的巴洛克歌劇巡演於歐洲、澳洲及亞洲。她的經典演出還包括莫札特的安魂曲及《唐喬望尼》裡的采琳娜，及近年才被列茲妮娃發揚光大的巴洛克時期歌劇，葛勞恩的詠嘆調。

Soprano｜Julia LEZHNEVA

Born on Sakhalin island, Russia, soprano Julia LEZHNEVA has a celestial soprano voice, as well as the mellow and warm voice of a mezzo-soprano. She began to learn piano and singing at the age of five, won the 6th Elena Obraztsova Opera Singers Competition at the age of 17, and gave recitals at Salzburg Festival at the age of 20. Her international career skyrocketed when she performed at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2010, singing ROSSINI’s La Donna del Lago at the invitation of Dame Kiri Te KANAWA, who has chosen to present LEZHNEVA as her protégé. Named as the “Young Singer of the Year” by Opernwelt in 2011, LEZHNEVA has been invited to perform in major concert halls and music festivals around the world, including her grand tours of HANDEL's operatic works around Europe, Australia, and Asia. Her iconic performances also include MOZART’s Requiem and Don Giovanni (Zerlina), and Carl Heinrich GRAUN's arias, from the Baroque operas she repopularized in recent years.

鋼琴｜帕維爾・納塞西安

都柏林GPA國際大賽首獎得主鋼琴家帕維爾・納塞西安，為俄羅斯當代最傑出的鋼琴家之一，《愛爾蘭時報》評析他當年比賽盛況：「當之無愧地獲得觀眾熱烈反響。」 納塞西安曾就讀著名的莫斯科柴可夫斯基音樂學院，在1987 年以最高分畢業後，受邀任教於母校。

以絕佳說服力的精彩詮釋聞名，納塞西安擁有遠勝旁人的表演經驗，從8歲開始，便已在世界各地巡演，打下豐富的舞台基礎。除了吸睛的獨奏外，納塞西安亦與許多世界頂尖的室內樂團及交響樂團合作，包括傳奇的鮑羅定弦樂四重奏及俄羅斯國家管弦樂團，並曾受邀與基羅夫芭蕾舞團及珀姆國家芭蕾舞團同台，演出美國芭蕾之父喬治・巴蘭欽為柴可夫斯基的第二鋼琴協奏曲所編的《芭蕾帝國》。

The first-prize winner of the GPA Dublin International Piano Competition, Pavel NERSESSIAN is one of the most outstanding Russian pianists today. The Irish Times commented on the grand occasion of his competition in 1991: "His performance brought a veritable roar of approval from the audience."
