簡文彬 & 艾斯卡許 & 高雄市交響樂團《時空交響管風琴》

「我把我最好的一切都給了它！」才華奇高的聖桑斯不只是作曲家、鋼琴家、詩人、哲學家、天文學家、音樂學家、旅行家，更足稱古往今來技藝最高超的管風琴家。他的第三號交響曲《管風琴》華麗燦爛、光輝逼人，是集其譜曲技法大成之作，也是他最富盛名的樂曲，甚至成為不少電影的經典配樂。全曲既有古典均衡的優雅樂想，也有浪漫派波瀾壯闊的大開大闔。不只旋律朗朗上口、色彩豔麗繽紛，管風琴的運用更有畫龍點睛之妙，展現作曲家對此樂器的卓越造詣。同樣多才多藝，當代管風琴大師艾斯卡許譜寫的第三號協奏曲《時間的四張臉孔》，更充分發揮這個樂器的獨到魅力，聲響堆疊如波浪來回。要聽跨世紀管風琴大師的樂曲交會，就來衛武營欣賞簡文彬與艾斯卡許的頂尖合作！

 

Charles-Camille SAINT-SAËNS has been described as "the greatest organist in the world." His splendid and magnificent Symphony No. 3 is a musical masterpiece as well as his most famous musical composition. It has even become a classic choice for movie soundtracks. The melody is vibrant and memorable, and the use of the organ is the perfect finishing touch that reveals the composer's outstanding mastery of this musical instrument. The composer Thierry ESCAICH, a renowned organist in his own right, also displays the unique power of this instrument in his Organ Concerto No. 3, Quatre Visages du Temps, in which the notes are layered like rolling waves.

管風琴｜提耶里．艾斯卡許

提耶里．艾斯卡許身兼作曲家、管風琴家與即興演奏家數職，不但擁有獨特風格，也在同一世代法國作曲家中佔有一席之地。這三種身份相輔相成，讓艾斯卡許能夠以演奏者、創作者與合作者的身份活躍於各個舞台。艾斯卡許獨特的音樂語言奠基於法國樂派的拉威爾、梅湘與杜替耶，並時常援引現代、流行與靈魂樂風格，以強迫性的強烈節奏與涵蓋整體的架構作為主體。

提耶里．艾斯卡許的作品曾由歐洲與北美主要管絃樂團，以及麗莎．巴蒂雅施維莉與弗朗索瓦．列雷夫婦、瓦列里．葛濟夫、帕佛．賈維等音樂家進行演出。艾斯卡許曾任里昂國家交響樂團、里爾國家交響樂團與巴黎室內樂團駐團作曲家，而其作品曾於2003、2006、2011與2017年四度榮獲古典音樂桂冠獎。

管風琴家的身分深深影響了提耶里．艾斯卡許的作曲風格，他不但屬於由莫里斯．杜呂弗雷帶領的法式即興風格的一員，且追隨其後於聖斯德望堂擔任管風琴手。他時常於世界各地舉辦獨奏會，並將自己的作品與即興演奏納入演出曲目。他對戲劇充滿熱情，並曾舉辦「電影音樂會」，為《歌劇魅影》與《大都會》等默片配上即興管風琴與鋼琴伴奏。

 

Organ｜Thierry ESCAICH

Composer, organist and improviser Thierry ESCAICH is a unique figure in contemporary music and one of the most important French composers of his generation. The three elements of ESCAICH's artistry are inseparable, allowing him to express himself as a performer, creator and collaborator in a wide range of settings. Drawing from the French line of composition of RAVEL, MESSIAEN and DUTILLEUX, and imbued with references from contemporary, popular and spiritual music, the distinctive sound-world of ESCAICH's music is anchored by an obsessive rhythmic drive and an overarching sense of architecture.

Thierry ESCAICH's works are performed by leading orchestras in Europe and North America and by musicians such as Lisa BATIASHVILI and François LELEUX, Valery GERGIEV, Paavo JÄRVI, and so on. ESCAICH has been Composer-in-Residence with the Orchestre National de Lyon, Orchestre National de Lille and the Paris Chamber Orchestra and his music has been honoured by four 'Victoires de la Musique' awards (2003, 2006, 2011 and 2017). 

Thierry ESCAICH's career as a composer is closely linked to his career as an organist – one of the ambassadors of the great French school of improvisation in the wake of Maurice DURUFLÉ, whom he succeeded as organist of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris. He appears in recitals internationally, combining repertoire pieces with his own compositions and improvisations. His passion for cinema has led him to perform 'cine-concerts', improvised accompaniments on both the organ and piano for silent films such as Phantom of the Opera and Metropolis.

Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra (KSO)

 

Wherever there is music, there is you.

- A young orchestra which advances with determination

 

It is an asset for a city to have an orchestra of its own. Young and energetic, the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra (KSO) invites world-class conductors and masters for collaboration, and challenges itself by staging performances of diversified styles. The development of the orchestra focuses on both classical and crossover genres; it has not only created increasingly more high quality musical miscellanies for music enthusiasts but also planted numerous seeds for music appreciation and performance, contributing to the innovation of classical music.

The Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1981. It was merged with the Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra in 2009 as "Kaohsiung Philharmonic Culture and Arts Foundation". Since 2009, the KSO has made considerable contribution in the Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival, successfully promoting its grassland concerts. In the last decade, the KSO has collaborated with renowned local and international artists and music groups and staged numerous concert series. The end of 2018 marked the grand opening of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), where the KSO participated in the center's inauguration. KSO wishes to continue playing an important role in the center's concert hall.

The KSO has been invited to perform on international stages regularly. Reaching beyond city and country borders, the KSO advances steadily with the self-development goal of becoming an internationally acclaimed orchestra.
