巴爾托克/善多·華列斯/李蓋悌/艾特沃許: 小提琴/中提琴無伴奏作品集
努莉特.史塔克 小提琴/中提琴

這張專輯的作品是在1935到2019年之間由四位匈牙利作曲家寫出: 巴爾托克是善多·華列斯(Sandor Veress)的老師, 華列斯的學生是李蓋悌, 而李蓋悌是一個對艾特沃許(Peter Eotvos)早期形成影響的一個人. 他們的作品都有文化修養與流行元素, 西方音樂傳統與民俗音樂, 尤其是與東歐音樂之間對話的概念. 此概念在二十世紀初由巴爾托克親自制定, 構想是在一件藝術音樂中使用民俗元素, 這不只是用來振興傳統古典音樂的工具, 也是一個結合各種不同文化的方法.

在此專輯錄製的作品中, 這種對話以各種方式表達出來, 例如在巴爾托克和李蓋悌的奏鳴曲獨奏中參考巴洛克風格的慣例型式和民俗風格對話. 而在艾特沃許(屬七和弦的冒險, Adventures of the Dominant Seventh Chord)範例中, 屬七和弦代表的是西方的調性(tonality). 雖然經常重複地出現, 但此和弦卻未曾達到預期中的解決(resolution) – 反而是面對著受東歐民俗音樂啟發的非調性原料. 居住在德國的小提琴家努莉特.史塔克(Nurit Stark)是出生於一個在以色列來自於羅馬尼亞的家庭中. 艾特沃許的作品 – 是寫給她的 – 因此提供一個完美的結尾給這個非常個人的錄音計畫, 應用音樂能力來跨越文化, 地理和意識型態的疆界.

The works on this album were written between 1935 and 2019 by four Hungarian composers: Bela Bartok, who was the teacher of Sandor Veress, who taught Gyorgy Ligeti, who in turn was an early but formative influence on Peter Eotvos. Their compositions all share the idea of a dialogue between cultured and popular elements, between a Western music tradition and folk music, particularly of Eastern Europe. This idea was formulated in the early 20th century by Bartok himself, who considered the use of folk elements in a piece of art music not only as a tool to revitalize the Classical tradition but also as a mean to unite different cultures.

In the works recorded here, the dialogue is manifested in various ways, for instance through references to Baroque idioms and forms as well as folk styles in the solo sonatas by Bartok and Ligeti. In the case of Adventures of the Dominant Seventh Chord by Peter Eotvos it is the dominant seventh chord that stands as a symbol of Western tonality. Recurring frequently, the chord never reaches the expected resolution, however – instead it is confronted with non-tonal materials inspired by the folk music of Eastern Europe. Based in Germany, the violinist Nurit Stark was born in Israel into a family which hails from Romania. Peter Eotvos's work – which was written for her – therefore provides the perfect ending to this very personal project, dealing with the ability of music to cross cultural, geographical and ideological borders.
