  • 你不可不知道的100首交響曲與交響詩 （彩色版）

    by 許麗雯 ...
    「交響曲是世界，它應該包容一切。」古斯塔夫‧馬勒在音樂的領域中，除了製作規模龐大的歌劇作品之外，就屬交響曲與交響詩的演出陣容最為盛大，而各個時代的音樂家們，莫不以能創作出交響曲，為此生最為榮耀的事情。　　西貝流士的交響詩《芬蘭頌》，具有強烈的國家民族意識，激勵了這個在夾縫中求生存的北歐小國人民，而被譽為芬蘭的第二首國歌。　　馬勒唯一題獻給妻子艾瑪的曲子《千人交響曲》，不但動員了多達一千名的演奏與演唱者，為了減少演出時的噪音干擾，還特別情商慕尼黑交通局，在電車經過時儘量減緩速度，且不可響鈴。布拉姆斯是貝多芬投胎轉世嗎？對於布拉姆斯的交響曲創作，大家無不寄予厚望，希望再次回味那種強烈的聽覺震撼。但布拉姆斯卻回答道：「你無法瞭解，每當創作時，身後傳來音樂巨人腳步聲的那種驚恐是什麼滋味。」　　本書精選100首在音樂史上赫赫有名、規模宏大、震撼人心的交響曲與交響詩。從創作者、創作背景、創作理念 ...
