索姆唱片公司的最新发行专辑聚焦于伊沃·格尼、亚瑟·布利斯和杰拉尔德·芬齐,他们各自以独特的方式,在20世纪初英国音乐中英格兰田园风格的迅速转变过程中发挥了关键作用。这张唱片中还收录了伊恩·维纳布尔斯的作品,他的音乐借鉴了格尼、布利斯和芬齐的风格脉络,但融入了现代主义元素,形成了独具特色的个人风格。
伊沃·格尼的七首小提琴与钢琴作品——此次为首次发行——创作于1908年至1909年间,早于他在伦敦跟随查尔斯·维利尔斯·斯坦福爵士学习的时期。这些作品包括充满深情的具有埃尔加风格的《忧伤的歌》;《在九月》和《在八月》;一首《浪漫曲》;一首《传奇》;一首旋律优美的《民间故事》;以及难得一见的尝试轻松风格的《幽默曲》。
亚瑟·布利斯在索姆河战役中受伤,他的单乐章《小提琴奏鸣曲》标志着他音乐风格的一次转变,这是对战争带来的情感和文化动荡的回应。该奏鸣曲将他早期所受影响中的田园风格的温暖与即将成为其标志性风格的大胆创新相结合,捕捉到了布利斯作品中英格兰田园浪漫主义的最后痕迹。
杰拉尔德·芬齐的《小提琴与钢琴挽歌》散发着田园般的宁静气息,但在其宁静的表面之下,是一片由他在第一次世界大战中失去三个兄弟和他敬爱的老师欧内斯特·法拉所带来的个人悲痛塑造而成的复杂情感世界。此次演奏还强调了《挽歌》中的对位织体和节奏精准度,这些都显示出巴赫的影响,而巴赫正是芬齐音乐灵感的基石之一。
这场独奏会以伊恩·维纳布尔斯的作品开场和结尾,伊恩被广泛认为是英国在世的最有成就的作曲家之一。他1989年创作的两乐章《奏鸣曲》以小提琴和钢琴之间内省抒情的忧郁对话开场。相比之下,第二乐章则展现了乐器之间精湛的相互呼应。《三首小提琴与钢琴小品》创作于1986年,就在维纳布尔斯搬到伍斯特之后不久,这些作品捕捉到了他对塞文河谷风景的感受。开场的《田园曲》传达出一种宁静而富有表现力的质朴;《浪漫曲》则更具反思性和内省性;而最后的《舞曲》则展示了维纳布尔斯在音乐中注入活力和趣味的能力。
屡获殊荣的台湾小提琴家杨筑宇(Joe Chu-Yu Yang)在英国的事业正蓬勃发展,他是英国音乐的热情倡导者,也是台湾英国音乐节的创始人。他与埃里克·麦克尔罗伊以二重奏的形式进行独奏会演出,埃里克被《音乐评论》描述为 “他那一代领先的作曲家兼钢琴家之一”。埃里克的首张个人CD《火之舌》,收录了他为钢琴和男高音创作的作品,由索姆唱片公司以编号SOMMCD 0665发行。

In its latest release, SOMM Recordings focuses on Ivor Gurney, Arthur Bliss, and Gerald Finzi who, each in their own distinct way, played a pivotal role in the rapid transformation of English pastoralism in early twentieth-century British Music. Ian Venables’ music, also included on this disc, draws on a lineage that includes Gurney, Bliss, and Finzi, yet it incorporates modernist elements, creating a style that is uniquely his own.
The seven works for violin and piano by Ivor Gurney—appearing here for the first time—come from 1908-1909, pre-dating his studies in London with Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. They include the poignant Elgarian Chanson Triste; In September and In August; a Romance; a Legende; a melodic Folk Tale; and a rare attempt at a lighter mood with a Humoreske.
Arthur Bliss was wounded in the Battle of the Somme, and his single-movement Violin Sonata marks a transition in his musical style in response to the emotional and cultural upheaval of the War. Bridging the pastoral warmth of his early influences with the bold innovations that would soon define his voice, the sonata captures the last traces of English pastoral romanticism in Bliss’s output.
The Elegy for Violin and Piano by Gerald Finzi exudes a pastoral tranquillity, but beneath its serene surface lies a complex emotional landscape shaped by the personal grief of losing his three brothers and his beloved teacher, Ernest Farrar, in World War I. This present performance also emphasises the Elegy’s contrapuntal texture and rhythmic precision, which show the influence of Bach, a cornerstone of Finzi’s musical inspiration.
The recital opens and closes with works by Ian Venables, widely regarded as one of Britain’s most accomplished living composers. His two-movement Sonata from 1989 begins with a melancholic dialogue of introspective lyricism between the violin and piano. By contrast, the second movement exhibits a virtuosic interplay of the instruments. The Three Pieces for Violin and Piano come from 1986, shortly after Venables moved to Worcester, and they capture his response to the Severn Valley landscape. The opening Pastorale conveys a tranquil yet expressive simplicity; the Romance is more reflective and introspective; while the final Dance showcases Venables’s ability to inject energy and playfulness into his music.
The award-winning Taiwanese violinist Joe Chu-Yu Yang, whose career in Britain is beginning to flourish, is a passionate advocate for British music and founder of the British Music Festival in Taiwan. He performs in recital as a duo with Eric McElroy, described by Musical Opinion as “one of the leading composer-pianists of his generation.” Eric’s debut CD, Tongues of Fire, featuring his own works for piano and tenor, was released on SOMMCD 0665.
