曲目:

貝多芬:D大調小提琴協奏曲
巴爾托克:《木偶王子》

結構端正又不乏驚奇轉折,筆法大膽卻滿是過人才氣,貝多芬膾炙人口的小提琴協奏曲由不尋常的定音鼓揭啟序奏,以「最富靈感的出場」讓小提琴獨奏現身,既是作曲能力與崢嶸銳氣的瀟灑證明,更洋溢源源不絕的前進動力與現代感。同樣從傳統出發,吸取前人技法而融會貫通,巴爾托克不只能將質樸猛起的農村曲調整理成自己的創作語彙,更以獨到觀點寫出前人未曾探索的心理層面。王子用木偶吸引公主,怎知公主竟愛上木偶而非王子—愛情之無名,人生之諷刺,全以幽微巧妙的手法在《木偶王子》裡娓娓道來,所幸還有令人滿足的喜劇收場。當紅國際名家卡普頌首次與國內樂團合作,加上NSO 巴爾托克舞台作品最終篇,熱門經典搭配難得名作,敬請大家拭目以待!

Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61
Béla Bartók : The Wooden Prince

Beethoven’s beloved violin concerto is a work built on the traditional concerto form with some unexpected rule-bending, and bold and brilliant strokes. It opens with unconventional repeated beats on the timpani. What follows is the Godinspired entrance of a solo violin which testifies to Beethoven’s composition abilities and penchant for challenging tradition, as it is also permeated with incessant momentum and modern sensibility. Upon first hearing, Bartók’s The Wooden Prince seems to be the opposite, steeped in tradition. However, he assimilated his predecessors’ techniques and turned the non-ostentatious and fixed rhythm of folk music into his own musical language, and explored psychological issues from his distinctive point of view. It tells a story of a prince using a puppet to catch a princess’s attention, not expecting the princess to fall in love with the puppet rather than him. The absurdity of love and irony of life are subtly yet nimbly conveyed in this work with an eventual happy ending. Featuring Capuçon, the highly sought-after violinist who is collaborating with a Taiwanese orchestra for the first time, and the NSO’s last performance of Bartók’s series, this concert is a must-hear for music lovers!
