1952年創立於莫札特出生地的薩爾斯堡室樂團，六十多年來由多位出色的指揮家領導，一直延續第一維也納樂派的優良傳統。是次音樂會由當今炙手可熱的法國年輕指揮家布蘭佳亞帶領樂團，夥拍享譽國際及自2007年起躋身世界頂尖級管弦樂團行列的鋼琴家王羽佳，亮相莫札特劇院，一起演繹20世紀初多首樂曲。

樂曲包括拉威爾花了兩年時間完成的《G大調鋼琴協奏曲》，他自稱這是遵循莫札特和聖桑的精神寫成的協奏曲。而歌舒詠融合了爵士樂與民謠元素的《藍色狂想曲》，自1924年2月發表後獲得巨大成功，更成為最受歡迎的美國音樂曲目之一。高大宜的《加蘭塔舞曲》，靈感則源自加蘭塔民歌。還有拉威爾百聽不厭的《鵝媽媽》管弦樂組曲。


Salzburg Festival 2016: Yuja Wang and the Camerata Salzburg

The Camerata Salzburg, a musical mainstay in the city of Mozart’s birth, joins forces with French conductor Lionel Bringuier, one of the most promising young conductors of his generation, and Yuja Wang, who has established herself as an international sensation and a fixture among the world’s leading orchestras since her debut in 2007, for a concert featuring music of the early 20th century at Salzburg’s Haus für Mozart.

At the centre of the program is Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, a sparkling work composed, as Ravel put it himself, “in the spirit of Mozart and Saint-Saëns”. With its echoes of jazz and folklore, it recalls Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, also on the program and written as “a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America”, that has remained a hit ever since its triumphal premiere in February 1924. Folk music of Galánta is the source of which Zoltan Kodály created his “Dances of Galánta”, which will – together with Ravel’s orchestra suite “Ma Mère l’oye” – complete the evening.
