富蘭梭瓦 ( 鋼琴 ) 演奏 蕭邦 : 練習曲 OP. 10，華麗的大圓舞曲 / Chopin : Etudes OP. 10 ，Waltzes selsctions - Samson François ( Piano )

 

                ( Angel - 小學館 SC 1025 LP )

會挑這唱片其實是看在封面，這是看過 富蘭梭瓦 照片中最符合『酒氣財色終不悔』的形象。看報導說  François 在演出音樂會後會立刻去跑趴整晚狂歡到天明，更不用說平常日子就是夜夜笙歌，再鐵打的身體也經不起這麼揮霍無度 。

富蘭梭瓦 是法國 繼 柯爾托（Alfred  Cortot）後最出色的鋼琴家，不單擅長法國音樂連 蕭邦也是備受推祟。聽 富蘭梭瓦 彈蕭邦會發現特徵在於音色變化萬千，感情起伏也大。 本唱片 練習曲 OP. 10 中那些早己聽老的名曲如 "別離，黑鍵...."在他手中速度的彈性既自由又大瞻有如重新讓你認識蕭邦。季弗拉 ( Gyorgy Cziffra )的 蕭邦 練習曲 ( ( Philips AL3427 , 1963年 LP ) 也同樣是恣意而行，問題在於 季弗拉  這種 "跑江湖"彈奏方式充滿暴戾之氣，格調高下立判，就是沒有富蘭梭瓦 這份迷人的韻致。另一面的 圓舞曲 ，躍動的演奏有種閃爍式美感也是多彩多姿的。不過，也不是曲曲盡如人意，像LP-B ,第8號圓舞曲 作品64之三 這本是首明朗優雅的曲子，富蘭梭瓦 卻彈得偏慢顯得憂心忡忡，初次聽來是令人措手不及！

Samson François ( 18 May 1924 – 22 October 1970 )天才任性 ，享年 46歲。正如，電影 一代宗師，八卦掌 宮二 說『 人生如棋，落子無悔.....人生若無悔，那該多沒趣』。

Samson Pascal François (18 May 1924 – 22 October 1970) was a French pianist and composer.

漢斯·吳爾夫 指揮 布拉姆斯 : NO . 2 交響曲 / BRAHMS : Symphony No. 2 - conducted by Hans Wolf

 

                                ( REMINGTON - Plymouth / Merit  P12- 8，1952年 LP )


Plymouth / Merit 唱片其實就是 REMINGTON RECORDS ( 雷明頓 唱片 )的化身，REMINGTON 的惡行不單是像本片的化名或匿名的一魚多吃行銷，還有最糟的是當年 老板 Don Gabor 用的劣等膠質造成 如今大部份的 REMINGTON LP 揮之不去的噪音，這是項災難，因為再如何洗都不濟事，其實以 mono 錄音品質 是相當不錯的。

布拉姆斯 : NO . 2  一般被稱之為 布拉姆斯 的田園交響曲，個人認為和貝多芬 NO. 6 交響曲 " 田園 " 風格是不同。貝多芬 NO. 6 交響曲 是描繪 鄉郊步行的人文景色，而 布拉姆斯 : NO . 2 交響曲 卻是有如在北國蒼鬱森林中 踽踽獨行有自享孤寂的氣氛。最欣賞是 Carlo Maria Giulini  / Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra ( DG 2532 014，1981年 )。而本唱片中 Hans Wolf /  Vienna Tonkuenstler Symphony Orchestra 直率指揮聽得自然，尤其集中氣勢於終章的確相當傑出。

安德烈.柯斯特拉奈茨 指揮 克萊斯勒 和 隆貝格 的音樂 / Music Of Fritz Kreisler And Sigmund Romberg - conducted by Andre Kostelanetz

 

                                  ( COLUMBIA 33SX 1041，1955年 LP )                      

這片是33SX 系列 非 33CX ，一般 33CX是指古典樂而33SX 則為輕古典部份，當然是克萊斯勒和隆貝格的小品名曲大都耳熟能詳。柯斯特拉奈茨 的特點是長於編曲所以顯得精緻，舉例拿 Kreisler 小品一般是單支小提琴獨奏，而本片是絃樂全組整齊劃一加上 50年代全真空管錄音特別豐厚美麗特別好聽。

這是 英國 COLUMBIA 33SX 綠金標，而美國 COLUMBIA是藍標早版，其實都很好。
