Concert Suite from Sophie's Choice 莫,尼可拉斯 音樂會 組曲

這首 22 分鐘的組曲主要由尼古拉斯-莫的歌劇《蘇菲的抉擇》中的管弦樂插曲組成，其音樂元素並不總是按照歌劇中出現的順序排列，而是在更短的時間內以令人滿意的形式排列。與阿爾班-伯格的《露露組曲》一樣，莫氏的組曲也包含一個女高音聲樂樂章（可選）--在這裡是蘇菲的最後詠歎調，她在寫給愛人的信中，表達了對自己在奧斯威辛集中營的過去的可怕絕望"

原文簡介:
Mostly formed out of the orchestral interludes from Nicholas Maw’s opera Sophie’s Choice, this 22-minute suite’s musical elements are not always in the same order as they appear in the opera – but rather are arranged in a way which gives a satisfactory form over this much shorter time span. Like Alban Berg’s Lulu Suite, Maw’s contains one (optional) vocal movement for soprano – here Sophie’s final aria where, writing in a letter to her lover, she communicates her terrible despair about her past in Auschwitz. ‘An instant classic, a piece that will immediately touch and move people’. Sir Simon Rattle on Sophie’s Choice
