Piano Concerto (The Solway Canal) for solo piano, male choir (TTBB, 18 voices) and orchestra 布萊亞斯 鋼琴協奏曲 鋼琴 合唱團 人聲 管弦樂團 總譜 朔特版

加文-布賴爾斯多年來一直對鋼琴作品敬而遠之，事實上，在他的作品目錄中，鋼琴作品屈指可數。因此，他在 60 多歲時開始創作自己的第一部鋼琴協奏曲是一項重大的事業。然而，荷蘭鋼琴家拉爾夫-範-拉特（Ralph van Raat）精湛的技藝和敏銳的洞察力讓布賴爾斯相信，他應該大膽嘗試，為這一體裁添上自己的一筆。這部作品由博萊蒂-布索尼信託基金和荷蘭公共廣播公司 NPS 共同委託創作，重點突出鋼琴的旋律線條和音質，獨奏者將自己融入管弦樂的結構之中。在布索尼的引領下，布賴爾斯還在作品中加入了男聲合唱團，演唱蘇格蘭詩人愛德溫-摩根的作品"

原文簡介:
Gavin Bryars has for many years shied away from writing for piano, indeed there are only a smattering of works in his catalogue for the instrument. So for him to embark upon his first piano concerto in his 60s was a major undertaking. The technical brilliance and inquisitive mind of the Dutch pianist Ralph van Raat however convinced Bryars that he should take the plunge and add his own addition to the genre. Jointly commissioned by the Borletti Buitoni Trust and Dutch Public Broadcaster NPS, the work focuses on the melodic line and sonorous qualities of the piano with the soloist embedding himself into the orchestral texture. Taking the lead from Busoni, Bryars also includes a male-voice choir in the work who sing settings of Scottish poet Edwin Morgan.
