Trombes D'eau 低音大提琴

弗朗索瓦-拉巴：低音提琴長號 (AL 30 748) 低音提琴演奏家弗朗索瓦-拉巴在國際上享有盛譽，他既是一位不懈的教師，著有《新低音提琴技巧》（Nouvelle technique de la contrebasse），整整一代學生都希望擺脫傳統教學的束縛；又是一位靈感迸發的獨奏家，在音樂會上毫不吝惜自己的才華。幾年來，他已經習慣於在夏季到坎薩斯城（密蘇里州）舉辦幾天大師班，並在坎薩斯城低音提琴節的框架內舉辦一場音樂會。2016 年 7 月，一個令人感動的驚喜等待著他：在美國爵士樂博物館的舞臺上，一幅由當地藝術家魯西-英格拉姆（Ruthie Ingram）根據前一年他在演奏會上拍攝的照片繪製的全身肖像揭幕了。為了表示感謝，拉巴特將這首約六分鐘的獨奏曲《Trombes deau》獻給了她，這是他在國際低音提琴家協會的鼓勵下為 2017 年國際低音提琴比賽創作的。這首作品是對一個慷慨激昂的主題的一系列簡短變奏，強調了令人回味的滑音，並探索了雙停止和人工和聲，但從未犧牲本質：音樂表達的樂趣"

原文簡介:
“François Rabbath : Trombes deau for double bass (AL 30 748) The international fame of bass player François Rabbath acknowledges both the untiring teacher, author of a Nouvelle technique de la contrebasse, which a whole generation of students, desirous of freeing themselves from the fetters of traditional teaching, has taken up, and the inspired soloist, unsparing of himself in concert. For several years now, he has become accustomed to spending a few days in the summer in Kansas City (Missouri) to give master classes and a concert there, in the framework of the KC BassFest. In July 2016, a moving surprise awaited him: on the stage of the American Jazz Museum a full-length portrait was unveiled, painted by local artist Ruthie Ingram from photos taken during his recital the previous year. By way of thanks, Rabbath dedicated Trombes deau to her, a solo piece lasting approximately six minutes, composed at the instigation of the International Society of Bassists for the 2017 edition of the International Double Bass Competition. Conceived as a series of short variations on an impassioned theme, the work emphasises evocative glissandi and explores double stopping and artificial harmonics without ever sacrificing the essential: the pleasure of musical expression.”
