Vasaras vakara muzika (Music for a Summer Evening) 瓦斯克斯 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

彼得斯-瓦克斯在波羅的海作曲家圈中佔有特殊地位。他不僅是拉脫維亞有史以來最重要、最受歡迎的作曲家，而且總是以一種狂熱的激情向聽眾傾訴，似乎指向某種更高的東西。毫無疑問，這種更高的東西是超越人類世界的，但也存在於每個人的內心：神性。"我深深植根于自然，植根于北方的自然。它影響著我所有的音樂。我們所瞭解的大自然也是多種多樣的；我們有非常分明的四季。冬天很長，夏天很短，因此更加美麗和令人嚮往。中間的季節則頗具戲劇性"。 2009 年，作為一種 "安可"，Vasks 根據古老的草圖創作了《Vasaras vakara muzika -Music for a Summer Evening》（《夏夜音樂》），因此具有相當強的傳統性。 瓦斯克斯說："它描述了夏日寧靜的尾聲。夕陽西下。緩慢。對以往經歷的回憶湧上心頭。隨著回憶的出現，強度也隨之增加。在結尾處，人們聽到了一種民謠：'我們在暴政時期倖存下來，並保持了我們的身份'。結局是安靜的，一切都沉睡了"。(克裡斯托夫-施呂倫譯：約翰-派翠克-湯瑪斯和 W. 理查-裡維斯）

原文簡介:
Peteris Vasks occupies a special position in the circle of Baltic composers. He is not only the most significant and popular composer ever to come out of Latvia; he always speaks to his listeners with a fervent intensity that seems to point to something higher. This higher aspect is without a doubt something that stands above the world of humanity but is also present within each person: divine nature. “I am deeply rooted in nature, in the nature of the North. It influences all of my music. The nature we know is also quite various; we have four very distinct seasons. The winter is very long, the summer very short and therefore all the more beautiful and longed for. The seasons in between are quite dramatic.” In 2009, as a kind of “encore”, Vasks wrote Vasaras vakara muzika –Music for a Summer Evening based on old sketches and therefore rather strongly anchored in tradition. Vasks says: “It describesthe quiet end of a summer day. The sun sets. Slowness. Memories of previous experiences rise. With the memories’ appearance comes an increase in intensity. Towards the end, a kind of folksong is heard: ‘We have survived the time of tyranny and have kept our identity’. The ending is quiet, everything is asleep.“ (Christoph SchlürenTranslation: John Patrick Thomas and W. Richard Rieves)
