Gran Duo New Edition 林德貝里．馬格努斯 二重奏 總譜 博浩版

這是 1999-2000 年間木管與銅管兩個管弦樂家族之間的對話的新版本，每個管弦樂家族都有各自的素材。它們最初的角色相當於'陽剛'和'陰柔'的詩意刻板印象，但在作品的演奏過程中，隨著大型音群讓位於室內樂式的小組合和單個樂器獨奏，它們的角色逐漸變得模糊和雌雄同體。作品的純風配樂給作曲帶來了各種挑戰。作曲家曾說過 "如果沒有人演奏，就什麼也聽不到"，因此必須在沒有弦樂聲部支援的情況下營造出聲音持續的假像。同樣，由於沒有打擊樂器幫助發音，因此必須精心雕琢清晰的攻擊和重音。用《倫敦時報》的話說，"林德伯格是一位管弦樂大師，他選擇了與斯特拉文斯基的《管樂交響曲》幾乎相同的力量，《Gran Duo》有五個相連的樂章，是一部現代意義上的交響曲......這是一部陰鬱而寧靜的作品，反映了某種獨特的風景"

原文簡介:
New edition of this 1999–2000 dialogue between the two orchestral families of woodwind and brass, each with their respective material. Their initial characters, equating to the poetic stereotypes of ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’, become progressively blurred and androgynised during the course of the work as larger sound masses give way to chamber music-style sub-groupings and individual instrumental solos. The wind-only scoring of the work posed various compositional challenges. The composer has stated that ‘if no-one is playing, nothing is heard’, so the illusion of sustained sound has to be created without the support of a string section. Similarly, clear attack and accentuation have to be carefully sculpted, as there is no percussion to help articulation. In the words of the London Times, “Lindberg, a master of orchestral sound, has chosen virtually the same forces as Stravinsky in his Symphonies of Wind Instruments, and with its five connected movements Gran Duo is a symphony in the modern sense … a darkly brooding yet peaceful work that reflects something of a unique landscape.”
