Symphony No. 8 The Journey 勞塔瓦拉 交響曲 總譜 芬尼卡·蓋爾曼版

米蘭-昆德拉認為，交響樂是一次穿越世界的旅行，穿越千變萬化的風景。勞塔瓦拉認為，交響樂也可以是人類的生命之旅。第 8 號交響曲的標題 "旅程 "也是有具體原因的；在勞塔瓦拉的歌劇《湯瑪斯》中，第三樂章慢板中的一個主題唱道："旅程在繼續......這是誰的旅程？- 是誰的旅程？......超越時間？.... 交響曲（1999 年）分為四個樂章。第一樂章平和，以長音進行。該交響曲受費城交響樂團委託創作，因此勞塔瓦拉得以將第二樂章譜寫成極為精湛、技術要求極高的迴旋曲。第三樂章是一段緩慢而富有詩意的插曲，以 "標誌性 "動機開始和結束。終曲是一條寬闊的小溪。艾諾朱哈尼-勞塔瓦拉的大型作品幾乎總是以沉默結束。據作曲家說，第 8 交響曲還是希望以 "強音"（fortissimo）--"宏大"（con grandezza）結束

原文簡介:
According to Milan Kundera, symphonic music is a journey through the world, through ever-changing landscapes. It can, according to Rautavaara, also be a journey through human life. The title of the 8th symphony, The Journey, also had a concrete reason; one of the motifs in the third, slow movement is sung in Rautavaara's opera Thomas to the words This journey goes on... whose is it? – Of one who wanders from the end of the journey? ...beyond time?.... The symphony (1999) is in four movements. The first is peaceful, proceeding in long sweeps. The symphony having been commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Rautavaara was able to make the second movement an extremely virtuosic, technically demanding scherzo. The third movement is a slow, poetic episode beginning and ending with the 'signature' motif. The finale is a broad stream. Einojuhani Rautavaara's large-scale works have almost always ended in silence. According to the composer, the 8th symphony nevertheless wanted to end fortissimo – con grandezza.
