Sonata op. 285 Sequentia Serpentigena 马克斯威尔．戴维斯 奏鸣曲 大提琴加钢琴 朔特版

这首奏鸣曲共有六个乐章，是彼得-马克斯韦尔-戴维斯与托斯卡纳中世纪早期乡村教堂pievi邂逅的直接成果。他写道：这首奏鸣曲的灵感尤其来自于这些教堂石雕中难以捉摸、神秘莫测的意象。蛇在犹太教和基督教传统中是诱惑、背叛和罪恶的象征。然而，在蛇形石雕中，我们可以发现更古老的含义，这些含义可以追溯到埃斯特鲁里亚时代，而且这些含义与通常的解读截然不同，现在已经开始被人们所理解，例如，这有助于我们理解为什么科西尼亚诺的圣维托石雕除了装饰元素外没有其他石雕，而且雕刻的是延伸的小蛇。 彼得-麦克斯韦尔-戴维斯）

原文简介:
The Sonata, in six movements, is the direct outcome of Peter Maxwell Davies’ encounter with the ‘pievi’ – early medieval rural churches – of Tuscany. He writes: ‘In particular, it was inspired by the elusive and enigmatic nature of the imagery of their stone carvings. I have concentrated on just one image, that of the snake, which in Jewish and Christian tradition is a symbol of temptation and betrayal, and of sinfulness in general. However, in the pievi, older significances, which can be traced back to Estruscan times, can be discerned, and these meanings, quite contrary to the usual readings, are now beginning to be fathomed, helping us to understand for instance why the piece of San Vito in Corsignano has no stone carving apart from decorative elements, and that of small, extended snakes.’ (Peter Maxwell Davies)
