Concert Suite from Sophie's Choice 莫,尼可拉斯 音乐会 组曲

这首 22 分钟的组曲主要由尼古拉斯-莫的歌剧《苏菲的抉择》中的管弦乐插曲组成，其音乐元素并不总是按照歌剧中出现的顺序排列，而是在更短的时间内以令人满意的形式排列。与阿尔班-伯格的《露露组曲》一样，莫氏的组曲也包含一个女高音声乐乐章（可选）--在这里是苏菲的最后咏叹调，她在写给爱人的信中，表达了对自己在奥斯威辛集中营的过去的可怕绝望"

原文简介:
Mostly formed out of the orchestral interludes from Nicholas Maw’s opera Sophie’s Choice, this 22-minute suite’s musical elements are not always in the same order as they appear in the opera – but rather are arranged in a way which gives a satisfactory form over this much shorter time span. Like Alban Berg’s Lulu Suite, Maw’s contains one (optional) vocal movement for soprano – here Sophie’s final aria where, writing in a letter to her lover, she communicates her terrible despair about her past in Auschwitz. ‘An instant classic, a piece that will immediately touch and move people’. Sir Simon Rattle on Sophie’s Choice
