Deep Time 伯惠斯特 总谱 博浩版

2017年，在丹尼尔-巴伦博伊姆的指挥下，这部作品在柏林和伦敦进行了首演。这部长达23分钟的乐谱是为了纪念彼得-马克斯韦尔-戴维斯（Peter Maxwell Davies），由柏林国家管弦乐团（Berlin Staatskapelle）和英国广播公司音乐舞会（BBC Proms）委托创作，在爱乐乐团（Philharmonie）和音乐厅（Konzerthaus）演出后，随乐团和指挥前往皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅（Royal Albert Hall）。深邃的时间》从隐喻而非字面意义上与时间和地震主题产生共鸣，作曲家将其与永恒的地质变化概念和蕴藏在地球深处的巨大时间跨度相提并论。他在苏格兰拉塞岛上居住时观察到，地层物质被地震活动炸开，因此在当前时间点上可以看到年代大相径庭的岩石，而拉塞岛就坐落在地质断层在线。新作品对时间的关注使其成为继《时间的胜利》和《大地之舞》之后，伯特威斯特管弦乐三部曲中的第三部。英国《卫报》将这部作品描述为 "一部震撼人心的作品，有时美得令人窒息......伯特威斯特尔使用的管弦乐队强调低音乐器--大号、低音和低音单簧管、低音管--的演奏，但音乐所描绘的景色却多姿多彩。其中有斯特拉文斯基式的脉动重复、层层迭迭的木管颤音、布列兹式的打击乐托卡塔以及由高音萨克斯领衔的长肢独奏，它们漂浮在透明的弦乐网之上......这是伯特威斯特尔最杰出的管弦乐成就之一

原文简介:
This work received its first performances under the baton of Daniel Barenboim in 2017 in Berlin and London. The 23-minute score, dedicated to the memory of Peter Maxwell Davies, was commissioned by the Berlin Staatskapelle and BBC Proms and, following performances at the Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus, travelled with orchestra and conductor to the Royal Albert Hall. Deep Time resonates with temporal and seismic themes in a metaphorical rather than a literal sense, the composer drawing parallels to the concept of perpetual geological change and the immense spans of deep time embedded in the earth. He refers to the idea of strata of material being blown apart by seismic activity so that rocks of vastly different ages can be viewed adjacent at the present point of time, as he observed when living on the Scottish island of Raasay which sits astride a geological fault line. The new work’s concern with time can see it placed as the third piece in a Birtwistle orchestral triptych following The Triumph of Time and Earth Dances. The Guardian describes the work as “an immensely powerful, sometimes breathtakingly beautiful work… Birtwistle may use an orchestra in which low-pitched instruments – tubas, bass and contrabass clarinets, contrabassoons – are emphasised, but the landscapes that the music traverses are wonderfully varied and coloured. There are pulsing Stravinskyan repetitions, cascades of chattering woodwind, Boulez-like toccatas of tuned percussion and long-limbed solos, led off of by soprano saxophone, which float over transparent webs of strings…one of Birtwistle’s finest orchestral achievements.
