Horn Concerto 法国号协奏曲

这部 13 分钟的作品被作曲家形容为'与其说是协奏曲，不如说是音乐会咏叹调'，是为传奇人物巴里-塔克韦尔而作。这部作品对圆号的多种特性进行了丰富的探索，既有马勒式的 "夜曲"，也有莫扎特式的清亮时刻，被英国《卫报》誉为'清晰的杰作'，自 1994 年首演以来已演出 80 多场"

原文简介:
Described by its composer as ‘more concert aria than concerto’, this 13-minute work was written for the legendary Barry Tuckwell. A rich exploration of the horn’s many characters, from Mahlerian Nachtmusik to moments of clear, Mozartian brilliance, it was heralded as a ‘masterpiece of lucidity’ by the Guardian and has received over 80 performances since its premiere in 1994. ‘The Knussen is a masterpiece….a magical transfigured night, moonlight glistening on snow – the Concerto is full of the most marvellous sonorities, some clear, some only half-glimpsed…the horn part is so varied in range, timbre and dynamic that it scarcely seems to be emerging from a single instrument…’ Boston Globe (Richard Dyer), 25 November 1995
