Octet 八重奏

乔治-本雅明的八重奏于 1979 年 2 月首演，这是他结束与奥利维耶-梅西安的学习后仅几个月就开始创作的，也是他首次尝试将在巴黎学到的所有知识融合到器乐作品中。这首色彩丰富的 10 分钟作品（为长笛、单簧管、打击乐、钢片琴和四根弦乐配乐）总体上具有回旋曲式的特点，偶尔也有抒情或强烈动感的时刻"

原文简介:
Premiered in February 1979, George Benjamin’s Octet was begun only months after the conclusion of his studies with Olivier Messiaen and was his first attempt to integrate all that he had learnt in Paris on an instrumental canvas. The colourful 10-minute work (scored for flute, clarinet, percussion, celesta and four strings) has a general scherzando character, occasionally punctured by moments of lyricism or strident dynamism. ‘The sheer technical aplomb of the work continues to amaze. Benjamin wrote it when he was eighteen; the beautifully dappled structure and wonderfully imagined effects seem to evidence a far deeper maturity.’ Financial Times (Andrew Clements), 24 February 1987
