Catch 艾得斯

湯瑪斯-阿德斯 1991 年創作的這首令人眼花繚亂的《捕捉》與梅西安的《四重奏》採用了相同的配器，將戲劇元素寫進了自己的基因：一位鋼琴家、一位大提琴家和一位小提琴家坐在舞臺上，抵擋著一位流浪單簧管演奏家加入他們的企圖......所有的努力都被擊退，直到作品充滿哀思而又令人費解的結尾。這部九分鐘的作品節奏感十足，生動展現了年輕的阿德斯非凡的創造力和音樂戲劇感"

原文簡介:
Scored for the same instrumentation as Messiaen’s Quatuor Pour la Fin du Temps, Thomas Adès’ dazzlingly precocious Catch from 1991 has a theatrical element written into its very DNA: a pianist, a cellist and a violinist, seated on stage, fend off the attempts of a wandering clarinettist to join them… All the efforts are repelled, until the work’s wistful yet quizzical ending. Bursting with rhythmic energy, this vivid nine-minute work showcases a young Adès’ remarkable ingenuity and sense of musical drama. ‘His music is arrestingly original… … He has an engaging voice and audacious imagination.’ The New York Times (Anthony Tommasini), 27 February 1999
