Symphony No. 10 op. 327 Alla ricerca di Borromini 馬克斯威爾．戴維斯 交響曲 總譜 朔特版

彼得-麥斯威爾-大衛斯在他八十高齡時，以音樂的形式回到了羅馬，1950 年代末他曾在那裡師從戈弗雷多-佩特拉西（Goffredo Petrassi）。這首交響曲充滿了黑暗的音色（讓人想起 1998 年的《羅馬，愛神》），經常使用驚人的直接和聲語言，配樂是萊奧帕爾迪的十四行詩《A se stesso》、博羅米尼的遺書以及一首抨擊博羅米尼作品'古怪'和'缺乏連貫性'的匿名十四行詩。大衛斯對創作的本質、藝術家與過去的關係以及最終與死亡的關係進行了深刻的思考。克裡斯-奧斯丁

原文簡介:
In his 80th year, Peter Maxwell Davies returns in music to Rome, where he studied with Goffredo Petrassi in the late 1950’s. Full of darkly glowing sonorities (recalling the earlier Roma, Amor of 1998) and often in a language of startling harmonic directness, the Symphony sets Leopardi’s sonnet A se stesso, Borromini’s last testament and an anonymous sonnet which attacks Borromini’s work for its ‘eccentricity’ and ‘lack of coherence’. Davies has composed a deeply moving meditation on the nature of creativity, the artist’s relationship with the past and, ultimately, mortality. Chris Austin
