這張莫札特小提琴奏鳴曲專輯是一份很特別的企劃,透過曲目的挑選,勾勒出莫札特與妻子Constanze.加上Ulf Schneider演奏非常濃烈深情,高度推薦的一張莫札特小提琴專輯!
''Helas, j'ai perdu mon amant'' is the title of the project that gave rise to the recordings on this album. What lies behind the title you have chosen?
Stephan Imorde: For quite some time we had already wanted to associate text and music on the concert podium in order to place music in a new context. Our idea was to view Mozart from the perspective of his wife Constanze: in our attempt to picture how she must have perceived Wolfgang's life, we embarked on an imaginary journey.
Ulf Schneider: Very few letters written by Constanze have been preserved. Nevertheless, from the great number of letters her husband sent her, we can surmise that the two were emotionally very close. On the basis of those letters, music journalist Jurgen Otten has drawn up a fictitious diary. In our project we hold a musical dialogue with acress Fritzi Haberlandt: between the pieces, she reads from the diary.
S. I.: And the title “Hélas, j’ai perdu mon amant” relates to the entire programme. Although taken from the Variations K360, it illustrates the biographical curve we want to trace. “Alas, I have lost my beloved” is a situation we refer to repeatedly in the programme: not only the loss of four out of six children, but also Mozart’s untimely death.
