蔡佳璇 / 古今狂想-大鍵琴音樂詩畫 (2CD)

繼2010年《酷幻奇境》專輯 (金曲獎最佳專輯入圍) 後，大鍵琴家蔡佳璇又一力作，這次要帶領聽眾穿越古今，徜徉於音樂的時空洪流中。
蔡佳璇是國內少有同時擁有長笛和大鍵琴演奏文憑的音樂家，曾就讀德國柏林藝術大學以及萊比錫音樂暨戲劇學院，並曾獲得多項國際獎項，如1998年庫勞長笛大賽重奏組首獎、2001年德國長笛協會主辦的國際作曲暨詮釋比賽第三名；大鍵琴方面，2003年先後贏得慕尼黑音樂大賽(16.Grand Prize Competition of the Konzertgesellschaft München)第一名暨觀眾特別獎，及柏林樂器博物館古樂比賽特別獎等。

大鍵琴具有獨特音色，是以撥弦方式發聲的鍵盤樂器，數百年間都是作曲家以及演奏家喜愛挑戰和運用的樂器。這張專輯以18世紀德國作曲家約翰‧庫瑙劃時代的標題音樂作品－《聖經劇場故事》為主軸，交替穿插6首20、21世紀大鍵琴作品，即便風格迥異，但感動相同，充分彰顯了音樂的普世價值。
專輯由數度金曲獎得主錄音大師楊敏奇操刀，完美演繹了大鍵琴復古但迷人的音色，搭配蔡佳璇精彩的演奏和詮釋，絕對是樂迷聽友們不可錯過的難得錄音。
