乔治•本杰明对位陈其钢

活动简介

“乔治•本杰明晋身为当代最令人钦佩的作曲家之一,理所当然。”

---《纽约时报》

北京国际音乐节自创办之日起,素来不遗余力地支持当代音乐发展,每逢金秋十月奉上当代作品音乐会以让观众紧随世界音乐发展潮流。被誉为世界上演绎当代音乐最佳乐团之一的伦敦小交响乐团在其三十多年的发展历程中一如既往地致力于委约当代杰出作曲家们的新意之作。英国作曲家乔治•本杰明系当代音乐代表人物,任哈雷管弦乐团首席客座艺术家与伦敦大学国王学院作曲教授的他在作曲领域享有与潘德列茨基不相伯仲的音乐成就。此番本杰明指挥伦敦小交响乐团实属新音乐的权威合作。

音乐会曲目安排尽显中西文化合璧之意,作曲家陈其钢以中国西北音乐元素创作的《道情Ⅱ》将融入到英国当代作品中。哈里森•伯特威斯尔和奥利弗•克努森皆为当代英国独具个性的作曲家,《卡门的机械花园》、《无声的歌》分别是他们的代表作。曾荣登英国皇家歌剧院舞台的《走进小山》本为乔治•本杰明的歌剧杰作,此次亦将以音乐会版与观众见面。现代之音奏响前,同为音乐大师梅西安弟子的本杰明与陈其钢将对话新音乐观念的本质,引领观众走入新音乐之地。

About George Benjamin

Born in 1960, George Benjamin is one of the most outstanding composers of his generation. He started to play the piano at the age of seven, and began composing almost immediately. In 1976, he entered the Paris Conservatoire to study with Olivier Messiaen (composition) and Yvonne Loriod (piano), after which he concluded his studies at King's College Cambridge under Alexander Goehr.

As a conductor, he regularly appears with some of the world's leading ensembles and orchestras, among them the London Sinfonietta, Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra and Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic.

Since 2001, he has been the Henry Purcell Professor of Composition at King’s College, London. His works are published by Faber Music and are recorded on Nimbus Records.
