"曲目 海頓:彌撒曲集&聖母悼歌 8CD Haydn: The Complete Masses, Stabat Mater 演出者 賈第納、蓋斯特、普列斯頓,指揮 John Eliot Gardiner / George Guest / Simon Preston 本集精介 海頓的作品一向以充滿喜悅和驚奇的旋律為特色,專輯收錄的《彌撒曲》也隨處可見這種特質。儘管他同類型作品創作的數量眾多(如共創作104首交響曲、68首弦樂四重奏),但每每能將創作手法加以變化翻新,永遠給人鮮活的感受。 根據資料記載,海頓作品的赫布肯編號(Hoboken Number,以Hob.XXII作為海頓「彌撒曲」的編號),彌撒曲共有十四首,其創作可分為兩個時期,以約瑟夫二世的教堂音樂改革所造成的十四年空窗期為分界,前期共有八首,後期則有六首。前期的創作時間自1749-1782年間,橫跨30多年,風格為傳統路線。後期的創作時間集中在1796-1802年,採大型編制,包含四位獨唱歌唱家與四部合唱,再加上管弦樂團搭配演出。然而其中Hob.XXII: 2已經遺失,而《歸於天主》(Rorate coeli desuper, Hob. XXII: 3)則被懷疑並非海頓的作品。 本套專輯收錄現存的海頓十三首彌撒曲,包括短小的彌撒曲《歸於天主》(Rorate coeli desuper)是專為合唱團而寫,有別於為獨唱者與合唱團而寫的作品。創作於1782年的《瑪麗亞彌撒》(Mariazellermesse),與著名的《尼爾森彌撒》(Nelson Mass),《聖哉彌撒》(Missa Sancti Bernardi von Offida (Heiligmesse))與《創世紀彌撒》(Schopfungsmesse)。另外還收錄《頌主曲》(Te Deum, Hob. XXIIIc:2)及《聖母悼歌》(Stabat Mater Dolorosa),以及附有管風琴伴奏的簡短合唱曲《無意義與徒勞的關懷》(Insanae et vanae curae)。 專輯由蓋斯特、威爾寇克與普列斯頓指揮英國牛津天主教會合唱團、劍橋國王學院合唱團、蒙台威爾第合唱團等世界頂尖合唱團體擔綱演出;還有伴奏的倫敦交響樂團、聖馬丁學會樂團及古樂學會樂團等亦是各踞一方的音樂重鎮。在這群音樂家的揮灑之下,海頓的彌撒曲更顯古意盎然,莊嚴肅穆直指人心。
