傅聪的钢琴艺术

“我已不再是《傅雷家书》中的小孩子喽，老夫今年六十八，望七了！”这是傅聪两年前发出的感慨。我们还在捧读《傅雷家书》《傅雷家书》中的傅聪却渐行渐远，已自成一“家”。只是从未忘记父亲早年的教诲：先做人，其次做艺术家，再次做音乐家，最后做钢琴家；在用钢琴语言聆悟音乐中寻求人的基本价值……本书收入傅聪先生近年的对话和讲课，记录了他“师父领进门，修行靠个人”的艺术之路，让我们看到走出《傅雷家书》得以彰显的另一代人。 该CD是随书所附《傅聪的钢琴艺术》CD，十三首经典曲目为傅聪先生亲自选定。 Fou Tsong - born in Shanghai in 1934, Fou Tsong grew up in an intellectual atmosphere rooted in the cultural tradition of old China. In 1951 he made his debut in his home city with Beethovens Fifth Concerto. Two years later he was awarded Third Prize in the Bucharest Piano Competition, and in 1955 Third Prize and the Polish Radio Prize for the best performance of mazurkas in the Fifth International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. At the same time he also received a grant from the State College of Music in Warsaw, where he graduated from the piano class of Prof. Zbigniew Drzewiecki with the highest distinction. Although residing for only four years in Poland, he gave over two hundred concerts and recitals across Eastern Europe during this time. In December 1958 he settled permanently in London, whence he would set off on long artistic tours lasting several months. He soon became one of the most popular pianists in the UK, and the most active musician in the international arena. Each year he travelled the length and breadth of Europe, Scandinavia, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, both Americas and Japan. Dubbed by Time magazine The greatest Chinese musician alive today, he is particularly highly esteemed for his interpretations of works by Mozart, Chopin and Debussy. His range of interests also encompasses Handel, Scarlatti and Beethoven. Fou Tsong is blessed not only with a versatile musical talent, but also with a special charisma, the gift of bringing people together. The sixty-year-old pianist has said of himself: I am a beginner. Thanks to God I am now beginning to truly understand music. By the way, did you know that Tsong means a good ear. And that is just what the Chinese character consists of: hearing, an eye that is open to the world, and heart. In 1994 a fascination with the artistry of Fou Tsong led to the private issue by Martha Argerich, Leon Fleisher and Radu Lupu of the CD The Pianistic Art of Fou Tsong. The message attached to this disc includes the following words: Fou Tsong is our dear friend. For us insiders, he is one of the greatest pianists of our times. His outstanding interpretations should become signposts for musicians of the young generation. On winning the 1965 Chopin Competition, together with the Prize for mazurkas, Argerich was asked where she learned to play these difficult and highly specific works so splendidly. She replied: from the recordings made by the Chinese pianist Fou Tsong!. Tracklist: Chopin 1. Polonaise-Fantasie in A-flat, op. 61 2.
