【專輯介紹】:
当二胡遇上爵士音乐,跨越界限、打破传统。霍世洁首张专辑《爵士胡情》带您游走二弦之间品尝不一样的崭新音乐领域。
霍世洁是出生于台湾的胡琴知名演奏家,曾获得全台湾省胡琴比赛冠军,北京“第一届艺术杯中国乐器国际邀请赛”二胡专业组特别表演奖,及1988年“上海十大新闻人物”。曾任职香港中乐团首席乐师,现任教于香港演艺学院及香港音专,亦为中国民族管絃樂协会全国民族乐器演奏艺术水平考官及中国音乐家协会二胡学会会员。霍氏演奏足迹遍及世界各地,演出实况经常获各地电视台及电台转播。除与各地国家级乐团合作外,亦跨界至电子二胡及流行音乐类别。曾参与多位天王、天后的大型演唱会演出,包括辉黄2000演唱会、金曲娱乐真经典演唱会等;亦为不同著名歌手的大碟作音乐录音工作,如林子祥、叶蒨文、林忆莲、李克勤、刘德华、卢冠廷、吕方等。此外,亦经常参与电影、电视之音乐制作,最近期有《宫心计》、《巾帼枭雄》、《少林寺》等。 2005年参与环球唱片制作现场录制《李克勤演奏厅》而大获好评。
专辑中每首歌,都兼融了无数的尝试与创造。霍老师坚持以旋律抢耳、简单为重心,更想尽办法打破胡琴五度音阶的拉奏常规。好像《酷》这首歌,她便用了“双音”及较大幅度的滑音来丰富此曲的表现力。而《竞》这首歌在拉奏的初期,苦瓜老师本已交出优质歌谱,但追求完美的霍老师灵机一动,特地为歌曲加入三轨马嘶及马鸣等二胡技巧,使Jazz与国乐互相交缠出新火花。值得一提是《忆》及《纷》两首作品的二胡前奏,也是霍老师的神来之笔,其缪思令人击节赞赏。另外,两位老师又将华语经典旋律来个翻天覆地的变奏,如《情人的眼泪》、《明月千里寄相思》等,将为人熟知的乐曲转化成Funky、Waltz的音乐,别出心裁。特别一提是《怨》这首曲,老师受Laura Fygi 的《Dream A Little Dream》启发,想把那份慵懒、忧忧的气息加进歌曲中,遂与苦瓜老师研究如何合并于《断肠红》上。在二人的努力下,本来风马牛不相及的曲风(而且不是Jazz类别),终得出以Blues拉奏此曲的想法。其后经过霍老师不停的研究,既将音调降低以突出哀怨感,又灵机一触,再编奏第二部的二胡,将主、副二部胡乐交叠在一起形成对话式的倾诉,使整件事变得灵通、慵懒又忧怨。那份编奏的才华及演绎的技巧,叫人佩服不已。
Jazz is well known for its various styles and improvisation with different music and musical instruments. Have you ever imagined that erhu can play jazz with improvisation? The CD, When Jazz Meets Erhu, gives you a definite answer: it can make it!
The CD, When Jazz Meets Erhu, contained 10 jazz music pieces which were arranged by Xu Zhi-min(許治民) (苦瓜老師Master Bitter-Gourd) who specialized in jazz music in Taiwan. He had arranged music with various artists like Tsai-qin(蔡琴) and Luo Zhi-xiang(羅志祥). This time Mr. Xu had arranged some well-known Chinese music like “I have got a romance” (我有一段情), “miss you under moonlight” (明月千里寄相思), “Minjiang Night song” (岷江夜曲), “A heartbroken girl” (斷腸紅), “Lover’s Tears” (情人的眼淚) and “Evening bell at Nanping Hill” (南屏晚鐘) into Jazz music. The erhu played as a singer in the music and it was played by Jessie Hou Shih-chieh(霍世潔), an erhu maestro who had cooperated with various artists in Chinese pop music. Of course, there was a jazz band playing the music with her.
The 10 jazz music pieces adopted various jazz styles. For example, the music “Relax” used Bossa Nova which was originated from Brazil. Moreover, the music “Romance” used Swing with a combination of the music styles in the East and the West. Besides that, a lot of erhu techniques were used in the music. For instance, Jessie used tremolo with trio to imitate the horse neighing and whining in the music “Compete”. What’s more, the music “Cool” used 2 pitches in one note which was not commonly used in erhu music. All in all, the elements used the music pieces were so innovative that they have not been used before in jazz music.
