专辑简介： Xasax萨克斯四重奏团的首张专辑将带领听众穿越莱奥什·雅纳切克(Leoš Janáček)丰富多元的音乐世界。萨克斯温暖的音色捕捉了雅纳切克作品中的广阔幅度：从摩拉维亚男声合唱与民歌的质朴旋律（雅纳切克曾为该体裁创作过重要作品），到钢琴曲集《在杂草丛生的小径上》及遗作《挚爱的素描》中的细腻笔触，直至《格拉高利弥撒》中气势恢宏的管风琴尾声。雅纳切克并未为萨克斯创作，这张专辑的改编却让他的音乐在萨克斯的诠释下显得自然贴切，仿佛本就为此而生。 乐团简介： Xasax萨克斯四重奏团于1991年在巴黎成立，其创立源于几位成员在维也纳和鹿特丹的相遇。乐团致力于拓展传统萨克斯四重奏的曲目边界，一方面积极推广泽纳基斯、多纳托尼、凯奇等当代作曲家的作品，并委约大量新作；另一方面也探索爵士、即兴音乐以及对巴赫《赋格的艺术》、文艺复兴复调乃至14世纪“精微艺术”的重新演绎。他们曾在维也纳音乐厅、科隆西德广播电台、巴黎秋季音乐节、爱丁堡音乐节、达姆施塔特国际新音乐暑期班、柏林世界文化之家等众多国际舞台亮相。
