    Jascha Horenstein & London Siymphony Orchestra's (LSO) masterpiece Mahler's "Titan" reissued on Vinyl LP!

    Silkroad Music, which has released many licensed recordings of great performances and excellent recordings, is proud to present this LP of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 "Titan" by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jascha Horenstein, a highly acclaimed masterpiece on the UNICORN label. The original LP is notoriously hard to find, so this new release is much anticipated by fans. Along with Bruno Walter and Otto Klemperer, Horenstein was highly regarded as a Mahler and Bruckner conductor. His conducting style was also influenced by Wilhelm Furtwängler, as he was Furtwängler's assistant. This performance has a deep and unique tone. Animal cries, hunting horns, village dances, funeral marches, heroic and joyous fights, lyrical reminiscences, etc., are all beautifully expressed in the sound world of this work. 180g Vinyl pressed by Pallas Group, Germany

    1. 奧地利音樂家馬勒(Gustav Mahler)集指揮家與作曲家於一身,憑著天賦的音樂才華加上其曲折也帶點苦澀的人生,全面顯現在他的作品之中,而交響曲最能反影他的傳奇一生,也是最為人所愛戴。他一生不斷致力在交響樂的各種創作領域與作曲手法鑽研和改進,將音樂推展至極致。他所譜寫的七首交響曲融合了浪漫懷舊和現代主義風格,而「第一號交響曲"巨人"」(Symphony No.1 in D Major "Titan")則以前者為骨幹,圍繞約有100個樂器的大型樂團為主題,效果堂皇宏偉。

    2. 第一號交響曲是馬勒年青時前後花了五年才完成寫作,圍繞約有一百個樂器的大型樂團為主題,效果堂皇宏偉,但亦是他所有交響曲中曲式最簡單,旋律也是最直接優美的作品。此曲常被賦予標題『巨人』,這標題係取自馬勒所喜愛作家尚.保羅(Jean Paul)的同名小說『巨人(Titan)』心有所感而啟發的創作,但是小說內容跟樂曲並無關連。巨人其實就是馬勒的化身,他在曲中敘述青春的歡樂、熱情、苦惱與憂傷,將自我體驗幻化成具有強力重要性,經歷動盪,最後則以勝利來結束。此曲最初完成的版本共有五個樂章,第一和第二樂章之間還有一個稱為「百花(Blumine)」的樂章,樂曲在初演後不久,馬勒毅然捨棄了這個樂章,使樂曲整體更為緊湊和具氣勢,而樂曲一直維持四個樂章至今。

    3. 一直被公認為馬勒(Gustav Mahler)與布魯克納(Anton Bruckner)作品的演繹權威,與布魯諾‧華爾特(Bruno Walter)和奧托‧克勒姆佩雷爾(Otto Klemperer)並駕齊驅的雅沙‧霍倫斯坦(Jascha Horenstein)曾是另一指揮大師威廉‧富特文格勒(Wilhelm Furtwängler)的助理,其指揮風格也頗受富特文格勒的影響,特點是對長篇音樂作品的非凡駕馭能力,聲音層次分明、和諧,各聲部平衡適中,樂團成為主聲部和次聲部的綜合體。霍倫斯坦這種超卓的指揮才能,在他與倫敦交響樂團演繹馬勒的交響曲作品可見真章。

    4. 霍倫斯坦於1969年帶領倫敦交響樂團演繹馬勒的『D大調第一交響曲"巨人"(Mahler : Symphony No.1 in D Major "Titan)』,其壯麗式的演奏經由各種樂器獨有音色、層次和深度盡展作曲家的交響樂作品的特殊聲音和對比。恰當的戲劇性效果,如音畫般地將動物的叫鳴,狩獵時吹起的號角,鄕村的舞蹈,葬禮進行時感情的表白,英勇歡騰的奮鬥前進,喜悅抒情的回憶,霍倫斯坦和樂團的演出將樂曲的寓意與特色表露無遺,更贏得當時一眾樂迷和專業樂評人一致讚賞,更被推許為此交響曲示範演繹版本之一。
