二十世紀前葉的法國長笛名曲
Ravel: … Du Silence Au Silence / Helena Macherel & Veronica Kuijken

這張專輯收錄四首二十世紀前葉的長笛曲,由長笛家Helena Macherel與鋼琴家Veronica Kuijken合作演出.兩人的配合默契十足,非常值得一聽.鋼琴家Veronica Kuijken在解說冊中寫道:
There was more than one surprise in store for me as I took a closer look at the chronology of the works Héléna and I have recorded here. For instance, the timeline I had spontaneously imagined for the years in which the works were written turned out not to correspond to the actual chronology at all, and the ages of the composers at the time they wrote them do not coincide with the youth or maturity they communicate. But these surprises actually make me rather happy, since they so beautifully illustrate the uniqueness of every person, quite apart from textbook music history!
 
Despite the ‘frozen’ aspect of a recording, we do very much hope that we have succeeded in bringing out the living, breathing quality of the music here. Compositions, we think, are a bit like children: having complete ‘power’ over them is impossible, since they have their own lives. Even composers can only send a work out into the world for it to live on independently – since every time we listen, we hear a different version, don’t we?
