专辑介绍:

他是22岁即夺利兹桂冠的葡萄牙神童

1968年出生于葡萄牙的阿图·皮萨罗，两岁时被祖母无意中发现他在钢琴方面特别有天赋。于是，祖母就开始对阿图进行比较有针对性的启蒙教育，每周都带他去听钢琴演奏会。著名钢琴家Berta da Nóbrega在发现阿图对音乐的惊人天赋后，立即将其收归门下，进行悉心指导。

4岁时，阿图·皮萨罗就已在里斯本电视台演出，这次的演出在葡萄牙引起了巨大的轰动，人们都在赞叹这位神奇的小神童。13岁时，阿图在里斯本圣保罗路易斯剧院举行了个人独奏音乐会，并开始与古尔本基安交响乐团合作演奏钢琴协奏曲，他出色的钢琴演奏技巧使他获得了在德国和法国的音乐学院深造的好机会。

　　天赋加努力，阿图的演奏技巧飞一般的长进，国际钢琴大师凯拉·科斯塔被他的精神所感动，无条件收其为徒，并将他安排到美国堪萨斯大学跟随自己学习。

1987年，阿图·皮萨罗在里斯本摩塔钢琴大赛中获得自己人生中的第一个大奖。1990年，阿图·皮萨罗参加被认为国际四大钢琴比赛中最高难度的英国利兹国际钢琴比赛，并一举夺得冠军。迄今为止，尚未有中国人能问鼎该赛事冠军。

　　他是诠释贝多芬作品最透彻的钢琴家

　　十多年来，阿图·皮萨罗一直以杰出的艺术表现力闻名世界，他曾与众多全世界最具有影响力的指挥大师和交响乐团合作，并在全世界巡回演出。

　　不过，阿图·皮萨罗最擅长的还是贝多芬作品，并且是全球为数不多可完整演奏贝多芬曲目的钢琴家之一。2003年到2004年间，他在英国伦敦的圣约翰史密夫广场剧院举办了完整的贝多芬奏鸣曲巡演，且8场音乐会全部在BBC中播出，盛况空前；2004年2月，他的贝多芬奏鸣曲巡演又获得英国皇家爱乐协会奖，被媒体誉为诠释贝多芬作品最为透彻的钢琴大师，从而赢得了“贝多芬之王”的美誉。

review
[-] by Blair Sanderson

Released in 2010 in connection with a series of nine recitals of Frédéric Chopin's keyboard music, Reminiscences is Artur Pizarro's elegant tribute for the composer's 200th anniversary year. While he programmed all of Chopin's solo piano music for his concert appearances in London, for this recording Pizarro has turned to pieces he learned in his youth, whether absorbed from Artur Rubinstein's and Heinrich Neuhaus' LPs or picked up from his grandmother, Berta da Nóbrega; her duo partner, Evaristo Campos Coelho; and his own piano teacher, Sequeira Costa. Early contact with great recordings and these musicians informed Pizarro's own style of playing Chopin, and he asserts that their teaching at one point or another influenced his interpretations of the works selected for this album. Included are such perennial favorites as the Grand Valse Brillante in E flat major; the Fantaisie-Impromptu in C sharp minor; the Polonaise in A flat major, "Héroique"; the Nocturne in E flat major; and the Scherzo in B flat minor, as well as other waltzes, nocturnes, and mazurkas to which Pizarro formed early attachments. On the whole, his renditions are passionate and often quite lyrical, though his use of rubato at times seems mannered and not always necessary. Yet if one assumes that some exaggerated effects are called for, considering the performance styles he draws on, then one could make the case that this is Chopin as Pizarro remembers hearing long ago, perhaps a different proposition than what some listeners might expect to hear from a modern performer. This hybrid SACD from Linn Records offers warm and credible reproduction and the frequency range is quite wide, so Pizarro's pianissimos are captured as distinctly as his fortissimos, and the piano's tone is rich and full.
