Chopin Nocturnes Op. 27, No. 1 and No. 2

There are quite a few pieces of Chopin mentioned in cpv’s 傅聪谈肖邦. I have found most of them played by 傅聪. For additional pleasure, I am going to post some of them next to 傅聪’s commends. Hope you will enjoy them. And thanks to cpv for introducing the inerview to us.

Let's start with Nocturnes Op. 27, No. 1, in C-sharp minor and No. 2, in B-flat major.

"傅聪：所以我最恨的就是「肖邦式」（Chopinesque）的肖邦，那种轻飘飘、虚无缥缈的肖邦。当然肖邦有虚无缥缈的一面，但那只是一面，肖邦也有非常宏伟的一面，他的音乐世界是多么广大呀！即使是肖邦《夜曲》，每一曲都不一样，内容丰富无比。像是作品二十七的《两首夜曲》，第一首升c小调是非常深沉恐怖的作品，音乐彷佛从苍茫深海、漆黑暗夜里来；但第二首降D大调就是皎洁光亮的明月之夜。两首放在一起，意境完全不同。第二首因为好听，许多人拿来单独演奏，却弹得矫揉做作，莫名其妙地感伤──我最讨厌感伤的肖邦，完全不能忍受！肖邦一点都不感伤！他至少是像李后主那样，音乐是「以血泪书着」，绝对不小家子气！”
