山下和仁(Kazuhito Yamashita 1961-)
日本最杰出的古典吉他演奏家。曾获“第十九届巴黎国际吉他比赛”金奖。代表作：改编曲《图画展览会》等。现在北京地铁里有他的CD(10元)卖。如果你听腻了索尔、阿瓜多、塔雷加，来看看山下和仁为古典吉他做了些什么吧。这位被吉他皇帝塞戈维亚称为“天才少年”的日本吉他演奏家在他的艺术生涯中，不断创造着超越极限的奇迹。这张唱片中所收录的就是山下和仁的两次勇敢而成功的尝试。《展览会上的图画》是俄罗斯作曲家穆索尔斯基的代表作，原为钢琴组曲，亦经常被人改编为管弦乐曲演奏；《火鸟》则是美籍俄国作曲家斯特拉文斯基的著名芭蕾舞剧，内容取材于俄罗斯的民间故事。把这些大型作品改编为古典吉他独奏曲目曾被认为是不可能完成的任务，而山下和仁的表现充分证明了这并非哗众取宠之举，这个版本的《展览会上的图画》甚至还获得了著名的德国留声机奖。
KAZUHITO YAMASHITA (GUITARIST)
Born in Nagasaki in 1961, Kazuhito Yamashita has been acknowledged as the world's most virtuoso guitarist by critics and public alike, who are fascinated with his dazzling technique and expressive talent. His almost 70 recordings and numerous original arrangements of such works as Mussorgski's Pictures at an Exhibition, Stravinsky's Firebird, Rimski-Korsakov's Scherezade and Dvorak's Symphony of the New World have become a legend within guitar circles.
In 1978 Yamashita made his debut in Japan and one year later he made his European debut in Paris, where he was acknowledged as the greatest revelation of the guitar. Still in his twenties, he made his first appearances in Canada (Toronto Guitar Festival), America and England. He gave a solo recital in the Musikverein (Grand hall) in Vienna. In 1987, James Galway invited Yamashita for a duo tour in the United States, including performances in New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh. As a result of this tremendously successful tour, he made a solo tour through Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington, Saint Louis, Toronto and Vancouver, where his recitals were always a sold-out. In 1989 the Casals Theatre in Tokyo, the most prestigious Japanese theatre, presented a series called The World of Kazuhito Yamashita, made up of seven concerts in 12 months. The peak of the series was Castelnuovo-Tedesco' 24 Caprichos de Goya in one performance. It concluded with Bach's six sonatas and partitas in two consecutive nights. He also had his recital series in 1994 and 1999.
In addition to his solo performances, he also plays in duo, as well as with chamber music ensembles, orchestras and internationally acclaimed artists, such as Leonard Slatkin of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Orquesta de la RTVE, James Galway (flute), Michala Petri (recorder), The Tokyo String Quartet and Gary Karr (double bass). In the 4th Santo Tirso International Guitar Festival, held in 1997, he played 4 concertos in one night with the Cordoba orchestra, conducted by Leo Brouwer. He has recently been invited by Claudio Scimone to play with I Solisti Veneti in Italy.
Kazuhito Yamashita has recorded for BMG (RCA), Crown Classics, Japan Victor, King Records and Alfa Records. His recordings include 16 CDs with the complete works of Fernando Sor (Japan Victor), and a collection of 5 CDs containing J. S. Bach's sonatas and partitas for violin, cello, lute and flute, which he himself transcribed for the guitar (Crown Classics). The recording of Mussorgski's Pictures at an Exhibition, released in 1981, was awarded the prestigious Deutsches Grammophon Award. In 1990, he recorded his own transcription of Bach's six suitesfor violoncello.
He started to study the guitar at the age of eight with his father, Toru Yamashita. In 1972, aged eleven, he won the Kyushu Guitar Competition. Four years later, he was awarded the first prize in the All Japan Guitar Competition. In1977 he won three important international competitions - the Ramirez in Spain, the Alessandria in Italy and Paris Radio France Competition, being the youngest winner ever recorded. |
