Music for Everybody
I think the album, The Piano Player, is quite interesting. It’s quite 1)dynamic1, we have the pure classical pieces, we have pop classical pieces, we have easy listening music of pieces of 2)Tonci Huljic and as well we have film music, so it like music for everybody, something for everybody.
We are here now on 3)Havana on Cuba and we are shooting the video for my new single, “The Flight of the 4)Bumble-Bee.” Because it’s something very different, because we have a boxer2, we have a 5)ballet dancer then it’s... and we were shooting in one very special room, you know, it’s like all really all room with all mirrors. I think it will be very interesting.
I’ve started to play piano when I was nine. My first piano was brown and over a hundred years old.
When the war began I was like fifteen and there was some quite difficult times because it was quite a hard bombing in my city. And we didn’t have a school practically3 for two years. So we were just practising in the basement of the music school and I remember the dust falling from the ceiling while we were practising.
The “6)Rhapsody of Paganini Theme”, it’s one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for classical piano. That’s the piece which I wanted to have on my 7)repertoire4. It was experience for me to do a Rachmaninoff because it was the first time I had to learn this piece in, like ten days and it’s a really difficult piece. I had to learn it, go to London, record it in the studio and I never saw the scores before, you know. So it was like a big challenge for me.
It’s very modern, it’s very experimental5, there are so many interesting sounds, you know mixed with this beautiful piece, it’s really special for me. Many variations6. But the slow one, I think it’s 21st, it’s wonderful piece of music.
The track “8)Exodus7” is originally from the movie Exodus, which is really old movie. It’s quite interesting music and it was produced and it was arranged for two pianos, so four hands. Four-hand piece and I recorded two pianos and then we put it in one, so it sounds like really big sound of the piano. I can actually perform this track live because also made an arrangement for one piano so they put these two arrangements in one. It’s much more difficult than separate pianos but it’s OK.
When I perform live for me it’s much better because there is this special feeling, special connection with the audience.
There is was one track on this album which is “Croatian Rhapsody” and it was originally written for me by a Croatian composer Tonci Huljic. It’s wonderful piece because it has a real characteristics of Croatian music. You can hear it with Croatian harmonies and Croatian dance. So I like this track especially.
我狂故我在
我觉得《钢琴玩家》这张专辑很有趣。它很有动感,有纯粹的古典乐,也有流行古典乐,有彤奇·胡里奇所作的轻音乐,也有电影音乐。所以,整张专辑的音乐像是为所有人创作的。
我们现在在古巴的哈瓦那为我的新单曲《大黄蜂的飞行》拍摄音乐电视。这是一种完全不一样的工作,我们找到一个拳师,一个芭蕾舞演员,还有……我们在一个非常特别的房间里拍摄,你知道,整个房间到处都是镜子,我想这是很有意思的。
我从九岁起就开始弹钢琴了。我的第一架钢琴是棕色的,有一百多年的历史。
战争开始时我十五岁,我所在的城市遭受一次大轰炸,境况十分艰难。实际上我们有两年没有上学。于是我们在音乐学院的地下室练习。我还记得在练琴的时候,尘土从天花板上掉下来。
《帕格尼尼主题狂想曲》,这是古典钢琴曲里写得最优美的一个乐章,也是我想要收录的曲目。它使我非常有满足感,因为这是第一首我在十天内就必须学会的曲目,虽然它难度很大,但我必须学会它,然后到伦敦的录音棚里录音,而此前我根本没见过乐谱。所以对我来说,它真是一项巨大的挑战。
它非常现代,非常前卫,许多有趣的音乐融合在这优美的乐章里,对我来说是那么独特。它有许多变调,但节奏慢的这一部分,我想,是二十一世纪,是极妙的乐章。
《出埃及记》是电影--一部很老的电影--《出埃及记》的主题曲。音乐很有意思,是用两架钢琴、四只手演奏出来的。我们将两架钢琴、四只手演奏出来的音乐录下来,融合在一起,这样听起来就像一架钢琴发出的洪亮的声音。我可以现场演奏这首曲子,因为只要安排一架钢琴,把两部分曲子合而为一来演奏就可以了。这比用两架钢琴分别演奏弹要难多了,但效果还不错。
当我现场演奏的时候,对我来说,会好多了,因为我会产生一种特别的感觉,与观众产生共鸣。
专辑有一首曲子叫《克罗地亚狂想曲》,是克罗地亚作曲家彤奇·胡里奇写给我的。这首曲子很精彩,因为它真正含有克罗地亚音乐的特点。你可以边听边欣赏克罗地亚舞蹈,边品位克罗地亚式的和声。所以,我特别喜欢这支曲子。
