Vincent Belanger 是來自加拿大滿地可的大提琴演奏家/作曲家,2016年起便成為英國Hi-End 音響名牌Audio Note 的品牌大使,每一年德國慕尼黑音響展期間,他都會在影子展會hifideluxe 所在地-萬豪酒店的Audio Note 展房裡,間歇性地演奏大提琴。今年AN租了一間較大的展房,擺放了廠方剛剛成功開發的Meishu Phono Silver Signature Tonmeister 合併機和AN-E field coil 揚聲器,CD 3 作訊源,Vincent 在展房裡播放自己創作大提琴二重奏的MMO ,自己即時拉奏大提琴作現場合奏,現場加錄音的音響效果竟然合拍得有如水乳交融,全無破綻,令我嘆為聽止!AN器材重播音樂的超級像真度固然效果超群,Vincent 的大師級演奏技巧與及作品的動聽度與活生感同樣叫人讚嘆,是聽覺的頂級享受!
Vincent 前幾年在滿地可創立了一支Les 9 de Montreal 小樂隊,隊員非常特別,由8支大提琴和一支低音提琴組成,我在會場買了一張由這支樂隊演奏的CD「Consonance 」,內裡曲目有多首改編古典名曲,包括拉威爾的[Bolero],巴柏的[Adagio],艾爾加的[Nimrod],比才的[卡門]等等,8支cello 加1支大牛筋的低頻弦海音效真係想想都興奮,加上音樂動聽而且錄音效果出奇地靚,我認為值得向本刋讀書推薦。(大草執筆)
Consonance
by Les 9 de Montréal
Les 9 comprises 8 cellos and 1 double bass. My goal in creating this ensemble is to surprise listeners with the expressive richness of the cello. To me, the main beauty of an ensemble made up of cellos is to find the compatibility – indeed, the consonance – amongst our differences.
