专辑介绍:
听听约翰迪马第奴如何赋予旋律新生命,向天才音乐家莫札特致敬!!
用爵士乐改编演奏古典音乐的名曲通常都有很好的销售成绩,但是要玩出创意就不是那么一件容易的事啦!要展现原作曲家的创作精神,又要加入爵士乐编曲、演奏与即兴的元素,实在不是一件容易的事。而约翰迪马第奴在「爵士莫札特」中的改编则是作得好极了!由于约翰迪马第奴本身是钢琴师,所选的曲目大多是莫札特的钢琴协奏曲,但也同时选了「费加洛婚礼」、「安魂曲」与「第四十号交响曲」等着名乐曲中的片段,都是乐迷常听到的旋律。如果不是对莫札特的曲子倒背如流的狂热份子,大概也听不出来这些曲子是从哪里改编出来的,这就是约翰迪马第奴浪漫三重奏的厉害之处,因为他们赋予这些旋律全新的生命。
而这些曲子到底听起来如何呢?答桉就在这个钢琴三重奏的团名之中-浪漫!这些天才神童的经典名曲在约翰迪马第奴浪漫三重奏的演绎下依然是浪漫到不行。里面唯一不是由莫札特所写的曲子,是第三首的《Desert Journey》,这首曲子是向天才音乐家莫札特致敬,里面加入大量的打击乐器,听起来活力十足,让人顿时心花朵朵开!

Reviews:
The trio session on "Jazz Mozart" features pianist John di Martino with double bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Ernesto Simpson in a program of some of Mozart's more romantic pieces. The waltzes, in particular, carry a rewarding texture that allows for natural jazz interpretation. "The Fire of Passion", for example, from the "Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor", briskly ebbs and flows like the motion of our lungs, as we inhale the music's secret. "Fantasy in D minor" moves with a deliberate air that calls out tension and release in a passionate state. The trio interprets "Lacrymosa" (Requiem, K696) in a dark murmur that allows plenty of room for pensive thinking. Tender ballads such as "My Heart Needs to Know" and "Arc of Love" produce impressive results. di Martino has added one original piece, "Desert Journey", which contains an exotic charm of its own. Mozart created these works of art over 200 years ago and now di Martino redefines them as jazz masterpieces.
