大提琴的多重宇宙2.0
Cello in the Multiverse – Opus 2
「2025臺灣國際大提琴藝術節─大提琴的多重宇宙2.0」巡演，共規劃五場三套精彩曲目，前三場將在台北演出，最後兩場於高雄登場。演出形式從大提琴獨奏、大提琴與鋼琴二重奏，到大提琴合奏，並融入爵士樂元素，在豐富絢麗的大提琴音樂中，開啟一場壯闊的大提琴多重宇宙之旅。
10.04 Sat. 14:30 國家兩廳院演奏廳 National Recital Hall（場館位置）
為持續創造嶄新聆聽體驗，TWICF在臺北登場的第二套曲目將以大提琴獨奏作品為主軸。首先由巴洛克大提琴家克里斯汀‧馮‧德‧戈爾茨（Kristin von der Goltz）演奏在當時與巴赫《大提琴無伴奏組曲》同享盛名的巴洛克作曲家約瑟夫‧阿巴科兼具高度技巧與豐沛情感的《隨想曲》揭開序幕，接著由唯一被列入史坦威名人堂的臺灣爵士鋼琴家陳若玗，以爵士節奏即興回應，為觀眾帶來耳目一新的體驗。
音樂會下半場，在英國大提琴家娜塔莉．克萊因（Natalie Clein）帶來西貝流士年輕時創作，迷人卻鮮為人知的《主題與變奏曲》後，隨著音樂重返上世紀70年代，在傳奇大提琴家羅斯托波維奇為慶賀瑞士指揮家暨贊助人保羅‧薩赫（Paul Sacher）生辰，邀集二十世紀12位頂尖作曲家創作的《十二首致敬保羅．薩赫的大提琴獨奏曲》中，聲臨現代大提琴炫技多彩的美麗盛景。今年與明年，TWICF將為臺灣樂迷呈現這套大提琴精品。本場音樂會特別邀請法國大提琴家安妮．加斯蒂內爾（Anne Gastinel）、德國大提琴家拉斐拉．葛羅美斯（Raphaela Gromes）與臺灣大提琴家鄭伊晴為樂迷引薦其中Witold Lutoslawsky、Conrad Beck、Luciano Berio 及Henri Dutilleux的四首珠玉之作，在紀念這些作品創作50周年的同時，也讓這段樂壇佳話隨樂流傳。
此外，現場還將演出瑞士作曲家Thomas Demenga創作的精彩大提琴獨奏作品。他是享譽國際的瑞士大提琴家與備受推崇的教授。在他最常被演奏的作品中，就包含這首《常春藤》（Efeu），這是他於2010年為費爾曼大提琴大賽（Emanuel Feuermann Competition）所創作的指定曲。作品標題《Efeu》在德文中具有雙關語的趣味：它既是「Emanuel Feuermann」姓名的縮寫，也是德文中「常春藤」的意思。

The 2025 Taiwan International Cello Festival concert tour The Cello in the Multiverse – Opus 2 presents five performances in Taipei and Kaohsiung, spanning three programs. The diverse repertoire ranges from solo and duo pieces to cello ensembles and even jazz elements, offering audiences an immersive journey through a vibrant cello multiverse.
10.04 Sat. 14:30 National Recital Hall（Venue Location）
To continue offering fresh and innovative listening experiences, TWICF's second concert program in Taipei will center around solo cello works. The evening opens with baroque cellist Kristin von der Goltz performing Joseph Marie Clement Dall'Abaco's Caprices, a set of technically demanding and emotionally rich pieces that, in their time, were held in the same regard as Bach's Solo Cello Suites. Her performance will be followed by a unique jazz improvisation in response, played by Taiwanese jazz pianist Jo-Yu Chen—the only Taiwanese artist inducted into the Steinway Hall of Fame—offering a refreshing blend of classical depth and jazz spontaneity.
In the second half, British cellist Natalie Clein presents Jean Sibelius's Theme and Variations, a captivating and little-known early work by the Finnish composer. The program then moves into the 1970s, revisiting the legendary moment when Mstislav Rostropovich commissioned 12 leading 20th-century composers to create solo cello pieces in honor of Swiss conductor and patron Paul Sacher's birthday. Four of these brilliant works—by Henri Dutilleux, Witold Lutosławski, Conrad Beck, and Luciano Berio—will be performed in this concert by Anne Gastinel (France), Raphaela Gromes (Germany), and Yi-Ching Cheng (Taiwan).
Additionally there will be performed a fascinating solo piece by Thomas Demenga, an internationally renowned Swiss cellist and respected professor. Among his most frequently performed pieces is the solo work "Efeu", which he wrote as a required piece for the Emanuel Feuermann Competition in 2010. The title "Efeu" is a German play on words: it's both an abbreviation of the name "Emanuel Feuermann" and the German word for "ivy."
Together, these works celebrate the virtuosity, color, and expressive power of modern cello music, reviving a fascinating chapter in music history and bringing it vividly to life on stage.

約瑟夫．阿巴科（1710–1805）11首大提琴隨想曲
約瑟夫．阿巴科是一位德國作曲家與大提琴家，他是著名小提琴家埃瓦里斯托．阿巴科（Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco）的兒子。在慕尼黑完成音樂訓練後，他前往波恩擔任宮廷音樂家，無論作為大提琴演奏家還是作曲家，皆備受推崇。他的作品標誌著從巴洛克時期到早期古典時期的過渡：典雅的優美風格與炫技的趣味性巧妙融合。尤其是他為大提琴創作的作品，被認為是該樂器早期獨奏文獻的重要見證。
這些作品也是他最令人印象深刻的創作之一。技術要求與風格多樣並存：自由、即興般的段落與舞曲節奏交替，炫技樂句與抒情旋律並行。它們不僅展現了阿巴科對大提琴的精湛掌握，也反映出18世紀大提琴作為獨奏聲部的重要性日益提升。
與時共鳴
爵士鋼琴家陳若玗以即興對話的方式回應這部作品，將《隨想曲》中的主題與元素加以承接，並在當下相呼應。她原本就受古典音樂的專業訓練，並以此為基礎，豐富了她的探索歷程。近年，陳若玗投入古典音樂的深層探尋，細膩地將其與爵士元素融合，並以高度個人化的方式進一步發展。她的這段藝術探索，透過數張備受讚譽的專輯生動展現。
Joseph-Marie-Clément Dall'Abaco (1710–1805) –11 Caprices for solo violoncello
Joseph-Marie-Clément Dall'Abaco was a German composer and cellist, the son of the famous violinist Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco. After his training in Munich, he pursued a career as court musician in Bonn, where he was highly regarded both as a cellist and as a composer. His oeuvre marks the transition from the Baroque to the early Classical era: galant elegance merges with virtuosic playfulness. His works for violoncello in particular are considered important testimonies of the early solo literature for the instrument.
The are among his most impressive creations. Technical demands meet stylistic variety: free, improvisatory passages alternate with dance-like rhythms, virtuosic runs with lyrical lines. They reveal not only Dall'Abaco's mastery of the cello but also the growing importance of the instrument as a solo voice in the 18th century.
In Dialogue with the Present
The jazz pianist Jo-Yu Chen responds to this work with an improvisatory dialogue that takes up themes and elements of the Caprices and mirrors them in the present. In recent years, Chen has engaged deeply with classical music, blending it sensitively with elements of jazz and developing it further in a highly personal way. This path is documented on several widely acclaimed albums.
西貝流士（1865–1957） D小調主題與變奏
西⾙流⼠的《D⼩調主題與變奏》創作於1887年夏天，他停留在圖爾庫群島（Turku Archipelago）期間完成此作，是⽬前已知最早的芬蘭⼤提琴獨奏作品。這⾸作品創作時，西⾙流⼠仍是赫爾⾟基⾳樂學院的學⽣，樂曲展現出他年輕時的好奇⼼與探索精神。當時，除巴赫外，⼤提琴的獨奏曲⽬仍相當稀少︔西⾙流⼠的創作不僅在芬蘭是不尋常的，也在整個歐洲⾳樂界頗為罕⾒。
這部作品很可能最初由作曲家的弟弟、⼤提琴家克⾥斯蒂安．西⾙流⼠（Christian Sibelius）試奏。在簡潔的主題與充滿創意的變奏中，樂曲展現了對⼤提琴表現⼒的濃厚興趣，也初現了這位⽇後將塑造芬蘭國族⾳樂的作曲家的創作風格雛形。

Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) – Theme and Variations in D minor for solo cello
Composed during a summer stay in the Turku archipelago in 1887, Sibelius's Theme and Variations in D minor stands as the earliest known Finnish work for solo cello. Written while he was still a student at the Helsinki Music Institute, the piece reflects his youthful curiosity and exploratory spirit. At the time, the cello repertoire beyond Bach remained sparse, and Sibelius's contribution was unusual not only in Finland but also in the wider European context.
The work was most likely first tried out by the composer's younger brother, the cellist Christian Sibelius. In its concise theme and inventive variations, the piece reveals both a fascination with the cello's expressive possibilities and the beginnings of a creative voice that would later shape Finland's national music.
托瑪斯．德門加 (*1954) 常春藤
托瑪斯．德⾨加是瑞⼠最具多才才藝的⾳樂家之⼀：他身兼國際知名的⼤提琴家、即興演奏者、教育家與作曲家。除了以獨奏家與室內樂演奏家的身份活躍於國際舞臺之外，他亦發展出⼀套獨⽴的創作體系，作品常結合即興的⾃由與當代聲響的實驗。
他的作品《常春藤》是⼀⾸絢麗多彩的⼤提琴獨奏曲，編織出⼀張細膩的⾳⾊與技法之網，將樂器的可能性探索至遠超於⼈們熟悉的範疇。德⾨加常以出⼈意料的⽅式帶來驚喜，例如僅以⼀個迴紋針便能奏出如鐘聲般的⾳⾊，使⼤提琴的聲響進入前所未有的領域。
Thomas Demenga (*1954) – Efeu for Violoncello solo
Thomas Demenga is among the most versatile Swiss musicians: an internationally sought-after cellist, improviser, pedagogue, and composer. Alongside his career as soloist and chamber musician, he has developed an independent body of compositions that often combine improvisatory freedom with contemporary sound experiments.
His work Efeu (Ivy) is a shimmering, colorful solo piece for violoncello. It unfolds a fine web of timbres and techniques that explores the instrument's possibilities far beyond the familiar. Demenga surprises with unusual means – for example, producing bell-like tones with a simple paper clip, which transform the cello's sound into unexpected realms.
保羅．薩赫 (1906–1999)
保羅．薩赫（Paul Sacher）是二十世紀音樂的重要核心人物之一，身兼指揮家、委託人、贊助者與收藏家。1926年，他創立了巴塞爾室樂團（Basel Chamber Orchestra），在隨後的數十年間委託創作了約兩百部作品，其中許多更由他親自首演。薩赫不僅支持音樂教育與研究，如創立巴塞爾音樂學院，並於1973年成立保羅．薩赫基金會，如今已成為全球最重要的二十與二十一世紀音樂研究中心之一。
1976年，為慶祝薩赫七十歲生日，羅斯托波維奇（Mstislav Rostropovich）發起了一份極為特殊的禮物：邀請當時十二位最具代表性的作曲家，圍繞薩赫名字中字母（以德語音名轉換）所構成的主題 SACHER（降E–A–C–B–E–D/Re），各自譜寫變奏曲。開頭主題由布列頓（Benjamin Britten）創作，他雖已病重，仍貢獻了一首簡短卻深具感染力的《C小調莊嚴的慢板》。
《十二首致敬保羅．薩赫的大提琴獨奏曲》選曲
於是便誕生了這套名為《十二首致敬保羅．薩赫的大提琴獨奏曲》的作品集，由盧西亞諾．貝里奧（Luciano Berio）、布列茲（Pierre Boulez）、亨利．杜替伊（Henri Dutilleux）、沃夫岡．福特納（Wolfgang Fortner）、阿爾韋托．希納斯特拉（Alberto Ginastera）、克里斯托瓦爾．哈爾夫特（Cristóbal Halffter）、漢斯．亨策（Hans Werner Henze）、海因茨．霍利格（Heinz Holliger）、克勞斯．胡伯（Klaus Huber）、維托爾德．盧托斯瓦夫斯基（Witold Lutosławski）、以及康拉德·貝克（Conrad Beck）共同創作。由羅斯托波維奇本人於1976年在蘇黎世音樂廳首演。
• 盧西亞諾．⾙⾥奧 (1925–2003) 話語已逝
這位義大利作曲家是1945年後音樂的重要革新者，尤以其實驗性的《序列》系列獨奏曲聞名於世。他為薩赫創作的致敬曲，同樣展現了其對炫技性與遊戲感的敏銳感受，並探索了大提琴豐富多變的表現力。
• 維托爾德．盧托斯瓦夫斯 (1913–1994) 薩赫變奏曲
盧托斯瓦夫斯基被視為二十世紀最重要的波蘭作曲家之一，他的音樂結合了現代技法與獨特而溫暖的旋律語感。他的薩赫致敬曲是一首張力十足的作品，將其音樂的情感深度凝縮於小巧而精煉的篇幅之中。
• 康拉德．貝克(1901–1989) 三首詼諧短詩
這位瑞士作曲家與薩赫長年保持密切聯繫。薩赫在指揮巴塞爾室內樂團期間，曾演出過貝克的多部作品。貝克的音樂承襲了清晰結構與古典比例的傳統；他的致敬曲同樣體現出這種精煉而內斂的音樂語言。
• 亨利．杜替耶 (1916–2013)以薩赫為名的三首詩歌
這位法國作曲家發展出高度個人化、色彩斑斕的音樂風格，巧妙調和傳統與現代。他的薩赫致敬曲是一首細膩而富詩意的作品，完美展現了其在聲響設計上精緻而獨到的藝術。
Paul Sacher (1906–1999)
Paul Sacher was one of the central figures of 20th-century music – conductor, commissioner, patron, and collector. In 1926 he founded the Basel Chamber Orchestra and, over the following decades, commissioned around two hundred works, many of which he premiered himself. Sacher not only supported music education and research – for instance through the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis – but in 1973 also established the Paul Sacher Foundation, today one of the world’s most important research centers for music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
For Sacher's 70th birthday in 1976, Mstislav Rostropovich initiated an extraordinary gift: twelve leading composers of the time were invited to write variations on a theme derived from the musical letters (in German) of the name SACHER (E-flat–A–C–B–E–D/Re). The initial theme came from Benjamin Britten, who, though already gravely ill, contributed a short but poignant Lento maestoso in C minor.
12 Hommages à Paul Sacher for Violoncello solo
Thus arose the cycle of 12 Hommages à Paul Sacher, with contributions by Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, Henri Dutilleux, Wolfgang Fortner, Alberto Ginastera, Cristóbal Halffter, Hans Werner Henze, Heinz Holliger, Klaus Huber, Witold Lutosławski, and Conrad Beck. Rostropovich himself gave the premiere in 1976 at the Tonhalle Zurich.
-
Luciano Berio (1925–2003) – Les mots sont allés
The Italian composer was a major innovator of post-1945 music, renowned above all for his experimental Sequenze for solo instruments. His homage to Sacher likewise reveals his sense of virtuosity and playful energy, exploring the cello in all its expressive possibilities.
-
Witold Lutosławski (1913–1994) – Sacher Variations for Solo Cello
Lutosławski is regarded as one of the most important Polish composers of the 20th century. His works combine modern techniques with distinctive melodic warmth. His homage to Sacher is a piece of great expressive power that condenses the emotional depth of his music into a small form.
-
Conrad Beck (1901–1989) – Three Epigrams for Solo Cello
The Swiss composer was closely associated with Sacher for many years. As conductor of the Basel Chamber Orchestra, Sacher performed numerous of his works. Beck's music stands in the tradition of clear forms and classical proportions – his homage likewise reflects this concise, concentrated language.
-
Henri Dutilleux (1916–2013) – 3 Strophes sur le nom de Sacher
The French composer developed a highly personal, colorful style that mediates between tradition and modernity. His homage is a subtle, poetic work that exemplifies his art of refined sound design.
