格萊美大獎提名獲得者保羅·格布瑞什、埃迪爾頓和埃弗頓·格羅伊頓兄弟、以及塔代烏·多·阿瑪拉爾，四位在巴西居住的極為優(yōu)秀的吉他演奏家組成了被稱為“夢幻團隊”的巴西吉他四重奏。2000年4月，他們進行了在美國的首次巡演，演出地點包括紐約、華盛頓（期間還成為國家廣播電臺“今日演奏”節(jié)目的主角）、達拉斯、洛杉磯、鳳凰城、波特蘭、圣何塞、西棕櫚灘、里士滿等等。從東海岸到西海岸，他們的演出票成為了炙手可熱的緊俏商品，聽眾如癡如醉，媒體熱評如潮。巴西吉他四重奏很快成為世界上最受歡迎的吉他演奏團體之一。隨著他們2000、2001和2002三年在北美巡演的巨大成功，他們的演奏和約也紛至踏來，其中包括加州理工大學(xué)的科爾曼室內(nèi)樂系列、亞特蘭大的斯匹威大廳、巴爾蒂摩約翰－霍普金斯大學(xué)的雪弗大廳、肖陶擴湖音樂節(jié)、佛羅里達國際音樂節(jié)、卡梅爾巴赫音樂節(jié)、華盛頓的敦巴頓音樂會等等。除了頻頻出現(xiàn)在美國的各大城市之外，演出和約還包括了比利時、葡萄牙、危地馬拉和波多黎各的國際音樂節(jié)等等。在2004年的巴爾蒂摩世界吉他大會的開幕式上，巴西吉他四重奏將擔(dān)當重要角色。他們將和巴爾蒂摩管弦樂團合作首演委托巴西作曲家羅納爾多·米蘭達創(chuàng)作的吉他協(xié)奏曲。巴西吉他四重奏的唱片“巴西精華”（Delos，DE3245）被著名的《高保真音響》選入了1999年****錄音列表，這張唱片不僅在美國和巴西頗有影響，在法國、英國、日本也備受歡迎。他們的第二張唱片“巴赫的四部管弦樂組曲”（Delos，DE3254）又出現(xiàn)在了2000年****錄音列表之中。而他們的最新唱片“Encantamento”（Delos，DE3302）則首次改編和演奏了在過去150年間巴西最重要的七位作曲家的作品。
保羅·格布瑞什簡介，Galbraith (保羅·格布瑞什)。國籍：英國。格布瑞什最初在英國嶄露頭角是在17歲的時候參加了塞戈維亞國際吉他大賽并獲得銀獎，塞戈維亞當時出現(xiàn)在比賽現(xiàn)場，并用“極為出色”來評價格布瑞什的演奏。隨后，他就獲得了英國BBC的“年度音樂家”稱號，成為這一稱號的最年輕獲得者。這兩項榮譽使他的國際演奏生涯順利展開，很多英國以及歐洲最好的樂團都與其接洽希望合作演出，其中包括皇家交響樂團、歐洲室內(nèi)樂團、BBC交響樂團、蘇格蘭交響樂團、英國室內(nèi)樂團、BBC蘇格蘭管弦樂團、蘇格蘭巴洛克管弦樂團、阿爾斯特管弦樂團、哈雷管弦樂團以及蘇格蘭室內(nèi)樂團等等。此后，他與莫斯科室內(nèi)樂團合作在美國巡回演出；在布拉格的德沃夏克大廳與智利國家室內(nèi)樂團合作演出；在加拿大、西班牙、意大利、希臘、挪威、匈牙利、巴西、中國、印度、冰島……。當他在紐約的“Frick Collection”初次登臺后，《紐約時報》超乎尋常的高度評價使得隨后在林肯中心所舉行的“偉大的演奏”系列音樂會票立即售罄。此后他在洛杉磯、費城、多弗、以及卡梅爾巴赫音樂節(jié)上引人注目的人物，而音樂會也開遍了美國各大城市，包括華盛頓、克里弗蘭、西雅圖、波特蘭、邁阿密、巴爾蒂摩以及密爾沃基等等。2000～2001年間，他又成為了歐洲樂壇炙手可熱的人物，足跡遍及英國、德國、意大利、荷蘭等很多國家。作為巴西吉他四重奏的創(chuàng)始人，格布瑞什的很多演出是作為這個重奏組合中的一員進行的。此外，為了和圣彼得堡弦樂四重奏合作演奏，他委托著名的喬治亞作曲家納達里亞什維利（Zurab Nadarejshvili）為他們創(chuàng)作吉他與弦樂五重奏作品，并在2001～2002年間進行了首演。2000年夏天，他作為特邀嘉賓，與我國的上海吉他四重奏合作演出。格布瑞什與眾不同的演奏姿勢最初是在1989年的愛丁堡藝術(shù)節(jié)上使用的。他的專用八弦吉他是與英國制作家大衛(wèi)·盧比奧（David Rubio）合作設(shè)計的，在高音和低音方向各增加了一條弦，并有一根類似大提琴的金屬尾針支撐，支在一個木質(zhì)共振箱上。他的這把吉他被稱作是“勃拉姆斯吉他”，最初，格布瑞什試圖把勃拉姆斯的一首鋼琴作品（主題與變奏，作品21a）改編到六弦吉他上，結(jié)果在音域以及左手的指法安排上都遇到了巨大的困難。在與意大利吉他演奏家格隆多納（Stefano Grondona）進行了一番交流之后，格布瑞什開始研究樂器本身方面的改進，即通過增加弦的方法擴大吉他的音域。隨后，盧比奧解決了樂器制作技術(shù)方面的問題，包括使用了獨創(chuàng)的不平行品絲設(shè)計（右圖為格布瑞什所使用的八弦吉他）。格布瑞什非凡的吉他設(shè)計和獨特的演奏風(fēng)格被認為是吉他發(fā)展史上的一次大地震，他不僅大大提高了吉他的表現(xiàn)力，還進入了前人未曾涉足的領(lǐng)域。從1983年開始，他的主要老師是希臘指揮家、鋼琴家、哲學(xué)家喬治·哈德依尼科斯（George Hadjinikos）。保羅·格布瑞什自己改編和演奏的雙CD唱片《巴赫無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲和組曲全集》（Delos 3232）是為了紀念巴赫逝世250周年而推出的。這套唱片獲得了1998年格萊美****獨奏樂器專輯大獎的提名，而著名的留聲機雜志則將其評選為1998年最優(yōu)秀的兩張唱片之一，并稱之為“吉他唱片歷史上的里程碑”。同時，它獲得了立體聲評論（Stereo Review）的四星評價，并進入10大古典音樂唱片行列。1999～2000年間，格布瑞什曾多次成為國家公共廣播節(jié)目“包羅萬象”和“今日演奏”的主角。
埃迪爾頓·格羅伊頓。他是當今巴西最杰出的吉他演奏家之一。他很早便開始了職業(yè)演奏生涯，他的各種類型的音樂會開遍了歐洲、美國以及拉美地區(qū)。他已為很多巴西作曲家的大量作品擔(dān)當首演演奏家，其中包括Francisco Mignone、Camargo Guarnieri、Claudio Santoro、Mario Ficarelli、Olivier Toni、Gilberto Mendes、Paulo Costa Lima以及Paulo Porto Alegre等等。他擁有音樂學(xué)的碩士學(xué)位，現(xiàn)在是圣保羅大學(xué)音樂系的教授，在巴西所舉行的各種音樂節(jié)上，他是不可或缺的重量級人物。埃迪爾頓也非常熱衷于通過廣播節(jié)目推廣吉他藝術(shù)，從1994年8月開始，圣保羅USP調(diào)頻開始推出一檔每周播出一次的“音樂會吉他”節(jié)目，而埃迪爾頓就是這個節(jié)目的主要負責(zé)人。同時，他所負責(zé)的節(jié)目還包括圣保羅Cultura調(diào)頻（拉美最重要的古典音樂頻道）廣播的“吉他，聲音之路”和“偉大的吉他協(xié)奏曲”兩個節(jié)目。他最新的唱片包括和長笛演奏家安納尼亞斯（Jose Ananias）在Paulus唱片公司所出版的“巴西慶典”以及在Egta唱片公司出版的獨奏唱片“二十年代”。
埃弗頓·格羅伊頓是在圣保羅土生土長的吉他演奏家，他的求學(xué)生涯相當豐富，分別在西班牙、德國、巴西師從卡雷巴洛（Abel Carlevaro）、桑托索拉（Guido Santorsola）、皮埃里（Alvaro Pierri）、羅德里戈（Jose Luis Rodrigo）等明師學(xué)習(xí)。另外，他還獲得了英國劍橋大學(xué)的獎學(xué)金，師從吉爾文頓（Chris Kilvington）。格羅伊頓曾經(jīng)贏得過兩項重要的吉他比賽的第二名：巴西的帕萊斯特里納國際吉他大賽以及德國的霍夫國際吉他大賽。在二十年的職業(yè)演奏生涯里，他作為獨奏家和室內(nèi)樂團體的成員在巴西內(nèi)外舉辦了無數(shù)場音樂會，華盛頓的美洲音樂廳、德國的法蘭克福歌劇院、委內(nèi)瑞拉著名的加拉加斯音樂節(jié)里都曾為他喝采。他還是第一個在巴西完整演奏巴赫的魯特琴組曲的吉他演奏家。格羅伊頓是圣保羅Cultura調(diào)頻的“20世紀的六弦吉他”系列節(jié)目的撰稿人和播講者。他的唱片包括在OEA公司和EGTA公司出版的多張專輯。
塔代烏·多·阿瑪拉爾生于圣保羅，師從多位巴西著名音樂家，象傳奇的吉他教授薩維奧（Isaias Savio）、索阿雷斯（Leo Soares）以及桑托羅（Claudio Santoro）。除了經(jīng)常在巴西舉辦音樂會之外，他還經(jīng)常應(yīng)各國音樂家之邀前往合作演出。自從1985年他舉辦了一系列關(guān)于英國作曲家作品的音樂會之后，他開始對吉他作品進行更寬泛也更專項的演出，象波蘭作曲家泰茲曼（Alexandre Tansman）的吉他作品全集，巴赫的魯特琴組曲全集等等。他的兩張唱片“西班牙音樂”（Musica Espannola）以及龐塞作品專輯都在《經(jīng)典CD》和《吉他演奏者》等雜志上獲得了高度評價。近幾年，阿瑪拉爾正與巴西的EGTA唱片公司合作，致力于“偉大的吉他演奏家”和“巴西音樂史”兩個重要錄音項目之中。（譯：詠鵬）（感謝塔代烏·多·阿瑪拉爾授權(quán)提供文字及圖片資料。）
