國內知名鋼琴家盧易之(Yi-Chih Lu)2023年剛獲第34屆傳藝金曲獎「最佳編曲獎」,今年在麗寶文化藝術基金會支持下,與尼可樂表演藝術在台中舉辦鋼琴獨奏會「改編的藝術」,日期為6月28日。除巴哈、威爾第、莫札特等經典曲目,盧易之也將首演親自改編的臺灣民謠改編作品,帶來一場動人心弦的鋼琴演奏盛宴。

盧易之從小就展露過人的琴技天份,在維也納音樂暨表演藝術大學取得碩士、柏林藝術大學最高演奏家文憑,並曾榮登維也納愛樂金廳、柏林愛樂廳演出,回台後擔任臺北藝術大學專任助理教授,其與國外樂團有多次合作,足跡遍及45個城市一流音樂廳。

2016年,在美巡演時,華盛頓州金縣(King Country)將該年7月9日定為「盧易之日」。《南佛羅里達州古典樂評報》則評價這位台灣鋼琴家「擁有演奏李斯特〈帕格尼尼大練習曲〉所需的精準速度、雙手靈活度與歡愉。」

他也曾與奧地利國家廣播電臺交響樂團、維也納太平洋室內樂團、柏林古典樂手樂團、羅馬尼亞阿拉德愛樂等多個知名國際樂團合作,以其感染力與流暢的高度超技巧聞名歐美。

盧易之灌錄有10張鋼琴獨奏專輯,《我的蕭邦;我的布拉姆斯》專輯在2012年獲得「金曲獎」最佳古典音樂專輯獎、最佳演奏獎,其他演奏還包括有布拉姆斯、蕭邦、台灣作曲家洪綺蓮、陳泗治、德國作曲家貝姆作品,而《貝姆鋼琴作品集》更受到德國《法蘭克福郵報》和「巴伐利亞古典音樂電臺」極高評價。

但他最喜歡的是改編樂曲,尤其將早年的台灣民謠、協奏曲等改編為鋼琴獨奏曲,以符合當今民眾的喜好,創造古典樂更大的接納度,「改編不會讓經典消失,反而能在世代的融會下傳承,與經典一同存在。」

此次「改編的藝術」將穿越巴洛克與浪漫樂派與台灣民謠作品,展現改編作品的無限創意。「期待他接下來要為台灣或全世界的愛樂者,帶來怎樣的驚奇。」對曾經拿下國內外13項音樂大賽獎項的鋼琴家,樂評焦元溥對他也有相當期待。

「盧易之鋼琴獨奏會—改編的藝術」受到麗寶文化藝術基金會支持,2024年6月28日晚間7點半,將在台中國家歌劇院中劇院登場。

From a young age, Yi-Chih Lu demonstrated exceptional talent in piano playing. He obtained a master’s degree from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the highest performer’s diploma from the Berlin University of the Arts. He has performed at prestigious venues such as the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein and the Berlin Philharmonie. Upon returning to Taiwan, he became an assistant professor at Taipei National University of the Arts. He has collaborated extensively with orchestras abroad, performing in top music halls across 45 cities worldwide.

During his 2016 tour in the United States, King County, Washington, designated July 9th as “Yi-Chih Lu Day.” The South Florida Classical Review praised this Taiwanese pianist, stating that he “possesses the precise speed, dexterity, and joy required to perform Liszt’s ‘Grandes Études de Paganini’.”

He has also collaborated with several renowned international orchestras including the Austrian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Pacific Chamber Orchestra, the Berlin Classical Players Orchestra, and the Romanian Arad Philharmonic Orchestra. Yi-Chih Lu is celebrated in Europe and America for his infectious musicality and fluent, highly skilled performances.

Yi-Chih Lu has recorded 10 solo piano albums. His album “My Chopin; My Brahms” won the Golden Melody Award for Best Classical Music Album and Best Performance in 2012. His repertoire includes works by Brahms, Chopin, Taiwanese composers Chi-lien Hung(洪綺蓮)and Su-Ti Chen(陳泗治), as well as compositions by German composer Böhm. His “Böhm Piano Works Collection” received high praise from the German “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” and Bavarian Classical Radio.

However, his favorite music work is arranging music, particularly transforming early Taiwanese folk songs and concertos into solo piano pieces that resonate with contemporary audiences. He aims to enhance the classical music’s appeal and accessibility, stating, “Arranging does not erase classics but rather ensures their transmission through generations, allowing them to coexist alongside the originals.”

In this “YI CHIH LU 2024 PIANO RECITAL” concert, audience will traverse through Baroque, Romantic, and Taiwanese folk music, showcasing boundless creativity in Lu’s arrangements. “We look forward to seeing what surprises he will bring next for music lovers in Taiwan or around the world.” With 13 international and domestic music competition awards, Yi-Chih Lu has garnered considerable anticipation from famous music critic Yuan-Pu Chiao(焦元溥).
