馬友友與艾克斯當今世界古典音樂界的最佳搭檔
◎ 為慶祝2019年美國鋼琴家艾克斯70歲生日而特別發行
◎ 艾克斯與馬友友將近50年友誼之紀念專輯


  本套專輯是為慶祝2019年美國鋼琴家艾克斯70歲生日,同時也作為他與華裔大提琴家馬友友將近50年友誼之紀念,而特別發行。專輯共21張CD,完整收錄兩人合作的大提琴與鋼琴作品,包含以鋼琴伴奏的大提琴奏鳴曲,以及兩人與史坦(Isaac Stern)、帕爾曼(Itzhak Perlman)、史托茲曼(Richard Stoltzman)等人合作之三重奏、四重奏、五重奏。
  馬友友(Yo-Yo Ma, 1955 - )與艾克斯(Emanuel Ax, 1949 - )的完美合作被譽為當今世界古典音樂界的最佳搭檔。兩人在茱利亞音樂院求學時期就已經熟識,至今將近五十年。在音樂旅程上一直是互相支持的最佳伙伴。
  最初艾克斯是在學校的練琴室擔任馬友友的鋼琴伴奏,很快便成為好朋友。求學階段,兩人便經常合作演出室內樂。成名之後的馬友友在美國和世界各地旅行演出時,除了獨奏,最常合奏的搭檔就是艾克斯。兩人完美的合作默契,完全來自多年深厚的友誼。艾克斯便表示他音樂生涯中最幸運的一件事便是能夠與馬友友合作。
  兩人合作演出的錄音曾經數度獲獎,包括1985年、1986年獲得葛萊美獎肯定的布拉姆斯大提琴奏鳴曲和貝多芬專輯。而多張專輯也得到日本唱片藝術雜誌的肯定。
  Stereo Review評論他們合作的舒伯特《鱒魚五重奏》與《阿貝鳩奈奏鳴曲》錄音,表示:「這張由鋼琴家艾克斯、大提琴家馬友友與好友們所帶來的新錄音讓人耳目一新,揉合室內樂與歌曲般的抒情,彷彿重現當年舒伯特與好友在維也納的薄暮所舉辦的家庭音樂會一般。」留聲機雜誌評論其莫札特《鋼琴四重奏全集》:「一巨星級的組合呈現了充滿想像力和洞察力的演出,他們的速度控制非常的完美,而其演奏則始終傳達出一種快樂而自發的感受。
   David Hurwitz在亞馬遜網站必藏錄音推薦其合作的拉赫曼尼諾夫、普羅高菲夫《大提琴奏鳴曲》錄音:「拉赫曼尼諾夫的大提琴奏鳴曲中....兩人都表現偉大演出所必要的那種藝術上的互動,而不致過度耽溺在音樂中。普羅高菲夫奏鳴曲....是份量較輕的作品,但兩人的演奏也毫不遜色。....
  專輯中,艾克斯寫到:「當我看到這套我與馬友友合作的錄音清單時,我感到非常榮幸能與這位非凡的藝術家一同分享這趟旅程。因為偶然的機緣與無比的好運,讓我獲得這件禮物,我很感念我們在一起的時光。希望還能有數年的光景可以繼續跟他學習,持續探索的樂趣。
