艺人介绍

大提琴家史蒂芬‧伊瑟利斯1958年生于英国，祖父是俄国音乐家，日后就读伦敦国际大提琴中心，美国俄亥俄州欧柏林学院，在老师简covall的严格指导下，曾获得皇家爱乐协会年度器乐家奖，以及1993年的皮亚第果斯基大奖，而约翰tavener “保护的面纱”的美国首演也是由他担纲。伊瑟利斯一头长卷发，外表看来内敛保守，脸上经常有一种略带忧郁的表情。他的演奏曲目极广，从巴洛克到现代无所不包，使用1745年的瓜达尼尼琴，羊肠琴弦使得琴音听起来特别甜润。他不刻意用颤音，滑音而让音乐听起来更自然，更有生命力，音量虽不大但是富有感情。伊瑟利斯录音最早发迹于海波，录过布拉姆斯的奏鸣曲，马替奴的协奏曲，福莱等法国作品;之后在美属维尔京也录有不少唱片，与希科克斯，贾第纳，李顿等指挥都有合作，目前他是RCA的专属艺人，经常录一些偏冷但是悦耳动听的大提琴作品，最新力作是“遗忘的浪漫” ，里面就收录不少难得一听的“冷曲” 。在拓展大提琴的录音曲目上，伊瑟利斯的努力可说相当杰出，在诠释上他也走出一条不同于古乐的拘谨，也并非灿烂炫技的新路线，为爱好大提琴音乐的朋友另开了一扇窗。

Steven John Isserlis is one of the leading internationally ranked cellists. He plays a wide range of repertory and is noted for using gut strings and a great deal of vibrato. He is the grandson of Russian composer and pianist Julius Isserlis and can trace his family tree back to connections with both Karl Marx and Felix Mendelssohn.

He spent most of his teenage years (1969-1976) as a pupil of Jane Cowan at the International Cello Centre. He describes her teaching method as both &total immersion& and &very holistic.& For instance, she required the students to read Goethe's Faust in order to understand Beethoven better and memorize Racine to know the sound of the French language when playing French music. During his last two years at the Cello Centre he lived at her house in Scotland three times a year for eight-week stretches.

After finishing at the International Cello Centre, he went to study in the United States at Oberlin College in Ohio with Richard Kapuscinski (1976-1978). During this period, he made his debut in London in 1977. After graduation from Oberlin, he began to establish what has become one of the major cello careers. He has played with many of the leading orchestras and conductors in the world, including the London Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, the Philharmonia, and the London Philharmonic under such conductors as John Eliot Gardiner, Michael Tilson Thomas, Christoph Eschenbach, Roger Norrington, Colin Davis, and Vladimir Ashkenazy. He is also very active as a chamber player. In 1991, he founded a regular trio with violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Olli Mustonen, and frequently gives recitals with pianist and fortepianist Melvin Tan. Other frequent partners have been Stephen Kovacevich, Tabea Zimmermann, Pamela Frank, and Stephen Hough.

He performs the major cello repertory from before Bach to current times. When he plays Classical- or Baroque-era works, he is likely to do so with &period instrument& ensembles. He uses his own cello (sometimes with a slight change in set-up) on such occasions rather than a Baroque cello. However, he often practices for such concerts with a Baroque or Classical bow to get an idea of the likely phrasing and articulation.

One of the most famous late twentieth century works for cello and orchestra, John Tavener's The Protecting Veil, was written for him, and he gave it its first performance in London in 1989 and its American debut in Boston in 1993. He also recorded its first release, on Virgin Classics, a recording that won a Grammophone Award. In 1992, he received the Piatigorsky Artist Award, and in 1993 got the Royal Philharmonic Society's Instrumentalist of the Year Award. Other composers who have written new music for Isserlis include Elizabeth Maconchy, Howard Blake, and Robert Saxton. Isserlis has recorded the Elgar concerto, Britten's Cello Symphony, Bloch's Schelomo, and Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, which he played in the composer's original version, and received wide acclaim for them.

He was an exclusive artist on the Virgin Records label, going back to the days when it was a large independent company, and continued with it for several years after it was acquired by EMI. He now has an exclusive contract with BMG Classics with plans to release major contemporary cello works and standard works on the RCA Victor Red Seal label.

He has increased his teaching activities and gives master classes at the Manchester Cello Festival, and since 1996, when he succeeded Sandor Végh as artistic director of the International Musicians Seminar in Cornwall, England, he has taught and given master classes there annually.
