樂語融融

內容簡介：

去年11月﹐英國鋼琴家李維斯在港大繆思樂季演奏貝多芬《迪亞貝利變奏曲》，為作曲家誕辰250週年揭開序幕。事隔一年，大部份慶祝活動都受疫情影響而暫停或取消。於2020年9月錄影的「樂語融融」﹐李維斯談及他如何利用封城的日子重溫年輕時期的曲目，分享在社交距離下直播的感受，以及探討觀眾對現場表演的重要性。李維斯對貝多芬和舒伯特作品的詮釋為人熟悉，他亦趁這機會分享對兩位巨匠的看法，以及他們的音樂在疫情中如何為自己帶來深深慰藉。

Synopsis: In November 2019, pianist Paul Lewis presented in the HKU MUSE series Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations, as a prelude to the composer’s 250th birthday celebration. Unfortunately, an entire year of festivities has been lost or affected due to the pandemic. In this conversation with Prof. Daniel Chua (recorded in September 2020), Paul shares with us how he makes use of the lockdown to revisit old repertoire and discover new works, his experience with live streaming, and his reflection on the meaning of live concerts. A heralded interpreter of Beethoven and Schubert, Paul also tells us how he finds their works deeply consoling at this time.
