英国卫报The Guardian对李云迪《叙事曲》专辑的碟评 plenty of thrilling moments 四星★★★★

Following on from his Chopin Preludes disc comes Li Yundi’s first recording of what are arguably the composer’s biggest challenges: the four Ballades. They are coolly but compellingly dispatched, with Yundi generally passing up opportunities to score easy dramatic points in favour of taking the long view, shaping the pieces into a single span. There are plenty of thrilling moments, however – the ending of the Ballade No 1, for example, which is almost violently stark, and the way the scales rattle crisply and unstoppably up and down in the buildup to the climax of No 4. The Ballades always seem rhythmically grounded; the four Op 17 Mazurkas, which he teams them with, bring out a more rhapsodic, sometimes playful approach. Occasionally one misses the effects: if he has a magical, extra-soft tone in his box of tricks, we don’t hear it, even in the gently rocking Berceuse that clears the air after the fourth Ballade.

大量震撼人心的时刻 冷静且引人入胜
紧接肖邦前奏曲专辑而来的是李云迪的第一张叙事曲专辑,这四首叙事曲可以说是作曲家的最大挑战。它们被处理得很冷酷但却很动人,云迪通常放弃那些易得分点而倾向于把目光放长远,把曲目塑造成一个体系。
这其中许多激动人心的时刻,然而——例如第一叙事曲的结尾几乎狂烈,而且在第四叙事曲高潮的酝酿阶段音阶跑动迅速清脆且势不可挡地起伏跌宕。叙事曲通常被认为是节奏鲜明的:他合为一组的OP17四首玛祖卡则带来了一种更为狂想曲式的,有时有点戏谑的方式。
