The Beatles & Takemitsu’s Guitar

云云樂器中，結他是武滿徹的至愛，對古典結他手來說，這位日本大師終其一生為結他創作的一系列作品有如上天的恩賜，計有獨奏、室樂、改編曲、電影音樂及三首協奏曲。結他好手杜子駿與陳慶恩教授將透過三首樂曲，闡釋武滿徹結他作品的獨特音響天地，包括1974年令他聲名大噪的《對開頁》、1977年改編的披頭四樂曲《昨日》，以及1995年離世前三個月完成的最後作品《在林中》。

The guitar is Toru Takemitsu’s favourite instrument, for which his oeuvre is like a gift from heaven for classical guitarists, comprising solos, arrangements, chamber works, film music, and three concertos. Young guitarist Mario To will join Professor Chan Hing-yan to illustrate the Japanese master’s unique guitar soundscape through three works: Folios (1974), the very first piece that made Takemitsu a formidable guitar composer; an arrangement of The Beatles’ Yesterday (1977); and In the Woods (1995), Takemitsu’s very last composition, completed three months before his death.
