魔奇樂器 / Magic Lute by city chen

「魔奇樂器」是2009年德國「魯多許塔」民謠音樂節的特別企劃,邀請六位魯特琴家族的音樂家們共同創作:Adel Salameh (烏德琴/巴勒斯坦), 鍾玉鳳 (琵琶/台灣), Daniel Fredriksson (曼陀拉/瑞典), Dimitris Varelopoulos (魯特琴/希臘), Géza Fábri (科不思/匈牙利),Katsia Prakopchyk(曼陀鈴/白俄羅斯) , 他們在樂器的異同中競逐,展現魯特琴在不同文化脈絡的魅力,除了音樂節開幕首演外,2010年更延伸至歐洲城市巡迴,受到許多歡迎。

“Magic Lute” was a special project that debuted in 2009 at the Tanz & Folk Festival in Rudolstadt, Germany, bringing together six musicians from six different countries. Each performer represented a tradition on their respective stringed instruments, with a roster that included Adel Salameh (Oud/Palestine), Yufeng (Pipa/Taiwan),Daniel Fredriksson (Mandola/Sweden), Dimitris Varelopoulos (Louto/Greece), Géza Fábri (Koboz/Hungary) and Katsia Prakopchyk (Mandolin/Belarus). This unique summit captured the sonorous beauty of these “magic lutes” for a welcoming audience, and the project was extended in 2010 for a further well-received European tour.
