ケンブリッジ・バスカーズ・コレクション(4CD)

ケンブリッジ大学出身のマイケル・コプレイとデイヴィッド・イングラムの二人により1970年代後半に結成された大道芸人風デュオ「ケンブリッジ・バスカーズ」は、、1988年に、アコーディオンがイアン・ムーアに代わって「クラシック・バスカーズ」と名前を変えるまでの10数年間に、世界で人気を博したユニークなデュオ。

その特徴は、「クラシックの名曲の数々をおもしろおかしく笛とアコーディオンで演奏してしまう」というもので、特に速いテンポの曲での笛の超絶技巧ぶりには目を見張るものがありました。

実際、マイケル・コプレイのテクニックと音楽性には確かなものがあり、イ・ムジチのバッハ：ブランデンブルク協奏曲の録音に参加したり、ヴィヴァルディの協奏曲集やテレマンの協奏曲の録音でソロをとったりと正統派の側面も見せていましたが、しかし彼ならではの魅力がもっとも発揮されるのはやはりバスカーズでのユーモアたっぷりの活動のほうでしょう。(HMV)

CD1 [72’19]
SOAP OPERA
On this record we tried to reproduce the spontaneity and fun of live pavement work.
It was not recorded on a street corner or subway station, as we found that the digital computer and balance console blocked the sidewalk and people kept throwing coins to the producer. Instead it was made in Hornsey Town Hall in North London over two days in late April 1982. There was no audience, but both of the Hall cleaning ladies liked what they heard and asked for a free copy.

THE EXPLOSIVE SOUND OF THE CAMBRIDGE BUSKERS
The Cambridge Buskers, on this record, have also now reached their own particular apotheosis. To illustrate this with a story from that well-known musical anecdotist Ben Trovato: ‘After the Amadeus String Quartet had played at some civic function in Liverpool, the Lord Mayor, a burly ex-docker, made a speech of thanks. “We wish them more and more success,” he said, “so that in time, maybe, Mr Brainin will be able to enlarge his little band.”’ He would have said nothing of the sort about the Cambridge Buskers. They number only 50% of the
Amadeus’ strength but their repertoire already surpasses that of most big symphony orchestras.

NOT LIVE FROM NEW YORK
Since it is not live, your glassware will remain intact… What may get fractured is your funny-bone, tickled by these affectionate caricatures of classical characters. If you find classical music too serious, beware! This recording may be hazardous to your opinions, although the Surgeon General has not determined that humour is harmful to your health.
