蕭斯塔科維契：
小提琴奏鳴曲
第二號鋼琴三重奏
五首雙小提琴與鋼琴小品
第三號絃樂四重奏
辛辣諷刺的音調，究竟是天真童趣、抑或對史達林的諷刺，蕭斯塔科維契其人其樂似乎永遠是個謎。呼應音列潮流的小提琴奏鳴曲，小提琴有如小心翼翼地行走在眾目睽睽地監視下。第二號鋼琴三重奏開頭的大提琴泛音，走鋼索般的艱險卻無限甜美。五首雙小提琴與鋼琴，誌記著作曲家為了服務群眾所承擔的電影配樂任務，古典式的輕盈無邪，是真的歌舞昇平抑或對現實的逃避？就如第三號弦樂四重奏發表時，蕭氏親自加上的標題，由「對未來災難的冷靜無知」到「永恆的提問：為什麼？為了什麼？」。藉由這些室內樂作品，蕭氏質問著時代，也質問著自己。

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH:
Violin Sonata, Op.134, G major
Piano Trio No.2, Op.67, E minor
5 Pieces for 2 Violins and Piano
String Quartet No.3, Op.73, F major
Is that child-like innocence or sarcasm towards Stalin behind these ironic, satirical tunes? Shostakovich’s music remains a mystery for us to understand. In his violin sonata, echoing trends of serialism, the violin takes a meticulous walk under watchful surveillance. The cello overtones at the beginning of the second Piano Trio is a bold tightrope walk but utterly luscious nonetheless. The 5 Pieces for 2 Violins and Piano marks the task of Shostakovich’s public obligation in writing film music - is the light and pure classical style a jubilation for true peace or a momentary escape from reality? Just as the movement titles Shostakovich added in String Quartet No. 3 for its premiere: from the first movement ‘Blithe ignorance of the future cataclysm’ to the last ‘The eternal question: Why? And for what? ’, by these chamber pieces, Shostakovich questioned the era as well as himself.
