傅美兒Mei Yi Foo
BBC音樂雜誌2013年度新進藝人大獎的得主傅美兒「奔放」又「炫技的演奏」讓樂評與觀眾驚嘆不已(《時代雜誌》)。她最近在琉森音樂節的首度演出被瑞士德語廣播電視票選為「年度最佳表演」,她也持續在歐洲、美洲與亞洲各地擄獲觀眾的目光。Mei Yi自從在雅典贏得2008年的瑪莉亞卡拉絲國際大賽後,就從「值得關注的鋼琴家」(英國國家廣播公司第三台)蛻變成為「亮眼新星」(《國際鋼琴雜誌》),而樂評家大衛.尼斯最近在「藝術之桌」網站更寫道:「她的天分確實是毋庸置疑的。」
傅美兒曾在眾多音樂廳演出,例如皇家節日大廳、芬蘭廳、威格摩爾廳、雅典音樂廳、維洛納愛樂劇院與嘉禾音樂廳等,她合作過的指揮家包括克利斯汀‧阿閔、洪毅全、馬提亞思‧巴莫特、馬汀‧布拉賓斯、克勞斯‧彼得‧弗洛、弗斯特、卡拉畢茲、彼得‧朗德爾、約翰‧史托加德,以及華倫格林等人。除了與BBC音樂會管弦樂團、布列塔尼交響樂團、沃夫茲堡交響樂團、赫爾辛基愛樂與倫敦室內管弦樂團等聯手演出之外,她與音樂家緊密的合作關係也讓她有機會指揮馬來西亞愛樂與俄羅斯音樂大師等管弦樂團。
熱愛新音樂的傅美兒也參與現代音樂的演出,包括維也納荀貝格中心、倫敦南岸中心公園大道組音樂系列、英國現代音樂節、柏林超聲音樂節與漢堡新工廠音樂節。致力探索現代音樂的她透過與活躍作曲家藤倉大、理查‧貝克、克里斯‧哈曼等人的合作,吸引全球樂壇的關注,她演奏陳銀淑的作品錄製而成的暢銷專輯「音樂玩具」獲得獎項肯定,並登上亞馬遜古典音樂排行榜的第三名,《時代雜誌》、《檢查報》、《新蘇黎世報》與「萊布雷希特每週專輯推薦」網站都寫專文介紹,《BBC音樂雜誌》與德國《古典音樂雜誌》都給予這張專輯五顆星的好評。
傅美兒善於溝通的音樂特質讓她屢獲各大音樂節的邀請,例如維吉尼亞州的卡斯特爾城音樂節、芬蘭的曼塔音樂節、瑞典的非/現代音樂節、賽普勒斯的燈塔藝術基金會、林肯郡國際室內樂音樂節,以及愛德堡布瑞頓─皮爾斯基金會音樂節。她也常與室內樂音樂家合作,包括狄米崔‧阿胥肯納吉、尼可拉‧德崔克、德布林斯基、帕特里夏‧科帕欽斯卡雅、安迪‧西拉拉、雨果‧提西雅提、馬修‧楚斯勒、巴特旭‧沃洛克,以及阿什利‧沃斯。
2013/14樂季,傅美兒到世界各大音樂廳進行首演,包括香港大會堂與伊斯坦堡特雷音樂廳等,並與奧維耶多愛樂以及波茲南愛樂合作。至於2014/15樂季,傅美兒則前往馬德里皇家歌劇院、波多音樂廳、阿爾巴尼亞地拉那鋼琴音樂節首演,並與愛樂管弦樂團以及英國室內管弦樂團等在皇家節日大廳搭檔演出。除了演出之外,傅美兒也在威爾斯皇家音樂戲劇學院擔任教職。最近傅美兒受邀成為皇家音樂學院準會員,並獲得威爾斯克斯德爾學校基金會獎學金。來自馬來西亞的傅美兒由於對藝術及音樂的貢獻卓著,故獲頒馬來西亞的端姑慕力玆效忠獎章。傅美兒目前定居倫敦,她喜愛與朋友登山健行,並領有深潛執照。
Winner of the BBC Best Newcomer of the Year award, Mei Yi Foo dazzled critics and audiences at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2013 with her ‘liberating’ and ‘virtuoso display’ (The Times). Her recent debut at the Lucerne Festival was voted ‘Highlight of the Year’ by SRF and she continues to captivate audiences across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Since winning the Maria Callas Grand Prix’08 in Athens, Mei Yi has transformed from ‘a pianist to watch’ (BBC Radio 3) to a ‘rising star’ (International Piano Magazine), and according to a recent review on The Arts Desk, David Nice writes, ‘her genius is now unquestionable’.
Performing at venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Finlandia Hall, Wigmore Hall, Athens Megaron, Verona Filharmonica and Salle Gaveau, Mei Yi has worked alongside conductors such as Christian Arming, Darrell Ang, Matthias Bamert, Martyn Brabbins, Claus Peter Flor, János Fürst, Kirill Karabits, Peter Rundel, John Storgårds and Christopher Warren-Green. Apart from appearing with the BBC Concert Orchestra, Bretagne Symphony Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony, Helsinki Philharmonic and London Chamber Orchestra, her avid rapport with musicians also brings her to direct orchestras such as the Malaysian Philharmonic and the Russian Virtuosi.
A devoted new music advocate, Mei Yi played at Vienna’s Schoenberg Centre, Park Lane Group at the Southbank, Huddersfield Festival, Ultraschall Festival in Berlin and Das Neue Werk in Hamburg. Her exploration in contemporary music, through working closely with living composers such as Dai Fujikura, Richard Baker, Chris Harman and especially with Unsuk Chin, drew international attention when her award-winning album “Musical Toys” became a rapid hit, reaching No.3 on Amazon’s classical chart and was featured in The Times, The Examiner, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, Lebrecht’s CD of the Week and garnered 5* reviews from the BBC Music Magazine and Germany's Klassik.
Mei Yi’s communicative musicianship often earns her invitations from international festivals, such as the Castletown Festival in Virginia, Mänttä Festival in Finland, Festival O/Modernt in Sweden, the Pharos Arts Foundation in Cyprus, Lincolnshire International Chamber Music Festival and the Britten-Pears in Aldeburgh. She also enjoys working in chamber music partnership with Dimitri Ashkenazy, Nicolas Dautricourt, Shlomy Dobrinsky, Patricia Kopatchinskaya, Antti Siirala, Hugo Ticciati, Matthew Trusler, Bartosz Woroch and Ashley Wass.
