杰森·維奧克斯簡介  

美國吉他演奏家杰森·維奧克斯非常引人注目,他的錄音和演出已使他的名字遠播四方。在NPR早間節目中,特德·利貝評論道:“這是一位年輕的吉他演奏家,我說的‘年輕’,實際上只有25歲。但在十多歲的時候,他就是個頻頻獲獎的演奏者了。他的名字是杰森·維奧克斯。他的演奏非常動人,而技巧方面更可令四座皆惊。他是我所知的最自然的音樂家。”在NPR唱片指南中,利貝推荐了杰森維奧克斯的NAXOS首張專輯:桂冠系列《1992年GFA大賽冠軍專輯》(NAXOS 8553449)作為經典收藏之一,唱片中包括巴利奧斯,沃爾本,默羅爾,梅林,普霍爾,克勞斯,和布斯塔曼特德的作品。

杰森·維奧克斯1999-2000年度的音樂會安排包括超過30場的獨奏、室內樂和協奏的演出,地點包括洛杉磯,圣地亞哥,巴爾的摩,華盛頓特區,克里夫蘭,布法羅,科爾普斯克里斯蒂,小石城,以及佛羅里達的圣彼得斯堡。1999年9月,杰森·維奧克斯与指揮家路易斯·比埃瓦合作,在費城為Astral Artistic Services演奏了胡埃金·羅德里戈的《阿蘭胡埃斯協奏曲》和《紳士幻想曲》。在2000年3月,維奧克斯在波特蘭吉他節進行了演奏,其后便与長笛演奏家加利·肖克爾開始了為期兩周的、名為肖克爾-維奧克斯二重奏的夏威夷巡演。

為了在音樂史上占据一席之地,年僅19歲的維奧克斯于1992年便登上舞台与80位參賽者一較高下,成為著名的美國吉他基金會(GFA)國際大賽歷史上最年輕的冠軍。他是個富有活力的年輕藝術家,更是具備出色天賦的吉他手。他在GFA的冠軍頭銜為他贏來了連續53場美國和法國境內的獨奏巡回演出,以及同Jahja Ling指揮的克里夫蘭管弦樂團合作演奏羅德里戈《阿蘭胡埃斯協奏曲》的机會。從那時起,他的音樂會日程就排得滿滿的,而且美國和海外的几家廣播電台都播放了他的多場演出。

維奧克斯的成功也為他帶來了1997年的第一張唱片合同,這張唱片包括巴赫,龐塞,雷剛蒂,布勞威爾和默羅爾的作品。接下來的第二張唱片便是NAXOS公司1997年發行的桂冠專輯,包括巴利奧斯,默羅爾,M.D.普霍爾,沃爾本,克勞斯,和路易斯·梅林的作品。

1995年,他作為1995年度美國藝術大使,在7個國家進行了巡演,并在當地的美國使館舉辦音樂會,開設大師班,并進行海報交流活動。在這次巡演開始的時候,他還是華盛頓特區廣播節目“美國之音”的特邀佳賓。他亦于1996年在墨西哥奎爾那瓦卡舉辦的國際吉他節上演出。

維奧克斯于1996年贏得了紐約納姆伯格國際吉他比賽的大獎,現任教于克里夫蘭音樂學院吉他系。他也是費城Astral Artistic Services的會員。
