< Daishin Kashimoto Violin Recital >

因之前過一場某知名的國外樂團來台演奏，不是很好，就對樂團的演奏不具信心，也不感興趣，當然誰是該團的首席就不會去留意。到現在，我還是覺得聽樂團，最保險的方法還是聽CD或黑膠，呵。而獨奏是最能聽到演奏者的實力及所詮釋的情感。當然，唯有堅強實力者，才能在現場獨奏上引起音饕的共鳴與肯定。

由於一直期待聽到小提琴獨奏，終於在年末尾聲前參加了這一場。且也終於在今天第一次很清楚地知道樫本大進的實力 ~呵。

穿過中正紀念堂廣場，邊走邊欣賞夜空之際，突然見一群人匆跑上音樂聽階梯準備入場，原以為是什麼旅遊團體，後來才知是一大群音樂系國高中生、愛音樂的學生。當下還心疑，樫本大進是有那麼強嗎? 哈 ~ 哈 ~

曲目的關係，上半場的作品，雖不至於打苛睡，但也讓人覺得沒有什麼起伏。下半場，讓我整個驚豔到一個不行 ~ 閉著眼聽每一個音符，真是一大享受，很細緻又有他內斂的個性，力度的展現及尾音很漂亮。36歲的年齡，生活也有一定的歷練、論技巧、對曲目的理解與詮釋都將步入另一個層面，如果體力維持得當，演奏時就能呈現出最佳狀態。當晚的樫本大進果真強，不愧是愛樂的首席小提琴手。

他的鋼琴搭檔，來自義大利的巴克斯也蠻棒的，很精彩，天衣無縫 ~唯有在同一高度、同一層次才能乘上加乘 ~ 話說，我真的第一次聽到義大利的鋼琴手那麼會彈 ~ 呵。

回應觀眾熱切掌聲的方法，非安可曲莫屬，三首，過癮 ~。

日本籍小提琴家樫本大進出生於倫敦，當他三歲的時候，父母親給他一堆玩具樂器選擇，有鋼琴、豎笛、長笛等等……，樫本最喜歡的是小提琴，因為這樣他手上就可以同時有兩個「不一樣」的樂器：小提琴與弓。

三歲在東京開始學習小提琴；七歲移居紐約，以最年輕學生的身份進入茱莉亞音樂學院的預備學校就讀，師從小提琴教母迪蕾（Dorothy Delay）門下，並獲得愛德華．約翰．諾貝爾基金獎學金。之後樫本大進移居德國，分別於呂北克音樂學院跟隨布朗（Zakhar Bron）學琴，以及於弗萊堡國立音樂學院跟隨前柏林愛樂管弦樂團首席庫斯摩爾（Rainer Kussmaul）學習。

When he was three years old, his parents gave him an array of toy instruments: piano, clarinet, flute etc. But the one Daishin Kashimoto liked best was the violin, because it gave him two different "toys" - violin and bow - to use at the same time.
