详细介绍
古典辣妹(BOND)是一支另类女子乐队,这支古典弦乐演奏组合(两把小提琴、一把中提琴和一把大提琴)由四个光彩照人又才华横溢的女孩子组成,包括:海莉、伊奥、塔利亚和有一半广东人血统的叶嘉,她们将古典音乐与电子音乐相结合。她们强调自己是古典演奏家,演奏的宗旨是为了打破音乐界限,将古典音乐的精粹与世界各地的声音和节奏互相结合,实现音乐的大同,把不被大多数人涉足的古典音乐展现出全新的概念。
这支被称为“拉提琴的霹雳娇娃”、“古典音乐界的辣妹”的古典弦乐演奏组合个个成员都来自正统的音乐学院,队中的第一小提琴手海莉毕业于英国乔凯音乐戏剧学院;与莫扎特同一生日的第二小提琴手伊奥毕业于英国皇家音乐学院;24岁的中提琴手塔利亚来自澳大利亚,拥有悉尼音乐学院的一级学士学位;年龄最大的大提琴手叶嘉是个具有中国血统的混血儿,曾经就读于伦敦圣三一音乐学院。
2001年Born发行了首张专辑《Born(诞生)》以强烈的节奏感取胜,洋溢节庆般的欢愉气氛,令人怦然心动。曲风结合了Trance、House、Latin、Salsa以及古典音乐!!
Polarizing critics since their 2000 inception, Bond have continued to perfect their fusion of pop, worldbeat, and classical instrumentation. Eos Chater (violin), Haylie Ecker (violin), Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello), and Tania Davis (viola) were well-educated musically, having played their specific instruments since early childhood and accompanied acts like the Divine Comedy, Primal Scream, Embrace, and Mark Knopfler. But the quartet couldn't find a happy medium. They raised the classical world's ire with their short skirts and eletronic programming, but Bond wasn't purely pop or dance either, alienating them on most sides. Born appeared Decca in early 2001, and showcased salsa, house, and European folk textures over modified classical melodies. The following year's Shine was a hit on the classical crossover charts, a place inhabited by similarly accessible artists like Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman. A 2003 remix album was Bond's admission that they wouldn't go quietly, content in their slick, shiny approach to classical, pop, and dance music. They toured Europe and Asia throughout that year, and appeared a series of cross-promotional ads for the US department store chain Marshall Field's. The Classified LP followed in 2004, and 2005's Explosive was a greatest hits set that included unreleased tracks and bonus video content.
