E文巨臭，看到一篇介绍钢琴家卡琴生平的短文，其中de force不知何解，特请教各位大侠(This tour de force caught the attention of nearly every concert presenter in Europe .)。全文不长，一并附上：
Julius Katchen Biography
Born: 15 August, 1926 Long Branch, New Jersey USA
Died: 29 April, 1969
Pianist
When an artist dies at a young age, it is often difficult to fairly assess his or her long-term potential. Usually writers will point to the promise unfulfilled or the developing talent just beginning to blossom. Sad though it is that Julius Katchen died just short of his 43rd birthday, he has left a tremendous recorded legacy of an artist in his greatest prime.
His was a remarkable career from the start. A child prodigy who played with both the Philadelphia and New York orchestras before he was thirteen, he wisely decided to retire from the concert stage until he finished his scholastic studies. He completed his musical education in Paris and his second debut was nothing less than a series of seven concerts in eleven days.
This tour de force caught the attention of nearly every concert presenter in Europe and led to his Decca recording contract. Katchen held the distinction of making the first LP recording issued by a British company (Brahms F minor Sonata). His career was formidable from that moment on.
Katchen&#39s interests were wide-ranging, both in music and philosophy. He was equally adept at the German classics, Gershwin (a proud specialty) and Slavonic music.
Towards the end of his life, Katchen was playing and recording the complete piano music of Brahms and this body of recorded work remains his greatest single achievement. He died in his adopted Paris in the spring of 1969.

Tour de Force means "a feat of strength" or to do something 100% with all your heart.

这是个法语词，在大型的英文词典中也可查到。中文有时译作“代表作”。

谢谢释疑！猜想是个外来语，但手头的词典不够用，只有借用网友的大脑了。呵呵。
最近收了一张Decca出品，卡琴、苏克、斯塔克合作演奏的勃拉姆斯钢琴三重奏，觉得很有味道，比Philips的有味道。
上文中提到的卡琴演奏的勃拉姆斯钢琴独奏全集有谁听过？Decca有一套6张的环保装，有货拿哦！

试着译成中文，可能有不对的地方，希望拍砖！
E文本来就没学好，又丢了十几年，没想到在爱乐时派点用场。
朱利思.卡琴生平
   朱利思.卡琴，钢琴家，1926年8月15日生于美国新泽西州长支市（？），卒于1969年4月29日。    
   如果一个艺术家过早的夭折，人们通常很难对他（她）们的发展前景作出公正的预测，一般只是指出他们尚未展现的潜质或者正在显露的才华。虽然朱利思.卡琴不到43岁生日就不幸故去，却在盛年留下了一个艺术家丰厚的录音遗产。
   作为一个神童，他的职业生涯始于显赫，13岁前就与费城和纽约两大管弦乐团合作，但他明智地引退舞台，直至完成学业。在巴黎完成音乐教育后，二度出山的首演就在11天内连演了7场音乐会。
   这次连台好戏引起了几乎所有欧洲音乐会星探的注意，导致了他与Decca公司签约录音。卡琴拥有LP唱片录音第一人的美誉，这张唱片是由一家英国公司发行的勃拉姆斯F小调奏鸣曲。从此，他开始了令人生畏的职业生涯。
   卡琴在音乐和哲学领域里兴趣广泛。在德国古典音乐、格什温（一个令人骄傲的特长）及斯拉夫音乐上各有擅长。
   在生命的最后几年，卡琴演录了勃拉姆斯全部的钢琴作品。这批录音造就了他艺术成就的一个丰碑。1969年春天，卡琴在赴巴黎途中死亡。
