Par BIZET GEORGES. As an acclaimed opera composer, Georges Bizet admitted that he had no real sensibility for sacred music. His Te Deum is nonetheless a truly fascinating and highly expressive work. From the majestic ?Te Deum laudamus?, to the skillful choral fugue of ?Fiat misericordia tua?, and the opening's powerful recapitulation, the composition shows no trace of the difficulties that beset the young Bizet by his own admission before he finally completed the work in 1858.In the extensive trilingual preface to this Urtext edition, editor Marc Rigaudière illuminates the circumstances surrounding the composition of the Te Deum, a work which occupies a singular position in Bizet?s ?uvre. The edition is based on the composer?s autograph score ? the work's only surviving source. For the first time, this work is available with all performance parts. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Solistes [ST], SATB et Piano

Petr ?ajkovskij besaß nicht nur französische Wurzeln. Von Kindheit an wuchs er in engem Kontakt zur französischen Kultur auf, die ihn zeitlebens fesseln sollte. Der Komponist hielt sich immer wieder in Paris auf, machte Bekanntschaft mit den Größen des dortigen Musiklebens und träumte davon, eine Oper für die französischen Bühnen zu komponieren. Der Band rekonstruiert neben diesen biographischen Aspekten die französische ?ajkovskij-Rezeption zwischen 1877 und 1900 mit ihren verschiedenen Stationen, Protagonisten und ästhetischen Positionen. Es wird gezeigt, wie die anfänglich begeisterte Aufnahme des Komponisten in den französisch-russischen Salons der 1880er Jahre in eine Ablehnung umschlägt, die das stereotype Bild vom Trivialmusiker ?ajkovskij vorwegnimmt. In ?ajkovskijs Oeuvre hat der Bezug zu Frankreich gleichwohl deutliche Spuren hinterlassen. Dargestellt wird eine ganz Gruppe von Kompositionen, die für französische Interpreten oder Auftraggeber geschaffen wurden. Einen Schlüssel zum Verständnis von ?ajkovskijs Musik bietet auch seine Auseinandersetzung mit französischer Musik von Hector Berlioz über Georges Bizet bis zu Camille Saint-Saëns. Anhand der französischen Musikzitate, die in seinen Werken immer wieder begegnen, kann schließlich ?ajkovskij Umgang mit fremder Musik und die Herausbildung einer hybriden musikalischen Sprache analysiert werden. / Voix

The classic La Paloma Habanera which was the source material for Bizet's Habanera from Carmen. Born on January 20 1809 in Lanciego in the province of Álava. His publisher in Paris urged him to universalize his name from Iradier to Yradier. He is known primarily for his habaneras especially the one titled La Paloma written around 1860 after a visit to Cuba. La Paloma was extremely popular in both Spain and America (especially Mexico) where it was responsible for the great popularity achieved by the habanera. Another of Iradier's compositions is El Arreglito an habanera used by Georges Bizet in his opera Carmen.Bizet thinking it was a folk song took the melody of El Arreglito and created what is known today as the Habanera from Carmen: the song L'amour est un oiseau rebelle

Fair Maid Of Perth-A sweet and delightful version of the Fair Maid Of Perth by Bizet arranged for a chorus of male voices by Idloes Owen.

Standard Version with sung recitatives-Although almost unanimously condemned by contemporary Parisian critics for its overt sexuality and graphic final scene Carmen ultimately reached the public in a way that perhaps no other opera has. Bizet's aim (with Meilhac andHalevy who wrote the libretto) had been to transform the flaccid moralistic bourgeois genre of opéra comique into a more sophisticated type of staged work and he seems to have suceeded in Carmen. Each character has a musicalsignificance and a unique expressive idiom the ultimate example being the dangerous exotic sensual Carmen herself depicted by an exotic and sinewy chromatic motive that also implies the insurmountable power of fate. In aclassic plot device she is contrasted with the 'good girl' of the opera Micaela whose main aria is set in the ternary form of the elevated bel canto French Grand Opera aria to imply her traditionally 'ladylike' retiring nature.Don José's musical styles reflect different levels in his descent from dutiful soldier to the underworld of obsession.This is the Schirmer edition of the Libretto in the original French with an English translation by Ruthand Thomas Martin.
