Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven 's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No. 9) which came down to us in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication, Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors, performers and critics alike and has become the most widely used publication of theBeethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls, but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner, David Zinman, Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado.

Par OFFENBACH JACQUES. This is the last of nearly 100 operettas created by French composer Jacques Offenbach, a native of Germany whose works were most prominent in the latter half of the nineteenth century. His three-act drama Les Contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann), which includes a prologue and epilogue, recounts dramatic stories of passion, murder, and revenge. Left incomplete at the composer's death, the operetta debuted in 1881 and remains popular to this day for its many memorable melodies. A masterpiece of French Romanticism, Les Contes d'Hoffmann embodies Offenbach's wish to transcend the limitations of his popular operettas and achieve success among the lofty heights of grand opera. This imaginative score presents an artful blend of fantasy, emotion, and the supernatural as well as elements of satire and the grotesque. Hoffmann, the narrator and protagonist, relates three stories to his drinking companions. The tales concern Olympia, who is revealed as a mechanical doll- Antonia, a gifted vocalist in danger of singing herself to death- and Giulietta, a Venetian courtesan who uses a magic mirror to purloin others' reflections. Reproduced from an authoritative score, this edition offers musicians and music lovers a modestly priced edition of Offenbach's enduring work./ Répertoire / Orchestre

“Eine kleine Nachtmusik” “... written with ease, but skillfully refined” “Eine kleine NachtMusick” is how Mozart entered the Serenade in G major in his personal catalogue of works on 10 August 1787. It was written without any known incentive or commission during the time that Mozart was composing “Don Giovanni”, a time when he was celebrating his greatest success as an opera composer. The work is one of the jewels of Mozart’s output, combining bright radiance and a natural simplicity with brilliant refinement. Similarly, the autograph manuscript of this perfect masterpiece is captivating because of its balanced clarity and beautiful handwriting. The manuscript was inaccessible to the public for almost half a century, but now Bärenreiter has received exclusive permission to produce a new facsimile of Mozart’s original. The edition reproduces the facsimile pages as individual sheets and leaves, reflecting the way the original copy has survived. These pages – in high-quality colour printing, each trimmed individually – are presented in a handsome box. This is accompanied by a booklet with an introductory text by Wolfgang Rehm including information on the genesis of the composition and the various aspects of the autograph manuscript. “The fact that it’s all over town does not alter anything in the quality of this occasional piece written with ease but skillfully refined.” (Wolfgang Hildesheimer) BÄRENREITER FACSIMILE The seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.

Beethoven is presumed to have completed his 5th Symphony in early 1808- today, it is one of the most famous works of classical music of all. Its nickname 'Fate Symphony? was given to it posthumously by Beethoven's biographer Anton Schindler- a title which no longer plays a role in modern-day Beethoven scholarship. Based on the recently published musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and supplied with a new preface by editor Jens Dufner, one of the most vibrant and stimulating orchestral works of the standard repertoire is now available in a practical format for travel, study or the concert hall. / Conducteur De Poche

Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Lorsque l'on m'a demandé d'écrire une ouverture pour la série 'Roulement de timbales', j'ai immédiatement eu à l'esprit quelque chose de vaste et puissant. J'ai alors pensé à la récente découverte de Laniakea, ce superamas de galaxies comptant parmi les plus grandes structures de l'Univers. Découvert en 2014 par Hélène Courtois (1), Laniakea signifie 'paradis céleste incommensurable' en hawaïen. A l'intérieur de ce superamas, les galaxies sont en mouvement et convergent vers un même point appelé le Grand Attracteur. Il faut imaginer des courants de galaxies dont toute la matière se déverse au même endroit - comme au coeur d'une vallée - à une vitesse folle de 630 km/s. Immensité, mouvement, vitesse, lumière... ont été les mots qui m'ont guidée en composant. Ce scénario d'un horizon céleste si grand est une source d'inspiration foisonnante de couleurs pour mon imaginaire d'orchestratrice ! J'ai donc eu l'envie de trouver des résonances musicales à ce monde fascinant de l'infiniment grand. Comme la Symphonie n°103 de Haydn, Laniakea s'ouvre sur un roulement de timbales. Il reviendra durant la pièce sous différents formes : parfois 'à nu', parfois en fond sonore ou encore en relais avec la grosse caisse. Laniakea se présente comme une fresque cosmique articulée en trois épisodes précédés d'une introduction et achevés par une coda. Puissante et majestueuse, l'introduction présente un thème aux cuivres et aux cloches sur un roulement de timbales. Les cordes constituent un 'mur du son' résonnant et vibrant. La matière se transforme progressivement. Les bois se fondent dans les cordes et deviennent liquides. Le thème de cuivres se déployant sur cette texture miroitante devient de plus en plus doux, finit par se dissoudre et laisse place à la lumière. La première grande partie commence par un motif de hautbois, glockenspiel et harmoniques de cordes aiguës : autant de particules lumineuses tentant de percer dans ce ciel immense. Le vibraphone et les bois créent une nappe réverbérante et contribuent à donner à ce passage une couleur céleste et scintillante. La texture devient plus rythmique avec la naissance d'un motif tournoyant et répétitif aux altos. Dans cet épisode hypnotique, le thème de l'introduction est rappelé aux cloches et aux cors. Il s'intensifie. La matière se répand. Glockenspiel et harmoniques - touches lumineuses - sont nimbés de vent stellaire avec le roulement de cymbale suspendue. Un thème plus lyrique et envoûtant apparaît aux violoncelles. Il sera présenté avec différentes couleurs en passant aux violons puis aux altos. L'apparition du glissando mib-ré aux trombones est un signal : nous passons progressivement dans la seconde partie. Le motif rythmique s'éteint et la matière devient de plus en plus nébuleuse. Dans cette partie plus sombre, ce demi-ton est omniprésent : glissé aux cors, en harmoniques chez les cordes, plaintif chez les bois. Ici, j'ai voulu exprimer le mystère de ce Grand Attracteur, de ce glissement vertigineux de matière happée par le vide. Les amas en apesanteur deviennent de plus en plus épais et s'enrichissent. La matière finit par gronder et donne naissance à un passage flottant, brumeux et plus lyrique. Une quinte grave et mystérieuse aux trombones annonce la fin de cette partie. Les trompettes nous rappellent le thème de cuivres de l'introduction. A leurs impulsions correspondent des échos dans les bois - comme la queue d'une étoile filante qui brille encore après son passage. Le dernier épisode est une danse cosmique lumineuse et festive, teintée de couleurs célestes. J'ai imaginé un ballet hypnotique de nuées d'étoiles nimbées de poussière stellaire. Pour créer ce halo lumineux, j'ai animé les fonds par des croches répétées en guise de tenues et de légers soufflets pour leur donner de la vie. En composant, j'ai également eu à l'esprit certaines textures des jeux d'orgue. Cette danse est basée sur un motif rythmique en boucle qui voyage entre les groupes : un ballet étourdissant et hypnotique d'étoiles se déplaçant à des vitesses hallucinantes. Il aboutit à un premier climax lyrique et flamboyant. Un dernier pas de deux d'étoiles se poursuit et exulte en s'embrasant dans un grand crescendo de lumière. Un roulement de timbales soudain nous ramène à l'immensité et la puissance initiales. Cette grande coda nous rappelle que Laniakea est un horizon céleste immense que nous ne pouvons appréhender. Au loin, la lumière s'éteint progressivement. La matière se désagrège et finit par se perdre dans l'espace. Camille Pepin / Date parution : 2020-08-21/ Répertoire / Orchestre
