Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia was premiered at Milan's Teatro alla Scala on 26 December 1833 and is considered one of the composer's most important and innovative operas of the 1830s. Although, because of censorship issues, particularly in the south of Italy, it was initially slow to become popular, by the late 1830s it had become one of the composer's most popular operas, both in Italy and abroad, and remained an essential part of the composer's oeuvre until at least the end of the nineteenth century. Remarkable for its daring subject matter (with an unconventional, forceful heroine), it is also renowned for its challenging mixture of the comic and the tragic, something very unusual at the time and clearly an important influence on Giuseppe Verdi's middle period masterpieces. The present reduction for voice and piano derives from the critical edition of the score, recently published in this catalog: is based on Donizetti's autograph manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives in Milan), on the libretto for the premiere, on several printed editions of voice and piano, and on numerous additional scores of the period. It presents for the first time all the numerous additions that the composer made to the score over the course of ten years: a fascinating record of his changing music dramatic attitudes during this period. There is also a synthetic historical reconstruction of the genesis of the opera and of the description of the Sources as well as a selection of most interest to singers of Critical Commentary Notes.

Rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro alla Scala il 26 dicembre 1833, Lucrezia Borgia e considerata una fra le piu importanti e innovative opere di Donizetti. Sebbene le resistenze della censura, soprattutto nel sud Italia, ne causarono inizialmente una lenta diffusione, dalla fine degli anni '30 dell'Ottocento essa divenne uno dei lavori piu popolari e significativi del compositore e tale rimase fino alla fine del XIX secolo. Notevole per il suo audace soggetto (con un'eroina non convenzionale e dalla forte personalita) essa e rinomata anche per l'impegnativa commistione di comico e tragico, un tratto piuttosto inusuale per l'epoca, che ebbe una chiara influenza sui capolavori verdiani di meta secolo. La presente riduzione per canto e pianoforte e condotta sull'edizione critica della partitura, da poco pubblicata in questo stesso catalogo: si basa sul manoscritto autografo di Donizetti (conservato presso l'Archivio Storico Ricordi di Milano), sul libretto della prima rappresentazione, su alcune riduzioni a stampa per canto e pianoforte e su varie altre fonti dell'epoca. L'edizione presenta per la prima volta tutte le aggiunte che il compositore apporto alla partitura nel corso di dieci anni, costituendo un'affascinante testimonianza dei mutevoli approcci di Donizetti alla materia drammatico musicale durante questa fase della sua carriera. Il volume comprende una sintesi della ricostruzione della genesi storica dell'opera e della descrizione delle fonti e una selezione di Note del Commento Critico fra quelle piu funzionali alle esigenze di cantanti e pianisti accompagnatori.

The special landscape in the Valley of Flowers national park in the Himalayas is distinguished by its brilliant colours and the variety of its _x001D_flora and fauna. Marc Cunningham was deeply in_x001D_fluenced by the temple dances of this region. The theme behind these dances, which were originally religious performances and for which the dancers dress in colourful garb, is the tension between good and evil. In Himalayan Dances - Valley of Flowers, various aspects of this ancient dance form are brought into the spotlight.

Marc Cunningham haalde voor deze compositie voor jeugdorkest zijn inspiratie uit het natuurreservaat “Valley of Flowers” in het Himalaya gebied. De kleurenpracht van de fauna en _x001E_flora en de indrukwekkende lokale, oorspronkelijk religieus getinte dansen waren aanleiding tot het componeren van dit inspirerende en contrastrijke werk.

Diese besondere Landschaft im Nationalpark Valley of Flowers im Himalaya zeichnet sich durch ihre Farbenpracht und Vielfalt in Flora und Fauna aus. Marc Cunningham war von den Tempeltänzen dieser Region tief beeindruckt. Thema dieser ursprünglich religiösen Tänze, bei denen sich die Tänzer bunt verkleiden, ist das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Gut und Böse. In Himalayan Dances - Valley of Flowers werden verschiedene Aspekte dieser alten Tanzkunst ins Rampenlicht gerückt.

Les danses himalayennes ont profondément impressionné le compositeur Marc Cunningham. Les danseurs sont parés de costumes chatoyants et portent des masques colorés. Le fil conducteur de cet art populaire est la distinction entre le bien et le mal. Les minuscules mouvements des yeux, les gestes précis de la main et les expressions faciales jouent un rôle d’interprétation important. Dans l’oeuvre Himalayan Dances, divers aspects de cette danse folklorique sont mis en évidence. Haute en couleurs_x001E_!

Le danze della regione dell’Himalaya che hanno profondamente impressionato il compositore Marc Cunningham, traggono ispirazione dalla religione indù, ma non sono più praticate. Esiste però una versione più attuale nella quale le danzatrici, che spesso indossano costumi sgargianti e maschere colorate, si esibiscono in balli spettacolari. Il _x001E_filo conduttore di quest’arte popolare è la distinzione tra il bene e il male. I minuscoli movimenti degli occhi, le gesta precise della mano e le espressioni del viso rivestono un ruolo importante nell’interpretazione. Himalayan Dances evidenzia diversi aspetti folcloristici di questa affascinante cultura.
