Giacomo Puccini was one of the all time great opera composers andis especially famed for his wonderful, warm-blooded melodies, hiscolourful instrumentations, his compelling dramatics, his musicalfantasy and his power to reflect exotic ambiences in sounds. ForPuccini Highlights, Wil van der Beek has made use of musical materialfrom the tenor aria ‘E lucevan le stelle’ (Tosca), the choral aria ‘Girala cote’ (Turandot) and the soprano aria ‘Un bel di vedremo’ (MadamButterfly). An operatic masterpiece that will go down a storm at anyconcert.

Puccini wordt geroemd om zijn warmbloedige melodieën, kleurrijke instrumentaties, meeslepende dramatiek en muzikale fantasie. Opvallend veel Puccini-aria’s zijn buiten hun eigenlijke context aantrekkelijk gebleken voor de concertpraktijk.Voor Puccini Highlights heeft Wil van der Beek gebruik gemaakt van muzikaal materiaal uit de tenoraria ‘E lucevan le stelle’ (Tosca), de kooraria ‘Gira la cote’ (Turandot) en de sopraanaria ‘Un bel divedremo’ (Madama Butterfly).

Puccini war zweifellos einer der erfolgreichsten italienischen Opernkomponisten aller Zeiten. Viele seiner Arien haben sich auch als beliebte Konzertstücke außerhalb ihres eigentlichen Kontexts bewährt. Für Puccini Highlights verwendete Wil van der Beek musikalisches Material aus der Tenorarie E Lucevan le Stelle aus Tosca, der Chorarie Gira la Cote aus Turandot sowie der Sopranarie Un Bel di Vedremo aus Madama Butterfly.

Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) est, après Verdi, l’un des plus grands représentants de l’opéra italien. Il reste célèbre pour les teintes sublimes de ses mélodies chaleureuses, ses orchestrations colorées, ses drames envo tants, sa créativité musicale et son incroyable capacité délivrer des ambiances exotiques travers des textures sonores.Parmi les classiques des opéras pucciniens, on peut citer Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Tosca, Madame Butterfly et Turandot. Il est également frappant de constater que de nombreux airs de Puccini, même sortis de leur contexte d’origine, sont parfaitement adaptés une interprétation en concert.Pour réaliser cet arrangement, Wil van derBeek a puisé dans le tissu musical de l’air pour ténor E lucevan le stelle (Tosca), dans le chœur d’opéra Gira la cote! Gira! (Turandot) et dans l’air pour soprano Un bel di vedremo (Madame Butterfly).
