Opera in three acts. ?Giulio Cesare in Egitto? is by far Handel?s most frequently performed opera owing its success not least to its subject matter, one of the best known love stories in world history. Already during Handel?s lifetime the popular work was often staged and therefore adapted by Handel for each of the performance conditions. The editor Hans Dieter Clausen has succeeded in editorially defining and practically presenting these adaptations ? essentially four versions ? on the basis of a meticulous study of the sources within the framework of the ?Halle Handel Edition?. The new edition allows for a performance of each of the four versions. The version of 1725 is particularly noteworthy because Handel newly devised the role of Sesto for the famous tenor Francesco Borosini. The libretto shows the Roman dictator Cesar in a friendly light. He instructs his enemy, the Egyptian tyrant Tolomeo, how to treat adversaries: he reconciles the widow and son of his enemy Pompeo who was murdered by Tolomeo: he is generous and just, hands on, but also diplomatic, thoughtful, aware of the limits of his power, and susceptible for art and nature. However, the actual protagonist of the opera is Cleopatra. In a masterly way Handel develops her character musically. In his extensive Foreword Hans Dieter Clausen not only decribes the genesis, historical background, reception and the edition of the opera, he also examines the musical and dramaturgical reworking of individual numbers in ?Giulio Cesare?. Handel was such an expert in adapting arias for new purposes and other characters that he did not only meet the needs at hand but often the new version surpassed the original. In this way, the reader gains, in passing, a well-founded insight into Handel?s work methods when designing and redevising his characters. The detailed Critical Commentary includes information on the comprehensive and highly complex source situation as well as on individual editorial decisions.

Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Handel Song for St Cecilia´s Day (HWV 76) (Vocal Score) Following ?Alexander?s Feast? (1736), in 1739 Handel produced a second setting of the ?Ode to St Cecilia? (?Song for St Cecilia?s Day?). At its première it was combined with ?Alexander?s Feast?. Rather than a dramatic plot presentable in the theatre, the Ode, in its seven sections, offers a general hymn of praise to music and its impact. Accordingly, it largely consists of emotion-laden arias and festive orchestration. This edition, based on the Urtext from the ?Halle Handel Edition?, offers the version heard at the first performance ? the version preferred in today?s concert life. The foreword (Ger/Eng) provides many detailed notes on performance practice with regard to orchestration. - Urtext from the ?Halle Handel Edition? - Detailed notes on performance practice in the text section (Ger/Eng) - Straightforward piano reduction - Full Score (BA10722), vocal score (BA10722-90) and parts (BA10722) available for sale / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Solistes, SATB et Orchestre

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

L'édition complète Richard Wagner présente toute la production du compositeur pour la première fois sous une forme fiable. Le chef d'orchestre Michael Balling, dans les premières années du 20ème siècle, a tenté de faire l'oeuvre de Wagner plus accessible pour la recherche et de la performance, mais la seule édition a atteint 10 volumes - certains avec de graves lacunes - et a été abandonnée après la mort de Balling 1925. Une autre tentative à une édition complète par Otto Strobel a été abandonné à des stades préliminaires.Cette troisième tentative à une édition complète sera le premier scientifique, édition critique, fondée sur une évaluation de toutes les matières de source accessibles et les dernières découvertes de la recherche Wagner grave. Comme l'édition est également destiné à la performance pratique, le texte musical a été maintenu libre d'insertions philologiques- ceux-ci sont énumérées dans les annexes de chaque volume dans le commentaire critique. De nombreux inédits, des oeuvres en partie - certains relativement inconnus - versions et variantes sont publiés ici pour la première fois. L'édition présente des textes authentiques pour les spécialistes de Wagner et des chercheurs et critique des matériaux à base de la scène. Contrairement à l'opinion largement répandue, même les oeuvres bien connues de Wagner ne sont pas nécessairement disponibles dans les éditions fiables. La genèse, l'histoire et les performances réalisés par Wagner lui-même sont largement documentés de façon à présenter une image aussi complète que possible des intentions de la composition de Wagner. / Soliste, Choeur Et Orchestre
