Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus La clemenza di Tito K. 621 Facsimile of Mozart's autograph score The Seven Great Operas in Facsimile Editions of Mozart?s Autograph Scores ?Idomeneo?, ?Die Entführung aus dem Serail?, ?Le nozze di Figaro?, ?Don Giovanni?, ? Così fan tutte ?, ?Die Zauberflöte ?, ?La clemenza di Tito? ? Mozart?s seven great operas, his brilliant contribution to music theatre and world culture, are unequalled in their depth of human characterisation and musical expression. Through happy coincidence, all seven opera scores have survived almost complete in Mozart?s manuscript. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI, Los Altos , California ) has now embarked on producing a facsimile edition of the seven autograph scores. Mozart scholars, libraries and of course all lovers of Mozart?s stage works now have the opportunity of acquiring these priceless manuscripts in flawless reproductions. At the same time, all risks about preserving Mozart?s legacy for the world of music are taken care of. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) charitable foundation, known for its philanthropic programmes in the arts and sciences, has forged an ideal cooperation for the Mozart project. Under the scholarly direction of an editorial board (Ulrich Konrad , David Packard, Wolfgang Rehm , Christoph Wolff; General editor Dietrich Berke) the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg and the libraries where Mozart?s manuscripts are held are working together with the Packard Humanities Institute. The production of the volumes is exquisite, for the digitalization of the manuscripts has been undertaken using the latest technology, which allows for an astounding level of authenticity and precision in detail. The printing follows the uncompromisingly high standards demanded by the edition. All seven volumes include essays on the history of literature and ideas by Hendrik Birus , Hans Joachim Kreutzer and Robert Miller as well as musicological introductions by leading Mozart scholars in German and English. The facsimile edition will be distributed by Bärenreiter- Verlag . - consolidation of Mozart manuscripts held in different places - highest level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour through use of the latest technology - unique offer thanks to project sponsorship by the Packard Humanities Institute (Los Altos, California) Precision in reproduction thanks to cutting edge technology In preparing the manuscripts for reproduction, equipment was used in line with the highest technical standards currently available. Mozart?s original manuscripts of the seven operas are held by several libraries. For five of the operas, the different acts have even ended up in different libraries following World War II. Thus, the autograph of Act I of ? Così fan tutte ? is in the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków and the second act in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ? Preußischer Kulturbesitz . In order to achieve a uniformly high level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour both within a work and for all seven editions, the use of the same technical equipment in all the different places was a prerequisite. Specialist from the Salzburg firm ? Kirchberger Photography? were employed, were provided with the latest equipment by the Packard Humanities Institute and also given special additional training in the modern technology by specialists in the USA. Proofs of each edition were compared with the original in each location and improved until the likeness could not be bettered in all details. Mozart?s music and text notation is reproduced extremely clearly, and even those places where Mozart corrected or had rubbed out marks he had already made, appear in these editions in a previously unmatched transparency.

Ouvertüre. Autograph: Biblioteka Jagiellonska Kraków. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. An enchanted night, virtually fragrant dreams, floating fairies & the sensory associations evoked and fashioned by the music of Mendelssohn's overture ; A Midsummer Night's Dream are almost inexhaustible. Written by the composer in 1826 in a carefree summer spent between the summerhouse and his siblings, this is without doubt Mendelssohn's most popular concert overture. The renowned musicologist Friedhelm Krummacher shows in the introduction how finely Mendelssohn interwove motifs and themes. He also looks into the origins of the work, especially a conjectural firstsketch, which is reproduced in facsimile in the appendix. To mark the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth, Bärenreiter in cooperation with the Biblioteka Jagiellonska Krakó w published a high-quality facsimile designed for the bibliophile, vividly bringing the composer's delicate handwriting to life./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Mon Concerto pour orchestre (2007) est une oeuvre de vingt minutes dans laquelle les différentes sections de l'orchestre, ainsi que différents solos et duos du sein de l'orchestre, sont mis en évidence que la musique se déploie. Le travail continue mon intérêt pour les formes à deux mouvement qui a commencé avec mon Concerto pour violoncelle (1991), et plus tard a été développé dans Sortilège (1996) et la Symphonie (Broken Consort) (2004). Dans ces oeuvres, et dans le Concerto pour orchestre, chaque mouvement est le même poids et de l'importance avec le second développement de matériel plus tôt et prendre de nouvelles directions.La forme en deux mouvements du Concerto pour orchestre vient d'une structure symphonique sonate, remodeler la forme en quatre mouvements traditionnels et en combinant cela avec les aspects de la forme sonate, une tradition qui remonte à Liszt, Schoenberg et Sibelius:1er mouvement (i) l'exposition d'idées - dramatique et soudaine (ii) scherzo et développement 1 - résolue2ème mouvement (iii) adagio - calme et tranquille (iv) le développement 2 avec récapitulation - intense et énergiqueLe Concerto pour orchestre a été commandée par le Musikalische Akademie des Nationaltheatre-Orchesters Mannheim avec le soutien de Die Landesbank Baden-Württemberg pour ses deux premières représentations le 31 Mars et 1er Avril 2008 réalisée par Friedemann Layer.

Eine verzauberte Nacht, nahezu duftende Traumbilder, schwebende Elfen ? schier unerschöpflich sind die sinnlichen Assoziationen, die die Musik von Mendelssohns Ouvertüre Ein Sommernachtstraum wachruft und plastisch gestaltet, ohne in einer allzu plakativen Illustration aufzugehen. Vom Komponisten 1826 in einem unbeschwerten Sommer zwischen Gartenhaus und Geschwistern geschrieben, handelt es sich zweifellos um die populärste der Konzertouvertüren Mendelssohns.

Der renommierte Musikwissenschaftler Friedhelm Krummacher zeigt in der Einleitung, wie fein Mendelssohn die Motive und Themen miteinander verwoben hat. Er geht außerdem der Entstehung des Werkes nach, insbesondere einem mutmaßlichen ersten Entwurf, der als Faksimile im Anhang wiedergegeben ist.

Zu Mendelssohns 200. Geburtstag (2009) legt der Bärenreiter-Verlag in Zusammenarbeit mit der Biblioteka Jagiello ska Kraków dieses hochwertige Faksimile in bibliophiler Ausstattung vor, das in anschaulicher Weise die feingliedrige Handschrift des Komponisten präsentiert.

?Das ist nicht nur ein Augenschmaus, sondern verrät darüber hinaus auch viel über die Entstehungsgeschichte des Weks , das uns auch heute noch ? und nicht nur in lauen Sommernächten ? so viel Freude bereitet.?

Liederzyklus Nach Brieftexten V. W.A. Mozart Für Bariton und Orchester. Par SCHMIDINGER HELMUT. Der Komponist und Musikus Mozart scheint mir als Bezugspunkt im 21. Jahrhundert und besonders im Mozartjahr 2006 doch sehr „ausgebeutet“. So habe ich mich nach der Lektüre sämtlicher seiner Briefe entschlossen, den unter Komponisten bisher weitgehend unbeachteten Briefeschreiber Mozart, der mehr als die viel zitierten „Bäsle-Briefe“ verfasst hat, als Textquelle für einen Liederzyklus zu verwenden. Die von mir im Dialog mit Wolfgang Holzmair getroffene Auswahl der Briefe ist nicht/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. 'I can?t remember when another work made a more lively, beautiful impression on me? ? this is what a very enthusiastic Felix Mendelssohn wrote to Niels Gade in January 1843. On March 2nd he premiered Gade?s C minor Symphony at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. On 26 October of the same year the 26 year old Danish composer conducted the second performance himself and in the following year he was engaged as co-conducter of the Gewandhaus concerts. His first symphony, however, was to remain Gade?s greatest success: unique are its colourful instrumentation, atmospheric melodies and the characteristic sound world which we know as Nordic. This volume presents Gade?s opus 5 as volume I.1 of the Complete Edition ?Niels W. Gade / Works?, edited by Finn Egeland Hansen. The volume also contains a preface by Inger Sørensen as well as a separate discussion of the musicological reception of this central work. / Date parution : 2022-03-05/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Music Of Our Time. Par SCHNEBEL DIETER. In this work Schnebel attempts to apply the idea of the Baroque canon - as exemplified in Bach’s ‘Art of Fugue’ - to modern concepts of tonal colouring. The ‘Motu proprio’ of the 7 mixed groups of orchestral instruments intensifies within 28 short emotional sections to the Baroque ‘Motu contrario’. In ‘Diapason’, literally translated ‘in the octave’ but in the ancient Greek music tradition taken to mean ‘through or across everything’ among other things, the orchestra is arranged into 13 groups according to families of instruments and tonal colour. Schnebel alternately uses the term ‘fugue’ in the strict sense of the Baroque period and in its more general, purely architectonic meaning./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Missa in C minor K. 427 Great Mass in C minor Mozart?s magnificent unfinished ?Great Mass in C minor K. 427? is impressive not only for its monumentality and musical beauty but for its fragmentary state which has fascinated scholars and performers for decades. Working together with the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Barenreiter now presents a new edition of this work, reflecting the cutting edge of scholarship while doing justice to the needs of performers. High scholarly standards, the completion and reconstruction of movements: this pioneering publication incorporates all this in order to come as close as possible to the work itself: - The ?Kyrie? and ?Gloria?, both of which survive complete in Mozart?s hand, are edited in accordance with scholarly standards. - The first two sections of the ?Credo? have been meticulously completed by the editor Ulrich Leisinger, drawing on original Mozart compositions e.g. the aria ?Deh vieni non tardar? from ?The Marriage of Figaro? and paying attention to a stylistically appropriate and transparent sound. - The ?Sanctus? and ?Benedictus? (with the ?Hosanna?), which are either incomplete or survive only in secondary sources, have been reconstructed by the editor. Sections without any known sources are left out in this edition. Rounding off the publication are an extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng) and a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng). The first performance of Ulrich Leisinger?s new edition was given in April 2019 in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg by the Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and the ChorWerk Ruhr under the baton of Kent Nagano. The first Austrian premiere took place in Salzburg on August 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum, with Andrew Manze conducting the Salzburg Camerata to rousing applause from audience and critics alike.
