Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Le chorégraphe Angelin Preljocaj s'inspire du thème fondateur de Siddharta pour la nouvelle création qu'il offre au Ballet de l'Opéra. Il revisite l'histoire de celui qui deviendra l'Eveillé, ou Bouddha, pour en donner une lecture personnelle explorant les thèmes du dépassement, de l'épreuve et du sacrifice dans la quête d'un absolu. Au-delà du simple récit, il dévoile les tourments et les mystères de ce long voyage intérieur, semé d'embûches, d'incertitudes et de doutes. Preljocaj a pour compagnons de route deux artistes aux fortes personnalités, Bruno Mantovani, jeune et brillant compositeur français, qui signe sa première oeuvre pour l'Opéra de Paris, ainsi que le plasticien et scénographe Claude Lévêque, puissant rêveur d'espaces de notre temps. / contemporain / Date parution : 2010-01-19/ Répertoire / Orchestre

3 Symphonic Sketches-'Maybe you don't know that I was intended for the fine career of a sailor…' was what Debussy wrote in a letter in which he tells about his work on La Mer. His passion for the sea remained despite his different career and brought him to compose the three symphonic sketches for orchestra. The initially conservative criticism of La Mer which can probably be attributed to the difference in style compared to the successful work 'Pelléas' could be reversed through a performance directed by Debussy in 1908 with overwhelming success.

For Orchestra With Solo Clarinet In B-Flat-Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie is one of two concertante works completed premiered and published during his lifetime. He was commissioned to write it in 1909 for the final examination at the Paris Conservatoire in 1910. Debussy orchestrated it in the summer of 1911. While transferring the clarinet part from the already published version for clarinet and piano he made a few subtle changes particularly in m. 201 which has been a bone of contention among clarinettists for over a century.The present scholarly-critical publication is the first Urtext edition of the orchestral version. It draws on every known source and takes into account a previously ignored source that shedsnew light on the piece.First Urtext edition of the orchestral versionFirst scholarly-critical edition of a pioneering work for clarinetTrilingual Foreword (Eng/Fr/Ger) with Critical Commentary (Eng)

Eulenberg's celebrated and highly authoritative miniature score is the definitive reference source for study performance preparation or simply for those with a love of the great orchestral works.

Trois Esquisses Symphoniques-New Urtext edition with numerous corrections in comparison to other editions.Important sources which were previously inaccessible have been taken into account.Following the recent publication of the full score and performance material to Debussy?s La Mer (BA 7880) Bärenreiter now presents the study score edition of this ?impressionistic? masterpiece.The new scholarly-critical edition draws on several important sources previously unavailable to musicologists resulting in an array of new readings and corrections. In addition there are many changes especially in terms of articulation and dynamics.This new editionincludes the famous ?fanfare? in Movement III clearly marked in small print and brackets. This fanfare was excised in the 1910 reissue of the work but was reinstated by a number of great conductors who knew Debussy i.e. Monteux Münch Mitropoulos and Ansermet. They felt that the excision was a misunderstanding and that the fanfare was necessary for the structure of the movement. And so the Bärenreiter edition presents the revival of a performing tradition which is committed to the fanfare.

One of the most influential composers of the 20th century Debussy overturned traditional concepts of form harmony rhythm and orchestral coloration. Among his most popular works are the compositions in this volume Prelude A ' L'Apres-Midi D'Un Faune and the Three Nocturnes Clouds Festivals and Sirens. The Nocturnes are described as 'exquisite evocative models of Impressionism' and are all fantastic examples of the expressiveness and character of music from this period. These important compostitions in Dover Miniature Score format are reproduced from authoritative early editions.
