Christoph Willibald Gluck’s most popular opera “Orphe et Euridice†was performed in 1774 in Paris to sensational success. This new adaption followed the original Viennese version with Italian text that was first performed in 1762 under the direction of the composer in the Burgtheater. For the Paris version Gluck changed the leading part Orpheus from an alto to a tenor role and composed new recitatives. Both versions of Gluck’s reform drama are based on a libretto by Ranieri de’ Calzabigi and revolutionised metastasian opera of the 18th century. Solo and choral music, instrumental music, pantomime and dance are all closely connected; the myth replaces a historical plot surrounded by intrigue; where there would have been a da-capo aria there are now simple song forms and coloratura is largely abandoned. These meticulously revised vocal scores of both versions are also newly set.

In the center of this work is the melody of the middle section Moon reflected on the Erquan Spring (Erquan Yingyue) composed 1949 bythe blind Erhu player Hua Yanjun. The melody rapidly spread throughout China and became a cultural symbol throughout the world. Asian conductor Seiji Ozawa heard it in 1978 saying that one can appreciate it only on bended knees.

The present work features a kind of pentatonic music that is often associated with a far eastern landscape. However, it has no genuine compositional connection with Asian music. In this piece pentatonicism is conducive to frictionless intervals and transparency of sound; these are produced in an ideal manner on stringed instruments by means of natural harmonics. The contrasting central section brings dense textures and sharp dissonance, which sound with full intensity and combine with portamento to produce extreme emotional expression and narrative gestures.

Geruchte uber Tschaikowskys angeblichen Selbstmord wegen eines drohenden Skandals begannen in Russland schon bald nach dem Tod des Komponisten zu zirkulieren. Im Westen wurden sie erst seit den 70er Jahren verbreitet. Hier fand vor allem eine dieser - zum Faktum erklarten - Legenden, die eines geheimen Ehrengerichts, Aufmerksamkeit in wissenschaftlichen Publikationen, in der Literatur, auf der Opernbuhne. Dies geschah umso bereitwilliger, als sich all diese Erfindungen leicht mit einem wahren Gerucht verbinden liessen, dem von Tschaikowskys homosexueller Natur. Es ist an der Zeit, sich von den Legenden um den Tod des Komponisten endgultig zu trennen. Nach eingehender Analyse und Diskussion zahlreicher zeitgenossischer Quellen gelangt Poznansky zu dem einzig moglichen Resultat: Tschaikowsky starb an Uramie als Folge der asiatischen Cholera.

These twelve piano miniatures, of increasing difficulty, are a magical distillation of Ming Wang’s long-desired encounter with the Alpine landscape: Rustling Brook, Two Marmots, Colourful Clouds, The Cricket and the Butterfly, The Day the Snow Fell, Lullaby, Mountain Song, Eternal Ice, Ptarmigan’s Song, Dancing Wind, The Valley of Echoes and Ice Pellets. Written mostly in the conventional manner but also incorporating playing techniques and sound effects frequently used in New Music, they are an ideal introduction to the composer’s sound world – a mixture of European contemporary language and Asian colour. Detailed performing instructions, with added fingering by pianist and teacher Przemek Dembski, help to make these brief, unique works a joy for pupil and teacher alike.
