Puccini est un mystère. Populaire et pourtant méconnu. Médiatique et pourtant secret. Mimì, Tosca et Madame Butterfly, si émouvantes et immédiates, font oublier la modernité musicale de La Fille du Far West ou de Turandot. Car Puccini est un homme de son temps et son temps est le xxe siècle. Siècle de l'image : l'opéra puccinien sera cinématographique autant qu'intimiste.Ce Mode d'emploi se propose d'éclairer ce mystère de l'intérieur. / Voix

Par MASCHKA ROBERT. Dem Volke Pekings wird bekanntgegeben: Prinzessin Turandot heiratet denjenigen, der drei von ihr aufgegebene Rätsel löst. Wer dies nicht schafft, auf den wartet der Henker. Unzählige Kandidaten haben schon den Tod gefunden, als sich ein unbekannter Prinz erneut dem Wagnis stellt und - unfassbar - die Rätsel löst. Aber lässt sich die grausame Kaisertochter dadurch wirklich zur Liebe bekehren? Über diese dramaturgische Frage geriet der bereits schwer erkrankte Puccini ins Stocken und verstarb 1924, noch bevor er eine Lösung für die Schlussszene seiner Oper finden konnte. Der Nachwelt hinterließ er musikalische Skizzen, welche ein mögliches Ende andeuten. Wie also hätte das Finale klingen können, und was hätte Turandot von ihrer Herzenskälte erlöst? Michael Horst beleuchtet in seinem Buch besonders jene letzte Schaffensperiode Puccinis und konzentriert sich auf die Vollendungsversuche der Oper durch andere Komponisten wie Franco Alfano und Luciano Berio. - Anschauliche Figurenporträts und Darstellungen zur Entstehungsgeschichte, Aufführungspraxis und Inszenierungsgeschichte - Mit zahlreichen, auch farbigen Abbildungen und Notenbeispielen Der Autor Michael Horst war lange Jahre Feuilleton-Redakteur der „Berliner Morgenpost' und lebt heute als freier Journalist und Autor in Berlin. Er arbeitet für Deutschlandradio Kultur, SWR 2 sowie für Tageszeitungen und Magazine. In der Reihe „Opernführer kompakt' ist von ihm bereits erschienen: „Puccini - Tosca' (2012)./ Livre / Livre

Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Here, appearing for the first time, is the piano vocal score of Le Willis, Giacomo Puccini’s first stage work, whose full score remained unpublished until 2020, when it was issued by Casa Ricordi (NR 139546).The critical edition by Martin Deasy is based, as far as the first six Numbers are concerned, on the autograph score that Puccini reutilized for composing Le Villi. The autograph pages incorporating the final Number – pages that were later removed, in order to make space for the new material produced for Le Villi– are also proposed as the principal text.Pursuing an innovative philological approach, the editor has, furthermore, taken into due consideration the contemporaneous printed editions of the piano vocal score, on the assumption that they constitute the principal collateral sources, if one considers the particular genesis of this work. For it is certain that Puccini, upon entering the Sonzogno competition, submitted a score of Willis that lacked proper orchestration in a few pages and displayed, above all, incomplete vocal lines. However, he also provided a manuscript reduction for piano and vocal score (now lost, except for the final Number of Willis) that was undoubtedly more detailed, as far as the vocal lines were concerned. The editor proves that the vocal material produced for the first performance of Willis was not copied from the autograph score, but from the lost score reduction. The latter also served as the basis for the preparation of Ricordi’s printed edition of the piano vocal score./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. What is being presented here is the piano vocal score of Le Villi, Giacomo Puccini’s first stage work, the full score of which was published by Casa Ricordi (NR 141755) in 2020.The premiere of Le Villi took place at the Teatro Regio in Turin on 27 December 1884, and was followed by a Milanese performance at Teatro alla Scala on 24 January 1885: both productions were quite well received by critics and public alike.The critical edition by Martin Deasy is based on the autograph score that Puccini initially prepared for the one-act version (Willis), and later modified for the two-act, revised version (Villi). Pursuing a groundbreaking philological approach, the editor has, furthermore, taken into proper consideration the contemporaneous printed editions of the piano vocal score, which constitute, in his view, the principal collateral sources, if one is to consider the particular genesis of this work. For it is certain that Puccini, upon entering the Sonzogno competition, submitted a score of Willis that lacked proper orchestration in a few pages and displayed, above all, incomplete vocal lines. However, he also provided a manuscript reduction for piano and vocal score (now lost, except for the final Number of Willis) that was undoubtedly more detailed, as far as the vocal lines were concerned. The editor demonstrates that the vocal material realized for the first performance of Willis was not derived from the autograph score, but from the lost score reduction.

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 envoûtants sa créativité musicale et son incroyable capacité à délivrer des ambiances exotiques à 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 à 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).

Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. Puccini’s first known sacred work was composed during his school days at the “Istituto Pacini” in Lucca. It was first performed there in 1877. The text was a hymn to the Patron Saint of Lucca which was probably written by the composer himself. The work was so popular that by 1880 it had received three further performances, though it was also inserted in the Messa a 4 voci, after the Credo. Thereafter it disappeared from the music world and was only first rediscovered in the 1990s. Since, with the exception of the lack of a solo tenor in the piece, it is identical with this one in the Messa, for this reason it would seem only natural to perform these two works together./ Répertoire / Choeur et Orchestre

Crit. Ed. Roger Parker. Par PUCCINI GIACOMO. The Critical Edition of MANON LESCAUT is the first volume of the series THE OPERAS OF GIACOMO PUCCINI - CRITICAL EDITION - in collaboration with Archivio storico Ricordi and Fondazione Simonetta Puccini. It makes available the three main versions of the opera that have survived in various sources: an 1893 version, with the original Act I finale, the first version of Manons Act IV aria, and the uncut version of the final duet in Act IV; a 'midcareer'version imagined by Puccini in the first decade of the new century, when he sanctioned the almost complete omission of Manons Act IV aria; and finally the last version that Puccini lived to approve, with Manons aria restored, albeit with a revisedliterary text. The edition consists of two volumes of full score. The first volume is introduced by a preface to the Puccini Critical Edition and an historical introduction; the second volume ends with a detailed description of the operas many sources and alengthy critical commentary which discusses numerous problematic details in the musical text. / Opéra-opérette / Date parution : 1905-07-06/ Répertoire / Opéra

Ed. Tradizionale - Opera Completa (Testo Cantato In Italiano-Inglese)-The Vocal Score for Il Tabarro the one-act Opera by Giacomo Puccini. With a libretto by Giuseppe Adami Il Tabarro is the first of three operas that make up Puccini's triptych.   Along with 'Suor Angelica' and 'Gianni Schicchi' Il Tabarro is one of Puccini's most famous and best-loved works. Typically known as the 'tragic panel' of the triptych this work was composed in two stages - in 1913 and then between 1915 and 1916. Il Tabarro heralds a move towards an expressionist form of language and drama for Puccini a truly unique work ofart.
