La renommée de Carl Maria von Weber repose principalement sur, Der Freischütz '. Le succès sans précédent de cet opéra éclipsé tous ses autres ouvrages et a contribué à augmenter leur chute dans l'oubli. Certaines oeuvres comme, Preciosa ',, Oberon ', et, Euryanthe', les ouvertures, concertos solistes et sonates pour piano, le lied et de la chambre de travaille connu une grande popularité et ont été largement connu en Allemagne et à l'étranger aussi tard que la seconde moitié de la 19e siècle. Cependant, toute chance d'un renouveau de l'influence de Weber et deimportance de son oeuvre a été gaspillé dans les années 1920, quand une édition complète - commencé par Hans Joachim Moser et avec les contributeurs potentiels, y compris Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein et Richard Strauss - a échoué après le troisième volume.Depuis il ya eu de nombreuses tentatives pour relancer une édition complète des oeuvres de Weber, mais comme ce genre de projet, il aurait fallu la coopération des chercheurs des deux côtés de la frontière inter-allemande, la situation politique après 1945 n'était pas propice à une telle entreprise. Négociations minutieuses conduit à des premières étapes tangibles dans les années 1980. L'intention, dès le début, était de placer l'oeuvre de Weber dans son contexte, et de ne pas séparer sa production musicale de son travail d'influence en tant qu'écrivain, critique et organisateur dans le domaine musical, mais de publier ses compositions avec ses lettres, journaux intimes et l'autre production littéraire comme le meilleur moyen de documenter la fertilisation croisée entre ses activités musicales, littéraires et pratique.Depuis la réunification allemande les deux parties de travailler les concernés - à la Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, et au Séminaire Musikwissenschaftliches, Detmold / Paderborn - ont coopéré sur l'édition complète des oeuvres musicales (C. 45 volumes en 10 séries: sacrés la musique- cantates, des odes et d'autres oeuvres de circonstance- oeuvres théâtrales, des oeuvres de lieder et vocale- oeuvres pour orchestre- musique de chambre, musique pour piano- réductions pour piano- Miscellanea, arrangements et orchestrations, les oeuvres d'attribution douteuse). Le journal (6-8 vol.) Sont édités à Berlin et les lettres (8-10 vol.) Et d'autres écrits (2 vol.) À Detmold.Cette édition complète vise à constituer une base fiable de débat scientifique ainsi que pour la pratique de la performance authentique de la musique de Carl Maria von Weber. Conforme aux normes de ces dernières éditions historico-critiques, le matériau textuel sera basée sur toutes les sources disponibles authentiques, accompagnés par une documentation détaillée de la genèse et une liste de variantes pour chaque travail. L'importance des travaux musicologiques seront évaluées en les plaçant dans leur contexte historique, la présentation de leurs commentaires genèse, l'histoire et la critique. Les lettres, les écrits et les journaux seront traités comme liés entre eux et pertinentes les unes aux autres dans les commentaires, donc les lecteurs devraient bénéficier d'une mine d'informations concises et des références croisées. / Soliste, Choeur Et Orchestre

Lieder der Vergänglichkeit for three soloists (SMezBar), mixed choir and orchestra. Par PENDERECKI KRZYSZTOF. The form of this work is not so much based on the classical symphony, but is closer to a song cycle structure which has now grown to include 13 movements for choir and orchestra. The Romantic characteristics and form of the 8th Symphony are both reminiscent of Gustav Mahler’s choral symphonic works and his Lied von der Erde. Krzysztof Penderecki here extends and augments his expressive musical material, for example through cluster techniques and glissandi, possibilities which he has been systematically exploring since the 1950s. He has compiled the texts from poetry by Eichendorff, Rilke, Brecht, Kraus, Hesse, Goethe, Bethge and von Arnim on the theme of ’forests and trees’, which has long been close to his heart as demonstrated by his private arboretum near Luslavice (’my personal Ithaca’) containing over 1500 species of trees./ Répertoire / Solistes, Choeur et Orchestre

Saint Francois D'Assise is an opera in 3 acts by Olivier Messiaen. This volume is focused on the Act II – 6. Le Prêche Aux Oiseaux which depicts a moment when he preached to the birds in Assisi. Saint Francis gives the birds his benediction to which they answer by a Concerto. Based on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi this opera is set in Italy and is composed as per below: Act I: 1. La croix 2. Les laudes 3. Le baiser au lépreux Act II 4. L’ange voyageur 5. L’ange musicien 6. Le prêche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was played at the Paris Opera in 1983. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity its diatonic aspect its harmony with limited transposition its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on Rhythm Colour and Ornithology' in 7 volumes.

The ?Petite Messe Solennelle? is the finest work of Rossini?s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the ?Stabat mater? the mass is one of the composer?s most important sacred works.The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini?s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by for example Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements.The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation.- Based on the Urtext of the series ?Works of Gioachino Rossini?.- Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger).- With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II.

Anthems for the Chapel RoyalO sing unto the Lord a new song HWV 249a for Soloists (AB) Chorus (SATB) Flute 2 Oboes 2 Trumpets Strings Continuo BA 4263 I will magnify thee HWV 250b for Soloists (SATB) Chorus (SATB) Oboe Strings Continuo BA 4264As Pants The Hart HWV 251e for Soloists (SAATBB) Chorus (SAATB) 2 Oboes Strings Continuo BA 4265Let God arise HWV 256b for Soloists (AB) Chorus (SATB) Oboe Strings Continuo BA 4266Handel?s four anthems were all composed during his London period in the Chapel Royal. ?As Pants The Hart? his fifth setting of this Psalm text was writtenin March 1738 for performance at a benefit concert for the King?s Theatre in the Haymarket.Until just before Handel?s first visit to England the only instrument permitted to accompany the service in the Chapel Royal was the Organ. These four works with their orchestral accompaniments thus represent something akin to a new genre in English church music.The four anthems are presented in clearly laid out vocal scores with straightforward Piano reductions based on the Urtext from the Halle Handel Edition. Their enticingly varied and self-sufficient orchestral writing provides a suitable framework for the festive chorus and equally festive solo numbers. Today they sound as splendid as ever!The full scores and vocal scores also contain a German translation along with the original English text.

Par ZELENKA JAN DISMAS. The Missa Omnium Sanctorum ZWV 21 is Zelenka?s last mass setting. It contains three extended arias (one each for soprano, alto and tenor), concertante choruses and unusually expressive choral fugues. Especially powerful in effect is the through-composed Credo in this mass, with a ritornello that is one of Zelenka?s most beautiful inspirations. The score and parts material of this new edition are based on the corresponding volume of the ?Das Erbe deutscher Musik? series, from which Breitkopf
