Par CORDISCO-RESPIGHI N.. Descendant de plusieurs générations de musiciens, Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) naît en Toscane puis bénéficie d'une bourse pour étudier à  Milan, où vivant un peu comme son futur Rodolpho de La Bohême, il rencontre son premier librettiste, Fontana, qui lui propose Le Villi. Soutenu par Boito et édité par Ricordi, Puccini connaît ainsi son premier succês lyrique et tombe amoureux d'Elvira qui lui donnera un fils. Aprês l'échec d'Edgar lorgnant vers le Grand Opéra, Puccini trouvera sa voie principalement dans les drames amoureux : Manon Lescaut, La Bohême, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La fanciulla del West, La Rondine ou encore l'incahevé Turandot. Seul Gianni Schicchi, en 1 acte, lorgne vers le comique. En Puccini coexistent l'artiste et l'homme, avec toutes ses contradictions et ses défauts, laissant finalement - seulement - 14 opéras, pour la plupart devenus des incontournables du répertoire lyrique. Cet ouvrage inédit sur le maestro italien propose de nombreuses illustrations et des exemples musicaux permettant de mieux aborder ce répertoire lyrique, ainsi que des annexes pratiques. / Broché / Livre / Livres

In 'Tosca' Puccini explored the dark side of human emotion a marked change from the late-Romantic sentimentality of 'La Boheme'. Also in contrast to 'La Bohème' where the villain was fate and so the stage action was minimal both heros and villains are humans who struggle on stage and the clashes are always between single individuals. It is a story of cheating and doubt - nothing seems honest and direct even love is troubled by jealousy. Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa based the libretto on Victorien Sardou's play La Tosca (1887). This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score and contains an English version by John Gutman.

Full Score/Partitura-Tosca was first performed in Rome at the Teatro Costanzi on 14 January 1900. Based on a play by Vincent Sardou the libretto unfolds in an effective rhetoric that is both direct and decidedly dramatic. The characters and the action seem embossedwith touches of polished emotional pliancy reinforced by the orchestration and vocal style of the music. But the music is also responsible for the more subtle indirect psychological shading to this context of basic contrasts. Thus we glimpse theclear outlines of generous self-denial beguiled dreams listlessness fierceness - and death which with no less precision brings all things mercilessly to their end.On the cover: Tosca and Cavaradossi on the rampart of Castel Sant’Angelo; watercolor by Leopoldo Metlicovitz for a series of postcards 1900.
