Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. 'My angel, my all, my self”. With these words Beethoven, in July 1812, began his passionate love letter to a woman whose identity has eluded discovery to the present day. Was he perhaps addressing the same woman four years later when he composed 'An die ferne Geliebte”, his song cycle on poems by Alois Jeitteles? Barry Cooper discusses this and many other questions in the Introduction to his new edition of Beethoven's only song cycle. Not only does he present a meticulously edited musical text, he also delves into questions of performance practice that previous critical editions have overlooked./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Ballet Heroïque With A Prologue And Four Acts. Par RAMEAU JEAN-PHILIPPE. The main body of the new edition of Les Indes galantes, published in Opera Omnia Rameau (OOR IV.2, 7), restores the version authorised by Rameau in 1736. This basic editorial decision has made it possible to present a fully coherent and authenticated reading of the work (after the adjustments from the earliest performances). All other versions before and after 1736 are gathered together in 19 appendices. Sylvie Bouissou' s new edition differs markedly from previous modern editions and all existing recordings. With its appendices she does justice to the performer' s need for Rameau' s various revisions while finally making accessible a version actually authorised by Rameau. For the first time it is presented in its complete stylistic and dramatic context. - Practical vocal score by François Saint-Yves for keyboard accompaniment - Based on a reassessment of all sources and versions - Destined to have a clear impact on performances of Rameau' s magnum opus/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Numbering more than 100 in total, and composed across a 60-year period, Gabriel Fauré's songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song. Despite their importance, the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources, along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré. Above all, it is a practical edition, informed by extensive work with musicians in performances, masterclasses and workshops. This second volume comprises the songs of Fauré's creative maturity, including popular favourites (Les Roses d'Ispahan, Clair de lune) alongside some lesser-known gems, together with his three vocal duets and the delightful four-voice Madrigal. / Voix Moyenne Ou Basse Et Piano
