Based on the Critical Edition- Orchestra material on hire. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The large-scale form of 'Symphony No. 9' is unusual in a number of ways. It reminds in no way of the ninth symphonies of famous predecessors. Two slow movements, an Andante comodo at the beginning and an Adagio at the end, form the frame for two of the most parodistic and embittered inner movements that Mahler ever wrote - a ländler-waltz combination, and the 'Rondo-Burleske', a bitter, ironic movement that is derisively dedicated 'to my brothers in Apollo'. The most extraordinary part of Mahler's last completed symphony must certainly be the slow finale - a 20-minute long intensively singing movement laden with conflict that includes references to earlier works by Mahler, in slow motion as it were ('Urlicht',' Ablösung im Sommer', the 'Scherzo of Symphony No. 3', 'Der Abschied' from 'Das Lied von der Erde', and 'Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen' from the 'Kindertotenlieder'); it indeed seems that a circle is being closed.

Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Score

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Missa en do mineur K. 427 Grande messe en do mineur La magnifique «Grande messe en ut mineur K. 427» de Mozart est impressionnante non seulement pour sa monumentalité et sa beauté musicale, mais aussi pour son état fragmentaire qui fascine les érudits et les interprètes depuis des décennies. En collaboration avec la Fondation internationale Mozarteum de Salzbourg, Barenreiter présente maintenant une nouvelle édition de ce travail, reflétant la pointe de la recherche tout en tenant compte des besoins des artistes interprètes. Normes savantes élevées, achèvement et reconstruction des mouvements: cette publication pionnière intègre tout cela afin de se rapprocher le plus possible de l''uvre elle-même: - Les «Kyrie» et «Gloria», qui survivent tous les deux de la main de Mozart, sont édités conformément aux normes savantes. - Les deux premières sections du «Credo» ont été méticuleusement complétées par l'éditeur Ulrich Leisinger, en s'inspirant des compositions originales de Mozart, par exemple l'air «Deh vieni non tardar» de «Le mariage de Figaro» et en prêtant attention à un style stylistiquement approprié et transparent. du son. - Le «Sanctus» et le «Benedictus» (avec le «Hosanna»), qui sont soit incomplets soit ne survivent que dans des sources secondaires, ont été reconstruits par l'éditeur. Les sections sans source connue sont omises dans cette édition. Pour compléter la publication, vous trouverez un avant-propos complet (allemand / anglais) et un commentaire critique détaillé (anglais). La première représentation de la nouvelle édition d'Ulrich Leisinger a été donnée en avril 2019 à l'Elbphilharmonie Hamburg par le Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra et la ChorWerk Ruhr sous la direction de Kent Nagano. La première première autrichienne a eu lieu à Salzbourg en août 2019 dans la grande salle du Mozarteum, avec Andrew Manze dirigeant la Camerata de Salzbourg sous les applaudissements du public et des critiques.
