B Minor. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Like every other great 19th-century solo concerto, Dvorák ’s famous Cello Concerto was a collaboration between composer and virtuoso. It has long been known that certain solo passages in Dvorák ’s autograph score were actually written by the cellist Hanuš Wihan; but Bärenreiter’s edition now reveals that some details in the Orchestral parts are also in his writing, showing just how closely the two musicians were working together. The editor Jonathan Del Mar has painstakingly examined all the surviving sources, including two that have hitherto been either ignored or crucially undervalued, in order to produce anauthoritative edition which restores – for the first time since the original edition was published in 1896 - Dvorák ’s final and definitive version of the solo Cello part. This differs, in details, in almost every bar from the version found in all other modern editions, while hundreds of corrections have also been made to the Orchestral parts. - With Dvorák ’s final and definitive version of the solo Cello part. - With hundreds of corrections in the solo Cello part as well as the Orchestral parts. - With hitherto unknown details regarding the collaboration between Dvorák and Wihan. - With Dvorák ’s original Piano reduction. - With Feuermann's and Casals' alternatives to a passage in the first movement. - Full score, performance material (BA9045), Cello & Piano (BA9045-90) & Facsimile (BVK1849) available for sale./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre

Original Version. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Schumann’s Cello Concerto Rediscovered In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann’s original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 – a piece he actually called a ‘Concertstück’ – removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer’s manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków. This Full Score matches the separately available edition for Cello and Piano (EP 73488). Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann’s original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Cello and piano edition available separately from Edition Peters: orchestral parts available for rental Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from Dutton Robert Schumann’s tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann’s original conception of the work – not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann’s health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists. Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann’s original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann’s original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann’s musical text, free of posthumous interventions. ‘My ultimate wish,’ says the editor, ‘is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character – one that is lighter and happier, even “cheerful”, as Schumann himself described the work.'/ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The piano reduction, which was prepared by the composer himself, has been edited according to text-critical criteria for the first time as well. Döge was able to rely on a renowned performer for this part of his work: Heinrich Schiff, who arranged the solo part and provides valuable interpretative tips in his commentaries on performance practice./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre

Après Altius (1999) pour violoncelle et 16 instruments et Huit à l'infini (2001) pour octuor de violoncelles et orchestre, Horizons réflexes est ma troisième oeuvre de nature concertante écrite pour le violoncelle.Au début de la composition de cette pièce, dédiée à Gary Hoffman et commandée par le festival Automne en Normandie, j'avais à l'esprit l'idée quasi picturale d'un paysage étrange, constitué de lignes se développant horizontalement et de verticalités presque régulières qui se rencontrent, se trouvent, se dérobent ou se métamorphosent.Non seulement le vers du poète Alexis Pelletier 'Un matin, je fus saisi par l'évidence des horizons réflexes' m'a donné l'idée du titre de la pièce, mais il m'a également permis de conceptualiser la plastique sonore que je souhaitais développer au long des six sections enchaînées que compte cette composition.Dans la plupart de mes oeuvres concertantes - et c'est de nouveau le cas dans Horizons reflexes, le soliste devient la 'voix supérieure' d'une matière sonore en mouvement prolongée par un orchestre 'résonateur' qui sait aussi se montrer éloquent.

La composition tripartite ' la Vierge '(Nativité, la Vierge à l'enfant - Pietà, la Vierge et le crucifié, BEL 499 - triptyque de Pâques, la Vierge par la Croix, BEL 497) est l'une des oeuvres tardives de Mouravieff. Trois pièces peuvent être joués ensemble ou séparément. Mouravieff était très intéressé par la tragédie grecque antique, et cela l'a amené à tenter de faire revivre l'art grec antique du mouvement. En plus de concevoir des rythmiques avec battements forts et faibles, il a continué à faire usage de rythmes grecques antiques et plus tard appliqué ses réflexions au rythme de la respiration. Il décrit cette en termes de battements longs et courts (1,5 et 1 longueur) avec une césure approprié. Par le biais de cette dualité, qui correspondent à des patrons de respiration ou l'impulsion (certains musiciens peuvent aujourd'hui trouver cela plutôt difficile), Mouravieff a tenté d'une manière idiosyncratique d'utiliser pleinement l'élément important du rythme de la musique. / Violoncelle Et Orchestre De Chambre

Cet ouvrage est un hommage à Lorca dont le dernier recueil de poèmes (Divan du Tamarit) peut apparaître, a posteriori, comme une prémonition de sa propre mort. Les neuf Casidas, qui en composent la seconde partie, sont autant de visions désespérées ou amères que Maurice Ohana imagine peuplant la mémoire du poète tout au long de la route de la Fontaine aux larmes qui fut son chemin de croix. Mots et images tournent autour du condamné, anneau qui l'encercle, l'emprisonne, mais aussi le protège à l'heure ultime. L'ouvrage est d'un seul tenant, les séquences s'enchaînant comme autant de visions tour à tour sombres, violentes, déchirantes, dépouillées ou tragiques, en un poème de la mort qui rejoint, après vingt-cinq années, cet autre poème de mort qu'était le Llanto por Ignacio Sanchez Mejias. / Contre-ténor et ensemble
