Par BIRCH SVEN. Each piece is based on a motive characteristic of the respective style. For all its simplicity, the composer achieves to keep the musical curiosity alive by little variants in melody and accompaniment. This makes engaging with this music both motivating and instructive. The markings for articulation and dynamic help to achieve a profiled, expressive playing. The fingering, kept to the basics, supports each intended playing gesture and helps with the phrasing. In short: ideal ?food? for piano players of all ages with a little experience. / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Etude / Piano

Thomas Simaku's Solar for Trumpet Violin and Piano. This work is based on Philip Larkin’s poem of the same title. Part of the High Windows volume (Faber & Faber 1974) Solar is one of Larkin’s well known poems which have been described as a ‘piquant mixture of lyricism and discontent’. This was 'music to my ears' and having previously composed two other works - Plenilunio and Raggio Lunare - which ‘hover' on the same orbit as it were this particular poem immediately struck a chord with me: its astral celestial cosmological lunar stellar planetary anduniversal associations (not to mention the energy here) gave further impetus to my curiosity on both musical and extra-musical levels. - Thomas Simaku Duration: 9 minutes.

Edizione critica a cura di Gabriele Dotto e Roger Parker (Vol. 1: XLIV, Vol. 2: VIII). Par DONIZETTI GAETANO. Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, written to a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano, was first performed at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples on 26 September 1835. It has remained in the repertory without interruption as one of Donizetti’s most popular operas throughout its nearly 200-year history. The edition proposes as the principal text a version of the opera that, for the most part, is as near as possible to that given at the premiere in Naples. However, one of the important new features of the edition is that it includes several fully orchestrated passages that, for unknown reasons, were cancelled very close to the time of the first performance. It also features in the third-act mad scene an obbligato part for the glass harmonica, an instrument that Donizetti had chosen for this extraordinary scene, and drafted in his autograph score, but was then constrained to substitute with a solo flute when the glass harmonica player got into contractual difficulties with the theatre. While the glass harmonica part was considered a mere “musicological curiosity” some decades ago, the critical edition now convincingly argues for its legitimate restoration as part of the composer’s preferred concept. The Sources section of the edition includes a detailed examination of all contemporary sources for the opera. The composer’s autograph score is of course the most important of these, but also of great value is the first printed vocal score of the opera, which in some numbers has a piano reduction prepared by the composer and contains many vocal variants (all reported in the score) that will be a great value to performers. There are also a number of early manuscript copies of the full score, several of which are valuable in outlining the first interpretations of Donizetti’s music. The critical edition restores the original keys, thus maintaining Donizetti’s overall harmonic design, but discusses transpositions that later entered the performing and editorial tradition of the opera. Three transposed pieces – which may have had Donizetti’s approval – will be made available available in the material for hire to theatres. / Date parution : 2022-03-05/ Répertoire / Orchestre
