Par KOBBE GUSTAV. Depuis trois quarts de siècle, le Kobbé est l'ouvrage de référence des amateurs d'opéra dans le monde entier. Paru pour la premiêre fois en 1922 - quatre ans aprês la mort accidentelle de son auteur. Gustave Kobbé (1857 - 1918), écrasé par un hydravion alors qu'il faisait du bateau au large de Long Island -, cette bible des mélomanes a connu d'innombrables rééditions et de nombreuses traductions. A trois reprises (1954, 1976, 1985), lord Harewood - qui a dirigé pendant plus de vingt ans le Royal Opera House de Londres, puis l'Opéra de Covent Garden - a complété et mis à  jour cet incomparable instrument de travail. Aujourd'hui, il présente, secondé par Antony Peattie, une version entiêrement renouvelée. Cet ouvrage s'est enrichi de 60 oeuvres nouvelles, présentées ici pour la premiêre fois, portant ainsi de 400 à  prês de 500 les opéras du monde entier qui sont analysés. Une dizaine de compositeurs, anciens et modernes, font ainsi leur entrée dans le ' Nouveau Kobbé ' , témoignant de la vitalité d'un genre et du renouvellement constant du répertoire. De plus, afin de tenir compte du lecteur français, certains opéras particuliêrement appréciés dans notre pays ou redécouverts récemment viennent enrichir la version originale de ce livre. Pour rendre la consultation plus aisée, le ' Nouveau Kobbé ' présente les compositeurs de tous les temps et de tous les pays par ordre alphabétique. Les opéras sont classés par compositeurs dans l'ordre de leur création et, pour chacun d'entre eux, sont rappelées les plus importantes mises en scêne, y compris les plus récentes.

Symphonie der Tausend. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. All my earlier symphonies are mere preludes to this one. In the other works everything is subjective tragedy, - this one is a huge giver of joy.' (Gustav Mahler) Gustav Mahler's 'Symphony No. 8' is a work of exceptions. Seen from the outside, this is true of the forces that are used: with its three choirs, eight soloists and an orchestra of far more than one hundred musicians, there are few similar works in the annals of music. This cast of performers determines the second exceptional element of the work, the mix of instrumental and vocal characteristics that makes it to the prototype of a 'vocal symphony', which - as Mahler put it - 'is sung from beginning to end'. In turn, the texts that are sung influence the structure of the whole, replacing, as it were, the usual four movements of a symphony with two strongly divergent 'parts'. And, finally, as if to emphasize this divergence, the texts used - the hymn 'Veni creator spiritus' in the first part and the final scene of Goethe's Faust in the second - are not only written in two languages but also separated in their origins by more than one thousand years. Thus it is a work of extremes, and a work of contradiction. It seems, however, that it was exactly these distinctive features that lifted the symphony above the others and convinced Mahler that his 'Symphony No. 8' was 'the greatest' work 'that I have composed'./ Répertoire / Chœur Mixte [SATB] et Orchestre

Par HOLST GUSTAV. Among the most popular and important modern British composers, Gustav Holst (1874–1934) was a true eccentric, given to odd enthusiasms and mystical musings. His spectacular symphonic suite The Planets, first performed in 1918, established hisinternational reputation and remains a staple of the orchestral repertoire to this day. Scored for huge orchestral forces and a wordless chorus, the work is divided into seven movements, the music of each embodying the astrological and mysticalqualities of a different planet. From the ominous, relentless march of 'Mars, the Bringer of War' to the robust festivities of 'Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity' and the weird, unearthly hush of 'Neptune, the Mystic, ' the emotional sweep andinnovative techniques of the suite have delighted and thrilled its vast audience ever since its spectacular debut. Musicians and music lovers alike will want to own this authoritative, attractively published and inexpensive full score. Reprint of theGoodwin & Tabb, Ltd. , London, 1921 edition.

5 Selected Songs. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The only known chamber music by Gustav Mahler is a movement for piano quartet from his student days at the Conservatorium in Vienna (1875-1878). The present new arrangements by Ronald Kornfeil go some way to addressing this gap while they also enrich the repertoire with pieces that are very interesting and demanding in their own right. The composer's rich song output includes his Wunderhorn songs, the Songs of a Wayfarer, the Rückert songs, the Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) as well as movements from his symphonies and the Song of the Earth. This book includes a selection of pieces that best suit the sound of the flute while providing plenty of variety. The arrangements transform Mahler's songs from their original conception for voice and piano or orchestral accompaniment into a purely instrumental dialogue between two equally important instrumentalists. In most cases the colourful orchestral versions provide the starting point. The omission of the text also demands different compositional techniques to bring out the various effects between indulgent sweetness and grotesque irony. The internationally acclaimed flautist, Emmanuel Pahud presents further publications in this new series bringing together selected pieces from the repertoire of famous flautists./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
