Premiered in London in 1733, Handel's 'magic opera? 'Orlando? is based on a libretto by Carlo Sigismondo Capeci that derives indirectly from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem 'Orlando furioso?.This subject was very popular at the time and was frequently set to music, e.g. by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Agostino Steffani and Joseph Haydn. The title role of Orlando is the last one that Handel wrote for the celebrated castrato Senesino. Several stunning stage effects intended to illustrate Zoroastro's sorcery call for sophisticated baroque stage machinery.The vocal score has been adapted and carefully amended in keeping with the revision of the complete edition volume. The engraving and presentation of the former vocal score (BA 4027-90) have also been meticulously revised in many details. However the pagination stays the same so that both vocal scores are compatible with each other. A new Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger) is also included in the edition.- Urtext edition based on the 'Halle Handel Edition?- With a singable translation in German- Adapted in keeping with the revised score- Comprehensive bilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger)- Idiomatic piano reduction / Chant Et Piano

A Venetian nobleman, member of various judiciary boards of the Serenissima Repubblica, an intellectual of vast erudite learning, Benedett o Marcello was a prolifi c and eclectic composer. Duets hold a special place in Marcello's output, a musical genre attended by famous composers such as Händel and Steffani. Marcello wrote at least fifty such works, as the many manuscripts kept in libraries across Europe bear witness. This edition by Antonio Frigé contains a selection of his most significant duets for soprano and alto, accompanied by continuo. / Voix Et Basse Continue

Oratorio in three parts. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. In quite characteristic fashion for the times, Handel's opera ; Alessandro looks at various episodes in the life and rule of Alexander the Great (356 323 BC). This legendary warrior and military commander conquered large parts of the world before meeting an untimely end at the age of 32. A central conflict in Handel's opera is Alessandro being in love with two women, Lisaura and Rossane, who compete for his favour. In addition, his claim to be of divine parentage is underlined, occasioning him to demand the subservience of his followers, which meets with vigorous disapproval. Handel composed ; Alessandro for the Royal Academyof Music to a libretto by Paolo Antonio Rolli in the 1725/26 season. The work was premiered at the King's Theatre in London on 5 May 1726. ; Alessandro was the first of five operas for the Royal Academy, operas which saw Handel compose for three of the most famous singers of his time: Francesco Bernardi (called Senesino) Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. Ortensio Mauro's libretto ; La superbia d'Alessandro, which was performed for the first time in Hanover in 1690 in a musical setting by Agostino Steffani and staged again in the city the following year under the title ; Il zelo di Leonato but with numerous alterations, served as the source text for Handel's ; Alessandro. One of the main aspects Rolli had to consider when preparing the libretto for the London performances was to keep the roles of the famous singers of the Royal Academy well balanced, yet at the same time to engineer a musical contest between the prima donnas Cuzzoni and Bordoni (Lisaura and Rossane) as well. From a business point of view, it made good sense, for such rivalry would surely increase public interest in the opera. It is no longer possible to ascertain which changes Handel made during the following performance series of the 1727/28 season. For the performance series of 1732/33, Handel made substantial revisions to the opera: six numbers were deleted in their entirety, the finale in part as well, and the recitatives were made much shorter, with the parts of Cleone and Leonato omitted / Oratorio / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte

Par BOULESTREAU GEORGES. Évocation d’une rivière près de Bialka Tatrzanska, au sud de la Pologne, dans une région où, selon certains de ses habitants, on peut découvrir ce qu’est «l’âme slave». La clarinette ou la flûte y coulent des notes heureuses, plongeant lentement à la source de leur timbre le plus grave, puis déroulant peu à peu leurs arabesques limpides, chantant haut et fort le bonheur de vivre dans ce magnifique pays. Przywolywanie rzeki, niedaleko Bialki Tatrzanskiej, na poludniu Polski, w regionie w którym, wedlug niektórych jego mieszkanców, mozna dowiedziec sie co « slowianska dusza ». Klarnet lub flet nalewaja szczesliwe nuty, powoli pograzajac w zródle swoich najnizszych tonów, nastepnie stopniowo rozwijaja swoje przejrzyste arabeski, spiewajac glosno radosc zycia w tym pieknym kraju / Date parution : 2016-04-01/ Répertoire / Clarinette ou Flûte solo
