Duration: 24' Composed:
2008 Published by: Alla
Pavlova Music Although it
maintains the charm of
the original Hans
Christian Andersen tale,
Alla Pavlova's Thumbelina
is a considerable
musical, visual and
narrative expansion of
the story to make it
suitable as a full-length
ballet and
family-programming
alternative to The
Nutcracker. Musically, it
is scored for full
symphony orchestra
([3,2,2,2]-[4,3,3,1]-[tim
p.,perc.]-[Hp]-[Strings],
Percussion: Bass dr.,
Snare dr., Wooden Block,
Tambourine, Triangle,
Glock., Vibraphone,
Celesta) and contains not
only many beautiful,
lyrical and moving
waltzes and other
classical themes, but
also rhythms such as
tango, boogie-woogie and
ragtime. Narratively, the
story has been adapted to
include a varied and
colorful cast of
characters. The
Thumbelina Suite (which
has been recorded by the
Tchaikovsky Symphony
Orchestra for Naxos) can
be heard at

synopsis of the ballet,
which is of course based
on the Andersen fairy
tale. We’ll gladly

Based on
the subject of the
eponymous novella by
Prosper Merimee, 'Carmen'
is George Bizet's last
work. The composer died a
few weeks after the
unsuccessful world
premiere in Paris on 3
March 1875. To the
opera-lover of today, it
is inconceivable that
this work with its
numerous wonderful
'Spanish' melodies and
rhythms - developed by
Bizet virtually 'from
afar' as he had never
travelled through Spain -
could ever be a failure.
Over the course of time,
however, 'Carmen' has
become one of the most
popular and most
frequently played operas
long since.Apart from the
libretto, this edition
contains introductory
commentaries of Kurt
Pahlen who also adds
information on the
compositional structure
and context to the
musical as well as
external and internal
dramatic action of the
opera. A short synopsis
and a brief outline of
the genesis bring the
work into relation with
the composer's entire
oeuvre and life, thus
offering a comprehensive,
richly illustrated
introduction.

couple celebrating their

anniversary attends a

the acclaimed Dr. Magic,
whose specialty would
appear to be telepathy
and hypnosis. Eager to be
cast under Dr. Magic's
spell, the husband and
wife are revealed as
alarmingly suggestible,

end, against our
expectations, the
hypnotized husband's love
for his wife overcomes
Dr. Magic and the two are
promised a joint memory
of their happiest
experience. -- Joyce

The Three
Tenors Are ComingOn the
opera stage, the tenor is
often the most eminent
protagonist. Whether as
ardent lover or tragic
hero, he is in the
limelight to show lyrical
sensitivity, sonorous
euphony and smoothness, a
maximum of nuances. The
vocal range creates high
expectations and provides
an extraordinary aura.The
three volumes for tenor
represent the grand
finale of the most
comprehensive collection
of repertoire for all
vocal genres, with 16
volumes.Our goal is to
give the user a
modern-day,
systematically structured
vocal coach who satisfies
the demands of
present-day theater
practice. At long last a

This is a
highly effective work in

The opening reeds signal
a modal flavor which is
retained throughout the

Fanfares in the brass

many interesting

magnificent allargando

with great flourish and

Having
composed five operas in
the 1850s, Verdi, while
looking for a suitable
libretto, came across a
manuscript of Eugene
Scribe which had already
been the subject of works
by other composers.
Although the political
aspect only played a
minor role in the plot,
the censor's office
demanded that the locale
be moved outside Europe.
The world premiere in
Rome on 17 February 1859
was a huge triumph for
Verdi and 'Un Ballo in
Maschera' with is
brilliant arias and
effective choral
scenes.Kurt Pahlen
juxtaposes the Italian
text with the translation
of the libretto
frequently used at German
theatres, adding
information on the
compositional structure
and context to the
musical as well as
external and internal
dramatic action of the
opera. A short synopsis
and a brief outline of
the genesis bring the

the composer's entire
oeuvre and life, thus

SYNOPSIS
Aribert Reimann's
'Trilogie lyrique' is
based on three plays by
Maurice Maeterlinck: In
L'Intruse, a family is
sitting at the table with
their blind grandfather.
They are waiting for the
doctor to arrive and tend
to his daughter who is
lying ill in bed after
having given birth: her
new-born son has not yet
made a single sound. The
old man senses that
something is wrong due to
the uneasy atmosphere in
the room. Who is sitting
in our midst? he asks. He
is the only one who
cansee the presence of
death. Interieur: Once
again a family is
gathered round the table
in the evening, but this
time we observe the
action from outside,
looking through the
window with the
grandfather and a
stranger: no sound can be
heard. Outside the house,
the stranger reports that
the eldest daughter has
drowned and that he has
pulled her out of the
river. Although the
corpse is already being
carried through the
village to the family,
the grandfather cannot
bring himself to destroy
this idyll. La Mort de
Tintagiles: The young
Tintagiles is told a
story about a mysterious
castle and the aged queen
who has all potential
heirsto the throne
murdered. His siblings
sense that Tintagiles has
been summoned to the
castle to be murdered,
but nobody openly
expresses this fact. It
is the sinister
messengers of death from
the interludes, now
visible as the queens
servants, who ful?l her
demand and snatch the
sleeping boy from his
sisters'arms. Commentary
'In comparison with his
Medea for example with
its stormy outbreaks of
emotion and violence,
Reimann's score is worked
in an impressive
refinement of sound. It
begins with rumbling,
hesitating and expressive
music in the first
section, demanding highly
ingenious sound effects
from the lower strings
including tapping and
faltering glissandos in
its noisy expression of
mortal fear. Inthe second
part, the woodwind
formation plays at times
almost in chamber music
fashion and is then
suddenly painfully
shrill. The third part
luxuriates and rages in
its rich, full
orchestration. The manner
in which Reimann displays
his mastery in textural
shading, the invention of
sounds welling up and
fading away, the rhythmic
and melodic capacity of
suffering and the music's
inner violence are all
utterly
compelling.'(Wolfgang
Schreiber, Opernwelt,
November 2017).

Although
'Rhinegold', like any of
the following three
parts, is a drama on its
own, it reveals its
entire meaning only as
introduction to the
complete work. In 'The
Nibelung's Ring', Wagner
used his own word
creations the principal
characteristics of which
are effective
alliterations. For the
first time, this first
part of the 'Ring' also
contains the
'reminiscence motifs' (it
was not until after
Wagner's death that Hans
von Wolzogen invented the
expression of the
'leitmotif' as it is used
today).Apart from the
libretto, this edition
contains introductory
commentaries of Kurt
Pahlen who also adds
information on the
compositional structure
and context to the
musical as well as
external and internal
dramatic action of the
opera. A short synopsis
and a brief outline of
the genesis bring the
work into relation with
the composer's entire
oeuvre and life, thus

richly illustrated
