Par MARTIN FRANK. This edition of Frank Martin’s mass is a scholarly-critical as well as a performing edition that takes all sources into account. As a matter of fact, it was only during the research for this edition that a previously unknown source was discovered and evaluated – a radio recording of the mass, which was produced in 1970 by the Dutch NCRV Vocaal Ensemble with the participation of t…

Passionskantate. Par HOMILIUS GOTTFRIED AUGUST. He was without argument our greatest church composer, wrote the lexicographer E. L. Gerber a few years after Homilius's death in 1785. As a result of the destruction of the Kreuzkirche during the Seven Years War, the longtime Kreuzkantor, a pupil of Bach, performed his professional musical duties primarily at the Frauenkirche in Dresden. The Passions…

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Dvorák's 'String Quintet in G major” op. 77, had five movements when it was premiered on 18 March 1876. Its second movement was the 'Intermezzo” from his 'String Quartet in E minor” (1870). Later Dvorák removed this movement from the quintet, expanded it, and published it as a separate 'Notturno” for string orchestra op. 40. The 'Intermezzo” is included in its original version …

For our Aube, we follow a woman for whom the dawn brings painful childhood memories. Lasting aroun…

Magnificat and Nunc dimittis. Par PURCELL HENRY. The present 'Evening Service' is one of the few works in which Pucell sets to music portions of the liturgy, whereas most of the church music of the Master consists of anthems, i. e. cantata-like compositions with biblical text. The alternative between chorus (full) and soloists (verse), so characteristic of this composition, may if necessary be rep…

Gaetano Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux, written to a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano, was first performed at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples on 29 October 1837.

Farewell to St. Petersburg. Par BRYARS GAVIN. This concerto has the unusual addition of an optional male voice choir. Many Russian elements influenced Bryars when he was writing the piece, not least the text for the bass voices which is taken from Glinka’s song cycle Farewell to St Petersburg. Bryars writes ‘The orchestration is quite light throughout, so that the singing quality of the double bas…

Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. Among Verdi’s many compositions, as a work of sacred music, the Requiem remains unique. It was composed as a musical memorial for the Italian national poet Allessandro Manzoni, deeply admired by Verdi, and was first performed on the first anniversary of his death on 22 May 1874 in Milan Cathedral. The exploration of many extremes places Verdi’s tonal language with musical means…

Ed. Critica E. Fadini - M. Moiraghi. Par SCARLATTI DOMENICO. This critical edition of all the sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti is justified by the necessity of offering performers and scholars a text which is philologically faithful to the author’s intentions (in so far as this can be reconstructed through acomparative study of the surviving printed and manuscript sources) and which is presented as a…

Par HENZE HANS WERNER. The theme of Henze’s Ninth Symphony is his German homeland as he remembers it during the days of his youth and during the war years.

Hans-Ulrich Treichel adapted the text from a poem by Anna Seghers. Henze has calle…
