Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring is taken from his Cantata No. 147 and is unusually elaborate, treated more like an aria than a chorale. It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire o…

Kantate Zum 3. Sonntag Nach Trinitatis Und Für Alle Zeit. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The edition allows for the performance of this cantate in the various forms which Bach himself used. The solo parts for high voice are always allotted primarily to the voice specified by Bach in Leipzig, with the alternative authorized by the Weimar and Cöthen parts placed afterwards in brackets. / Musique religie…

Les Suites de Bach n'ont jamais été éditées pour piano à quatre mains. Ces oeuvres ont été écrites entre 1718-1723 pour le Collegium Musicum de Cöthen et pour le Collegium Musicum de Leipzig. Chaque suite comporte une instrumentation originale et spécifique qui parfois rend hommage à un instrument soliste ou un groupe d'instrument. La difficulté pour les deux interprètes sera de retrouver la riche…

Kommt, Eilet Und Laufet. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Critical new edition 2004, edited by Ulrich Leisinger: Carus 31. 249; old edition, edited by Dieter Hellmann: Carus 31. 249/50. Parody of the secula cantata 'Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen' BWV 249a. Like the Ascension Oratorio BWV 11, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter Oratorio BWV 249 is entirely and unjustly overshadowed by his t…

Hercules at the crossroads (Dramma per musica) - BWV 213. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. What does Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio¨ have to do with Hercules? More than you might think at first glance. In the fall of 1733, with the eleventh birthday of the Saxon Crown Prince Friedrich Christian fast approaching, Johann Sebastian Bach composed the secular cantata “Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen” (Let us …

Dans son arrangement virtuose pour piano de 'Widmung' de Schumann ('Du meine Seele, du mein Herz') ('Toi mon âme, toi mon coeur'), Franz Liszt transforma ce lied intimiste en une confession dramatique dont la puissance sonore culmine sur 'Mein guter Geist, mein bess'res Ich' (mon bon esprit, mon moi meilleur) avec des accords exécutés con somma passione. Dans le manuscrit autographe de Liszt, le t…

Kantate Für Einen Bußgottesdienst (Fassung In G). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. From the deep, Lord, cried I out to Thee is one of Bach's earliest cantatas. Composed in Mühlhausen in 1707, the work does not yet know the board sweep of arias and choral movements of the Leipzig days. / Date parution : 1976-02-01/ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, HautboiSBasson, Instru

Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. The Overture to Ruy Blas, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s last overture, was not composed as an autonomously conceived score, but as the opening piece of a stage work. Nevertheless, its immediate success at the Leipzig first performance in 1839, as well as the fact that no further contributions to Victor Hugo’s drama followed from Mendelssohn’s pen soon made it well …

Plus tard, il fut professeur de théorie de la musique et la composition à la Musikhochschule de Francfort.

La réputation du compositeur Bohême Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) a toujours été quelque peu éclipsée par celle de Bedrich Smetana et Antonín Dvorák. C'est fort dommage, pour Fibich, bien qu'il est mort jeune, apporté une contribution tout aussi importante à l'émergent styl national tchèque avec son large éventail de compositions. Après le début des leçons de piano avec sa mère comme son premier maîtr…

Kantate zum 1. Sonntag nach Epiphanias. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Among the vocal compositions incorrectly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, the cantata has a place of its own, because its tonal language approaches the unmistakable style of the Thomaskantor. This applies especially to its choral movements and recitatives. In the surviving sources, only one of which dates back to the 18th centu…

This edition completes our series of all three clarinet concertos by the Swedish composer and clarinettist Bernhard Henrik Crusell. Issued in Leipzig in 1811, it was his first published work but had definitely been composed several years prior to this. With its elegant head movement and the simple and moving Adagio, it is probably the most 'Mozartian? of all of his three concertos, although the fi…

Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio'), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourf…
