Enchanted London

Musique de scène-“An enchanted dream” – these words from poet Charles Van Leberghe give an idea of the public’s enthusiasm for the first English language performance on June 21 1898 of Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist play. Staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre the play was translated by Jack W. Mackail with stage music composed by Gabriel Fauré. Occupied by various administrative tasks the composer asked his favourite student Charles Koechlin to orchestrate the score in May 1898. The London theatre’s limited instrumental staff corresponded perfectly to the apprentice musician’s ideals of clarity and transparency.Established by Roger Nichols and Otfrid Nies this trilingual edition (French – English – German) is based on signed manuscripts and distinguishes itself through a 60-page critical commentary that precisely retraces the birth of the work. The book presents for the first time the complete incidental music written for the London premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande with the aim of staying true to Koechlin’s original annotated version. Koechlin’s orchestration is equal to the work: a model of clarity and refinement.

Operas in three acts Version of the premiere, London 1737. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. “Charming Berenice” – the Earl of Shaftesbury attended a rehearsal of the opera on 12 May 1737 and went into raptures about this “inexpressible delight”. “Berenice” was premiered at Covent Garden Theatre in London just a few days later on 18 May 1737. “Berenice” is one of the “light” operas and offers a wealth of musical gems, the second movement of the overture having become famous as “The Minuet from Berenice”, for instance, as has Berenice’s extended aria in the third act, in which she reflects on the inconstancy of the god Amor in duet with the solo oboist. The musical imagery which Handel worked into the opera is likewise enchanting, such as the imitation of bees humming in Fabio’s “Vedi l’ape” and the sorrowful cooing of a dove in Selene’s “Tortorella che rimira”. The scholarly-critical new edition contains the musical text of the first performance together with pieces in the appendix which Handel excised or shortened in preparation for the premiere. As is customary with our editions, a preface provides a detailed introduction to the genesis of the work, the story’s historical context, the source material and reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a translation of the libretto and an exhaustive Critical Report./ Répertoire / Opéra
