The opera ?Na s? was premiered on 22 April 1749 at the Académie royale in the Palais-Royal Paris in celebration of the signing of the so-called Treaty of Aachen. It was revived again in August 1764 shortly before Rameau?s death and achieved great success as the ?opera of peace ? even though it did not appear in print during the composer?s lifetime.In numerous arias Rameau provides his singers ample opportunity to shine while he reveals his orchestral mastery in particular in the chaconne and the various other ballets.The work appears here for the first time in a vocal score with a keyboard reduction. The reduction is by François Saint-Yves on the basis ofthe new critical edition by Pascal Denécheau which is part of Opera Omnia Rameau edited by Sylvie Bouissou.This edition is the result of a meticulous comparison of all known musical sources. In the main section it presents the version that Rameau approved for the performances of 1749. The appendix contains those passages that the composer cut during the rehearsals in 1749 and all changes that he undertook for the 1764 revival. Baroque opera in honour of the conciliation of Europe on the occasion of the Treaty of Aachen First practical performing edition with a keyboard reduction Based on the complete edition Opera Omnia Rameau (OOR)- Full score (BA8857)

An original and exciting collection of anthems and other choral pieces written for the Orthodox Church and inspired by the Church in Russia, selected by Ralph Allwood. Partly because of the re-emergence of the Church in the former Soviet Union, interest in Christian musical sources alternative to the great body of the Anglican and other Western Christian traditions has grown sharply in recent years. Though the works presented here may be unfamiliar, they are all masterly. Designed to appeal to choirs of various levels, the collection includes a Kontakion and Ikos for the funeral service, anthems by Great Russian Romantics: Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Grechaninov - and composers from our age: Stravinsky, Schnittke, or Arvo Part speaking for a tradition outside the Orthodox Church, as well as settings of the Lord's Prayer in both Russian and English by John Tavener. / Chant Et Piano

Edizione critica F. Della Seta - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte-Composed in 1818 on commission from an unknown individual in Lisbon Adina was left to languish some years until its premiere in 1826 with a single performance in that city remaining virtually the only one on record until the opera's revival in 1963. The present vocal score is based on the critical edition of the orchestral full score prepared by Fabrizio Della Seta and published by the Fondazione Rossini of Pesaro in collaboration with Casa Ricordi. This Edition reconstructs for the first time the structure of the autograph score which reflects the collective contributions of at least five different hands: having composed only four entirely new numbers andrepurposed another three from Sigismondo Rossini relied upon collaborators and copyists for the remainder of the music. Della Seta's detailed examination of this fundamental document (housed at the Fondazione Rossini) together with an informed assessment of the secondary sources including a complete manuscript copy (housed at the British Library in London) various manuscript vocal parts with Rossini's autograph interventions (housed in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels) and the first edition of the vocal score published by Ricordi between 1855 and 1859 additionally reveals how the libretto printed in Lisbon for that single historic performance in 1826 differed substantially from the narrative disposition of the autograph score with ample cuts and modifications (among those the suppression of the Aria Alì and the addition of a Coro). While neither attributable to Rossini himself nor pertaining to his original conceptual design of the opera this Coro the music of which survives in the first vocal score is included as an Appendix to the edition.
