The opera Nais was premiered on 22 April 1749 at the Academie 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.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. / Chant Et Piano

Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par . On 17 November 1868, Verdi made a proposal to Tito Ricordi to form a commission to select thirteen of the most representative composers of the era, asking each of them to compose a movement of the mass to be performed on the first anniversary of the death of the composer from Pesaro. The first performance, scheduled for the following November in Bologna, had to be cancelled because of disputes and organizational differences. The manuscript of the Rossini Mass lay largely forgotten in the archives of Casa Ricordi until 1970, when it caught the attention of the musicologist David Rosen. This was followed by various studies aimed at reconstructing the performance materials, carried out by musicologists, musicians and institutions, including the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Verdiani and Casa Ricordi itself. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Edizione Critica F. Della Seta - Riduzione Per Canto E Pianoforte. Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. 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 and repurposed 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. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Chant et Piano

This second collaboration between Rameau and Cahusac makes use of the ?ballet héroïque? genre, usually known today as ?opéra-ballet? based on various story lines which run independently of each other. The score is based on a libretto inspired by Egyptian mythology and freemasonry. ? Milestone of French Baroque opera in performance practice orientated vocal score ?
