In The Violin Concerto Op. 64 and Chamber Music For Strings. Par BROWN CLIVE. Mendelssohn' s Violin Concerto op. 64, is a key work of the 19th century, adhering to the classical style of Beethoven while pointing the way to the romantic ethos of Brahms. It has long been known that Mendelssohn performed the work with three soloists in succession: Ferdinand David, who worked closely with the composer during its composition and played it at the première- the 'child prodigy' Joseph Joachim- and Hubert Léonard, a young Belgian virtuoso about whom little is known. As proof sheets for the Violin Concerto in E minor were long considered lost, it could be described as somewhat of a sensation when proofs for the solo violin part resurfaced together with a letter from Mendelssohn to Léonard. The letter informs us that the composer invited Léonard to his home in Frankfurt in order to make his acquaintance. It was already known that Mendelssohn had given proof sheets to David- now we know that he also gave some to Léonard. The recently discovered proofs reveal how Léonard played the concerto with Mendelssohn on that memorable evening in February 1845. Besides containing bowing marks and fingering, they also show how Léonard executed shifts of position and where he employed open strings. Furthermore modifications made to dynamic markings and additional legato bowing are shown. It is safe to assume that all of this was done with Mendelssohn' s approval. That the young violinist made a positive impression on the composer is confirmed in the latter' s correspondence following their joint performance. Mendelssohn is full of praise for Léonard' s playing and offers to lend his support in finding employment in Germany. This revised edition of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (only the orchestral parts remain unchanged) includes a separate booklet on performance practice. The editor, Clive Brown, is an acknowledged expert on Romantic performance practice. - New source situation owing to recently rediscovered proofs - Revised Urtext edition - With a separate booklet on performance practice (Eng/Ger)/ Livre / Livre

Oratorienfragment. Teil I: Die Geburt Christi - Teil Ii: Das Leiden Christi. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohns unfinished 3rd oratorio in its first critical edition. The parts 'Die Geburt Christi' and 'Das Leiden Christi' are presented with full orchestration. In 1852, five years after Mendelsohn’s death, two independently-performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published under the title 'Christus'. The second fragment, 'The Suffering of Jesus', comes from the middle of the Passion story: the scene 'Jesus before Pilot' is presented with rapid, dramatic alternation between the recitatives of the evangelist (tenor) and choruses of the people. A contemplative choral movement closes the fragment. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Solistes STBB, Choeur SATTBB, 2 Flûtes Traversière

SAM-Klang. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Le nom SAM-Klang reprend la premie`re lettre des parties vocales en anglais ¬? soprano, alto et men (« hommes ») - et combine cet acronyme avec le mot «Klang », signifiant «son » en danois et allemands, pour cre´er le mot-valise SAM-Klang : « son-ensemble » ou plus ge´ne´ralement, « harmonie ». La se´rie SAM-Klang propose un re´pertoire choral de base et avance´ arrange´ pour soprano, alto et voix d?hommes. Contentant de nouvelles pie`ces et des nouveaux arrangements, vous trouverez e´galement l?essentiel du re´pertoire classique allemand, scandinave, franc¸ais et anglais SATB, soigneusement retravaille´es pour SAM. Les arrangements retiennent les caracte´ristiques des mouvements originaux et simule la me^me richesse des timbres vocaux, conservant aux ?uvres leurs authenticite´ sonore dans la perception du public. Les re´ductions d?orchestre pour piano de tous les mouvements choraux faciliteront les re´pe´titions.Les arrangements offrent plus- ieurs possibilite´s de de´veloppement pour toutes les sections vocales, apportant une approche novatrice dans le qualite´ de travail des ch?urs SAM. SAM-Klang permet aux ch?urs de jeunes d?acce´der a` la litte´rature chorale classique, et garantit aux ch?urs mixtes ayant du mal a` trouver assez de voix masculines a` continuer de re´aliser les pie`ces favorites pour ch?ur. / Date parution : 2022-07-23/ Répertoire / SAM a Cappella
