Edizione critica a cura di Claudio Toscani-EDIZIONE NAZIONALE DELLE OPERE DI GIOVANNI BATTISTA PERGOLESI (Casa Ricordi in collaborazione con la Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini di Jesi) Based on the anonymous recasting of a libretto derived in turn from La fede tradita e vendicata by Francesco Silvani (1705) Il prigionier superbo by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was first performed on 5 September 1733 at the Teatro di San Bartolomeo in Naples. With this opera ? his second dramma serio for San Bartolomeo in less than two years ? the young composer (who had already acquired considerable professional stature in the city?s theatres churches and aristocratic circles) reprised a perennially popular subject centered aroundthe dramatic conflict between filial piety and devotion to one?s betrothed. Inserted between the opera?s three acts were the intermezzi of La serva padrona which would soon go on to take all of Europe by storm. The primary source for this edition is a manuscript copy of the score currently housed in the Conservatorio di Musica ?San Pietro a Majella? in Naples and prepared by Giuseppe Sigismondo who was quite probably working from the now-lost autograph. Two other significant manuscript copies of the score also housed in Naples (respectively in the Biblioteca Oratoriana dei Girolamini and the aforementioned conservatory) were consulted along with a number of manuscript copies of individual arias. The edition is furnished with a historical introduction which traces the libretto?s complicated literary lineage and illustrates the circumstances of the opera?s commission genesis premiere and subsequent history: and a critical apparatus containing detailed source descriptions and critical notes for both the text and the music. An earlier version of the last movement of the Sinfonia and an aria for the third act whose text does not appear in the original printed libretto are provided as appendices.

Ed. critica di Ivano Bettin - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frig'-Some few months after returning to Naples from Rome where he had gone to follow the premiere of L'Olimpiade at the Teatro Tordinona during the 1735 carnival season Giovanni Battista Pergolesi '' notwithstanding the quickened pace of the disease that would soon bring his brief life to a close ' presented the public with a new work Il Flaminio a 'commedeja pe' mmuseca' set to a libretto by Gennarantonio Federico. The opera was staged as the second of season that fall at the Teatro Nuovo sopra Toledo (one of three traditional venues together with the Teatro dei Fiorentini and the Teatro della Pace dedicated to the production of opere bu e) where it met with a generally favorable reception. The edition includes a historical Introduction a description of all the sources considered and a Commentary with critical notes and information related to specific problems of performance practice.

The Stabat Mater is considered to be of 13th century Franciscan origin. In the 15th century it was used as a sequence in connection with the new mass of the compassion of the Virgin Mary and became an official part of the Roman liturgy in 1727.Picturing the darkest hour in the passion story the poet poignantlydescribes Mary the mother of Christ broken by suffering weepingat the foot of the cross.The setting by Pergolesi composed in Naples Italy shortly before hisdeath from tuberculosis at the young age of 26 is recognized as amasterpiece. Pergolesi has cleverly combined 2 styles: the learnedcounterpoint of the style Antico and the new decorative languageof the Neopolitan opera. Composer/critic Jean-Jacques Rousseau calledthe opening movement 'the most perfect and touching duet to come fromthe pen of any composer'. The final amen can be heard at the end ofthe movie Amadeus. Mozart greatly admired the music of Pergolesi.The complete work was first published in London in 1749. The excerptsthat were chosen for this edition work extraordinarily well withyoung treble voice choir.Included In Collection:1. Stabat Mater Dolorosa- Mvt 1.2. Quae Moerebat Et Dolebat- Mvt 4.3.
