Giacomo Puccini was one of the all time great opera composers andis especially famed for his wonderful, warm-blooded melodies, hiscolourful instrumentations, his compelling dramatics, his musicalfantasy and his power to reflect exotic ambiences in sounds. ForPuccini Highlights, Wil van der Beek has made use of musical materialfrom the tenor aria â??E lucevan le stelleâ?? (Tosca), the choral aria â??Girala coteâ?? (Turandot) and the soprano aria â??Un bel di vedremoâ?? (MadamButterfly). An operatic masterpiece that will go down a storm at anyconcert.Puccini wordt geroemd om zijn warmbloedige melodieën, kleurrijke instrumentaties, meeslepende dramatiek en muzikale fantasie. Opvallend veel Puccini-ariaâ??s zijn buiten hun eigenlijke context aantrekkelijk gebleken voor de concertpraktijk.Voor Puccini Highlights heeft Wil van der Beek gebruik gemaakt van muzikaal materiaal uit de tenoraria â??E lucevan le stelleâ?? (Tosca), de kooraria â??Gira la coteâ?? (Turandot) en de sopraanaria â??Un bel divedremoâ?? (Madama Butterfly).Puccini war zweifellos einer der erfolgreichsten italienischen Opernkomponisten aller Zeiten. Viele seiner Arien haben sich auch als beliebte Konzertstücke auÃ?erhalb ihres eigentlichen Kontexts bewährt. Für Puccini Highlights verwendete Wil van der Beek musikalisches Material aus der Tenorarie E Lucevan le Stelle aus Tosca, der Chorarie Gira la Cote aus Turandot sowie der Sopranarie Un Bel di Vedremo aus Madama Butterfly.Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) est, après Verdi, lâ??un des plus grands représentants de lâ??opéra italien. Il reste célèbre pour les teintes sublimes de ses mélodies chaleureuses, ses orchestrations colorées, ses drames envo tants, sa créativité musicale et son incroyable capacité délivrer des ambiances exotiques travers des textures sonores.Parmi les classiques des opéras pucciniens, on peut citer Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Tosca, Madame Butterfly et Turandot.

SONATA CHO-CHO-SAN(Based on themes from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly)In the spirit of the great 19th-century opera fantasies for woodwinds, Michael Webster has created a concert trio on the many great arias from Puccini's Madama Butterfly. However, as its name implies, Sonata Cho-Cho-San is not the typical virtuosic operatic potpourri. Rather, it follows the plot, resembling a sonata mirroring Puccini's use of recurring and developing themes. Webster makes the most of the winds as versatile performers - equally suited to deliver Puccini's beautiful vocal writing, and to ornament and embroider the poignant themes in symphonic style. For advanced performers._______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:Born in 1944, Michael Webster made his New York recital debutat Town Hall in 1968 with his eminent father, Beveridge Webster, as pianist.
