“Almiraâ€, Handel’s first opera, was well received when premiered in 1705 at the Theater am Gänsemarkt in Hamburg. The director was Reinhard Keiser, who, remarkably, had himself already set Friedrich Christian Feustking’s text to music. The role of Fernando was sung by Johann Mattheson. The translation used by Handel leaves several Italian arias in their original language, resulting in a delightful mixture of German and Italian.The opera which, after sundry entangled romances, ends in the wedding of three couples, is characterised by exuberant scenes: the procession at Almira’s crowning ceremony, a duel, a prison scene and a masked-ball involving the three continents Europe, Africa and Asia. The vocal score to “Almira†by George Frideric Handel brings about a small sensation: Whilst conducting a reenactment of this work in 1732, Georg Philipp Telemann removed the Aria no. 28 “Ingrato, spietato†from his conducting score. Since then this aria has been deemed lost. Due to necessity only the edited vocal text devoid of any music was presented in the 1994 volume of the “Halle Handel Editionâ€. Thanks to a recently discovered contemporary manuscript copy from the beginning of the 18th century which was found in the music library of the Mariengymnasium in Jever, this aria has now been made available to performers for the first time in this new vocal score edition. Previous to this the corresponding pages could only be seen as a facsimile in an article of the “Göttinger Händel-Beiträgeâ€.Now the aria can be performed again. Furthermore, with the help of this new source, missing measures in the basso continuo which had initially been completed by the editor of the “Halle Handel Edition†volume, could be reconstructed from the basso continuo part of the Bellante aria “Ich brenne zwar†(no. 71).

This was Handel’s first opera for London, first performed at the theatre in the Haymarket in February 1711. It was strong in both music (including recomposed versions of some movements that Handel had previously written for his operas in Italy) and staging: a contemporary described the opera as ‘filled with Thunder and Lightening, Illuminations and Fireworks’.

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. Il est également frappant de constater que de nombreux airs de Puccini, même sortis de leur contexte dâ??origine, sont parfaitement adaptés une interprétation en concert.Pour réaliser cet arrangement, Wil van derBeek a puisé dans le tissu musical de lâ??air pour ténor E lucevan le stelle (Tosca), dans le ch?ur dâ??opéra Gira la cote! Gira! (Turandot) et dans lâ??air pour soprano Un bel di vedremo (Madame Butterfly).
