Antonio Vivaldi: Opera Arias For Soprano: Opera: Vocal Album

Aria pour mezzo (composé à l'origine pour mezzo-castrato) Extrait du pasticcio Andromeda liberata Format 22,5 x 32 cm, Couverture cartonnée. 20 pages : 1 conducteur clavier (piano), 1 conducteur chant, violon solo. Partition musicale (musical score) : Arrangement pour clavier (piano) Extrait d'Andromeda liberata, l'air Sovvente il sole offre une ligne mélodique magnifique, un dialogue émouvant entre le héros Persée et le violon solo. S'inspirant de la légende grecque d'Andromède, le pasticcio conte le sacrifice d'une princesse d'Ethiopie Andromède, offerte par son peuple au dieu Poséidon, afin d'étancher sa soif de vengeance et qui fut sauvée de justesse par le valeureux Persée. Andromeda Liberata serait un pasticcio, auquel auraient contribué Giovanii Porta, Tomaso Albinoni, et peut-être Niccola Porpora. Le manuscrit, daté de 1726, a été retrouvé en 2002 dans les archives du Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello, à Venise. Seul l'air Sovvente il sole, avec violon obligé, est attribué avec certitude à Antonio Vivaldi. Sovente il sole risplende in cielo, più bello e vago se oscura nube già l'offuscò. E il mar tranquillo quasi senza onda talor si scorge, se ria procella già lo turbò. Souvent le soleil resplendit dans le ciel, plus beau et agréable si un sombre nuage l'a d'abord assombri. Et la mer calme, presque sans vagues, on ne peut l'apercevoir que si une rude tempête l'a d'abord troublée. Cet aria a été enregistré par Philippe Jaroussky et l'ensemble Matheus sur le CD Heros - VIVALDI - opera arias (2006), ainsi que par Nathalie Stutzmann et l'ensemble Orfeo 55, sur le CD Prima dionna (2010).

The present reduction derives from the critical edition of the score, published in this catalog in November 2019. Antonio Vivaldi?s La Dorilla, a heroic-pastoral opera on a libretto by Antonio Maria Lucchini, was premiered at the Teatro Sant?Angelo in Venice on 6 November 1726. Six years later it was revived in a much shortened and altered form at the Sporck Theatre in Prague. In 1734 it returned for the last time to the Venetian stage at the Teatro Sant?Angelo, where, despite being greatly revised, it was once again successful. Many of its recitatives had been shortened and several arias replaced, some with movements borrowed from other operas by Vivaldi and some with arias taken from ones by other composers, such as Johann Adolf Hasse, Geminiano Giacomelli, Domenico Sarro and Leonardo Leo. The adaptation was the work of the Venetian man of letters Bartolomeo Vitturi, who adjusted the libretto with the precise aim of satisfying the demands of the public, which wished to hear the most famous pieces by the composers who were fashionable in those years. This vocal-score edition includes a synthetic introduction of the historical context, the description of the main source employed and a choice of the critical Notes to the musical text.

Soprano coloratura/lirico - Lyric Coloratura to Lyric Soprano ~ A cura di - edited by Ilaria Narici-A selection of 37 arias for voice and piano with plot synopses and translations in Italian and English.

The surviving second and third acts of Catone in Utica, one of Metastasio's most dramatic libretti, premiered in Verona in the spring of 1737 in a setting by Vivaldi, contain some of his finest, most mature, and most original arias, and are published here for the first time. They evince a potential dramatic intensity that makes us regret all the more the loss of the first act. Only one aria of Act I can be definitely recovered from a surviving opera, but the rest has now also been successfully reconstructed by Alessandro Ciccolini, whose intimate knowledge of Vivaldi's working methods, combined with brilliant stylistic insight won universal acclaim for his work on Vivaldi's Motezuma and Ercole sul Termodoonte. Ciccolini has also composed cadenzas and da capo variations for all the arias, published here in an appendix.A complete recording under the direction of Alan Curtis is available from Naïve Records(OP30545).Press Quotes:'[For his completion,] Alessandro Ciccolini, who, mindful that Vivaldi frequently adapted vocal music for his instrumental works and vice versa, has composed the missing passages using themes from the concertos as his starting point. His arias dovetail beautifully with Vivaldi's scheme of things...' The Guardian'Ciccolini and Curtis deserve enormous credit for transforming an incomplete obscurity into a coherent and compelling opera.'Gramophone'The opera survives incomplete, but this is a fascinating and apt reconstruction and there is some marvellous stuff here.'
