Safe within their cocoons, butterflies only become vulnerable when they emerge to enchant the world with their beauty. Madama Butterfly has been breaking hearts for over a century with its tragic tale of an innocent Japanese girl who abandons her faith and her family to marry an American naval lieutenant. Giacomo Puccini created a dozen operas, many of them rooted in his fascination with exotic lands and foreign cultures. Inspired by a London performance of one-act play by American playwright David Belasco, the composer developed an emotionally charged musical score to accompany this tale of devotion, tradition, and sacrifice. The opera's most famous aria, Un bel dà vedremo (One beautiful day, we will see), in which the heroine professes her faith in her lover, ranks among the most popular works in the soprano repertoire. Dovunque al mondo (Throughout the world) characterizes Butterfly's American officer with a musical theme based on The Star Spangled Banner. Other highlights include the endings of each of the three acts: the extended love duet Vogliatemi bene (Love me, please.); the wordless beauty of Coro a bocca chiusa, (Humming Chorus); and the climactic aria Con onor muore (To die with honor). This authoritative 1906 edition of one the world's most beloved operas features the original Italian lyrics.

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).

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.
