The operas of Richard Strauss are among the most frequently performed stage works of the 20th Century. His instinct for musical shape and dramatic stage design, his brilliant orchestration as well as his collaboration with eminent writers such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal truly set his works apart. In this Richard Strauss Edition 8 works for the stage are made available for the very first time as study scores: * Two early works, Guntram and Feuersnot * Two ballets Josephs Legende and Schlagobers * The complete incidental music to Der Bürger als Edelmann (originally a part of the first version of Ariadne auf Naxos) * And three rarely performed operas, Die ägyptische Helena, Friedenstag and Die Liebe der Danae. The Richard Strauss Edition comprises 18 volumes and is available with either a linen or leather binding. Each volume contains important orchestral information, information about the first performance and a facsimile page of the autograph score.

Opernpublik um wie Fachwelt horchten auf, als Edita Gruberova 1976 an der Wiener Staatsoper die Zerbinetta in Richard Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos sang, damit einen sensationellen Erfolg erzielte und ihren Durchbruch zur Weltspitze schaffte. Seitdem ist die in Bratislava geburtige Sangerin mit allen wichtigen Partien des Belcanto und des Koloraturfaches im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes hervorgetreten. Sie hat ihre Gesangskultur weitergefuhrt, ja perfektioniert, und es dennoch immer verstanden, zu einer beseelten Darstellung zu finden.In diesem Buch schildert Niel Rishoi nicht nur den Weg der Gruberova aus der slowakischen Provinz an die grossen Opernhauser der Welt, sondern vermag es auch, das Spezifische an ihrer Stimme und die Charakteristika ihrer Interpretationen, auch auf der Buhne, herauszustellen.Auf der CD sind Ausschnitte aus Arien und Liedern mit dieser aussergewohnlichen Sangerin zu horen.

Exha usted, Ariadne fell asleep. She is dreaming, probably about the Labyrinth. Her sleep is agitated, her dream confused, incoherent. Ariadne is not safe. Even in sleep, she is afraid of something. I, too, am afraid with her.

Daed alus Remembers is the third part in a trilogy called 3 for Icarus. Daedalus was Icarus' father and a famous craftsman. He once forged a magic sword for Peleus which had a property of making its owner victorious in battle, and he also created the labyrinth of King Minos of Crete in which the Minotaur (half bull, half man) was imprisoned. The second part of the trilogy is entitled Minotaur Games after Troy games, a kind of labyrinthine dance involving cords (Ariadne's thread?). At one point in the myth Daedalus and Icarus are also imprisoned in the labyrinth. They escape by means of wings which Daedalus has made from feathers and wax. Sadly, despite his father's warnings, Icarus flies too close to the sun in a fit of hubris, and the wings melt, causing him to plunge to his death. Daedalus alights safely on a beach in Sardinia, and after he has collected his thoughts remembers his son's fall and scenes from his own past life. Have the gods paid him back for the death of his nephew Talos, whom Daedalus killed in a fit of jealousy by pushing him off the top of a temple in the Acropolis? Daedalus rants and sorrows - dark memories nag persistently. Daedalus Remembers is scored for solo cello with flugelhorn, two horns, percussion, cimbalom, harp, three violas, four cellos and two double-basses.
