Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. C'est seulement en 1713 que Vivaldi aborde l'opéra ; certaines sources parlent de 94 productions, mais seules 50 ont été identifiées. La musique de ces opéras n'ayant pas été imprimée, contrairement aux livrets, il ne reste trace (complète ou partielle) que d'une vingtaine d'opéras. Impresario du Teatro San Angelo de Venise, Vivaldi écrira la majorité de ces opéras pour ce théâtre. / Date parution : 2021-11-15/ Recueil / Basse

Ed. critica di Ivano Bettin - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frigé. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. 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. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Classique / Répertoire / Chant et Réduction Piano

Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. L'?uvre lyrique de Vivaldi reste paradoxalement méconnue : l'extraordinaire succès rencontré par un petit nombre de concertos a éclipsé tout un pan de ses compositions, notamment les opéras, auxquels il consacra pourtant l'essentiel de sa carrière. De 1713 à 1741, Vivaldi donna le jour à une ?uvre colossale, préservée en grande partie à la bibliothèque de Turin : plus de 450 compositions manuscrites, pour la majorité autographes. Créé à Vérone en janvier 1732, pour l?inauguration du Teatro Filarmonico,cet opéra est tombé dans l?oubli, malgré la beauté et la virtuosité des arias. La redécouverte du manuscrit, conservé à la bibliothèque de Turin, a permis d?en faire une édition complète, inédite, en 2004. Le matériel d'orchestre, 'urtext', a été préparé à partir de ce manuscrit. Il a été revisé par Jean-Christophe Spinosi, directeur musical de l'ensemble Matheus, et Laurence Paugam (premier violon de l'ensemble) et enregistré par cet ensemble en 2008. Le matériel d'orchestre de l'opéra La fida ninfa est disponible en location et en réduction clavier (consulter le site des Editions Buissonnières), ainsi que les airs, individuellement. / Date parution : 2013-05-02/ Répertoire / Chant et Clavier

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.'
