Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti full name Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti is best known for his operatic works but he also wrote music in a number of other forms totalling more than 600 pieces. Clarinet Concertino In B flat is one of Donizetti's less famous pieces and is a challenging yet pleasant piece of music.

Lucia di Lammermoor de Gaetano Donizetti, ecrit sur un livret de Salvadore Cammarano, a ete cree au Teatro di San Carlo de Naples le 26 septembre 1835. Il est reste au repertoire sans interruption comme l'un des operas les plus populaires de Donizetti tout au long de son existence de pres de 200 ans. L'edition propose comme texte principal une version de l'opera qui, en majeure partie, est aussi fidele que possible a celle donnee lors de la premiere a Naples. L'edition critique retablit les tonalites originales, conservant ainsi la conception harmonique globale de Donizetti, mais aborde les transpositions qui sont entrees plus tard dans la tradition d'interpretation et d'edition de l'opera. Nous presentons ici la reduction pour voix et piano. / Partitions classique / Vocale - chorale / Voix solo - piano / RICORDI

Une vie simple : ainsi pourrait-on résumer celle du compositeur Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) né à Bergame, ville qui a désormais renommé son opéra en hommage à sa gloire locale. Mais il en va autrement de
ses inventions musicales qui ont marqué un véritable tournant à la suite de Rossini et ont offert au Théâtre San Carlo de Naples certaines de ses plus belles soirées. Venu chercher la gloire à Paris, Donizetti y finira péniblement ses jours, tristement atteint de maladie, mais laissant des chefs-d?oeuvre musicaux tels Lucia di Lamermoor, L?elisir d?amor ou Don Pasquale, preuves d?un talent musical indéniable et d?un sens aigu de l?action dramatique. / Livre /

Edizione critica a cura di Claudio Toscani (testi in italiano e inglese). La fille du régiment, always one of Donizetti?s most popular stage works, was first performed at the Théâtre de l?Opéra-Comique in Paris on 11 February 1840. It was composed by Donizetti, to a libretto by Saint-Georges and Bayard, in 1839, for the French debut of soprano Juliette Bourgeois. Later on, Donizetti prepared an Italian version as well, using a libretto adaptation by Calisto Bassi, and making several alterations to the French version of the score (the premiere of the new version, entitled La figlia del reggimento, took place at La Scala Theatre in Milano on 3 October 1840). The opera enjoyed tremendous success ? at the Opéra-Comique alone, more than one thousand performances were given between 1840 and 1917 ?, and was widely staged in the major European and American opera houses. Owing to the lack of available autograph music sources ? only a few score sketches and fragments survive, kept at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France ?, the principal source for this edition is the printed score prepared by the Parisian publisher Georges Schonenberger during the spring of 1840. Together with the full score, Schonenberger also engraved and printed the orchestral parts. Previously, the publishing house had printed the piano vocal score of several selected numbers from La fille du régiment, as well as the complete score reduction of the work. The Schonenberger edition constitutes, however, a problematical source. The engravers had to work under great pressure - the score was assembled in less than a month -, and the final product turned out to be of mediocre quality, abounding in imperfections, errors, and inconsistencies affecting both the literary and the musical texts. This critical edition has therefore been realized, first of all, through a careful reconstruction process: the text handed down by tradition was compared with a number of sources (including the manuscript scores of the Italian version) that have enabled the editor to address the multiple problems posed by the principal source. The spoken dialogues, missing in the printed music sources, are derived from the libretto used for the première. The critical edition of La fille du régiment reinstates Tonio?s romance «Pour me rapprocher de Marie» from Act Two, included in the original libretto and actually sung at the première, but expunged from the Schonenberger edition of the score. Donizetti himself cut the romance soon after the première, possibly because of the tenor?s poor performance - as a result, the omission became customary. The appendices to this critical edition present, additionally, two unpublished variants, handed down in form of complete and autograph score: these pieces, crossed out or modified through the compositional process, add fresh new possibilities to current performance practices. The first one is a duet for Marie and Tonio that Donizetti had originally devised for Act Two, but later deleted from the score. The second one is a preliminary draft of the Act Two Finale, later expunged and replaced, in both music and literary text, by the final version.

'Lucia di Lammermoor' was one of the biggest triumphs of Donizetti's career and remains as his outstanding masterpiece. The libretto was written by Salvatore Cammarano based on Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Bride of Lammermoor'.The story runs as follows: Lord Enrico Ashton is outraged to find that his sister Lucia is in love with his mortal enemy Edgardo. He tricks Lucia into believing Edgardo unfaithful and insists she marry Lord ArturoBucklaw. The wedding takes place disrupted by Edgardo who curses Lucia. Lucia begins to lose her mind and when Enrico challenges Edgardo to a duel Lucia kills Arturo then collapses and dies herself. On hearing the tragicnews Edgardo kills himself.This is the Schirmer edition of the Libretto with text in the original Italian with an English translation by Glen Sauls.

Gaetono Donizetti's 'The Elixir Of Love' (L'Elisir D'Amore) remains an important work in the repertory of major opera houses of the twenty-first century. It is a good-natured story in which the peasant Nemorino attempts to winthe heart of his love Adina through the ingestion of a farcical magic elixir (which is in fact merely Bordeaux!). Nemorino's aria 'Una furtiva lagrima ' is the most famous excerpt from the opera.
