After the extraordinary success of 'Rigoletto', Verdi who was constantly looking for material for an opera came across 'El trobador', a play by the Spaniard Antonio Garcia Gutierrez. The transformation of the original into a libretto that met Verdi's demands turned out to be difficult. Although the libretto is said to suffer from a great lack of quality, the opera audience is agreed that 'The Troubadour' is unsurpassed in its temperament and immense verve.Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and his life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

This piece, as the title might suggest, brings together Verdi’s greatest operatic triumphs. Amongst his best hits are Nabucco from 1842, which signified a turn-around after the flop of a previous opera, as well as Rigoletto, which in 1851 propelled him to international fame. Verdi’s Triumphs features: Triumphmarch and Su! Del nilo al sacro lido from Aida, the Prisoners’ Freedom Choir from Nabucco and La donna è mobile from Rigoletto. Zoals de titel al doet vermoeden, brengt dit werk de grootste triomfen van Verdi samen. Zijn bekendste opera’s zijn ongetwijfeld Nabucco uit 1842, maar ook Rigoletto uit 1851. Deze opera’s bezorgden hem eeuwige roem. In Verdi’s Triumphs vinden we de Triumphmarch en Su! Del nilo al sacro lido uit Aida, het Prisoners’ Freedom Choir uit Nabucco en La donna è mobile uit Rigoletto terug. Zu Verdis größten Triumphen zählen sicherlich die Opern Nabucco von 1842, die eine Wende nach einigen Misserfolgen markierte, Rigoletto, die ihm 1851 zum internationalen Durchbruch verhalf und Aida, die er zur Eröffnung des Suezkanals schrieb. Auch aus heutiger Sicht sind gerade diese Werke besonders bekannt und beliebt. Daher wählte Wil van der Beek für sein Arrangement die folgenden Titel: Triumphmarsch und Su! Del nilo al sacro lido aus Aida, den Chor der Gefangenen aus Nabucco sowie La donna è mobile aus Rigoletto. Cette oeuvre comme le titre l'indique, rassemble les plus grands trimphes d'opéras de Verdi. On retrouve bien entendu Nabucco, Aida ainsi que Rigoletto. Verdi's Triumphs contient les titres suivants : Marche Trimphale ! Del nilo al sacro lido extrait d'Aida, Prisoners' Freedom Choir extrait de Nabucco et La donna è mobile de Rigoletto Dopo oltre un secolo dalla loro creazione, le opere di Verdi dominano ancora il repertorio dell’arte lirica. Nabucco (1842), Rigoletto (1851) e Aida (composta in occasione dell’inaugurazione del Canale di Suez), tra le altre, sono entrate nell’olimpo dell’opera. Verdi’s Triumphs di Wil van der Beek raccoglie quattro temi molto popolari: la Marcia trionfale e Su! Del Nilo al sacro lido dall’Aida, il Coro degli Schiavi dal Nabucco e La donna è mobile dal Rigoletto.

The Works of Giuseppe Verdi is the first critical edition of the composer's oeuvre. Together with his operas, the series offers his songs, choral music and sacred pieces, and string quartet and other instrumental works. This edition of Rigoletto is based on Verdi's autograph score and an array of additional sources, including contemporary manuscript copies, early editions, and performing parts. It also takes into consideration the abbozzo published in facsimile in 1941, an autograph manuscript containing sketch fragments and a complete continuity draft of the opera. The edition identifies and resolves numerous ambiguities of harmony, melodic detail, text, and phrasing that have marred previous scores. In addition, it reinstates theoriginal reading of several lines of the libretto, which had been censored prior to the opera's first performance in Venice in 1851.Martin Chusid's extensive introduction and critical commentary to the score discuss this and other matters of censorship and shed light on the genesis, sources, and performance history of Rigoletto.
