Of Haydn s numerous operas only L'Isola Disabitata (The Deserted Island) has a librett by Pietro Metastasio. The plot recedes into the background in favour of the fine psychological interpretation of the feelings of the four protagonists. There are no more secco recitatives; instead the arias and ensembles and the commenting scenes with their emotionally-laden orchestral accompaniment are merged together in greater unities. The gloomy tone colours of the overture and the experimental form show the short 90-minute chamber opera called an operetta by Haydn himself in a striking distance from Italian Baroque opera perceptible evennow.The new Vocal score is based on Vol. XXV/9 of the Haydn Edition.- Based on the Urtext of the Complete Edition of Joseph Haydn Werke published by G. Henle Verlag.- Original Italian text with German singing translation.- Vocal score with clearly-marked incorporated original variants and alternative versions in an appendix.- Editorial additions in cue-sized notes.- Detailed foreword (Ger/Eng).- Performance material available for hire (BA4664-72)
