Das Theater der Wiederholungen [The Theatre of Repetitions], Bernhard Lang‘s magnum opus, is divided into three large sections, three narratives set in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries respectively. The theatre of repetitions is a reference to Gilles Deleuze and the specific compositional principle developed by Bernhard Lang, already hinting at the work‘s programmatic content („a possible story of cruelty“). (Wolfgang Reiter)

The Voyevoda was Tchaikovsky’s first opera and was based on the comedy A Dream on the Volga, Scenes from Popular Life of the 17th Century by Ostrovsky. It was premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1869 and was very well received. The Russian musicologist Odoyovsky wrote “This opera guarantees a great future for Tchaikovsky.” This performance was recorded in 1982.

In 1849, the translator, poet and playwright Lev Mey (1822-1862) wrote a drama The Tsar’s Bride based on one of the passages from the era of Ivan the Terrible’s reign. In 1868, Mily Balakirev drew Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s attention to Mey’s work. However, the composer set to creating an opera based on the plot of The Tsar’s Bride only thirty years later. He began his work in February 1898 and completed it in ten months. Almost without changing Mey’s plot, Rimsky-Korsakov enhanced the dramatic qualities of The Tsar’s Bride with his musical means. The opera was premiered in the autumn of 1899 at a Moscow theatre of the industrialist and patron Savva Mamontov with Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov being the conductor. The Tsar’s Bride, a sample of realistic drama, is one of the most popular works for musical theatre at the present time. The performance of 1973 presented on these CDs brought together great artists of Russian stage - Evgeny Nesterenko, Galina Vishnevskaya, Vladimir Atlantov, Irina Arkhipova and others.

S. Prokofiev - Betrothal in a Monastery - Lyrico-comical opera in 4 acts

S. Prokofiev - Betrothal in a Monastery - Lyrico-comical opera in 4 acts

CDs: 2
Type: CD
Collection: Opera Collection
Subcollection: Voices and Orchestra

The opera Betrothal in a Monastery (The Duenna) takes a special place not only in Prokofiev's career, but also in the history of Russian Soviet music theatre. It is the first lyrical and comic opera. Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comedy fascinated Prokofiev at once. Having read the play, Prokofiev exclaimed, "This is champagne! It can make an opera à la Mozart or Rossini." The composer immediately started writing the libretto using the English original and translating it into Russian. Prokofiev's wife Mira Mendelson was an author of the rhymed verse. Prokofiev composed the music within a shortest period of time - during the summer and early autumn of 1940. The premiere of the opera was expected at the Stanislavsky Musical Theatre in summer of 1941, but World War II did not let it happen. The first performance took place as late as in November of 1946, at the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad and received acclaim of critics and audience alike. The opera performed by the soloists, choir and orchestra of the State Musical Theatre of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko conducted by Kamil Abdullayev was recorded by Firma Melodiya in 1963 and awarded an André Messager prize of Academy of Lyric Recordings of France in 1967.

CDs: 2
Type: CD
Collection: Ballet Music
Subcollection: Voices and Orchestra

“Giselle” was shown on the Bolshoi Theatre stage in 1843 after it had charmed the Parisian audience surviving the triumphant birth at the Grand Opera and gaining popularity among Saint Petersburg residents. The ballet was to the taste of Russian music lovers, and since then it has never left the main Moscow stage. The music of the ballet presented on the disks corresponds to Grigorovich production that was performed in cooperation with the conductor Alexander Kopylov. The fragments that had not been issued by Adolphe Adam’s pen were still preserved and within the 19th century they were considered an inseparable part of the music of the ballet. The name of a little known composer Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) became famous due to “Giselle” that won the international recognition. The idea seemed so intriguing to him that he managed to compose music to the ballet within a week. Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) “GISELLE” (“Wilis”), Ballet in Two Acts. Characters: Giselle, a peasant girl Count Albrecht Berthe, Giselle’s mother Bathilde, betrothed to Albrecht Duke of Courland, Bathilde’s father Wilfred, sword-bearer to the Duke Hans, a gamekeeper Giselle’s friends Myrtha, the Queen of the Wilis Two Wilis. Soloists: Sergei Amidyan, oboe (No. 13), Leonid Kaplan, alt (No.15) The Bolshoi Theatre Symphony Orchestra. Conductor - ALEXANDER KOPYLOV Recorded in 1987. Sound engineer: P. Kondrashin

Maestro Vladimir Spivakov - J.S. Bach - Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra

Maestro Vladimir Spivakov  - J.S. Bach - Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra
ID: MELCD1002301
CDs: 2
Type: CD
Collection: Baroque
Subcollection: Voices and Orchestra

For the anniversary of maestro Vladimir Spivakov, Firma Melodiya presents a unique, previously unreleased recording of the Moscow Virtuosi chamber orchestra made on 28 December 1988 in the Big Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.

From the first years of their existence, the Moscow Virtuosi, founded by Vladimir Spivakov, lived up to the highest standards of mastery on both domestic and global scales. It was a genuine 'orchestra of soloists' comprising prize-winners of domestic and international competitions, concertmasters of the best orchestras of Moscow many of whom could count on a brilliant solo career.

Although the Virtuosi spent a lot of time in the studio, it is the orchestra’s concert recordings that convey the atmosphere of a living, inspired contact with the audience.

The charitable activities Vladimir Spivakov has been involved in for many years now are evidence of his great human responsiveness, his desire to support talented children and his empathy for people’s suffering. The pre-New Year concert of 1988 was a fundraising event to benefit the Armenian children who suffered in the earthquake.

The concert, comprising music of Johann Sebastian Bach, featured other prominent musicians as well - Mikhail Pletnev, Araxia Davtian, an Honoured Artist of the Armenian SSR, and Bernard Soustrot, a world renowned French trumpeter. However, Adagio from the Easter Oratorio for oboe and orchestra performed instead of an encore by Alexei Utkin, an oboist and future founder of the Hermitage Ensemble, was a genuine climax of the event. The music reflecting upon passions of Christ’s earthly life sounded like a requiem for the tens of thousands of people who were buried alive in Spitak and Leninakan.
