Im Oktober 2002 gaben sie ihr erstes Konzert im Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris mit den „Musiche a voce sola“ des italienischen Komponisten Benedetto Ferrari. Diese Musik wurde vom französischen Label Ambroisie auf CD eingespielt und erhielt bedeutende Aus- zeichnungen. Die Diskographie des Ensembles umfasst neben Benedetto Ferraris „Musiche a voce sola“ zwei erfolgreiche Alben für Virgin Classics: Virtuose Kantaten von Vivaldi und „Be- ata Vergine“ mit italienischen Marienkompositi- onen des 17. Jahrhunderts. „Er ist der beste Countertenor der Gegenwart“, so Spiegel online über Philippe Jaroussky, der sich als einer der großen Sänger unserer Zeit international etabliert hat.

Philippe Jaroussky wurde 1978 geboren und studierte Violine, Klavier und Kompositi- on an den Musikakademien von Versailles und Boulogne. Sein Gesangsstudium begann er 1996 bei Nicole Fallien, daran schlossen sich Studien in Alter Musik bei Michel Laplenie und Kenneth Weiss an der Ecole de Musique National-Ré- gional in Paris an.

    ©Photo : OpéraNationaldeLorraine Artaserse LEONARDO VINCI (1690 – 1730) > OPERA 2012 HDTV Opera (dramma per musica) in three acts filmeD aT Opéra national de Lorraine Libretto Pietro Mestastasio in November 2012 Created at Theatro Delle Dame, Roma – 4 February 1730 tv DirecTor Louise Narboni This was the last opera Vinci composed running Time 1 x 190’ Artaserse Artistic Information synopsis The main character of Metastasio’s Artaserse is based on the life of king Artaxerxes I of Persia, a ruler of the fifth century B.C., son of Xerxes I. The opera opens in a moonlit garden of the palace of Serse (Xerxes). Mandane, the daughter of King Serse, and Arbace, the son of the King’s general Artabano, are in love. Serse has opposed their marriage and banished Arbace from the palace. Arbace climbs the wall into the garden. As the young lovers express their love for each other and their despair at Arbace’s banishment, Artabano arrives carrying a bloody sword. His fury at Serse’s treatment of his son and his desire for Arbace to become King have led him to assassinate Serse. Artabano confesses the murder to Arbace and exchanges his bloody sword for that of Arbace. Artaserse, the King’s younger son, arrives with his guards. Artabano tells him of his father’s death and accuses Artaserse’s older brother Dario of the murder, « Who but he at dead of night could penetrate the palace? Who approach the royal bed? Nay, more, his royal ambition... » Artaserse commands Artabano to avenge his father’s death by killing Dario.

  • Transcripts of Dramatic Musical Works in Full Score
    TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS MUSIC DIVISION Compiled by Susan Clermont Senior Music Specialist Library of Congress Music Division A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF TRANSCRIPTS OF DRAMATIC MUSICAL WORKS IN FULL SCORE AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS This bibliography comprises close to 700 transcripts of dramatic musical works in full score copied from original music manuscripts and early imprints for the Library of Congress’s Music Division between 1903 and 1939. The original sources were located in over three dozen European libraries in Austria, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Russia. The majority of the operas cited in this document date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; about fifteen percent are reproductions of nineteenth-century works. Also included in this bibliography are transcripts of incidental music for dramas, melodramas, ballets, and pantomimes (see Appendix B). Finally, Appendix C comprises a short list of instrumental works, mostly for viola da gamba, that were transcribed over a two-year period when the parameters of this project were provisionally broadened. In 1902, a new set of guidelines for the systematic development of the newly-reorganized Music Division’s collections was instituted: opera immediately received a considerable share of attention because, “the peculiar condition of opera in the United States seemed to demand that a center of reference and research be created for the students of opera.” [Oscar Sonneck, Dramatic Music: Catalogue of Full Scores…, 1908] Accordingly, a series of “want lists” were compiled; however, when it was determined after a comprehensive search that hundreds of items included on the Music Division’s desiderata list for operas in full score were unprocurable in manuscript or print versions, the option of contracting copyists to generate transcripts was explored.

  • Ian Page and the Mozartists Rerelease Thomas Arne's Restored
    Ian Page and The Mozartists rerelease Thomas Arne’s restored opera Artaxerxes Signum Records to release reissue on 14 May 2021 Arne: Artaxerxes by The Mozartists and Ian Page “The performance is thrilling, with exemplary singing and playing.” GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE Ian Page and The Mozartists are rereleasing their highly praised recording of Thomas Arne’s Artaxerxes on Signum Records, available from 14 May 2021. Following critically acclaimed performances at the Royal Opera House in 2009, Ian Page and The Mozartists recorded Thomas Arne’s rarely-heard opera Artaxerxes in 2010. The opera was originally premiered at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden in 1762, and the young Mozart almost certainly heard at least one performance during his childhood visit to London in 1764-65. When Haydn came to London in the 1790s he reportedly said that he “had no idea we had such an opera in the English language”. In November 2009, the Royal Opera House staged the opera’s return to Covent Garden after an absence of more than 150 years, mounting a fully-staged production created by director Martin Duncan for the Linbury Theatre. Though the full libretto for Artaxerxes has survived through the centuries, the music for the recitatives and finale of Artaxerxes has been lost. This created an opportunity for Ian Page and composer Duncan Druce to create a new performing edition of Artaxerxes that completes the partially lost opera. Following nine sold-out performances at the Royal Opera House, the Classical Opera Company (now The Mozartists) recorded the opera with 5 of the 6 original cast, including Elizabeth Watts, Rebecca Bottone, Caitlin Hulcup, Christopher Ainslie, Andrew Staples and Daniel Norman.

  • Concerto Köln
    W E I G O L D & B Ö H M International Ensemble Artaserse Artists & Tours In 2002, after long collaboration in the most prestigious baroque ensembles in France and Europe, several musicians decided to form the Ensemble Artaserse. Those friends were Christine Plubeau (viola da gamba), Claire Antonini (theorbe), Yoko Nakamura (harpsichord and organ) and, of course, Philippe Jaroussky (counter-tenor). They gave in october 2002 a first and highly-acclaimed concert in the Theatre du Palais-Royal in Paris, with the Musiche a voce sola by the Italian composer Benedetto Ferrari. This music was immediately recorded and released by the French label Ambroisie, receiving then very prestigious awards (Diapason-decouverte by the magazine Diapason, 10 de Classica-Repertoire, Timbre de diamant by the magazine Opera International etc.). With this ability to adapt to numerous repertoires including music by Antonio Vivaldi, George Friedric Handel, Claudio Monteverdi and Francesco Cavalli, the ensemble performed progressively in the most famous venues and festivals in France, such as the Festivals of Ambronay, Sablé, Pontoise, Saint-Michel-en-Thiérache, Festival de Musique Ancienne de Lyon, Salle Gaveau, the Auditorium du Louvre and the Théatre du Chatelet in Paris, the Château de Versailles, the Bordeaux Opera, the Nancy Opera etc. Abroad, Ensemble Artaserse have been invited to perform in the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, in the Escurial in Madrid, the Palau de la Musica in Valencia or the Festival of Santiago de Compostelles (Spain), the Festival of the Azores (Portugal), the Prague Festival of ancien music, the South Bank Center and the Barbican Center in London, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Berliner Philharmonie, Prinzregententheater in Munich and the Philharmonie Hall in Krakow (Poland) etc.

  • Ornamentation in Mozart's Concert Arias for Aloysia Weber: the Traditions of Singing and Embellishment

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives.

Department of Music The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 April 28. 1976 ii ABSTRACT The concert arias of Mozart actually include not only arias written specifically for concert but also interpolations which subsequently assumed the character of concert arias. Those in the following study were written for Aloysia Weber, Mozart's first love and, later, his sister-in-law. These arias are interesting for a.number of reasons: First, the fact that they are seldom performed today raises questions about singing technique in the late eighteenth century. Second, the musical requirements which fostered this technique must have been grounded in a tradition of embellishment--a subject worthy of investigation.
