Une adaptation en bande desinée de l'opéra composé par Richard Wagner.

L'or du Rhin

Although 'Rhinegold', like any of the following three parts, is a drama on its own, it reveals its entire meaning only as introduction to the complete work. In 'The Nibelung's Ring', Wagner used his own word creations the principal characteristics of which are effective alliterations. For the first time, this first part of the 'Ring' also contains the 'reminiscence motifs' (it was not until after Wagner's death that Hans von Wolzogen invented the expression of the 'leitmotif' as it is used today). 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 life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction. WWV 86 A

La vie d'un musicien

De Richard Wagner, ce sont 269 lettres à Minna Wagner, 149 lettres à Mathilde Wesendonck et 35 lettres à Judith Gautier puis 14 lettres de Mathilde Wesendonck à Richard Wagner, 67 lettres de Cosima Wagner à Judith Gautier et 2 lettres de Judith Gautier à Cosima Wagner. Cette correspondance composée de 536 envois foisonnants est enrichie de 3519 notes inédites et inévitables. S'échelonnant de 1842 à 1898, soit sur cinquante-six ans, cette littérature épistolaire ajuste un éclairage, et non des moindres, quant aux tréfonds du compositeur hors normes. Paris, Bordeaux, London, Saint-Pétersbourg, Wien, Berlin, Dresde, Leipzig, Bayreuth, Lucerne, Genova, Venezia, entre autres, au fil des pérégrinations de l'auteur, défilent. C'est toute l'Europe qui caracole sous nos yeux ébahis - ils demeurent -, de tant d'énergie créatrice sans cesse prodiguée par ce musicien unique. Avec sa célèbre encre violette, il s'évertue envers ses belles aimées à ne pas les oublier et à prendre soin d'elles, entièrement dévoué. On saura gré d'apprendre, de même, les complexités parfois douloureuses de la composition musicale, notamment celle de Tristan und Isolde, légendaire bien avant de le devenir.
Yves Courmes, Philippe Olivier, Samuel Tastet ne sont plus à présenter. Le premier dirige le Cercle Richard Wagner Nice Rive Droite avec passion et dextérité, ponctuées d'un enthousiasme remarquable. Le second, historien de la musique spécialisé dans l'opéra, se révèle être un incommensurable expert de Richard Wagner. En 1961, alors qu'il avait huit ans, il fut bercé à Bayreuth. Quant au troisième, intrépide éditeur, il publie à cheval sur deux pays, la France et la Roumanie, une littérature hors courants. Sans oublier Maria Mikhaylova, artiste-peintre, dont l'oeil précieux et précis anoblit graphiquement ce premier volume de la collection BRW. Une « tétralogie » oeuvrant pour Une autre tétralogie...

Eulenburg Miniature Scores

An important addition to the newly produced orchestral materials by Schott Music is the fi rst publication of vocal scores of Richard Wagner's ten great operas in every important version. For the first time, we are able to offer theatres and interested opera-lovers vocal scores as urtext editions conceived following uniform editorial criteria : The score corresponds to the performance materials from the Complete Edition. For practical use in rehearsal and study, every vocal score includes rehearsal cues and bar numbers throughout. The publisher has secured the services of renowned musicologists associated with the Richard Wagner Complete Edition who convey detailed information in critical forewords. The forewords are given in three languages (German, English, French). Uniform and attractive front cover designs with reproductions of paintings from the Wagner era underline the series design of the edition. GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG This piano reduction corresponds to the edition of the score of Götterdämmerung contained in the complete critical edition of the musical works of Richard Wagner (Richard Wagner, Sämtliche Werke, Vol. 13, I-III, edited by Hartmut Fladt, Mainz 1980ff. [Richard Wagner, Complete Works]). The first printed edition of the score was published by B. Schott's Söhne, Mainz (plate number 21953) in the summer of 1876, but was supervised by the conductor Hermann Levi and not by Wagner himself. This edition displays deviations from the autograph which cannot be considered as adhering to Wagner's intentions. For this reason, the critical edition is largely based on Wagner's autograph score. Individual changes made during the first performances of the work in Bayreuth in 1876 have been identified in the footnotes. WWV 86 D

Wagner Urtext-Klavierauszüge

Richard Wagner. A complete orchestral score for Wagner's music drama "Das Rheingold," part of the Nibelung's Ring cycle. All lyrics and text in this edition are in the original German.

L'Or du Rhin. Das Rheingold

During his time in Weimar (1848-1861), Liszt developed a then entirely new organ style which stands out for both orchestral and pianistic elements. Together with the choirmaster Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg (1827-1908) from Tiefurt, he regularly initiated so-called 'organ conferences'. And it was at the suggestion of Gottschalg that the present arrangement of the Pilgrim's Choir from the opera 'Tannhäuser' was written. With his version for organ, Liszt, by means of this example, laid the foundations for the (not always undisputed) tradition, extending to the present day, of organ transcriptions from the operas of Wagner. 'Organistic' elements in the Pilgrims' Choir are the classical chorale theme, the solemn 'sacred' atmosphere of the solemn tempo as well as the expressive cantability. The linear intensification, from the antiphonal-organ-like piano dolce of the beginning to the 'full organ', can be realized in a convincing manner with an orchestrally conceived three-manual organ, with the sensitive use of the swell box and the successive, seamless build-up of the crescendo pedal being of particular significance. Important repertoire piece marking the 200th birthday of Richard Wagner in 2013. Instrumentation : organ WWV 70
