Götterdämmerung: Dritter Tag Aus Dem Bühnenfestspiel "Der Ring Des Nibelungen"

An important addition to our newly produced orchestral materials is the first publication of vocal scores of Wagner's ten great operas, in every important version, based on the Complete Edition. The score corresponds to the performance materials from the Complete Edition. For practical use in rehearsal cues and bar numbers throughout. The publisher has secured the services of renewed 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. DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER (1842-1880 version) "This piano reduction is based on the edition of Der fliegende Holländer from the Critical Complete Edition of Richard Wagner's works (Richard Wagner, Sämtliche Werke [Collected works], Vol. 4, III-VI, edited by Egon Voss, Mainz, 2000f.) The primary source for this edition was the first print of the score dating from 1845 which had however been augmented utilising the sources of additions undertaken after 1845, meaning that this edition is actually a compilation of the final versions of all individual sections or relevant details. The overture for example dates back to 1860 whereas No. 1 appears in the version from 1864. What is however most significant is that the versions from the Collected Editions based on new sources is without doubt closer to the original than the score from 1897 edited by Felix Weingartner which had previously formed the basis for all editions and logically also for all performances. " (Egon Voss, quoted from the foreword of the new Der fliegende Holländer vocal score) Original version and 1842-1880 version The original version of Der fliegende Holländer dates from 1841. Wagner, at the time a completely unknown Kapellmeister in France, trying to get a foothold in Paris, saw the opportunity for a stage work that would meet the fashion at the Paris Opera of performing several short works one after another. Der fliegende Holländer, conceived in 1840 and composed in 1841, seemed to him suited to the purpose. In 1841, even when Wagner no longer counted on a success in Paris, he still held to the conception of a one-act opera and offered the work to German opera houses under the title of "Romantic Opera in One Act and Three Scenes". This version is set in Scotland, taking as the literary model for the opera Heinrich Heine's novel fragment "From the Memoirs of Mr. Schnabelewopski", and the protagonists have English names. This version was never performed in Wagner's lifetime. Beginning in 1842, the work went through a tale of constant revision : Even before the Dresden premiere (2nd January 1843) Wagner undertook fundamental alterations. He transposed the location from Scotland to Norway, changed character's names as appropriate, divided the opera into three acts - not least due to considerations of scene changes - and transposed Senta's Ballad from A minor to G minor. It was in this version that the score of the opera went to print in 1845. For a performance in 1860 he composed the later so-called 'Tristan' or 'Redemption' ending to the Overture. Until the very end of his life, Wagner contemplated a plan for a final score or a definitive vocal score : it never came to be, so that to this day, as with Tannhäuser, we still do not have Der fliegende Holländer in a final version. Based on the research conducted in the creation of the Complete Edition, our editions contain, in one case the original version of 1841, while the other essentially goes back to the first printing of the score of 1845, but with the addition of the source material for the retouchings dating from 1842 to 1889. VOCAL SCORES The original version of the opera was made available for the first time in a vocal score in 2005 (ED 8065). The completely revised new edition of the vocal score of the 1842-1880 version appeared in 2011 (ED 20531). WWV 63

L'Or du Rhin : Das Rheingold

An important addition to our newly produced orchestral materials is the first publication of vocal scores of Wagner's ten great operas, in every important version, based on the Complete Edition. The score corresponds to the performance materials from the Complete Edition. For practical use in rehearsal cues and bar numbers throughout. The publisher has secured the services of renewed musicologists associated with the Richard Wagner Complete Edition who convey detailed information in critical forewords.

Uniform and attractive front cover designs with reproductions of paintings from the Wagner era underline the series design of the edition. DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is today still considered a German festival and national opera : this evaluation is borne out by the opera's performance history, the history of its reception and customary performance practice. Critical minds will perhaps recall the quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche's publication "Jenseits von Gut und Böse" [Beyond Good and Evil] in which the Vorspiel [Prelude] to Meistersinger is described as 'magnificent, ornate and ponderous art' and Wagner's music in general as being 'rough and coarse'. This music according to Nietzsche possesses 'no trace of the fine southern clarity of the sky and nothing of grace', but instead 'a cumbersome garb, with a touch of licentious barbarism and solemnity' and 'even a certain degree of ungainliness'. Nietzsche's evaluation is regarded by many as an insight into the essence of the matter, although it is evident that Nietzsche was exaggerating in order to be provocative. What is more important today is however that this characterisation appears to have been the result of an approach to the performance of Meistersinger which had neglected or even gone as far as to misappropriate elements of this work. This is also the conclusion reached in the Meistersinger Edition of the Critical Complete Edition of the Musical Works of Richard Wagner (Richard Wagner, Sämtliche Werke, Vol. 9, I-III, edited by Egon Voss, Mainz 1979-1987). It has in fact been established that the first print of the score published by B. Schott's Söhne in Mainz in 1868 contained numerous errors and omissions, particularly with regard to dynamic markings and articulation. The difference between staccato dots and dashes which has an influence on the tone was simply ignored. The substantial omission of these staccato markings unambiguously draws attention to the fact that Wagner intended a lighter-weight sound than was produced in adherence the first edition. The same also holds true for the dynamic markings which were submitted to a general levelling process in the first edition, thereby entirely masking their original broad scope of differentiation. [... ] When the saying 'the music sets the tone' is cited, it is in actual fact tempo, dynamics which are implied. If the new findings incorporated into the Meistersinger edition of the Critical Complete Edition are taken seriously, this will inevitably produce a new Meistersinger sound.

Nouvelle traduction de l'opéra de Richard Wagner.



Iseult : Tristan !

Tristan : Délicieuse femme !

Iseult : Charmant homme !

Ensemble : Nos cours sont pleins de joie profonde, nos sens vibrent d'un bonheur sans fin !

Désir d'amour sans entrave, délice de la langueur amoureuse ! Cours amoureux enlevés au monde et conquis par moi ! Mon âme se consume d'amour !

(On ouvre brutalement les tentures... Le navire bruit d'une foule de marins et de chevaliers, qui lancent de joyeux hourras vers le rivage où se dresse une forteresse juchée sur un éperon rocheux élevé.

Tristan et Iseult, toujours plongés dans l'émerveillement mutuel, ne semblent pas réaliser ce qui se passe autour d'eux.)

Brangaine (aux servantes qui, à un signe d'elle, remontent sur le pont) : Vite, apportez le manteau royal...

(Se plaçant entre Iseult et Tristan.) Inconscients ! Mais regardez donc où nous sommes ! (Elle couvre Iseult du manteau royal.)

Tristan et Iseult

"Rien ne fait plus de tort à Wagner, et rien n'a plus contribué à amener chez nous le mouvement de réaction antiwagnérien qui se dessine maintenant, que l'absurdité monumentale de ses traductions. Elles ne sont ni françaises ni même intelligibles dans aucune langue." (lettre de Romain Rolland à Richard Strauss, 12 novembre 1905). Henri Christophe a réalisé cette traduction en 1991 à l'occasion de la diffusion sur Arte de la fameuse tétralogie dirigée par Pierre Boulez et mise en scène par Patrice Chéreau en 1976 à Bayreuth. Elle a été conçue pour un dialogue théâtral brûlant de tension dramatique et pour une production résolument dépoussiérée et moderne, loin du livre illustré. Comment restituer, dans une traduction envisagée pour la scène moderne, cette liberté de création poétique, ces aspects formels spécifiquement créés pour le dialogue wagnérien ? Comment traduire une langue qui se veut archaïque, un style qui use de nombreux mots médiévaux et de cascades de néologismes parfois onomatopéiques, ceci afin de renvoyer l'auditeur aux temps anciens des origines ? Le traducteur s'est efforcé de respecter les aspects sonores et novateurs de la langue wagnérienne en conservant autant que possible, comme révélateurs de l'état d'esprit de chaque personnage, les tournures négatives, l'ordre syntaxique, les mises en relief, les formules actives et passives.

L'anneau du Nibelung

Ob Wagnerianer oder Nicht-Wagnerianer: Vor allem die musik-dramatischen Werke von Richard Wagner haben bis heute nichts von ihrer Anziehungskraft auf Opernfreunde verloren. "Der Ring des Nibelungen", "Der fliegende Holländer" oder "Parsifal" gehören immer noch zu den meist gespielten Opern weltweit.

Obwohl Wagner schon zu Lebzeiten ein gefeierter Vertreter der Hochkultur war, speist sich seine frühe Kunsttheorie aus einer revolutionären Ablehnung des herkömmlichen Kunstbetriebs. Seine Auffassungen als radikaler Erneuerer der Kunst beschreibt er in "Das Kunstwerk der Zukunft". Die Schrift ist nicht nur für ein vertieftes Wagner-Verständnis wichtig. Sie enthält auch nachdenkenswerte Anregungen für eine Zustandsdiagnose des aktuellen Kultur- und Konsumbetriebs, der sich in seinem endlosen und ständig unbefriedigten Begehren nur um sich selbst zu drehen scheint.

Die kunsttheoretische Abhandlung Wagners liegt hier in einer neu bearbeiteten Fassung vor, die, wie alle Werke der ofd edition, nicht automatisiert kopiert, sondern sorgfältig editiert und der aktuellen Rechtschreibung angepasst wurde. Die bessere Lesbarkeit und Gestaltung verhelfen so zu einem ungetrübten Lesefluss.

Das Kunstwerk der Zukunft - Neu bearbeitete Ausgabe (Klassiker der ofd edition)

Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder consist of a five songs for female voice and piano. The songs are settings of five of Mathilde Wesendock's poems. This edition contains sheet music for both the Vocal and Piano accompaniment. Instrumentation : Soprano and Orchestra or Piano WWV 91 A
