Malcolm Bruno’s reconstruction consists of Pergolesi’s Hymnus, Magnificat, several short in…

Par DEL BORGO ELLIOT. The power and frenzy of a primal dance is brought to life from the very opening notes of this blazing overture! The contrast of the smoldering middle section stands out well against the powerful chord changes and strong melodic lines of the opening themes. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. Inspired by the fast-moving scenes and vulnerable, complex characters of Elizabethan drama, this new opera by George Benjamin and Martin Crimp considers what space, if any, exists for love and human affection inside the dangerous machinery of power.  A king, compelled to choose between love and political hard-headedness, makes a fatal decision, allowing his country to slide in…

For many, the title will awaken memories of the demonstrations against the clearance of the Flörsheim Forest to allow for a new runway at the Frankfurt Airport. Both the poem, which extends beyond this local incident to remind us of the seriousness of our global situation, and the music join together to form an expressive, universally valid call for the conservation of our core values, our future …

In response to a continued interest in a scholarly facsimile of the Mass in B minor, a new cloth-bound facsimile edition (BVK 2194) has now been published. This replaces the original BÄRENREITER FACSIMILE edition (BVK 1911).
