Previous editions of Dvořák’s Piano Concerto op. 33 have been inadequate. After detailed examination of the sources the work is now being published in its original form.

Previous editions of Antonín Dvořák’s VIIIth Symphony have errors in many details. Jonathan Del Mar’s new edition now offers a very high degree of reliability.

Bruckner’s “Romantic” Symphony is one of his best-known works. The new critical edition is based for the first time on all the surviving manuscript sources and reconstructs the version of the first performance of 1881.

In order to perform music of earlier centuries authentically, performers need to be familiar with the performance conventions of the day. A sensational discovery alters our view of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto.

After his death, Johann Joseph Rösler was almost completely forgotten. But his Piano Concerto in E flat deserves a revival. The new edition from Bärenreiter Praha will contribute to this.

The master concerts associated with the Heidenheim Opera Festival present a very special event this autumn: the well-known German actress Katharina Thalbach will play the (spoken) title role in Georg Anton Benda’s famous melodrama “Medea”, accompanied by the Cappella Aquileia under the direction of Marcus Bosch. The concert on 27 October in the Congress Zentrum Heidenheim, repeated on 28 October in Fürth, is at the same time the first performance using the critical new edition published by Bärenreiter. Benda’s “Medea” will be heard in the previously unknown late Mannheim version of 1784, which is in many respects more effective. The edition has been edited for the first time by Jörg Krämer for the series “OPERA – Spectrum of European Musical Theatre in Separate Editions.” (Picture: Eugène Delacroix, Medea kills her children (1862), Louvre Paris)

Amongst Handel’s sacred works, the “Te Deum” for James Brydges at Cannons is one of the least well-known. Now its publication in the Complete Edition enables authentic performances to be given once more.
