Tchaikovsky's additional music

[edit]

Tchaikovsky wrote some additional music for this, see Tchaikovsky Research. Apparently this was used by Bonynge but I don't have a citable source. - Kleinzach 02:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look it up in the recording booklet and add the info if such is the case (IIRC it is). --Folantin 07:50, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jourdan DVD?

[edit]

Apparently there is a DVD of Jourdan's 1995 production, probably a TV film, but I can't find full details. - Kleinzach 04:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not listed at Amazon. I once heard a rumour that Marc Minkowski was recording a version for DVD, but it's never materialised. --Folantin 07:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is what I found: [1] - Kleinzach 09:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, is that an official release or, ahem, something else? --Folantin 09:47, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


There's a French radio performance dating from 1950, led by Janine Micheau on Myto, minus any spoken dialogue or narration, but the numbers end sharply enough to suggest that whatever went between them on the night was substantial and has been later cut. It appears to take the Brandus and Benoit vocal scores as a starting point, and differs remarkably from the Italian language version, which has additional recitative and linking passages. Who reordered and expanded the texts of the French scores for the Italian version? Auber himself? Though this is POV, I suppose, it's of its time, but good enough not to be ignored, not least for the style.Delahays (talk) 12:36, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
