Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848): Instrumental Concertos

Gaetano Donizetti, while generally known only as a composer of operas, was in fact responsible for the composition of a great many other works, totalling 611 in all. Instrumental works make up a relatively small proportion of these and are apparently occasional in origin. Nevertheless they are evidence of the skill of the composer and make interesting additions to the solo repertoire of the instruments employed. The works here recorded are now also available in print.

Acknowledgement is due to Professor Raymond Meylan and Professor Johannes Wojciechowski, who have traced and edited these works, as well as to the Paris Biblioth�que Nationale, the Museo Donizettiano in Bergamo and the Paris Conservatoire National for allowing their publication.

The Sinfonia in G minor for woodwind had the original title Sinfonia a soli instrumenti (di fiato), with the dedication Dedicata al Sig. Nebbie Deleidi (del suo Oseq.mo Servitore / Gaetano Donizetti / Bologna li 19, aprile 1817) (Dedicated to Signor Nebbie Deleidi by his obedient servant Gaetano Donizetti, Bologna, 19th April, 1817). The work has its origin in the composer's period of study in Bologna and has here been reconstructed by Bernhard Pauler.

Donizetti's Concertino in C minor for flute and chamber orchestra is derived from a flute sonata preserved in autograph in the Museo Donizettiano in Bergamo (Composizioni giovanili, No. 5 in 64 Fascicolo III.o). The title reads Suonata per / Flauto e Pianoforte / per uso della Sinora/Marianna Pezzoli- Grattatoli / Bergamo Ii 15. Maggio 1819 (Sonata for Flute and Pianoforte for the use of Signora Marianna Pezzoli-Grattatoli, Bergamo, 15th May, 1819).

The present first edition of Donizetti's Oboe Sonata is based on the original manuscript in the possession of the library of the Paris Conservatoire (Ms.4140). It bears the title Suonata per / oboe e Pianoforte / di / G.D.

/ all'Amico Severino dgl'Antonj / L'autore D.D.D.

The Concerto in D minor for violin, cello and orchestra is derived from the autograph preserved in the Paris Biblioth�que Nationale (reg.no. Ms. 4142). Before its acquisition by the Biblioth�que Nationale the hastily written manuscript, extending to some 44 pages, had been in the private collection of one of the world's best known collectors, Charles Malherbe, subsequently archivist at the Paris Opera. The manuscript cost him, as the first page of the score reveals, the sum of 30 francs and 60 centimes. The dating of the work is not clear, but its general lay-out suggests that it belongs rather to the early Bergamo period than the later period in Paris.

Donizetti's Concertino for cor anglais and orchestra was written for a fellow-student at the Conservatory in Bologna. It carries the title Concertino / Per Corno Inglese Sctitto / Dal Signor Gaetano Donizetti / per / il Sig. e Giovanni Catolfi / Alunno del Liceo Filarmonico / L'anno 1816. It was intended for an instrument in G which is no longer in use, with a range of two octaves and a second, lying a fourth lower than the usual oboe of the time. For modern performance the cor anglais or the oboe d'amore are the most suitable instruments.

The present version of Donizetti's Concertino for clarinet and orchestra is an attempt to reconstruct the original form of the work from sketches in the composer's own hand for the first movement (middle part of Ms. 4144, Biblioth�que Nationale), entitled Esquisse pour hautbois and for the second movement the Museo Donizettiano Mss. Nos. 1 2a (score) and 12a Ccl (piano reduction). The reconstruction has attempted to link the two movements, with additions, transposition and scoring of the first movement and a critical revision of the very defective material for the second movement.

Donizetti's Sinfonia in D minor per la Morte di Capuzzzi was written for the funeral of Antonio Capuzzi (1753-1818), the violinist and leader of the orchestra of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. The autograph score is in the Paris Biblioth�que Nationale and the Museo Donizettiano in Bergamo and the present edition is the work of Professor Marc Andreae.

DONIZETTI INSTRUMENTAL CONCERTI (Nov 17, 2007)
Reviewer:JAMES MCKINSKI
Informative to those not familiar with his music. Wonderful solos by all artists of the Camerata Budapest
a clean, clear recording with crisp contrasts
showing orchestra in fine detail. Totally impressed with this orchestra's reading of this music. Difficult not to listen to having music of this calibre performed so graciously and engineered so beautifully.
