Engraved. From the collection of Italian conductor vocal coach and close associate of Puccini and Mascagni Luigi Ricci 1893-1981.

Inzaghi IN. 57 p. 177. Donizetti composed his one-act opera Il Campanello di notte to his own libretto based on a French vaudeville La sonnette de nuit by Brunswick Mathieu-Barthélemy Troin and Victor Lhérie. It premiered at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples on June 1 1836. The absurd plot follows Enrico as he continually harasses pharmacist Don Annibale who is trying to celebrate his wedding night with Serafina whom Enrico still loves. "Enrico's role created by Giorgio Ronconi is fitted with all sorts of musical and dramatic opportunities. His encounters with Annibale develop in musical ingenuity. Particularly effective are the episode of the hoarse singer replete with musical allusions to other scores by Donizetti and by Rossini and the encounter over the prescription which develops into something with even more bizarre medical terms than Dr Dulcamara's aria in Elisir and with more frantic parlando than the Don Pasquale-Malatesta duet." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online. Ricci was an important figure in the transmission of 19th century traditions passed on to him by noted baritone Antonio Cotogni 1831-1918 whom he accompanied from the age of 12. He was active as a vocal coach at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia where he taught amongst many others Sesto Bruscantini Anna Moffo Rosalind Elias Ezio Flagello Peter Lindroos and Martti Wallén.

Worldcat 2 copies only at the Universities of Chicago and Dayton. OCLC no. 57468047. Luigi Moroni Gaetano Capocci and Giuseppe Negri are named as the "Direttori della Musica." Negri has provided the libretto for four of Verdi's works and one each for Rossini and Donizetti. Two more texts by Salvatore Martini are set to music by Moroni and Mercadante. Verdi's first contribution "Salve o Madre: un sacro patto tutti stringe i figli tuoi" comes from the opening chorus of La Battaglia di Legnano 1849; the second "Silenzio misterio" from the opening chorus of I due Foscari" 1844; and the third "Plaudiam di letizia" from the opening chorus of the Act I finale of Stiffelio 1850. We have been unable to identify Verdi's final contribution "Regina dell' alme" Rossini's "Pura stella-del mattino" Mercadante's "Sacro alla pace degli eletti" and Donizetti's cantata "Celeste un' aura dal tempio move." An intriguing source of libretti for little known works of some of the 19th century's most renowned composers. We would like to thank Dr. Philip Gossett for his kind assistance in the cataloging of this item. Tipografia dell Rev. Cam. Apostolica unknown books

This new issue from 1852 contains many new plates alongside the older ones. L'elisir d'amore to a libretto by Felice Romani after Eugène Scribe's text for Auber's Le philtre 1831 was first performed at the Teatro Cannobiana in Milan on May 12 1832. "Donizetti's score is a study in shrewd contrasts: from the fairly florid lines of the duet 'Chiedi all'aura' - florid yet always rhetorically tidy - to the bumptious 3/8 stretta of the Act 1 finale or from the sharply differentiated tones of Nemorino and Belcore in the 'Venti scudi' duet to the comic irony in the duet for Adina and Dulcamara 'Quanto amore!' which sets off the potion as charm against the charm of Adina herself. The apparently effortless outpouring of melody arouses wonder especially as it is never melodiousness for its own sake but always describes some aspect of character; moreover there are those moments of genuine pathos 'Adina credimi' and 'Una furtiva lagrima' for instance that keep this comedy from seeming merely heartless or cruel. Ultimately the continuing appeal of L'elisir lies in the appropriateness of Donizetti's music to this bucolic variant of the 'male Cinderella' myth. Nemorino's good-heartedness and his singleness of purpose win out in spite of potions and unforeseen inheritances." William Ashbrook in Grove Music Online.

Furthermore the wrappers on this issue are issued under Stabilimento Musicale Partenopeo the name of publisher Girard beginning in 1853. Belisario was composed to a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano after Luigi Marchionni's adaptation of Eduard von Schenk's Belisarius 1820. It premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice on February 4 1836 and was dedicated to his friend Giovanni Agostino Perotti 1769/70-1855 composer and maestro di cappella at San Marco. "Well and widely received during its first decade Belisario was however overtaken by the vogue for Lucia di Lammermoor which immediately precedes it in the Donizetti canon. That rarity an opera without a romantic love interest Belisario had problems sustaining its popularity because the prima donna's role is unsympathetic dramatically in spite of her brilliant arias in the first and last acts. The plot is in sum an uneasy mixture of classical and Romantic elements; but considering the eloquence of the music it drew from Donizetti it is fair to say that Belisario does not deserve the neglect into which it has largely fallen."

In 3 acts to a libretto by Gaetano Rossi after d'Ennery and Lemoine's play La grâce de Dieu 1841 Linda di Chamounix premiered in Vienna at the Kärntnertortheater on 19 May 1842. "The score of Linda is a monument to Donizetti's unfailing good taste from the finely crafted overture to the final ensemble. A particularly effective moment is the brief unaccompanied prayer for five solo voices in Act 3. Linda although a fixture on the Italian stage for its first 50 years deserves to be better known: it makes clear much about the musical environment in which Verdi developed. Although its naive demi-caractère plot strains the credulity the score is vocally so grateful and possesses so much cohesiveness that it largely overcomes this liability."

Girard's first edition of Maria di Rohan appeared circa 1844 but this issue contains a new title page with Girard's later imprint Stabilimento Musicale Partenopeo. Maria di Rohan was composed to a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano after Lockroy and Badon's play Un duel sous le Cardinal de Richelieu 1832. It premiered at the Kärntnertortheater in Vienna on June 5 1843. "The most tautly constructed of Donizetti's romantic melodrammi Maria di Rohan shows clear signs particularly in Act 3 that Donizetti was moving towards the effect of unbroken musical continuity abandoning the closed patterns of conventional 'number' opera. Even in Act 1 the usual succession of 'entrance' arias is given new force and dynamism by Donizetti's tendency to reduce the fixed forms to their minimum and to inject vivid musical characterization. It is a work that calls for accomplished singers who are also powerful actors particularly for the baritone role of Chevreuse. Chorley described the powerful effect produced by Giorgio Ronconi in this part. Maria di Rohan contains some of Donizetti's most expressive music. The soprano's first-act aria 'Cupa fatal mestizia' suggests Un ballo in maschera.
