It is incredibly interesting to check how a modern instrument orchestra adapts to play music of seventeenth and then twentieth centuries. Virtuosic playing and musicological approach go hand in hand in this recording. First performed in 1670 at the Chateau de Chambord in the Loire Valley, Moliere and Lully's Le bourgeois gentilhomme is a stage piece that combines spoken or sung comedy with dance. The work was a precursor to the tragedie-lyrique, and played an important role in establishing the form of French opera. In October 1911, Richard Strauss and his librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal decided on the subject of their next project. Hofmannsthal suggested that they make a two-act adaptation of Le bourgeois gentilhomme. The play would be performed with new instrumental music by Strauss, and the concluding ballet entertainment, the Ballet des Nations, of Moliere's original would take the form of a new opera, Ariadne auf Naxos, to be created by Hofmannsthal and Strauss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Ouverture \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Menuett \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Der Fechtmeister \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Auftritt und Tanz Der Schneider \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Das Menuett Des Lully \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Courante \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Auftritt Des Cléonte \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Vorspiel Zum Acte II \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Bürger als Edelmann - Suite, Op. 60~Das Diner \u003cbr\u003e1.10 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Ouverture \u003cbr\u003e1.11 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Ritournelles \u003cbr\u003e1.12 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Premier Intermède: Air - Sarabande - Bourrée - Gaillarde - Canarie \u003cbr\u003e1.13 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Premier Air Des Garçons Tailleurs - Deuxième Air - Marche Pour La Cérémonie Des Turcs \u003cbr\u003e1.14 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Troisième Air \u003cbr\u003e1.15 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Le Donneur De Livre - Ritournelle Des Espagnols - Deuxième Air Des Espagnols \u003cbr\u003e1.16 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~Ritournelle Italienne \u003cbr\u003e1.17 bourgeois gentilhomme - excerpts~L'Entrée Des Scaramouches, Trivelins Et Arlequins - Chaconne Des Scaramouches, Trivelins Et Arlequins\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Strauss \/ Norwegian Chamber Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557871726663,"sku":"35907169","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/strauss-norwegian-chamber-orchestra-bourgeois-gentilhomme-der-burger-als-edelmann","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
