Gailhard. <br /> <br /> "Ariane was designed on a grand scale and grandly staged at the Opera in 1906. Catulle Mendès's libretto treats Theseus's flight from Crete with Ariadne as well as her sister Phaedra with whom he falls in love. Its success was largely built on the fourth act in which Ariadne descends to the underworld to plead with Persephone to restore her dead sister. Lucy Arbell from then on to be closely associated with Massenet's operas made a great impression in the role of Persephone especially with her aria 'Des roses des roses' a late addition to the score. The third act in which Ariadne pleads with Phaedra to intercede with Theseus on her behalf is scarcely less touching. Of all the many operas on the Theseus myth this is one of the few to include Phaedra and to dramatize the rivalry of the two sisters for Theseus's love."<br /> <br /> "Massenet was the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th."

A clean attractive copy overall. First Edition.<br /> <br /> Grisélidis was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra-Comique on 20 November 1901.<br /> <br /> " . on its own terms Grisélidis is one of Massenet's most successful operas. The action moves swiftly through just over two hours of music the instrumentation shows the composer at his most economic and delicate and in no other of his operas are his melodies so unconstrained. The use of reminiscence motif is judiciously calculated. Much of the score's appeal lies in its skilful mixture of comedy and sentiment. The role of the Devil was written for Lucien Fugère one of Massenet's favourite singers; his music is full of sprightly dry Gallic wit . the title role is as touching in its delineation as it is vocally rewarding - it was originally sung by Lucienne Bréval who also created Fauré's Pénélope and Dukas' Ariane . the tenderly nostalgic duet for Grisélidis and her first love written with rare psychological insight . shows the composer at his best."

This evocative collection of eight sheet music editions represents the vibrant "Silver Age" of Russian popular culture capturing the diverse soundscape of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg and Moscow. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the early 20th-century commercial music market including the arrangement of world-famous operatic arias by Bizet and Massenet popular salon waltzes like the dramatic "In the Heat of Passion" and even international sensations such as John Philip Sousa’s "The Stars and Stripes Forever." Published by leading specialized houses such as S. Ya. Yambor and A. P. Kononov these issues were the essential soundtracks to the private salons and public variety stages estrada of the era. The physical identity of this lot is distinguished by its stunning lithographed covers which are true masterpieces of Russian commercial Art Nouveau. Many of these wrappers feature photographic portraits of the era's stars creating a visual connection between the music and the legendary performers who popularized them. From the melancholic strains of "I Recall the Enchanting Sound of a Waltz" to the lighthearted melodies of Franz Lehár’s operettas this collection preserves the ephemeral beauty of a society on the brink of transformation. For bibliophiles musicologists and collectors of Russian heritage these 1908–1916 imprints are vital primary sources documenting the synthesis of high-art operatic tradition and the emerging mass-media hits of the early 20th century.
