Chabrier's orchestral showpiece was composed in 1883 and received
its premiere in November of that year in Paris under the baton of
Charles Lamoreaux, founder of the now famous orchestra bearing his
name. Inspired by a vacation to Spain taken the year before its
composition, Espana is a superb example of the Spanish-genre
showpiece - featuring driving rhythms, brilliant orchestral colors
and folk-derived melodies. This new score is a reduced-sized
reissue of the newly-engraved, thoroughly researched and corrected
edition prepared by Clinton F. Nieweg and Nancy M. Bradburd in
2008.
Borodin started work on his second symphony soon after the 1869
premiere of his first. He worked on it off and on until 1876,
putting it aside for another project - misplacing his orchestral
scores of the first and last movements in the process. When a
performance was scheduled in 1877, Borodin had to re-orchestrate
the two movements from his piano-4 hands score. This new score is a
digitally-enhanced, corrected reprint of the one first issued in
1946 by Muzgiz. Editors Clinton Nieweg and Nancy Bradburd have
thoroughly researached the source material to produce an extremely
authoritative score of this renowned favorite of the Russuan
master's three symphonies.
