In the 1980's, the
internationally acclaimed musicologist and conductor Jonathan Del Mar
began the task of rigorously examining all the surviving sources and
thoroughly research the major orchestral works of Beethoven as well as
all aspects of 19th century historical performance practice. Bärenreiter
and Luck's Music Library present the state of the art Urtext Edition
of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies edited by Jonathan Del Mar. Each symphony
is accompanied by a complete detailed critical commentary and printed
on durable paper with a reader-friendly layout and the clear, high quality
print that is synonymous with the Bärenreiter name!
Yet another edition
of the Symphonies?
No, the New Bärenreiter Urtext Edition
is not just another edition. It has advantages over all other current
available editions.
- For the first time all available
sources - even the most recently discovered - will be integrated
in the New Bärenreiter Urtext Editions.
- For the first time all Symphonies
will be accompanied by complete critical commentaries which
will be published at the same time as the respective Symphony's performance
material.
- All Nine Symphonies will be edited by
one editor, the internationally acclaimed musicologist Jonathan
Del Mar. We guarantee a musicological standard of the highest niveau,
up-to-date and consistent.
Will orchestras really buy this new material just
because of a few minor changes?
Yes, because the changes are so far-reaching.
- The New Bärenreiter Urtext Edition
contains numerous exciting and previously unheard corrections to the
traditionally accepted editions.
- Compared to the older editions, the
differences are often so drastic that conductors will not be able to
purchase a new score and simply mark the changes in their old parts.
- The New Bärenreiter Urtext Edition is audibly different and
leads to a new way of hearing and understanding the Symphonies.
- The new Bärenreiter Urtext Edition fills the gaps; its superior
musicological standard does not diminish its practicality as a performing
edition.
