The orchestral overture to \\x91Los esclavos felices\\x92 (The Happy Slaves) is all that remains of the opera, that the child prodigy Arriaga wrote aged 14. When Arriaga moved to Paris to study under F\\xe9tis, Gu\\xe9rin and Baillot in 1821, he revised the overture, making changes to the instrumentation and removing a third theme group, this version is heard on this recording. Air from M\\xe9d\\xe9e and Herminie form parts of the autograph volume \\x91Ensayos l\\xedrico-dram\\xe1ticos\\x92 (Lyric-dramatic essays) that completes this release, here sung by one of Scandinavia\\x92s most sought after concert singers, Berit Norbakken Solset. Tonally ambiguous, Symphony in D minor (which begins and ends in D major) alongside the Overture in D major, which was written \\x91without having learnt the principles of harmony\\x92 are proof that Arriaga\\x92s premature death aged 19 was a \\x91sad loss to Basque music\\x92.Overture To 'Los Esclavos Felices', Second Version, Paris\u003cbr\u003eHerminie, Cantata For Soprano And Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eOverture, Op. 20 In D Major\u003cbr\u003eAir de L'Op\\xe9ra M\\xe9d\\xe9e, Aria For Soprano And Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eSymphonie \\xe0 Grand Orchestre In D Minor","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55137143521665,"sku":"954053","price":18.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51rZuuP03RL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767269548","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/954053","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
