About this product
In 2008 the Erfurt Theater tasked Alois Bröder with composing an opera. For a long time the composer searched for the ideal opera subject until he found it in Nathaniel Hawthorne's story 'The Wives of the Dead.' The template offers everything that the operatic heart desires InchIt requires almost no reduction, is ambiguous, irresistible, narrative broken and almost without an internal narrative,Inch says the composer. First published anonymously in 1831 and then again in 1851, Hawthorne's 'The Wives of the Dead' is regarded as one of the most remarkable short stories in 19th century American literature. In the story, the wives of two brothers learn that both men have been killed abroad on consecutive days. In their grief, Inchsleep did not steal upon the sisters at one and the same timeInch; one woman slumbers while the other is awake. Far more than the tale of the grief of two widows, InchThe Wives of the DeadInch deals with the Inchwaking dreams such as Hawthorne explored again and again in fiction and in sketches like 'The Haunted Mind,' Inch notes scholar Arlin Turner, and the ambiguity of the boundaries between the widows' dream-worlds and their realities leaves readers wondering how much of the story the two women experienced and how much they imagined. Alois Broder's operatic interpretation is carried out here by the Opernchor des Theaters Erfurt and the Philharmonisches Orchester Erfurt.

The present recording brings to a fitting conclusion a long process of research, study and performance of a hitherto lost and forgotten 18th century musical work from Italy. The composer, Leonardo LEO, was born in 1694 in San Vito dei Normanni (Brindisi) and died some 50 years later in Naples. One of the greatest of the so-called Neapolitan School, he had a major impact on music teaching in Europe. Already a fully-fledged composer, in 1722 the young LEO set to music the sacred work Dalla morte alla vita di Santa Maria Maddalena eremita on commission from the town council of Atrani, a small attractive coastal location near Amalfi, to celebrate the patron saint Mary Magdalen. After this performance the work was never mentioned again and all catalogues of Leonardo LEO's output stated that the manuscript score was lost. In fact, a copy of it had travelled to southern France and reappeared in 2009 in a Paris bookshop. The Leonardo LEO Centre of Studies and Documentation acquired the manuscript in 2012. The manuscript comprises some 200 pages, many of them clearly in Leonardo LEO's own hand, and was scrupulously transcribed with a view to correct performance practice. This was seen on several occasions in 2019 when the work was staged, albeit with several numbers removed, of which the present album is a faithful live recording. The road that led to this result was beset with many difficulties but the great determination of all those concerned beat the odds and has added a work of great value to Leonardo LEO's surviving output and an invaluable source to knowledge of sacred music performance in the first half of the 18th century.
