Over
the course of the 12 years that it has dedicated to research and record
production, INEDITA
has revived more than 200 rare or completely unknown compositions. Many
of these are the works of composers who are virtually unknown and who
deserve to be presented to an appreciative audience. Others are rare
or unpublished works by well-known composers, which have come to light
as a result of patient, pain-staking research starting with the original
sources, often in archives and libraries, and leading to the release
of a record only after careful, stringent musicological examination,
which in some cases goes on for years.
All of this helps to make every INEDITA
production an important event that often sparks
off musicological debate and adds new elements to what is already known
about such musicians as Joseph
Portell, Giuseppe
Amadori, Giuseppe
Ziretti, Domenico Sigismondi,
Giuseppe Rabboni, Giacomo
Monzino and others. Today, at last, these composers have been restored
to musicological historiography and there works are now readily available
on CD recordings.
INEDITA have also
carried out research into rare music or lost music written
by well-known composers. Among our finds we have discovered an unpublished
and unknown Mass by Alessandro
Scarlatti, arranged the first recording of the Solemn Mass in C
major by Luigi Cherubini
and reconstructed, in a critical edition, the fragment of an unfinished
Concerto for violin and orchestra in C major and the early Piano
Concerto WoO 4 by Ludwig
van Beethoven.
The third volume of our collection Beethoven
Rarities, present the world premiere recording of the Overture
to Macbeth. This Macbeth was an overture which does not appear in
the current catalogues of Beethoven's works: recently reconstructed
from certain fragments, which were themselves known of, it was performed
in Washington in 2001 and in Rennes (Brittany) in 2002, and in 2003
it arrived in Italy, in Sassari, earning this new recording.
INEDITA production
are available on the international circuit, where it is attracting the
interest of the sector's most important journals and magazines. We have
many good reviews and won some awards.
