Arie per basso [SR] 2006, p2005: container (Orlando furioso : RVAnh84) insert (Orlando furioso, "a somewhat mysterious collaboration with the young Giovanni Alberto Ristori in 1713, ... revised by Vivaldi alone in 1714") Vivaldi, A. Orlando 1714 [SR] p2012: container (Orlando furioso, RV 819) booklet, pages 21-22 (manuscript of the 1714 Orlando, preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, is missing its third act; libretto lacks composer attribution; previously considered a modified version of Ristori's 1713 Orlando furioso, the score for which is now lost; analysis of the manuscript, the librettos, and the concordances show that Vivaldi had already added various arias of his own composition to Ristori's opera during the numerous repeat performances in 1713, rendering it a pasticcio by Vivaldi-Ristori; Vivaldi subsequently undertook a complete revision of the opera, and using the old manuscript with its existing modifications as the basis for his work, he deleted nearly all of Ristori's arias and replaced them with new compositions of his own, made extensive changes to the recitatives and cut many passages, and interpolated new music taken from Ottone in villa, RV 729, and Orlando finto pazzo, RV 728, creating a new work; some of the newly composed pieces were subsequently taken over, with modifications, into the Orlando of 1727) Grove music online, Oct. 14, 2011: Ristori works list (Orlando furioso (3, G. Braccioli, after L. Ariosto), Venice, S Angelo, 7 Nov 1713; rev. Venice, 1714, I-Tn) Vivaldi works list (RV Anh. 84. Orlando furioso; libretto: Braccioli, after L. Ariosto; performed autumn 1714, Teatro S. Angelo, Venice; extensive rev. of G.A. Ristori: Orlando furioso, 1713) Ryom, c2007 (RV Anh. 84. Orlando furioso, drama per musica, von Giovanni Alberto Ristori; acts I and II only preserved; first performed at Teatro di S. Angelo, Nov. 1713 and revived under Vivaldi at the same theater Dec. 1714, with his revisions; it cannot be ascertained whether Vivaldi also had contributed new material to the 1713 version) Opera & Vivaldi, 1984: p. 328-9 (Orlando furioso, composed 1713 by Giovanni Alberto Ristori, rev. 1714 by Vivaldi; "Vivaldi replaced twenty-two of Ristori's arias and ensembles with numbers, probably his own, that had different texts from those set by Ristori. There is no evidence that Vivaldi replaced any of Ristori's recitatives. Nevertheless, the revised opera was mostly Vivaldi's"; the score for Vivaldi's 1714 revision was originally Ristori's score for his 1713 setting, but contains some of Vivaldi's revisions, with substituted arias (mostly represented only by the bass part for the acc. continuo group); however, act 2 of Ristori's score has been left virtually untouched, although the 1714 libretto shows substitute texts, suggesting that it is "reasonable to conclude ... that all the music in act 2 of this score is from Ristori's setting of 1713") Strohm, R. The operas of Antonio Vivaldi, 2008: p. 122 (Orlando furioso; RV Anh. 84; dramma per musica by Grazio Braccioli; "Orlando furioso is ... a fully-fledged opera by Vivaldi," as established by the author in an earlier paper (previous writers had assumed the 1714 performance contained music written entirely by Ristori)) p. 133-4 (ms. score, entitled Orlando furioso. Atto primo, e secondo, in I-Tn, Giordano 37, fols 162-250, apparently derived from the lost autograph or theatre score of the opera by G.A. Ristori; "The changes in Giordano 37 comprise the elimination of some passages of recitative and of individual arias, and the insertion of newly written material, deletions, abridgments and modifying directions ..."; it is possible that Vivaldi had contributed original material to the 1713 version) |
