Critical Edition Series 6 Lyric Works Volume 1 - Rodrigue Et Chimene

Critical editions, Lyric Works vol 1

Hardback

Edited by Richard Langham Smith.

Debussy composed this opera based on the El Cid story on a libretto by Catulle Mendes. The music was composed before Debussy was 30 but remained incomplete. The premiere of the work did not occur until 1993.

This edition is part of a massive undertaking to publish critical editions of the complete works of Claude Debussy. This is the first time a publisher has endeavoured to find manuscript sources for all of his works, coping with unorthodox notation techniques and scattered resources.

The volumes are printed in blue cloth-bound hardback editions with gold embossing. This edition contains a foreword, bibliography, libretto, critical notes and facsimiles.
