Aurélien Bello arranged a version
of Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier for four singers and a
chamber orchestra of thirteen players. This was a commission by the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra who performed it in 2015 at the
Baden-Baden
and also at the
Berlin.
We are pleased to see musicians of such reputation playing from LilyPond
scores (who were reportedly very happy with them).
Aurélien also re-orchestrated Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard
Wagner for a family concert (ages 7 and above). It was written for a
standard symphony orchestra, but with a reduced cast of singers and was
performed by the
Radio-Sinfonieorchester Berlin
in 2014 at the Atze Musiktheater, Berlin. The Conductor was Heiko
Matthias Förster.
Another re-orchestration by Aurélien was Mussorgsky’s
Pictures at an exhibition which he also conducted for the
Junge Philharmonie Brandenburg
in 2011 and again in 2012.
