[EN]'Der Rosenkavalier' (The Knight of the Rose or The Rose-Bearer), Op. 59, is a comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. It is loosely adapted from the novel 'Les amours du chevalier de Faublas' by Louvet de Couvrai and Molière's comedy 'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac'. The opera was first performed at the 'Königliches Opernhaus' in Dresden on 26 January 1911 and became immediate and profound popular.
Strauss made his own arrangement of waltz sequences in 1934 and 1944; at the same time, other orchestral arrangements by various individuals emerged throughout the composer's lifetime. In fact, the best-known suite of music from the opera is an anonymous arrangement that Strauss eventually approved in 1945, and which is generally accepted. Dutch arranger Jos van de Braak now transcribed the 'Rosenkavalier Suite' for Symphonic Band.
[DE]Der Rosenkavalier', op. 59, ist eine komische Oper in drei Akten von Richard Strauss nach einem original deutschen Libretto von Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Sie ist frei nach dem Roman 'Les amours du chevalier de Faublas' von Louvet de Couvrai und Molières Komödie 'Monsieur de Pourceaugnac' gestaltet. Die Oper wurde am 26. Januar 1911 im Königlichen Opernhaus in Dresden uraufgeführt und erlangte sofort große Popularität.
1934 und 1944 arrangierte Strauss Walzersequenzen selbst; gleichzeitig entstanden im Laufe seines Lebens weitere Orchesterarrangements von verschiedenen Personen. Tatsächlich ist die bekannteste Suite der Oper eine anonyme Bearbeitung, die Strauss 1945 schließlich genehmigte und die allgemein anerkannt ist. Der holländische Arrangeur Jos van de Braak hat nun die 'Rosenkavalier-Suite' für Symphonic Band transkribiert.
