Rare russian opera scores

Post by Emabono »

Does anyone have access to the following vocal scores:

Vasilij Kalinnikov, V 1812 godu
Anton Rubinstejn, Feramors
Pavel Blaramberg, Tusincy and Skomoroch?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apparently, Sibley library has the Rubinstein score in its rare books collection. I've requested this be digitized, but since this may be in a special collection that may or may not be subject to their digitization project, we'll have to wait and see if they can fulfill this.

Sibley responded as I feared. Since this score is in the rare collections and its condition is extremely brittle, they are unable digitize it. At least we tried...

That's not to say that we'll never be able to digitize it, but until we can afford a cradle scanner we can't do these kinds of scores. Someday we'll get one, but I have no idea when. We've had to deny several such requests. Now, if some good Samaritan wants to fund the purchase of one of these for us.... :wink:

Hallo,

Blaramberg Tusincy - Vocal score (300p) is in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek:

I had a look at it, and it is in very good shape - just order scans if you cannot find it anywhere else.

They also have the vocal score of Kalinnikov: Prolog - V 1812 godu (82p).
