RAMEAU - OPERATIC ARIAS BARITONE

This edition contains the great monologues, arias and ariettas that Rameau wrote for basse-taille (the 18th-century equivalent of today’s baritone). The volume, which contains a historical Introduction in German and English, is based on the critical edition of the works “Opera omnia” Rameau (OOR). A short description of the dramatic situation and an English translation of the vocal text precede each number.

The volume contains the baritone arias for the main characters from the following operas:
Anacréon (Anacréon)
Castor et Pollux (Pollux)
Dardanus (Anténor)
Les Fêtes de Polymnie (Zimès)
Hippolyte et Aricie (Thésée)
