Jean-Philippe Rameau - Hippolyte Et Aricie French vocal Score  

Rameau's "Hippolyte et Aricie" presents nymphs & deities in abject disarray. This tragédie en musique is a fascinating masterpiece by the French baroque composer, & the score of the final 1757 version is the result of his many years experience with the theatre.The new scholarly-critical edition published in Rameau's Opera omnia is the first to make use of all available sources: the full score & incomplete parts for the Paris performances as well as manuscript prepared for the Bibliothèque Royale
