About the series
Christoph Willibald Gluck: French Operatic Arias
For the first time all the arias from Christoph Willibald Gluck's French operas are being published in arrangements for voice and piano. This series, a coproduction with the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles (CMBV), presents this collection according to voice register in four volumes.
With their wealth of arias and informative texts, these volumes offer a rich treasure-trove from works by this major 18th-century opera composer for use in voice lessons, auditions and recitals.
