Cantolopera is a series that proposes a totally new way to approach the great opera repertoire: versions for voice and piano of the most famous arias, accompanied by a compact disc containing the corresponding orchestral bases, recorded with a 130-piece orchestra, to allow the professional, the student and the opera fan to practice, as well as a version sung by an established artist for reference. Each volume contains the lyrics of the arias plus a short summary and background information on the “Compagnia d’Opera Italiana” Orchestra and the performers. Baritone Volume 2 includes: Largo al foctotum (Rossini) • Udite, udite, o rustici (Donizetti) • Tutto è deserto … Il balen del suo sorriso (Verdi) • Cortigiani, vil razza dannata (Verdi) • Di Provenza il mar, il suol (Verdi) • Tre sbirri… Una carozza… (Puccini) • Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre (Bizet).
