“Dard
anus†is
Rameau’s third
“Tragdie
lyrique†composed
for Paris after
“Hippolyte et
Aricie†and
“Castor et
Polluxâ€. With its
multi-facetted music it
represents quite a high
point of this genre. Its
performance history is
remarkable in that within
only five years two
clearly different
versions were being
performed.
The new
critical edition by Denis
Herlin for the first time
offers the possibility to
reconstruct the version
of May 1744 in addition
to the version of 1739.
Also, the Appendices
include the complete
performance material of
the version of April
1744, many parts of which
could not be heard since.
Last but not least the
changes of the successful
re-staging of 1760 are
presented.
This
performing edition
contains all the purely
instrumental numbers of
the opera in their
various versions. Apart
from the preludes and
ritornellos, these are
above all the diverse
dance numbers.
