Perfect Baritone Recital Selections

September 6, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Georgio Ronconi-baritone
Georgio Ronconi, Italian operatic baritone
Attendees at a vocal recital fall into several categories: fans of the music; followers, family, or friends of the vocalist; those who wish to see or assess the singer’s performance; those who were brought along with someone else to the recital; and those who are needing persuasion.

Therefore, the preparation for a vocal recital – whether it’s a Junior Recital, Senior Recital, Graduate Recital, Elective Recital or some other type of recital performance – should be undertaken with a great deal of care.

IPA Source offers more than 12,000 International Phonetic Alphabet translations of opera arias, art songs, and Latin texts. Assembled in this post are a collection of texts for possible inclusion in a Baritone Recital. We’ve organized these recommendations by arias, composers, and finally include details and links to those texts from this list that appear in our database.
