Ideal Singing Investment,
By
This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium High Voice, Book & CD (Paperback)
This is a great collection of early Italian songs. Unlike the 24 Italian Songs and Arias published by Schirmer, this anthology consists of original historically accurate versions of the songs,as the composer wrote them. The other book has arrangements of the songs that were not at all what the composer had written. Furthermore, this book provides pages of biographical data of the composer, the source of the work, and what the work is about. Plus, it includes a word by word translation and phonetic symbols to help pronounce the Italian text. Beyond that, the songs also have a non literal translation that makes more sense to an English native, and there is a singable text in English as well. Beyond all that, there is an appendix on Italian Singing and pronunciation. Moreover, having it with the CD makes hearing how the accompaniment sounds, as well as the feel of the piece very accessible if you do not have a pianist with you, do not have piano skills youself, or do not even have a piano!This is an ideal investment for all singers.

This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium High Voice (Paperback)
Get this book if you are taking voice lessons or aspiring to be an opera singer/star. This is the book. The arrangements in the Yellow book--"24 Italian Songs and Arias" are really bad. Don't waste your time. Just get this one. However if you need the sheet music to "Pieta, Signore" get the yellow one as well.~Adele

Great Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: 26 Italian Songs and Arias: Medium High Voice (Paperback)
The accompanyment CD is TOO FAST! However Cecilia Bartoli's CD- If you Love Me- contains 6 or 7 of the best arias if you are intersted in hearing vocals.
