Sixty Songs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Except for La Bonne Chanson and the later cycles, the bulk of Faure's excellent song output appeared in three collections of 20 songs each, published in both high- and medium-voice versions.100 years ago, in 1908, he published the third of those, and made final revisions to the first and second.This Dover edition reprints all 60 (medium-voice versions) together.It's especially useful because the E.B.Marks/Belwin reprints of the three volumes are hard to find (with so many publication & distribution changes over the years), and might not even be available anymore; and the Hamelle/Leduc (official) French editions are surely more expensive.Always be careful with Dover's reprints, which in general are of uneven quality as some come from inadequate or undesirable sources; but this volume is a good one.(A bit weak in visual quality, coming from old originals, but strong on authority and completeness.)
