Coloratura Arias for Soprano (G Schirmer Opera Anthology Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The goal of the editors does not appear to have been to present the most difficult coloratura soprano pieces, but to set out a range of music that the student and instructor could use in order to develop flexibility in the voice.Well done!

An excellent volume of coloratura arias has been added to the G. Schirmer Opera Anthology series.

Arias for Baritone: G. Schirmer Opera Anthology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This a valuable anthology and has much to recommend it. The cleaness of the lay-out the use of original language only with a literal and literate translation by Martha Gerhart at the beginning of the of the score and thechoice of arias for the young singer are commendable. The inclusion ofcadenze and oppure, not found in other collections, is valuable. However,all of the anthologies edited by Larsen have the same problem. Page turns.Larsen is a fine pianist and should know better. I have had many pianistscomplain about or refuse to play from Larsen scores. Whenever a difficultpassage to play occurs it is invaribly on a page turn. The collection is agreat study tool, but less than ideal in performance.

The Oratorio Anthology: The Vocal Library Mezzo-Soprano/Alto (Vocal Collection) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Love this book!

I completely agree with the two reviews below about the book being difficult to hold open. However, you could easily break the binding the put it in a binder yourself, or copy it and have it as sheets.

This anthology has wonderful pieces for alto soloists, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for alto solo pieces!

Product Description:
This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.

Mario Lanza: Tenor in Exile (Amadeus) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having just read this so called biography, I am amazed at some of the comments from readers and reviewers alike. "Well researched"?"Well documented"? "Balanced"? Thebook is full of errors!There are blatant mistakes and distortions onvirtually every page!E.G.Page 15: Filignano is in the Molise region notAbruzzi. Page 37: The RCA contract was signed in February 1945 not October1944. Page 47: The apartment was not rent free. Lanza paid $75 per monthfor it.Page 219: Lanza and Di Stefano never met. I know Di Stefano. Theyonly spoke twice on the telephone.Need I go on? I have spent a lifetimeresearching the life and career of Lanza (the last 20 years working on abiography.)I cannot believe that Amadeus actually published this almostcompletely inaccurate book. As for Mr. Bessette, I don't know his motivesfor attempting this futile exercise, but the mere fact that he relied on AlTeitelbaum as his main source of information says it all.

Pronunciation Guide for the French Song Anthology Bk/ 3Cds (The Vocal Library) Review

Product Description:
with IPA and word for word translations and CDs of recorded diction lessons This is a companion to The French Song Anthology, edited by Carol Kimball and Richard Walters, with 60 songs by 24 composers. The diction lessons were recorded by coach, conductor and diction specialist Pierre Vallet. The diction for each song is recorded twice: first recited as an actor would speak it, showing flow of the language and the mood, followed by a slow, deliberate lesson, allowing time for the student to repeat each line. This experienced language coach adapts the "R" in French in the slow versions as recommended for classical singers. He is also very sensitive to liaisons between word sounds in the musical settings.

La Cenerentola (Kalmus Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The music appears to have been put through a photocopier thrice too often.The Italian is difficult to read and the music is very tight on the page.There are no critical notes and no indication about what is editorial and what is Rossini.
This edition DOES NOT contain the exciting Alidoro aria that was discovered in an Italian library to replace his rather ho-hum original.
However, this is still the standard edition of the vocal score used by most opera companies and has been used for many years.It is considerably less expensive and more convenient than the two volume critical edition.If you're in the opera, this is the best choice.If you're studying/conducting the opera, get the critical edition.

Prima Donna's Album: 42 Celebrated Arias from Famous Operas (Vocal Collection) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is one of the most extensive compilations of the great, lighter soprano arias that I've seen either online or in music libraries. It has a variety of arias that makes this album very useful for nearly any lyric, coloratura and lighter soprano from intermediate to professional level. This book is definitely not suited for beginners in terms of performance; but thinking back to my early days as an aspiring singer I think I would have very much liked to own this book if not only to follow along with the songs I dreamed of singing as an adult.

This book includes much in terms of grace notes that are typically sung, but does not include any optional melismatic passages at all. Usually there will be a smaller staff illustrating such options; but in the case of this book there is usually enough room in between systems to write in your favorite runs.

All in all I would recommend this book to any soprano, teacher, or voice coach because it is a great addition to any home, school, or studio music library.

24 Italian Songs and Arias - Medium High Voice (Book only) (Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although the music in this book has been used "ad infinitum" since the late 1880's, even the most rudimentary scholarship has shown that the editing (and in at least one case, the composition) of these pieces is not to be trusted.

The editor of "The 24" and its sister two volume set "Anthology of Italian song" is Alessandro Parisotti.Mr. Parisotti was a publisher who was suspiciously eager to have his own edited works published.This "24" has its share of dubious songs. Three quick examples:

1.) "Se Tu M'ami" is attributed to Pergolesi, but the style is laughably un-Pergolesi-like.No original of the score exists before Mr. Parisotti "discovered" it in time to publish the original 24. It is quite likely that Parisotti is the composer.
2.) "Il mio bel foco" is fine until the last 11 measures, where once again there is no original of what's in "the 24". It appears that Parisotti sliced, diced and re-composed the last 11 measures including French sixth chords, and a piano accompaniment which is distinctly not from the Baroque era.
3.) "Danza Danza fanciulla..." does have an original; it's all figured bass (no treble accompaniment written at all.)It's OK to place your own accompaniment there, but Parisotti's offbeat (and unnecessarily difficult) accompaniment does not follow the typical contrapuntal style of the Baroque period at all.

There are several other problems with the realizations of these 24 pieces - too many to go into here, but worth exploring in research.

That being said, Parisotti does get credit for at least noticing these pieces and arranging them for student voices (which may or may not have been his intent).The current edition is ridiculously cheap - which actually reflects the rather large (and much improved) collections of Baroque Italian songs that are out there.

It still (for some reason) remains a staple of too many voice teachers out there (possibly because they are "comfortable" in some way), so accompanists should continue to purchase it due to the large number of voice students and performers who (unfortunately) rely on it.

It probably deserves two stars, but because it's receiving way too many five star reviews, I'm giving it just one.

Arias for Mezzo-Soprano: G. Schirmer Opera Anthology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a must-own for any mezzo-soprano (as are the corresponding volumes for any other voice type.) I daresay this is the anthology standard for aspiring opera stars.I purchased mine when starting college and learned my first aria from it--"Non so piu, cosa son".Ten years later I am still finding pieces that fit my voice as it grows into works by Bizet, Massenet, Donizetti.And I know that I will continue to use it in years to come as I grow into the luscious arias of Dalilah or perhaps Mascagni's Lola.

Having had the opportunity to work with Dr. Robert Larsen, I can say that he is one of the most knowledgeable people in the business about opera and how to get young people started.The translations provided are not poetic--they are accurate, true translations!The plot summaries are brief but helpful, enough to get you started, but short enough to encourage you to do your own work.Larsen notates alternate endings, appogioturi, and other traditional performance notes.I guarantee, if you buy this book, you'll use it until it falls apart.I'm on my second one now.

Arias for Soprano, Volume 2: G. Schirmer Opera Anthology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although not all of the arias in this edition (or any edition for that matter) will fit one particular fach, the range and selection of pieces is really wonderful in this volume.I prefer it to the first volume, only because it has a few lesser known gems that are great audition pieces, whereas the first volume covers mostly pieces everyone has heard a million times before (though there are some of those in this volume too!).

Over all, well edited, wonderful translations and very easy to read.

The music is predominantly for lyric soprano. As in the original volumes, these are new, clean editions, with historical and plot information about each of the 32 arias included.
