(Vocal Collection). The G. Schirmer Opera Anthology series revolutionized opera aria study after its release in 1991. There are so many wonderful soprano arias that a second volume was warranted. 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.

(Vocal Collection). An excellent volume of coloratura arias has been added to the G. Schirmer Opera Anthology series. With 30 arias in English, Italian, German, French and Russian, this is the largest collection of coloratura operatic excerpts ever published. Because of the nature of the material, tradition-based performance suggestions are liberally found throughout the volume. For instance, you will find standard vocal variations for the "Doll Song" from The Tales of Hoffmann included in the edition, along with the original vocal line. Like the other volumes in the ground-breaking series, there are historical and plot notes about each aria, new engravings, and new translations for study.

Mozart's concert arias were written for a variety of purposes: some were intended for recital purposes and others as substitutions for arias in his own or other operas. All, however, display the remarkable beauty, depth of feeling, and limitless musical invention that mark the composer's finest vocal writing. Convenient and affordable, this compilation of arias for soprano comprises a dozen of Mozart's best and loveliest works in the genre, including "Ah, lo previdi," K.272; "Voi avete un cor fedele," K.217; and "Chi sà, chi sà, qual sia," K.582.
