26 Italian Songs and Arias: An Authoritive Edition Based on Authentic Sources [Medium / High] (Italian Edition)

Customer Reviews:

A must for students at all levels

By Ray Squitieri (ray.squitieri@treas.sprint.com) - January 14, 1999

This book updates the 100-year old Schirmer edition of 17th and 18th century Italian Songs and Arias, used for 4 generations by most serious students of singing in all English-speaking countries. Paton's edition is into in the Schirmer edition, adds optional (and appropriate) vocal ornaments, and simplifies the accompanying harmonies. Paton's edition is also more useful to singers, as it contains three different translations of each song (word-for-word, singable, and the underlying emotional idea), and it transcribes all text into the international phonetic alphabet. The page layout is attractive. I use my copy every day.

5 Starts But With a Qualification

By Robert D. Glover Jr. "robert-g-near-nyc" - March 11, 2001

I own both this 26 song book/Cd as well as the 24 song book/CD from John Keene and Schirmer. I use the John Paton 26 song version in order to read the excellent one page introductions it provides for each song.. However my singing teacher feels that the piano accompaniments in the Paton book are pretentious, and he prefers the piano accompaniments in the Keene/Schirmer book. So, I use the CD and music from the Schirmer book but I do my research via the Paton book. The Keen/Schirmer book has a lot less melody ornamentation than the John Paton book. In my opinion, which is the opinion of a beginner, the ornamentation added to the melody in the John Paton book is excessive and is also confusing in that he never explains how to reconcile all the little notes he added, to the larger font melody notes that often seem to be at odds with the tinier notes. What is deeply, desperately need, I strongly feel, is a recording of tenors, sopranos, and baritones actually singing all 24 (or 26)... read more

classic arias all sopranos should know

By Amandalyn R. Shock "wishful singing" - September 21, 2008

This book of arias is a must have for all aspiring classical music divas. The songs are technically challenging but not unattainable. I really enjoy the English synopsis. This is a good book for competitions and auditions.
