(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.
