Arias for Bass: G. Schirmer Opera Anthology

• G. Schirmer Opera Anthology: Arias for Bass - Voice + Piano

Each aria has been painstakingly researched in preparing the new additions, creating what I believe, will be an eminently, credible, and useful source for this music. There are countless incidents were notes or words have been corrected to create a more substantiated presentation than in previous additions. Throughout the collections, one will find many spots where traditional cadenzas are recommended. Appropriate appoggiaturas, as defined by conservative application of tradition, are indicated as well. They are instances where an entirely refused piano reduction, more representative of the full score, has been created.These anthologies are for all of us who must remain students of our art throughout our lifetimes.’ - Robert L.
