Summary: Great Book!
Comment: 26 Italian Songs and Arias is definitly more authoritative than the G. Schirmer. I love the phonetics, translations, and notes.
However, the book can be disappointing. The added ornamention is clumsy most of the time, and the accompaniments are harder to play, and not as supportive for young singers. This book is great for reference, since it contains information on the composers, suggestions for ornaments, and accurate translations. But I wouldn't use it for a beginning singer.

Summary: Good book for Voice students and College voice majors
Comment: I used this as my textbook for my Intermediate Voice class at Fullerton College. THe class was intended for voice majors or non advance non majors. I really like the book and I think that it works for beginners through advanced singer who want to learn classical vocal technique and vocal literature. This is an update version of the old Schrimer edition which I bough during my high school vocal lessons to prepare me to be a college voice major. I like the book becuase of its composer backround information and backround on where the arias came from. It also has a singable translation of the Italian text and a literal translation of the text. I also like the convience of the piano accompaniment CD because it is a useful practic aid. I also find the CD helpful becuase I am not yet have the piano skills high enough to accompany my self. I also like the book's IPA transcription and the guide to Italian pronunciation. I liekt his book better than the Schirmer edition becuase it is more useful for self study and is more accurate then the Schirmer becusae it comes from the authentic sources.This is must have book for any clasical vocalist or college or high school voice student.

Summary: Ideal investment for all singers
Comment: This is a great collection of early Italian songs. Unlike the 24 Italian Songs and Arias published by Schirmer, this anthology consists of original historically accurate versions of the songs,as the composer wrote them. The other book has arrangements of the songs that were not at all what the composer had written. Furthermore, this book provides pages of biographical data of the composer, the source of the work, and what the work is about. Plus, it includes a word by word translation and phonetic symbols to help pronounce the Italian text. Beyond that, the songs also have a non literal translation that makes more sense to an English native, and there is a singable text in English as well. Beyond all that, there is an appendix on Italian Singing and pronunciation. Moreover, having it with the CD makes hearing how the accompaniment sounds, as well as the feel of the piece very accessible if you do not have a pianist with you, do not have piano skills youself, or do not even have a piano!
This is an ideal investment for all singers.
