ABRSM – A Selection Of Italian Arias Low Voice Vol 2

These authoritative editions of well-known arias are an ideal introduction to singing in Italian, as well as providing appealing material for the advanced performer. They contain a varied selection of operatic arias, songs and movements from solo cantatas by well-known composers, including Monteverdi, Alessandro Scarlatti and Handel, as well as examples by lesser-known figures, such as Caccini, Perti and Caldara. Volume 1 includes arias ranging from the rarely heard to the more familiar, such as ‘Lascia chi’s ping’ and the cavatina ‘Caro mio ben’, while Volume II contains many of the best-known arias from the repertoire, including ‘Gia ill sole dal Gange’, ‘Sebben, curdle’ and ‘Vittoria, vittoria’.
