This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature is confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.

A solid collection of standard tenor oratorio repertoire from the Baroque and Classical periods. The 'new music engravings' make for excellent readability, crucial for quick preparation or sight-reading on a gig. While typical for the genre, be aware it's full piano accompaniment rather than lead sheets with explicit chord symbols. The inclusion of cuttable obbligato parts is a nice practical touch for performances.

This anthology is meticulously edited and truly indispensable for collaborative pianists and vocal coaches working with tenors. The piano accompaniment is thoughtfully arranged, supporting the voice beautifully rather than just doubling. The clear 'new music engravings' and translations are vital for coaching. The inclusion of solo instrumental obbligato parts is a superb detail for achieving authentic performances.
