 Great Book, Great Service! October 24, 2008
MRL (Wisconsin, USA)
The book came fast, the order came altogether and the price was half of what I would have paid at the publisher's website.
 A very good book for beginning sopranos September 26, 2008
Kerlahna Marie (California, USA)
I am so glad that I bought this book. It has quite a few of the beginning to intermediate aria favorites. My voice teacher was quite happy to use this book to help me develop my voice rather than the favorite but extremely overused "24 Italian Songs and Arias".
I have sung quite a few songs out of this one, and I know I will sing more in the future.
This is a book that is for ALL sopranos. It contains arias for many different voices. Dramatic and Lyric sopranos alike will find songs within this book.
My only real complaint is that I am currently doing "Deh vieni, non tardar" and it doesn't have any optional variations at the end, and at the beginning there are stars where the appoggiaturas should be, instead of writing the actual appoggiatura.
The translations are quite useful and really help with the choosing of the songs. But in order to fully perform the song, it is still necessary to look up the words individually.
But overall a great buy, who can beat the price? All operatic sopranos will wind up singing at least one song from this book, I can guarantee that. Nothing beats owning your own music. :D
Arias for Soprano: Volume 1 June 2, 2008
Noelle M. Karnolt (Manchester, CT USA)
This book is by far my most tried and true friend. I bought it again because I not only overused and spilled numerous cups of coffee on my last book, but I took it with me everywhere and I would lose my own head if it weren't attached. Nonetheless, I digress.
I have had this book (in one form or another) since I started studying classically 10 years ago. It includes a good variety of arias from various operas across all languages and over the course of opera history. It is an excellent book for college students, because the music is very legible and approachable. Larson has included many stylistic suggestions (appogatura and melismas), as well as a program notes section that includes scene descriptions and translations (which are far better than all in-music texts in other soprano anthologies). I often find it easier to use this music in auditions rather than provide score copies to an accompanist.
This volume, along with the coloratura, oratorio, mezzo-soprano, and volume 2 soprano should be staples in any younger singer's library, and are great references for high school and college professors.

These books are great. I own the coloratura edition, also, along with the Standard Literature book. They are accurate and easy to read. There are also usually a few different options for cadenzas.
A must for Sopranos, students and pros March 11, 2007
Parvathi Subbiah (Oberlin, OH)
I was looking for this book everywhere and couldn't find it. Here in Amazon I found it absolutely new for almost 6$ less that the actual cost it has on the back cover. The edition is clear, easy to read and find and the translations are included. I highly recommend this book for all sopranos.
