The music on this record has been chosen from the very best solo literature for the voice. The selections are performed by the brilliant, experienced singers appearing in the New York area at the time these recordings were undertaken. Each Record contains the complete performance and the piano accompaniment. The accompaniments were recorded with the pianist listening to a playback of the complete performance. In this way, the tempo, phrasing, and subtle nuances of the soloist were re-created. A printed copy of the solo part with cues and rhythmic notation is enclosed with each record. In addition, a performance guide with comprehensive technical advice, personal insights, and musical illustrations is presented by the soloist. In essence, you receive a master-class with the soloist.
