Arias for Baritone (Cantolopera Collection, Vol. 2; Book and CD) [Audio CD]

Hal Leonard Corp. (Creator)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2002

Cantolopera is a series that proposes a totally new way to approach the great opera repertoire: versions for voice and piano of the most famous arias, accompanied by a compact disc containing the corresponding orchestral bases, recorded with a 130-piece orchestra, to allow the professional, the student and the opera fan to practice, as well as a version sung by an established artist for reference. Each volume contains the lyrics of the arias plus a short summary and background information on the "Compagnia d'Opera Italiana" Orchestra and the performers. Baritone Volume 2 includes: Largo al foctotum (Rossini) * Udite, udite, o rustici (Donizetti) * Tutto e deserto ... Il balen del suo sorriso (Verdi) * Cortigiani, vil razza dannata (Verdi) * Di Provenza il mar, il suol (Verdi) * Tre sbirri... Una carozza... (Puccini) * Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre (Bizet).

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware copy protection scheme, May 23, 2009

This review is from: Arias for Baritone (Cantolopera Collection, Vol. 2; Book and CD) (Audio CD)

The CD is published by BMG, makers of that nifty rootkit virus they installed on computers when you tried to listen to a CD on a PC. This disc appears to be using some kind of copy protection scheme. It took an hour for me to import into iTunes on my mac Mini. It should have taken 5 minutes. I'm all in favor of protecting intellectual property. But when you add copy protection to a CD, you can't really call it a CD, because it may not work in all players.
That aside, the scores are fairly easy to read. The recording is fine.
