4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent resource for teachers of singing.
Emmons gives clear instruction and good advice about constructing, preparing for, and executing song recitals.

More than informational, no less than inspiring,

This review is from: The Art of the Song Recital (Paperback)
The most useful tools are the repertoire lists and sample programs. However, Emmons/Sonntag have put together a most universal approach for all parties involved in the recital including inspiring information of what often seems to be a lost art form.

This review is from: The Art of the Song Recital (Paperback)
As an experienced international recitalist and teacher, I bought this book because it's title suggests that it would be a useful resource for my students who are typically young, aspiring professional singers. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. This book repeatedly states the blindingly obvious, offers questionable opinions as facts, and proposes some highly impractical programme options. For better advice buy books by Sergius Kagen!
