This fine compilation of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century arias, ariettas, and canzonettas offers all classically trained singers a "required" repertoire of music in a single volume. Representing the finest work of 19 composers, these short works are ideal for performance on all levels--from the informal pleasures of singing at home to recitals and formal concert presentations. Includes such favorites as Carissimi's "Vittoria, vittoria!," Caldara's "Sebben crudele," Cesti's "Intorno all'idol mio," Gluck's "O del mio dolce ardor," Handel's "Ah, mio cor," Pergolesi's "Se tu m'ami," Antonio Scarlatti's "O cessate di paigarmi," and 23 others. Unabridged republication of Arie Antiche, edited by Alessandro Parisotti, originally published by G. Ricordi & C., Milan, 1885.
