Author Description

This guide (available on CD or cassette) is a unique audio aid to help choirs and conductors pronounce the foreign-language texts of their favorite opera choruses. Four native speakers slowly and clearly read the Italian, French, German, and Russian texts from the Oxford Choral Classics book, and include further explanatory remarks and tips on how to achieve the authentic sound of each language. This is an essential rehearsal tool for conscientious choirs.
