This is a sampler of Italian songs and arias from the 19th century. The French items were all written by Italian composers who had gone to Paris to make a living. Some of these selections will appear on future CDs which will be more focused. All will feature rarely performed or recorded music.

This CD is a collection of arias written by most of the Italian composers who followed Giuseppe Verdi. The exception is Giacomo Puccini who we will be covering in a separate album. There will also be a CD exclusively covering the works of Pietro Mascagni. We have tried to cover the maturation of each composer starting with each of their earliest works.
