This is the first of a two-volume set of the best Italian Songs of the 17th and 18th centuries. Really wonderful songs of truly lasting merit, from such masters as Caccini, Monteverdi and Scarlatti. These classic stereo recordings are now digitally remastered from the original 30-inch analogue tapes for truly lifelike sound! Includes a high-quality printed vocal score and a compact disc featuring digitally remastered stereo accompaniments to each piece.
