GIROLAMO CRESCENTINI (1762-1846): 12 Ariettas for Soprano and Guitar, MAURO GIULIANI (1781-1829): 6 Ariettas, Op. 95, Waltzes for Guitar, Op. 57, Nos. 1 & 6.

Description: More ariettas from Crescentini (see 02O033 for the first disc containing some), the last of the truly famous castrati alongside some examples from the famous guitarist-composer Giuliani. For what it's worth, the traycard says that the Crescentini are "world premiere recording of original version" which may have to do with the voice-type (Amarres is also listed as "soprano sfogato"). Texts available on-line. Veronica Amarres (soprano), Sandro Volta (guitar).
