At first glance, this might appear simply to be a "greatest hits" collection from Vivaldi's operas, but the truth is a little more unusual than that. Editorial harmonisations of the figured bass are shown in small type.This is another volume – Volume 27, in fact! – in Naïve/Opus 111's ongoing series of music by Vivaldi – specifically, manuscripts located in the National University Library in Turin. Some arias have not been readily available in straightforward piano score for some years. Others have been selected because of their general usefulness for teaching or for solo performance purposes. I have provided many of them with singable English translations. Many of the Alto arias selected here are amongst the most frequently performed extracts from the great Oratorios.
