Notes & Reviews:

This is the second volume in Opera Rara's five-part series devoted to the neglected genre of salon music by 19th century composers. This volume presents a collection of songs and cantatas, all written for drawing room concerts. The set begins with a brilliant cantata by Ferdinando Paer written for soprano with piano and harp. A fully illustrated booklet is included, with a detailed history of the salon genre.
