MUSIC MINUS ONE Presents:
VERDI Arias For Soprano
MMO CDG 4027
Accompaniment: John Wustman (piano)
Nineteenth-century Italian composer and national hero Giuseppe Verdi provides the collection of bravura soprano pieces on this album, and John Wustman accompanies you in your own interpretations.
Includes a high-quality printed vocal score and a compact disc with stereo accompaniments to each piece.
What's in a MUSIC MINUS ONE (MMO) Edition?
An MMO compact disc is a recording of a selection, or a concerto, performed by full
orchestra or chamber ensemble or jazz band, to which you would contribute the solo part,
using the sheet music provided with each album.
All new and re-mastered MMO classic titles include multiple trackbreaks on each compact disc
for easy practicing, cross-indexed throughout for the printed score.
And subtle taps before movements which start without an orchestral introduction mean you know the
tempo every time you play!

This product is for musicians, teachers, students
and anyone who loves music. These CD's play on standard CD players or CD ROM drives in your
Mac or PC. Through the use of stereo
recordings which separate the soloist and accompanist, you have the ability to really hear the nuances of each
performance in addition to another entire recording where you are the soloist.

Your Accompanist:
John Wustman is one of the few accompanists in this country who has achieved renown and critical acclaim in this most challenging of art forms.
Mr. Wustman has developed that rare quality of bringing a strength and character to his accompaniments which create
a true collaboration between the singer and the pianist. And this is as it should be, for in the art song especially,
the piano part is not a mere rhythmic and tonal background, but an integral part of the
composer's intent and creation. Thus, on this recording, Mr. Wustman provides not only the necessary accompaniment
but also through hsi artistry a stylistic and interpretive suggestion for the study of the music.
Among the many arstists he has accompanied in past years are Gianna d'Angelo, Irina Arkhipova, Montserrat
Caballe, Regine Crespin, Nicolai Gedda, Evelyn Lear, Mildred Miller, Anna Moffo, Brigit Nilsson, Jan Peerce,
Roberta Peters, elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Renata Scotto, Cesare Siepi, Giulietta Simionato, Thomas Stewart, Cesare
Valetti and William Warfield..... and now You! ;)
Mr. Wustman has become known to millions of television viewers as the accompanist to Luciano
Pavarotti in his many appearances in concert and recital.
