Richard Wagner's operas unfold worlds of sound that are radiantly expressive and intensely effective. This edition brings together the most important soprano arias from the operas, including gems from Das Liebesverbot and Die Feen.
Renowned soprano Petra Lang contributed to this volume as editor, helping to arrange the arias in a version for concert performance that respects the original text.
Numerous additional materials, such as vocal technique notes and translation aids, make this edition a valuable companion for artistic work. An indispensable tool for advanced and professional sopranos as well as vocal teachers.
The edition is based on the piano reductions of the complete edition.

Jacques Offenbach's more than 100 stage works are an endless treasure trove of vocal highlights with highly different musical moods and lyrical themes. To mark the 200th birthday of the great composer in 2019, which is at the same time the year of the 20th anniversary of the Offenbach Edition Keck OEK, the editor and Offenbach expert Jean-Christophe Keck has assembled a selection of arias. The four-part collection arranged according to voice category shows a rather unknown, romantic side of Offenbach. Apart from rediscovered works and first editions, however, the collection is not complete without some of his unrivalled hits.
The volume for baritone/bass proves that Offenbach also wrote varied rewarding repertoire pieces for deep male voice: drinking song, prayer and arioso show the facets of the mercenary soldier Conrad from the grand opera Les Fées du Rhin, whereas the Prince from Fantasio, the pedlar from Le 66 or the Great Mogul from Barkouf are perfectly fun-loving characters. Apotheker und Perückenmacher, too, was one of Offenbach's great comedy successes. Of a more lyrical character is the husband of Madame Favart, an opéra comique from the late years of the composer's life.
Romantic Offenbach is aimed at fully trained and budding professionals as well as at Offenbach fans of every shade and colour, providing repertoire pieces for recitals, studies or private music-making.

To whom did Beethoven address this song cycle “An die ferne Geliebte” (“To the Distant Beloved”), which he completed at the age of 45 in April 1816? Was it to the same person, to whom his passionate letter to the “Immortal Beloved” had already been dedicated in 1812? The source of Beethoven's song text is also shrouded in mystery. We only know the poet's name: Alois Jeitteles, a budding doctor and writer, about whose relationship with Beethoven we have no details. Whatever else, these songs provide a moving insight into the composer's inner state, as he managed to find new creative strength after a difficult year.
For this cycle, Beethoven had a high voice in mind. For all lower registers, Henle presents this quintessential work of the song repertoire in transpositions for medium and low voices. In addition to a fascinating preface by Beethoven specialist Helga Lühning, this practical Urtext edition also includes the complete song text in English and French translations.

The Four Serious Songs, op. 121, was to be the last work Brahms published before his death. These songs are closely linked to the death of his beloved friend Clara Schumann in May 1896. It is reported that after her funeral, Brahms, in tears, performed the songs in the circle his friends. When the composer himself died shortly thereafter, in April 1897, the Four Songs were transformed into his own musical memorial. Owing to their musical expressive power and poignancy, these songs for low voice, based on verses from the Old and New Testaments, number among the milestones in the Romantic song repertoire to the present day – be it in lessons or on the concert stage.
The Henle Urtext edition offers the scholarly verified musical text of the New Brahms Complete Edition. In the preface, editor Johannes Behr presents interesting insights into the genesis and early reception of the pieces.
