    Most of these "concert arias" are so wonderful,
    even some of the early ones, they could be sneaked
    into "Figaro" or Don Giovanni" and fit right in.
    Just try "Vado, ma dove" K. 583. I wish this
    went on for about ten more minutes--have you
    ever thought that while listening to Wagner?
    Kiri Te Kanawa (Decca) and Price are both
    good in slightly different ways (KTK more delicate, MP
    more dramatic). But though my Ameling cassette is
    long worn out, I think she does it best.
    You Mozart fans: grab this Decca set before it
    disappears. (And yes, it has complete texts
    and translations).

    Is "Ch'io mi scordi di te? - Non temer, amato bene" K. 505 the only concert aria that has a piano part?
