Vocalises by Giulio Marco Bordogni (1789-1856) in large, handsome books, together with audio compact discs of Bordogni's own piano accompaniments created by computer synthesis. Bordogni's simple accompaniments make practice more fun while helping improve rhythm, intonation, endurance, phrasing, articulation, breathing, and legato style.
