Misleading - don't waste your $$
A nice collection of songs, but..! Add this to the towering stack of songbooks that exploit a current artist's name to get us to fork over our $$ for antique arrangements, most of them in keys that would be un-singable for Stacey Kent herself. What's more, there doesn't appear to be any explanation on, in or about this songbook to alert prospective users to this fact. This has been going on for a very long time, but that doesn't make it right! Misleading practices like this reflect very poorly on everyone involved: publishers, vendors and the artists.

Scandalous !
The book does not contain accurate transcriptions. It looks as if the publisher found random music to the song titles and bound them all together in the book.

NOT the "Best" of Stacy Kent
I was looking for easy lead sheets that I could give to an accompanist to sight read for a last minute gig. We had no time to transpose. Pages contained within are not Stacy Kent arrangements nor are they in the keys that Stacy Kent sings in. It looks as if the publisher found random music to the song titles and bound them all together in the book. The book does not contain accurate transcriptions. If you are looking for the Stacy Kent versions, I would NOT purchase this song book.

BEST OF STACEY KENT
This is a very nice looking book and has some very good songs. The pages are large and easy to read. Has everything you need.
