a generouse compilation .......2004-12-13
This is a generous budget-price highlight CD , taken from a wonderful complete set.
The failoni chamber orchestra is charming and joyful,
Servile, Romero and De-grandis are very good in their roles. the rosina Sonia ganasi is the weakest link but she dosen't spoil the fun. she's not that bad, actually.
Ramon Vargas is a most sucessful almaviva.
This is my favourite recording of "the barber" on CD, If you're looking for a highlight CD of this opera Don't miss this very enjoyable performance!
An absolutly must have.......1999-11-21
Naxos should be placed higher tah anyone in the industry for bringing such fantastic rescord at an unbelivable price.
Vargas sing with warm and the whole record is fantastic
A collector's necessity........1999-09-27
This recording shines in ways dozens of others don't. The conductor has a high-voltage pace that makes you breathe fast. Basilio's voice is a superbly clear and deep one, as should it be. The slander aria is excellent. The few seconds during which he alone sings "Buona sera" are the most enjoyable on any recording. The count is also relatively superb, and his last aria isn't cut.
On the bad side, this recording's Rosina could be blown into oblivion by Cecilia Bartoli, who plays the role on CD in Patane's 1988 recording. The Bartolo has an attractively rich voice but Enzo Dara's accuracy is more fulfilling. And finally, there's a sweetness in how Ramey sings La Calunnia in his recordings that isn't quite matched here. Ramey also seems to emphasize the word "sorte" in the rapid-fire finale of the aria, which oscillates a rhythmic flavor into the aria that isn't in this one.
Yet this recording's a necessity on the collector's shelf.
Excellent intro to a popular opera........1999-09-14
For the value, this is an excellent introduction to Gioacchino Rossini's famous opera, "The Barber of Seville". Roberto Servile makes a good Figaro; his singing is enjoyable to listen to. The Failoni Chamber Orchestra is excellent and nearly flawless in its performance. At almost 1 hr. and 20 min., the CD includes enough highlights from Rossini's work to satisfy opera lovers -- both neophytes and veterans.

Horne Sunk by Second Rate Cast.......2007-01-22
For starters, Marilyn Horne is in the most beautiful voice I have ever heard her in this recording. She is a great Rosina. Unfortunately, this is not a one-woman opera! Leo Nucci's Barber is second rate at best, mostly because of his poor singing of fast runs and scales. Paolo Barbacini is downright terrible as Count Almaviva. His voice is so hoarse that he sounds like he's been shouting at football games for three days straight. I would advise against buying this compilation because there are a couple of better ones out there. My choice is the one with the riveting Agnes Baltsa, Thomas Allen, and Francisco Araiza. That is one all-around enjoyable performance.
So close, but..........2005-06-16
This is almost a great recording. Chailly, Nucci, Horne, Ramey, Dara, the La Scala forces, all are supurb. Tenor Paolo Barbacini, as the Count, however - well, let's assume he was ill during the recording sesssions, because he sounds just awful. The tone is forced, the coloratura is hammered and throaty. The poor man seems to be straining for every note, and the sound is not pretty. For me, at least, this painful performance ruins an otherwise splendid recording. Be warned.
fine performances all around.......2004-12-24
Il Babiere suffers some maligning from folks who know it only from What's Opera Doc, but it is a great opera. Leo Nucci is fantastic as Figaro. Moreover, what can you say about Marilyn Horne as Rosina? Her singing of Una Voce poco Fa is outstanding. It's sometimes forgotten that although this is a comic opera, it is squarely in the bel canto tradition, and these singers each turn in performances that can truly be called beautiful singing. A very fine performance of a great work.
Five Stars For Nucci.......2000-06-10
If any of you have watched Saturday morning cartoons this opera might sound familiar. In fact the Barber of Seville is a classic! Leo Nucci is one of the top opera personalities in the world! His passion for music is unsurpassed! If you are a baby boomer this opera will 100% bring back memories of the good days. I recommend it to any generation!

It's in English . . . sort of.......2005-08-30
If you are looking for a minimally adequate "Don Pasquale," here it is. I take it on faith that the (adequate) singers are warbling in English--although long passages might just as well be in Serbo-Croatian or Old Icelandic.
"Don Pasquale" is, nevertheless, a true comic and melodic gem that rises above even the most ham-handed, mush-mouthed performance, hence the three stars.

A Superb Barber...........2007-01-22
I purchased this CD on the hunch that it would have been recorded before Agnes Baltsa developed an unpleasant edge to her voice. My hunch was correct, it was one of the first things Miss Baltsa recorded and she sounds wonderful. She is such an exciting singer that you are riveted to your seat. Her coloratura work on this CD is astounding. Francisco Araiza's coloratura work is also excellent, very clean, fast, and with accurate intonation. Thomas Allen also does a great job, even if some of his fast singing is not at the level of Baltsa's and Araiza's. I had to listen to this recording twice right away; I enjoyed it that much. The only negative is that this "highlights" CD only contains about 59 minutes of music. I kind of wish I'd bought the whole opera.
