Author: Edward Greenfield

The complete version of Il barbiere from which these highlights are taken was for me the most enjoyable new opera set of 1983, and this selection of numbers is nicely tailored to demonstrate its fizzing qualities. Some may well be disappointed that neither of the Count's arias nor Basilio's ''La calunnia'' is included, but the two most obvious arias are here, Figaro's ''Largo al factotum'' and Rosina's ''Una voce poco fa'', giving plenty of room for ensembles, eight of the most delectable including the whole of the Quintet of Act 2 with its hilarious ''Bouna sera'' episode, here superbly done. I rather agree with JBS that the singing is too often marred by use of the intrusive aitch, but the zest and exhilaration together with vocal acting from soloists of great character make all these performances most persuasive. Since hearing the original LPs I have grown used to the CD version (411 058-2PH3, 4/84), which made me register again the usual relative drawbacks of LP, but by any standards the sound is excellent, as is the production.'
