Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Lots of fun!.......2004-06-21

Hearing the Barber of Seville sung in English helped me realize what a comic opera this is. I would highly recommend this set for someone trying to listen to this (or any) opera for the first time.

5 out of 5 stars A triumph.......2000-12-18

Even for those who usually find some reason to object to opera sung in English, this recording should prove a delight from start to finish. Apart from some occasional sluggishness in the conducting, this Barber fizzes from beginning to end. The crowning glory is the superb Rosina of Della Jones - agile in coloratura and very funny throughout. Grab it!
