Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia / Abbado, Prey, Berganza, Malagu, et al

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Of the recordings of Barber of Seville currently in print, this 1971 set is a good first choice. The first one based on the critical edition of the score, its authenticity (even with a few cuts, most of them minor) is a welcome relief from the bizarre interpolations of some other versions. It boasts a very fine cast in Teresa Berganza's warm, fluent mezzo Rosina--she is arguably the best interpreter of this important role yet to be recorded, Luigi Alva's well-considered Count, and the late Hermann Prey's dashing Figaro. Conductor Claudio Abbado has used the original instrumentation as well as the original score and the original voice part for Rosina, and he conducts his singers sympathetically. --Sarah Bryan Miller
