    Excellent singers, excellent cuts
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2001*

I'm not a Callas fan, i'm a Rossini fan. This recording is cut (like nearly all the Callas recording)in all places they could do it: the end of the Conte first aria and his entirely final rondo, the duet Figaro-Conte, the La Calunnia's Aria, the Bartolo Aria, the Recitatives. I hate cuts, because after them, the Opera remain like a Operetta or vaudeville. Nevertheless, Callas play the best soprano Rosina, joined to de los Angeles, and we encounter the funniest and most vigorous XXth century's Fígaro: Tito Gobbi, who also is the scariest Scarpia in the same century (for me and for many people). Luigi Alva is fresh in this recording, so you will enjoy his parts, but I enjoyed more Benelli in the Varviso recording (DECCA 1964), because he face succesfully all the music written for the Count, without cuts. The role of Bartolo doesn't work too much under this light german singer (Ollendorf) because you feel you are hearing a birdcatcher (Papageno)not a Old Physician: Dara and Corena are better. Nicola Zaccaria do his part with a elegant bass' timbre, but without power. The orchestration is excellent under Galliera. My final recmendation, buy this recording, but buy the Varviso 1964 recording too, which is very cheap and it has great singers- Berganza, Benelli, Corena and Ghiaurov-,so you will fill the hollow that this recording has, at less in the musical numbers (not recitatives).

    A treasure reclaimed
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015*

This was a gift for my record-collector friend who had to part with his LP's.  This was a set he particularly treasured, and he wanted it on CD.  Imagine my delight at finding this set in virtually pristine condition!  Thank you, Goodwill of LA.  Somebody's loss is my gain, and my friend was delighted.

    Il Barbiere di Siviglia
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2002*

After purchase of a disappointing version of Rossini's Barber, I heard this recording.  Historically definitive, we are fortunate to have this excellent version available.What is so great?  The Philharmonia Orchestra, Luigi Avla as Almaviva, Callas as Rosina, and Gobbi as the Barber, along with the chorus, all brilliantly capture the Italian flavor of Rossini's genius.  The EMI sound quality is perfect!  One may listen over and over just to hear Luigi Alva's splendid interpretation.  Quite funny as well!
