Music reviews of Galuppi: Il Filosofo Di Campagna

Music Review: A perfect gem
Rating: 5 Stars

Galuppi produced several memorable numbers for this work. They are brought to vivid life by an outstanding cast and fine conducting. Anna Moffo was at the start of her career (this was recorded in 1956) and her clear soprano is stunning. Since the number of recordings from her early days is small, her contribution alone makes the disc worth hearing. Rolando Panerai in the title role is also outstanding and these two singers are ably complemented by another soprano, Elena Rizzieri, and by the tenor, Rolando Panerai. Since none of these singers, with the exception of Moffo, is now at all well known or broadly represented on available discs, their availability on this recording is a definite plus. But the main thing is that this is a recording of a fine work, ably sung, well conducted.

The sound, given the recording date, is amazingly good, and the disc is accompanied by libretto with English translation. All together a real winner.
