Music reviews of Rossini - Il barbiere di Siviglia / Prey ? Berganza ? Alva ? Dara ? Montarsolo ? LSO ? Abaddo
Music Review: Bufa without being buffoonish
Rating: 5 Stars
Excellent recording for a newcomer! If you can only have one Barber I'd reccomend this one unless you're a history (opera) buff, in which case you probably can't just have one anyways! Alva and Berganza do a fantastic job (Bartoli who?) and Prey lives up to his reputation as the best Figaro ever recorded.
Description of Rossini - Il barbiere di Siviglia / Prey ? Berganza ? Alva ? Dara ? Montarsolo ? LSO ? Abaddo
This is a nicely entertaining Barber, with just the right sense of fun running through it to avoid slapstick and still bring a sophisticated smile to one's lips. Teresa Berganza is so right, so unexaggerated, so pyrotechnically capable yet filled with good taste, that it's impossible to find fault with her Rosina. Luigi Alva's Count is classy and honey-toned up to the top of the staff, where the voice simply stops blooming; he's also not as good as one might wish with Rossini's difficult fast music. Hermann Prey's Figaro is similarly impaired--the coloratura is just not pristine--but his style, attitude, and intelligence are pure gold; he's vastly entertaining. The other low-voiced men are ideal Rossinians. Abbado holds the whole thing together--this is a very satisfying performance. Robert LevineGeneral CDs
