Music reviews of Rossini - L'Italiana in Algeri / Horne · Ramey · Battle · Palacio · Zaccaria · I Solisti Veneti · Scimone

Music Review: The Best Version Available
Rating: 5 Stars

There have been only a few singers who have transformed the repertoire. Maria Callas was one, Sam Ramey is another. If you listen to Pasero's Assur you may admire it, but if you have heard Ramey you probably won't even recognize it. Pasero leaves so many of the notes out it becomes an different piece - one that he could sing. In a real sense then Ramey has invented the serious Rossini bass for the twentieth century.

In this recording Palacio is much less awful than he often has been. If you have heard his contribution to Ermione, be assured, he not that bad. He does not ruin this fine recording.

We all regret that Kathleen Battle went bonkers. Here she is good example of what we lost.
