"Both the charming Ravel one-act opera and the Rossini selections feature the wonderful Teresa Berganza in her absolute prime, but only the Rossini have been recorded well enough to be appreciated. I know that the Ravel is a superb performance because I was in the audience at one of the Chicago Lyric's run in l965. However, this recording is so distant as to border on the nonexistent. The Rossini excerpts are taken from complete recordings available on Opera d'oro."
