CD Reviews

A breathtaking performance!

Sophia | Moscow, Russia | 01/14/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This recording made me rave that I was born too late to hear the production live! The spectators seem to be raving too - about the fact that they were born at exactly the right time and place to witness it... :) The recording is perfect! Alva radiates warmth and perfectly captures Almaviva's youthful ardor. He is also irresistibly comic as Almaviva-the drunken officer and soft-spoken music teacher. The vivid and delicately comic performance of Callas as Rosina is superb, and Gobbi's rich baritone is capable of expressing any emotion! He is perfect as the scheming barber! And, of course, Rossi-Lemeni's performance as a music teacher with dictation problems is a pure delight to listen to!
I suppose the only drawback of this CD is the poor sound quality... Of course, 1956 and a live recording, but still... Oh well, after all what good would be to us the Coliseum if it was brand-new and shiny? It is the old, half-ruined Coliseum with grass growing between ancient stones, that awakens our imagination! ;-}"

Buyer beware: poor sound, missing scene

"this cd is missing the letter scene between bartolo and rossina near the end of the second act. it seems to have been omitted since there is a noticeable break in the music where this exchange should be. anyway, without it the final confrontation between almaviva and rossina doesn't make any sense. the sound is also muddled. it sounds like it was recorded by a hand-held recorder. it definitely wasn't a radio broadcast. the voices come through, but it falls far short of a studio recording."

Callas Booed at LaScala!!!!

Phillip T. Lewis | Nashville, TN USA | 01/07/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"In the middle of this unassuming recording something amazing happens. After a successful aria "Una voce poca fa" Callas hits a strident note at the end of the Lesson Scene and is jeered after Alva's line "Bella voce" (beautiful voice). However, after Alva repeats the line, in order to emphasize his colleague's abilities, the crowd is silenced. It is an amazing example of the politics of Italian opera in the 1950's."
