Teresa Berganza, Fernando Corena, Rolando Panerai, Giuliana Travolaccini, Miti Truccata Pace, Paolo Montarsolo & Luigi Alva Orchestra a Coro del Maggio & Musicale Fiorentino, Silvio Varviso "This recording of L'italiana in Algeri was made in the Teatro de la Pergola, Florence in the summer of 1963...Rolando Panerai is his usual incomparably humorous self. The recording is typical of the period, splendidly engineered on the large scale with a good deal of stereo production, characters perambulating fairly freely around one's room. Decca have reproduced it for CD with plenty of immediacy and brightness..."Gramophone Magazine) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
