“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 “There have been many fine recordings of this score...but Berganza's Decca version from the 1960s is still very recommendable...The fine cast...under Varviso offers Rossinian sparkle in abundance and the music blossoms readily. Teresa Berganza makes an enchanting Italian Girl, and the three principal men are all characterful. The recording is vintage Decca.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Staged and Directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle
From the Metropolitan Opera in January 1986 “…the staging is, for the most part, imaginative and stylish, even at times rather beautiful. …Marilyn Horne's… glowing enjoyment is a great life-enhancer throughout, and her voice, if a little less full-bodied than of old on top, is still rich, flexible and utterly individual. Levine conducts with good-humoured firmness, and the orchestra play as though Rossini is their number-one composer.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2007 “Sparkily conducted by James Levine, Ponnelle's 1986 Met production goes for broad comedy rather than subtlety, but Marilyn Horne knows exactly how to sing Isabella, and receives strong buffo support from Paolo Montarsolo.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 **** “Horne is the great star focus...She is predictably brilliant in the coloratura passages, with her commanding presence not getting in the way of a sense of fun...The production by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle is brightly attractive, and the direction is at the service of the performance. Levine conducts with characteristic energy.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
