Gruberova Floored Me, August 3, 2010
This review is from: Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Audio CD)
I bought this album to hear Florez and he is great and the sound was very good, but I was floored by Edita Gruberova's singing. What a beautiful voice and terrific diction. I thought she stole the show.If she was late in her career, it didn't show.

WONDERFUL!, December 24, 2008
This review is from: Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Audio CD)
This is a superb recording. Juan Diego Florez is ***** . I believe that you will enjoy it as much as I do. My only complaint is that the conducting is very fast. If you are a JDF fan you will adore this recording of Rossini's wonderful, funny and happy opera.

Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia [IMPORT], November 24, 2008
This review is from: Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Audio CD)
If you just want to hear Florez, you are much better off buying the DVD-Barbiere di Siviglia (2005).Starring: Ruggero Raimondi, María Bayo Director: Ángel Luis Ramírez. At least the sound quality is better, Florez is in excellent form and the DVD is far cheaper.
The CD album :Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia [Import] ~ Gioachino Rossini (Composer), Ralf Weikert (Conductor), Munich Radio Orchestra (Orchestra), Edita Gruberová (Vocals), Eric Serra (Vocals), et al.,is far too pricy for such an awful recording.
Unless you are a diehard fan of Florez and want to add to your collection, don't bother! It is a total waste of money as far as I am concern.
