5.0 out of 5 stars If you like the Barber of Seville, you'll love this one!, September 9, 1998

This review is from: Rossini - La Cenerentola / Bartoli, Dara, Matteuzzi, Corbelli, Pertusi; Chailly [highlights] (Audio CD)

I was unfamiliar with La Cenerentola until I bought this disk. It's great! It has the same style of rythm and melody in the vocal lines that pervades the Barber and which, to me, makes Rossini great. I'm not usually a huge fan of Cecelia Bartoli, but she does a really nice job in this recording - much less of the harsh glare I often hear in her voice. William Matteuzzi is a great lyric singer as well. I originally bought the disk because he was on it.

If you're an audiophile, you will find the recording above par, but the soundstage is a little narrow. I guess I'd give the performance 5 stars and the recording 4 stars.
