Our Take

Rossini's "Il Barbiere Di Siviglia" as performed by Teresa Berganza, Luigi Alva, Hermann Prey, Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano, and conducted by Claudio Abbado is a delightful romp through the classic opera that will have you tapping your feet and begging for an encore.

Berganza's mezzo-soprano vocals are as smooth as butter, effortlessly gliding through Rossini's intricate melodies with precision and grace. Alva's tenor voice adds a touch of whimsy to the mix, while Prey's baritone brings depth and richness to each aria.

The Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano, under the expert direction of Abbado, provides a lush and vibrant backdrop for the singers, with each note played with perfect timing and finesse. The overture alone is worth the price of admission, with its jaunty strings and playful woodwinds setting the stage for the comedic antics to come.

From the famous "Largo al Factotum" to the tender "Una voce poco fa," each aria is performed with passion and skill, leaving the listener breathless and eager for more. Berganza, Alva, and Prey have a chemistry that is undeniable, their voices blending together in perfect harmony.

Overall, this recording of "Il Barbiere Di Siviglia" is a must-have for any opera lover. It's a masterclass in vocal artistry and orchestral precision, with a healthy dose of humour thrown in for good measure. Sit back, relax, and let Rossini's classic tale of love and mistaken identity sweep you off your feet.
