Summary:
With a cast like this you can't help falling in love all over again with The barber of Seville. The marvelous Hermann Prey is Figaro, a guy you wouldn't buy a used car from, but he's great to have on your side considering he can charm anyone out of anything. The sensational Marilyn Horne (Rosina) and Enrico Di Giuseppe (a love-struck Count Almaviva) immediately enlist him in their quest to foil Fernando Corena (Dr. Bartolo) so they can marry. With James Levine conducting, it's all just sensational.
Contents:
Overture
Piano, pianissimo
Ecco ridente in cielo
Ehi, Fiorello? Mio signore!
Largo al factotum della città
Ah, ah! che bella vita!
Se il mio nome saper voi bramate ; L'amoroso e sincero
All'idea de quel metallo portentoso
Numero quindici a mano manca
Una voce poco fa
Sì, sì, la vincerò!
La callunnia è un venticello
Ah! che ne dite? Ma bravi!
Dunque io son
Ora mi sento
A un dottor de la mia sorte
Finora in questa camera ; Ehi, di casa!
Eccolo qua, Eccolo qua ; Ah, venisse il caro oggetto
Che cosa accadde
Fredda ed immobile
Ma, signor
Zitto tu!
Ma vedil il mio destino ; Pace e gioia
Gioia e pace ; In somma, mio signore, chi è lei?
Tanti affetti in tal momento
Bella voce! Quando mi sei vicina
Don Basilio!
Buona sera, mio signore
Orsù, signor Bartolo
Sempre gridi ; Il vecchiotto cerca moglie
Temporale (Storm)
Alfine eccoci qua ; Ah! Qual colpo
Zitti, zitti, piano, piano ; Ah, disgraziati noi!
Di sì felice innesto.
