Summary:
From the moment legendary tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano sings his first notes in this rare appearance as Count Almaviva, you instantly know that this man is a genuine aristocrat and that he is so charming no one can deny him anything he wants. In this case, that's Lily Pons as Rosina, who more than holds her own when it comes to charm and ravishing singing. Add the great basso buffo Salvatore Baccaloni as Doctor Bartolo--the big impediment to the young lovers getting together--and Jerome Hines as Don Basilio, and you'll understand all over again why The Barber of Seville is such an eternal favorite.
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 vedil il mio destino ; Pace e gioia
In somma, mio signore, chi è lei
Mother, dear I say to thee
Bella voce! Quando mi sei vicina
Don Basilio!
Buona sera, mio signore
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.
