A few years ago, my children and I reviewed Barbara Reid's book Perfect Snow and we both absolutely loved her Plasticine artwork, especially my son. (You can read our review here.) She brought out the images in meticulous details and we spent quite some time perusing her book as we read it. So it came as no surprise that this children’s book illustrator and author recently won the $20,000 Vicky Metcalf Award for Literature for Young People. Congratulations to Barbara!
The CBC News website stated: The judges hailed the Toronto writer and artist's "brilliant integration of text and illustration," adding that her "words seem to leave the lines and become enmeshed in the art. Her text is actually an understated guide to the detailed exuberance of the pictures."
Watch this video in which Barbara Reid shows us how her Plasticine masterpieces come together. Here she puts together a scene from her book, Picture a Tree.
As stated on the The Writer's trust of Canada website, Barbara Reid is recognized as one of Canada’s major literary figures. Her work, 28 books to date, has received critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. Published initially in both English and French, she has now been published in over 19 countries.
We are very proud of this Canadian author and wanted to share this exciting news! Have any of you read her books?

If I had to write a list of my all time favourite beauty products, MAC's Soft & Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish would 100% make the cut. As one of the first MAC products I tried a few years ago, its gained a special place in my makeup loving heart and has become one of my 'holy grail' products. The reason I've never reviewed this product on my blog before is because I've never owned a new one that's been in pristine condition for me to photograph. Yes, that's how much of a perfectionist I am. There's just something about photographing old and tatty products that just doesn't do it for me. However, as I got a new one for Christmas, I thought it was about time I shared my thoughts with you all.
Okay, so where do I start with this product - there's so much to say. Basically, if you don't know what it is, its a metallic finish mineral powder that's used for adding that much coveted glow to the skin. Its a highlighting product that can be used anywhere you want to add some radiance to your face or body. The reason I love it so much is because it highlights my skin unlike any other product I've ever used. The powder is very finely milled and exceptionally pigmented so I only need to dab my brush very lightly on the powder to achieve the desired effect. With this being said, this product lasts an absolute lifetime. My first one lasted almost two years and I used it nearly every day so its definitely worth its pricey £22.00 price tag.
MAC describe the shade Soft & Gentle as a 'gilded peach bronze' and although I agree there's hints of peach and bronze running through it, I'd say its more pearl/champagne toned with hints of pink in there too. As you can see from the photos above, its a beautiful shade and you can see the various tones running through the stunning mineralised pattern in the pan. I'd say this shade is completely universal and would suit all skin tones but if you want something slightly darker and more on the bronzed side, MAC also offer another MSF called 'Gold Deposit'. I've tried that one too and although its too dark for my skin when it isn't tanned (although its a good en for Summer), its a beautiful product and would work perfectly with medium to dark skin tones.
I like to use the skinfinish after doing my foundation, concealer, powder and bronzer as I find its the perfect finishing touch and prevents my face from looking 'flat' if that makes sense. Basically, it adds another dimension to my skin and a glow that I can't achieve from any other product. The name skinfinish is a perfect way to sum it up as it truly is the perfect finishing touch to any makeup look and can be worn both day and night. I like to apply it to the tops of my cheekbones, down the centre of my nose and a light dusting across my forehead as this brightens up my whole complexion and makes my skin look really healthy. I also like to use it on my collarbones and down the front of my legs if I'm going out and it can also be used to highlight the brow bone, inner corner of the eye and cupids bow. As you can see, its quite the versatile little product and you all know I'm a sucker for a multi-purpose product.
A few other reviews I've read say that its quite a glittery powder but in my opinion, I wouldn't say its glittery at all. Metallic yes but glittery, no. Instead I find it gives a nice dewy sheen to my skin. Whenever I wear it I feel like my complexion looks ten times better and I look much more radiant and fresh. As I said earlier, its definitely the best highlighting product I've ever tried and trust me, I've tried my fair share. If you're looking to add a highlighter to your makeup collection, look no further than the MAC MSF. I don't have a bad word to say about it!
Have you tried the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish? Do you love it as much as I do? Its available to buy here.
You photographed the product beautifully! Soft & Gentle has been on my wishlist for ages, I'm pretty sure it'll be my next MAC purchase, it's just so pretty!
I've heard loads of great reviews on this, I definitely need to buy it soon!
I use, and love, Lightscapade which is just beautiful on paler complexions! I've definitely been meaning to pick up this one as well though as I've only ever heard rave reviews about it!
One of my favorite highlighters!
It's beautiful! Landed high up on my wishlist just now.
wow this is absolutely beautiful, want!!
I love MAC soft and gentle! It gives my skin the boost it needs after I finishing apply my base etc. It’s so pretty and I often get asked what Im wearing on my face, when wearing this product! I also really like theBalm’s highlighter - I have written a review over on my blog. Its so finely milled and great for those with a paler complexion! As you can tell I’m a huge lover of highlighters!
I really need to own this like right away!
I've just written my January in Review post for my January hits and misses, check it out on my blog.
I've heard so many amazing things about this highlighter, I really need to pick it up.
This was the first MAC product I got and I adore it! It lasts for so long as well, I've had my current one for over a year and it looks hardly touched.
This product is on my to buy list! I've been wanting to try it for a while now, but just kept forgetting about it while at the MAC counter...I know odd.
I love this product so much. It's definitely worth every penny!
wow i never knew this product even existed looks amazing. great review i will defiantly look out for it when i go shopping!
This is soo stunning, I must get my hands on this!
You should really try Makeup Atelier Paris products. I am so in love with them. Far better than Mac.
and give me some useful tips which would be much appreciated! Thank-you!!
I've completely fallen in love with your blog! And this post, amazing. It's so detailed, you've basically covered everything that I need to know and your photos are always at their best quality. Again, thank you for such a great post!
This is forever on my list of things I'm lusting after!
I agree with you that this powder will last a lifetime! I only need to use the smallest amount to cover all the areas I want covered! I barely made a dent in it! I'd say for anyone looking to invest in it, you'll get your moneys worth out of it!

Like most islands, getting an overview of Ibiza is easier said than done because there’s simply so much to do and experience.
The island is Ibiza is located about 80 kilometers off the mainland of Spain. Surrounded by the Mediterranean sea, the island’s temperature is governed by the temperature of the surrounding water. When the water is warm, the island air temperature is warm. When the water is cold, the island air temperature is cold.
Because the surrounding sea is relatively warm during the summer, the island is warm around the clock, even after the sun goes down. The warm nights during the summer months is one of the reasons why Ibiza has such a strong nightlife scene.
An important facet to note when getting an overview of Ibiza is the significance that fine and food play in the island’s culture and tourist industry.
Despite the fact that Ibiza is a part of Spain, the cuisine isn’t necessarily Spanish. The island offers a wide variety of food from all over Europe. If you’ve got a taste for French cuisine, you’ll be able to find it. If you’re in the mood for some Italian food, you’ll be able to find that as well. You’ll find countless outdoor terraces that line the streets of Ibiza, and you’ll find corner cafe’s sitting kitty-corner from themselves.
If you are hoping to get a good overview on Ibiza, you’re definitely going to want to check out old Ibiza town.
Again, it’s difficult to get an overview of Ibiza in the span of a 4 or 5 day vacation, but the locations above will definitely get you on the right track. All you have to do know is book your airline ticket and you too can join the fun!

Amatuka On a minor note, in Japanese '二人' this, that and the other is common usage while in English 'the pair' would generally sound odd - and 'They' be used in its place.
Amatuka Formed from Verb -masu base + nagara.
beholder while "ながら" is a word used in speaking, ”つつ" is used in writing. if you know some other similar situations regarding other words listed on JGram, please post this kind of explanation, won't you.
anon ながら is used in both in speaking and in writing.
yookoso ながら can only be used when the subject of the two actions is the same; use Vte-iru aida if there are two different people doing two things at the same time. Also, the action expressed by Vm nagara is always secondary to the action expressed in the main clause.
Should not "nomitsu_tsu_kete ita" be changed to "nomitsu_zu_kete ita"?
Vconj + ながら "while doing~"
Vconj + nagara expresses simultaneous actions performed by one subject.
Of the two verbs in a sentence, -nagara is added to the one in which you'd in English use -ing.

Making a gift to United Way of Mesa County is the most effective way to help our community as a whole. Our unique ability to work across complex issues with hundreds of community partners is unmatched. Our programs help people in crisis get back on their feet, help prevent future problems and build a stronger community for all of us. No other single organization meets the broad range of needs addressed by United Way.
3) What does my donation do?
$1 per paycheck can provide an emergency 3-day meal supply for five people in Mesa County who have limited or no means of obtaining food.
$5 per paycheck can provide four children a new book each month for a year helping ensure they enter kindergarten ready to learn.
$10 per paycheck can prevent one young, low-income family in Mesa County from losing their home due to eviction and assist them in becoming financially self-reliant.
$20 per paycheck can provide 12 counseling sessions to a child victim of sexual assault in Mesa County, reducing trauma, promoting dignity, justice and healing.
In 2017, nearly 50,000 people (one in three) accessed services at an organization funded by United Way of Mesa County. Your gift does more than just support people who are in urgent need right now. You also support meaningful, lasting change that impacts the entire community.
4) How much of my donation goes to services versus administrative costs?
We ask you to pay attention to other factors of nonprofit performance: transparency, governance, leadership, and results. United Way of Mesa County is proud of our open and competitive application process for funding in our three initiatives, providing funding for more than 40 programs across our county. This way you know your dollars are being leveraged with others in our community to make real and lasting positive change.
5) How is United Way of Mesa County held accountable?
The most valuable asset we have is the trust and confidence people have in our ability to meet community needs. We are audited each year by an independent accounting firm to ensure we are in compliance with generally accepted accounting procedures, regulations, and laws. We strive to be transparent. We are long standing members of the Better Business Bureau.
6) Who decides how you invest in the community?
We call them our allocations team. They are dedicated volunteers and experts from our community that carefully screen and select the programs funded by your contribution. As a member of one of the nine panels, each person is trained to read and understand a grant application, evaluate a program’s effectiveness, efficiency, and ability to deliver results, make site visits as a group to see the program in action and talk with staff and clients of each program. Allocation panel members make recommendations that are reviewed and approved by our volunteer board of directors.
7) I want to give through payroll deduction. When does payroll deduction start?
Most United Way of Mesa County campaigns run on a 12-month calendar cycle, but this can vary by company. Check with your Workplace Campaign Coordinator for the specific dates.
8) How much of a donation will make a difference?
United Way of Mesa County and our community appreciate each person making a gift based on his or her income and financial situation. Many donors give a percentage of their income or choose to give the equivalent of one to two hours per paycheck. Your financial contribution is a personal decision and even a small amount can make a big difference in another individual or family’s life. Combined with thousands of other people here in Mesa County, your donation has the potential to make an enormous impact.
9) I want my business to be involved with United Way.
That’s great news! We are always looking for more community partners that can help us answer our community’s needs. Please check out the various ways your business, company or organization can help here.
10) What if United Way supports an organization or a cause that I don’t like?
It’s important that you feel comfortable with your decision to donate. Although you may not care for one agency, United Way supports programs within many other agencies that serve people in our community. Without the support of the community through United Way, many of these important programs and services would not exist. To review which agencies United Way of Mesa County is currently funding, click here.
11) What if I make a mistake and want to change my gift once I submitted my donation?
No problem. If you give by automatic payroll deduction, start by getting in touch with the person that handles your paychecks and they should be able to assist you with the change. If you’re not giving through a workplace campaign, contact our office at 970-243-5364 and we can make the change.
12) What’s the difference between designated and undesignated gifts?
We support any form of donation because we want to encourage a community of philanthropists. A designated gift restricts your gift to a specific 501(c)3 organization. An undesignated gift takes advantage of United Way’s thorough, research-based program selection that gets the money to the issues and areas that need it most. This allows you to help the most people and do the most good for our entire community. Because a designated dollar can only be spent on that particular agency, it decreases the total available for United Way to strategically invest, thus decreasing the total allocations to all agencies.
13) I want to request funding for my agency or project.
We have a meticulous process that doesn’t happen overnight. Please click here to check out the requirements.
14) I need financial assistance. Can United Way of Mesa County help me?
United Way is not set up to provide direct financial assistance to individuals, but we work with many community partners that do. We recommend dialing 2-1-1 (or 970-244-8400) which is a free, confidential, call center available 24/7. The 2-1-1 referral specialists help connect people to a variety of health and human service resources, including child care, food, shelter, and counseling. They also help find volunteer opportunities and match in-kind gifts, such as furniture or used cars with many of the community’s nonprofit organizations. You can also visit the website: http://www.wc211.org/. United Way is a proud partner of Western Colorado 2-1-1.

Combined with thousands of other people here in Mesa County , your donation has the potential to make an enormous impact .
 9 ) I want my business to be involved with United Way .
 That ’s great news ! We are always looking for more community partners that can help us answer our community ’s needs . Please check out the various ways your business , company or organization can help here .
 10 ) What if United Way supports an organization or a cause that I do n’t like ?
 It ’s important that you feel comfortable with your decision to donate . Although you may not care for one agency , United Way supports programs within many other agencies that serve people in our community . Without the support of the community through United Way , many of these important programs and services would not exist . To review which agencies United Way of Mesa County is currently funding , click here .
 11 ) What if I make a mistake and want to change my gift once I submitted my donation ?
 No problem . If you give by automatic payroll deduction , start by getting in touch with the person that handles your paychecks and they should be able to assist you with the change . If you ’re not giving through a workplace campaign , contact our office at 970 - 243 - 5364 and we can make the change .
 12 ) What ’s the difference between designated and undesignated gifts ?
 We support any form of donation because we want to encourage a community of philanthropists . A designated gift restricts your gift to a specific 501(c)3 organization . An undesignated gift takes advantage of United Way ’s thorough , research - based program selection that gets the money to the issues and areas that need it most . This allows you to help the most people and do the most good for our entire community . Because a designated dollar can only be spent on that particular agency , it decreases the total available for United Way to strategically invest , thus decreasing the total allocations to all agencies .
 13 ) I want to request funding for my agency or project .
 We have a meticulous process that does n’t happen overnight . Please click here to check out the requirements .
 14 ) I need financial assistance . Can United Way of Mesa County help me ?
 United Way is not set up to provide direct financial assistance to individuals , but we work with many community partners that do . We recommend dialing 2 - 1 - 1 ( or 970 - 244 - 8400 ) which is a free , confidential , call center available 24/7 . The 2 - 1 - 1 referral specialists help connect people to a variety of health and human service resources , including child care , food , shelter , and counseling . They also help find volunteer opportunities and match in - kind gifts , such as furniture or used cars with many of the community ’s nonprofit organizations . You can also visit the website : http://www.wc211.org/. United Way is a proud partner of Western Colorado 2 - 1 - 1 .

When an adult brand wants to get a specific message, and their name, in front of an audience, they can buy what’s known as “sponsored” content. This means they pay to have their name and a link to their website included in a blog post on the site.
In many cases, I’ve written most of the content, especially the more recent posts. But in the early days of accepting sponsored posts, sometimes the brand wrote the piece. I was paid to publish all of this content, and anytime that happens, I will disclose that fact to you. You can choose to check out the website or not.
As you can see, sponsored content is a small fraction of the content I post, and the payments I receive help me maintain this website (and my coffee addiction).

MK Dons travel to Colchester United this evening as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Dons haven`t won in three and will be desperate to pick up three points following Saturday`s 4-2 loss at Gillingham.
The big worry for the Dons is David Martin. The keeper remains a doubt after missing the Gillingham game with a thigh strain, a game where his replacement Ian McLoughlin put in a terrible performance. Should Martin be unavailable yet again, it wouldn`t be much of a surprise if Robinson chose to put 3rd choice Charlie Burns between the sticks.
Meanwhile, Dean Bowditch (hamstring) is also unlikely to feature but Ben Reeves should be fit after returning from a long-term injury to make a substitute appearance on Saturday. Having last season`s player of the year available will be a real boost for the team.
Kyle McFadzean is also back following a two-game suspension and will resume his usual position at centre-back, steadying a defence that has been shaky in his absence.
Lastly, new loan signing from Fulham George Williams is available to play and will be pushing for a start.
Colchester will be hoping midfielder George Moncur has recovered from tonsillitis in time to play.
And while a win for the Dons would put them into the top two (with Swindon not playing), a Colchester victory would lift the U`s out of the relegation zone.
The Dons could be forgiven for being overly-confident considering they beat Colchester 6-0 at stadium:mk back in November. But after their 1-0 win at promotion-chasing Oldham last time out, their opponents will be full of confidence.
“We`re playing big teams, but that`s what the players are here for.
But given their form of late, the Dons would take any sort of performance that would bring three points back to Milton Keynes.

Pairing poems with paintings is an intriguing (if imperfect) science that can involve unlikely collaborations, which hopefully produce transcendent art. Thankfully, such is the case with Hell, Probably, the new joint effort by poet Ronna Lebo and painter Philippe Avignant — brought together by the curation of their publisher, Dallas Athent. The result is a bracing poetic collection of Lebo’s vividly rendered recollections and surreal warnings for an era of feminine resistance and political awareness, which flow past Avignant’s wide-eyed caricatured denizens of a whirling dimension of necessary madness.
At his reading people were dead, a course so unlikely — forever when you think about it, nothing complete actually — the rest of the past already gone with those few lines, for obvious reasons, like we guessed it, kind of, but not because it works.
Lebo’s voice for Avignant’s faces erupts with the poetic urgency of that unnatural second mouth in the book’s opening painting, and is well worth focusing both of your eyes on.

It’s that time of year again – Open Enrollment from November15th until the end of December. There is a lot of information to sift through and some of it – or maybe a lot of it – can be very confusing.
The good news is that there are organizations providing help to sift through it all and actually end up understanding what provisions you need, what is affordable and, as a result, which coverage and supplements are right for you.
If you are trying to find understandable information and straightforward facts there are places to go to get the information you need. Look through your local newspaper in the Calendar Section for free events. You will find various free seminars on topics such as How to Choose the Right Medicare Coverage; Choosing a Medicare Supplement; Determining What You Will Be Covered For; What is the Difference Between Plans? and more information.
Usually you can find excellent seminars at your local senior citizens center, your local library, your local hospital, your local clinic and your local health department. If a seminar is not listed in your newspaper Calendar Section, take the time to call the organizations just mentioned and find out what type of information or seminars they have planned. You can also go online or call CMS – the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services – and they will be able to help sort out the basics for you and tell you if they will be having a seminar or presentation in your area.
Try to remember – especially when you attend a seminar or presentation – that many of these are presented by individual insurance companies that are trying to sell you their product. As a result, it is important to attend a few seminars if possible so that you can compare what several companies have to offer. Too often some companies charge a lot more for the same coverage that other companies charge far less for. If you can go to a seminar presented by an unbiased individual, such as an individual from Medicare or an individual comparing several policies for you, this is the best way to get accurate information for making decisions.
Regardless of what you attend, try to at least attend one seminar or talk to someone you trust who understands Medicare and Medicare Supplements. Take the time to be sure that you choose the coverage that is right for you.

Save 33% On Your Energy Bill With A Programmable Thermostat… I Did!
Looking to save a couple hundred dollars this year in about 30 minutes?
Install an EnergyStar certified programmable thermostat.
About a year ago I decided to experiment with a programmable thermostat in my home. The result, after 1 year: big savings.
My energy company (and your’s probably will too) gives me a side-by-side comparison of how many kWh of electricity I used in the current month and to the current month one year ago.
The best part is that I’ve noticed a trend. My energy bills are significantly less each month this year than they were in the same month last year — especially as the temperature starts to rise.
What Makes Programmable Thermostats So Great?
Programmable thermostats give you the ability to designate pre-programmed temperature changes in your home.
Won’t your home be sweltering if you even increase its temperature during the day by a measly 2 degrees in the summer?
Well, yes… or no. It won’t matter if you work a regular 9-to-5 job and no one is home during the day, but what if you have an irregular schedule due to working from home, having a swing shift, being a stay at home mom, etc? More on that later.
7 Day Schedule – This allows you this most flexibility in your settings. With this feature (instead of the 5+2 or 5+1+1 schedule options) you can set all weekdays together with different weekend setting OR you can set each day to it’s own program (works well if you have an irregular schedule and work from home, like I do).
Temporary AND Vacation Hold – Temporary hold allows you to override the pre-programmed setting for a short period of time. The “hold” will be canceled at the next pre-set cycle. Vacation hold allows you to suspend your current settings and implement a different, more efficient temperature setting while you’re away for a few days. Best of all, your home will be back to normal on the day you return. Sweet huh?
Backup Battery Power – It’s a good idea to have this feature so that in the event of a power failure, you will not have to reprogram your thermostat.
For my home and specific HVAC system, I chose the Hunter 7-day programmable thermostat.
It has all the above mentioned features plus some other handy features. Perhaps one of my favorite additional features it has is an air filter monitor that reminds me when it’s time to change the filter. This is vitally important to efficient heating and cooling!
Two of the most prominent manufacturers of programmable thermostats are Honeywell and Hunter.
Don’t make the mistake that I made and cost yourself more time and money.
Before installing your new programmable thermostat, shut off the power to your unit by flipping the breaker at BOTH your fuse box and indoor portion of your HVAC unit.
If you do that, you can install your new programmable thermostat in about 30 minutes.
Have you ever had a programmable thermostat in your home? If so, how did you like it?

Gioachino Rossini (born Pesaro, 29 February 1792; died Paris, 13 November 1868).
Angelo Anelli (written for Luigi Mosca, performed at La Scala, Milan in 1808).
First performance: Venice (Teatro San Benedetto), 22 May 1813.
First UK performance: London (His Majesty’s Theatre, Haymarket), 26 January 1819.
First performance in Scotland: Edinburgh (Theatre Royal), 8 May 1838.
Scottish Opera premiere: Glasgow (Theatre Royal), 21 October 2009.
Rossini came from a family of musicians, and his talent was recognised when still a child. His operas, both serious and comic, dominated the operatic world throughout his active career, which lasted twenty years from 1810. It is the eleventh of Rossini’s operas (he eventually composed around forty).
The Italian Girl was an instant success in spite of being prepared at short notice and adapting an old text. In the early 19th century, Barbary pirates were still a serious problem for sea traders and for coastal towns in parts of Italy. The abduction and enslavement of Europeans therefore seems an unlikely subject for farcical humour, though Mozart showed the way with his Seraglio of 1782. Rossini has the chorus of eunuchs sung by tenors and basses. In addition, the idea of Italian patriotism was also problematic, with the north of Italy still to be under Austrian control for many years.
Mustafà is tired of his wife and wants to find a new Italian bride. Lindoro, a young Italian, has been captured and is working as a slave for Mustafà. He has become something of a favourite. He laments his separation from his lover, Isabella. Mustafà suggests he should marry Elvira and take her to Italy.
More European prisoners arrive, among them an Italian Girl. This is Isabella, who has set out to rescue Lindoro. She has with her Taddeo, who wants to marry her, but agrees to pose as her uncle meantime. Mustafà falls for Isabella at first sight and she flirts with him. When Lindoro, Elvira and Zulma come to say their farewells they meet Isabella. The first act ends in complete confusion, with one of Rossini’s craziest inventions.
The second act continues the farcical activity as Isabella and Lindoro plot their escape, along with the other Italian captives. Elvira is re-united with Mustafà.
Jennifer Larmore (Isabella), Raúl Giménez (Lindoro), John del Carlo (Mustafà).
An excellent modern recording, stylishly conducted. Jennifer Larmore is one of the leading American mezzos singing the Rossini repertoire at the moment. Many of the best Rossinian tenors in recent years have come from Latin America, and Argentinian Raúl Giménez sails through the high-lying lines with ease.
Lucia Valentini-Terrani (Isabella), Francisco Araiza (Lindoro), Wladimiro Ganzarolli (Mustafà).
Lucia Valentini-Terrani was that rare thing, a real Italian who also had a fine sense of Rossinian style. She delights in the rapid-fire language. Her early death from leukaemia was a tragic loss. Araiza, a Mexican this time, has no problems with the high line, and gives no indication that his voice would develop (briefly) in a Wagnerian direction. Ganzarolli is a born comedian. This recording was an early attempt to play Rossini on original instruments and Ferro is generally a natural conductor.
Marilyn Horne (Isabella), Ernesto Palacio (Lindoro), Samuel Ramey (Mustafa).
Horne featured in many important revivals of Rossini’s serious operas, but was able to lighten her touch successfully when she sang the comedies, having particular success as Isabella. Palacio is noted now as the teacher of his fellow-Peruvian Juan Diego Flórez, but he was a notable performer in revivals of little-known Rossini and Handel works. Ramey’s long career covered nearly every possible style of singing except perhaps Wagner, and his technique sounds unusually effortless for a bass.
Teresa Berganza (Isabella), Luigi Alva (Lindoro), Fernando Corena (Mustafà).
This recording dates from a time when only a handful of Rossini’s operas were known, and it did much to restore the Italian Girl to the general repertoire. Varviso conducts delicately and the soloists were the leading performers of the day. Berganza always sounds lovely as well as characterful. Alva (another Peruvian) was the dominant Rossini tenor for twenty years, and is at his peak here. Corena also projects plenty of humour.
