Title: Grab this one!
Review: I enjoyed this performance on the old Cetra LP label and was glad to see it reissued (finally) on CD. This is a good example of the 40s and 50s Italian recordings at their best: good singing, simple miking, and a fast-paced, idiomatic performance. The cast is pretty ideal. The young lovers are Alda Noni as a clear-voiced and perky Norina with Cesare Valletti almost perfect as Ernesto. Mario Borriello does a good job as Malatesta and a very young Sesto Bruscantini comes close to being a definitive Don Pasquale. Conductor Mario Rossi keeps things moving. The sound is okay, not great. All in all, the best recording available: the sound is better than the Schipa version, and the cast and conductor better than the more modern performances.
