Title: Another Rossini Gem
Review: Composed in the same year as "The Barber of Seville," this comic opera is a delight, from the clever-silly plot to the sparkling ensembles. The performance is energetic; while none of the vocal performances seems particularly memorable, all meet the demands of the highly florid music. Recorded live in 1960, "La Gazzetta" is perfectly listenable, with the voices prominent and a minimum of audience noise. Another gem from this invaluable label.
