Review title: Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Product review: Worth buying! There are few excellent recordings of Barber out there, and this definitely passes as a good one. While there are those who find fault with Battle's light vocals, none can deny that her's is one of the most beautiful soprano voices ever recorded. Yes, the role of Rosina was written for a mezzo, however, the part is so desirable that it is far from rare to see it performed by a soprano rather than a mezzo, and Battle does it very well. While Figaro is not Domingo's best role, his deep and rich tenor voice is unusually suited to singing the lighter baritone part.(Domingo studied to be a baritone as a young man before making the transition to tenor.) I may be inclined to agree that the role of Figaro is somewhat "beneath" this great tenor artist, however I like just about anything Domingo sings. Gallo's Bartolo is absolutely superb. By far the best I have ever seen or heard. Lopardo's Count Almaviva is also excellent. You could do worse than this Barber.
