description
Though the cast is not as starry as with most full-price rivals, the Naxos set makes a first-rate bargain. The singing is hardly less stylish, with Sonia Ganassi a rich-toned Rosina, controlling vibrato well, and with Ramon Vargas an agile and attractively youthful-sounding Almaviva. Roberto Serville as Figaro conveys te fun of the role brilliantly. The buffo characters are strongly cast too, with Basilio’s La calunnia (Franco de Grandis) delightfully enlivened by comments from Bartolo (Angelo Romero), both very much involved in their roles. Will Humburg’s often brisk speeds, with crisp recitative matched by dazzling ensembles, never prevent the music (and the singers) from breathing. • Penguin Guide, January 2009
