"I cannot see this masterly production being bettered on DVD in the near future. The high quality of the ensemble and the unity of the solo singing is matched by first rate audio quality. The video direction is by non-pareil director, Brian Large, who takes full advantage with close-ups that contrast nicely with the predominantly mid and long shots of scenes and arias. This set is a must for every lover of Rossini’s music and an excellent addition to the collections of those who only know the composer’s earlier buffa works Il Barbiere and La Cenerentola. Very strongly recommended."
