A re mastering very well made - 1954 anyway! - I guess if that version was chosen was that she was a landmark for the opera. Musically, vocally and theatrically, it brings what is expected of this farce that is not lacking in humor and humor, or sometimes tenderness or irony. I read that the version more recent Ion Marin (Battle, Larmore, Ramey) was disappointing in its lack of "rossinisme". To compare! Still, only to discover this piece of anthology of a still young Rossini, this version is highly recommended. 1 hour gaiety well removed!
