Almaviva and the barber of Seville
Review of Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (in English) by MAFARRIMOND

Advantages: Fun and lively comic opera sung in English
Disadvantages: Not in the original language

...The Marriage of Figaro. A play already utilised as a basis for earlier operas including The barber of Seville by Paisiello in 1782 and Figaro by Mozart in 1796. The English translation provided by Amanda and Anthony Holden. This recording opens with the famous Overture with slow introduction leading to the main section with the two main themes repeated. The action then begins. The ardent Count Almaviva (Bruce Ford - tenor) has fallen in love with Rosina (Della Jones - contralto), the ward of Doctor Bartolo. Bartolo (Andrew Shore - baritone) however has plans to marry her himself. Almaviva serenades Rosina and sends her love letters under the assumed name of Lindoro. The factotum, Figaro (Alan Opie - baritone), arranges for him to visit Rossini disguised as a drunken soldier. The plan fails and he is arrested and imprisoned. Undeterred, Figaro... Read review

Patience is certainly a virtue
Review of Sullivan: Patience by nikwak

Advantages: Complete operetta (musically) with great artists
Disadvantages: none

...These Naxos re-issues are great and so reasonably priced for anyone who might be wanting to try out some Gilbert and Sullivan before plumping for the complete Decca set recorded during the 50s and 60s. This recording has Martyn Green, Leoard Osborne, Darrell Fancourt, the lovely Margaret Mitchell as Patience and Ella Halman in the contralto role. I am probably of an age that I can remember the end of this D'Oyly Carte era and the beginning of next great one with Valerie Masterson and Donald Adams, so I am lucky to say that I think I have seen the best there possibly could be. However, there is something nostalgic about these recordings and you can tell that the company are on top form.... Read review

will definatly lighten your day
Review of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Beatles (The) by juliebushnell

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...This is still one of the most famous, if not the most famous albums world-wide. It is ahead of our time never mind its own time. It's a shame that this album came when it did, as it was a three year more or less continuous decline for the Beatles until their 1970 split. This was the peak, and it aint half a bad peak. Musically it is complex and advanced. Artistically it is innovative and, well its an all round stroke of genius. Everyone should own a copy. If you don’t, either find a site and order it, or get your trainers and run out and get yourself a copy. I have four copies; An original mint condition never been played vinyl copy, a very much played vinyl copy, a tape and the newest CD version. You can make do with the CD. It will change your life....
