RECORDING INFORMATION

 Donizetti's opera buffo masterpiece in three acts is here coupled with Cimarosa's short intermezzo giocoso for bass-baritone and orchestra, Il maestro di cappella

"Under Kertész", Corena is an attractive buffo... and Krause makes an incisive Malatesta. Graziella Sciutti is charming from beginning to end, bright-toned and vivacious, and remarkably agile in the most difficult passages. The 1964 Decca recording is excellent, with plenty of atmosphere as well as sparkle."
