...revival of "beautiful singing," these 23 arias, duets and trios are by familiar composers (Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Handel) as well as unfamiliar ones (Piccinni, Lampugnani, Bononcini, Shield). Joan Sutherland is the heroine of the album, her brilliant voice describing perfect arabesques in the stratosphere. Richard Conrad's flowing tenor blends beautifully with hers, and there is also ample opportunity to judge the fast-rising Mezzo-Soprano Marilyn Home, whose range, power and flexibility are formidable but who is not yet in the same galaxy as Sutherland...

Thomas Weber, as Don Alfonso, was even better, in a difficult part which required him to sing while snickering at the plot all evening. Patricia Stedry, as Despina, a little out of her range perhaps, nevertheless made an excellent co-conspirator with Don Alfonso in their sotto voce duets...
