Book Reviews of The Barber of Seville in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores)
Book Review: Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Rossini's best operas, the Barber of Seville, is immortalized here in another one of Dover's fine scores. From the fast-paced overture to the "Figaro" aria (both made famous in old Bugs Bunny cartoons), this opera is nonstop greatness. As usual, Dover has provided us with a book of the highest quality: they sew their books instead of gluing them so as for them to stay bound and be flexible, and they print legibly. Unfortunately, legible print is becoming disappointingly rare in modern scores, but Dover is the exception.
For a great score of a great opera at a great price, you can't go wrong with Rossini's Barber of Seville.
Summary of The Barber of Seville in Full Score (Dover Vocal Scores)
Rossini's comic work ranks among the most popular and frequently performed and recorded operas of all time. Beloved for its keenly sketched characters, melodic elegance, and rhythmic exhilaration, it features superb ensemble writing and original, delightful orchestration. This modestly priced edition is reproduced directly from the authoritative edition published by Ricordi.
When it comes to operas in which, for once, nobody dies, Gioacchino Rossini's great comedy Il Barbiere di Siviglia (the Barber of Seville) is perhaps the most popular of all time. It's got it all: funny plot, great tunes (including nine of the most immediately recognizable notes in Western music: "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!"), irresistible characters, and an overture that provided Bugs Bunny with one of his greatest moments on screen. Have you ever wondered about the scoring of Lindoro's sweet first act aria, or the requirements for the boom in Basilio's celebration of calumny? Check it all out with this complete orchestral score from Dover Publications. As is standard with Dover, this score is a reprint of a German original, and because it offers the complete orchestration it will be more useful to the music student than to the working singer.
