Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Il Barbiere di Siviglia was the first opera I ever saw and is what guided me in going to school for vocal and opera performance. Ricordi is one of the ONLY publishers I trust for opera scores. Unlike other publishers (Dover, especially) they aren't riddled with errors.
This Score is 488 pages long. It also has an introduction with history of the opera and a section of textual notes which provide more background on the composition along with frequently sung melismas and a lot of substituted passages which are sung by a soprano Rosina. It and the introduction appear both in English and Italian.
There is also an appendix in the back of the score which includes "Una voce poco fa" in F major, "La calunnia e un venticello" in C major, and "Contro un cor che accende amore" in F major.
The actual musical score is typeset in a very clear type. It is easy on the eyes and it leaves enough room above and below the vocal line to write in literal translations and directions/notes. The book is fairly large so it doesn't stay open on the piano very well but after some usage it will be fine.
5 stars for another great purchase from Ricordi.
