This is one of the best recordings of Barber currently available and definitely the winning newer version, the result of fine singing and outstanding ensemble work by the delightful mezzo- soprano Jennifer Larmore as a youthful Rosina, tenor Raul Gimenez as an Almaviva who can even handle the Count's long, difficult (and usually cut) final aria, "Cessa di piu resistere," and Hakan Hagegard as a delightful Figaro in good voice. Bass Samuel Ramey sings Basilio's aria with droll wickedness, while Alessandro Corbelli's Dr. Bartolo is a comic delight. Jesus Lopez-Cobos conducts with style and élan. --Sarah Bryan Miller
