Product Description
CD86898 Rossini BARBIERE (Spence, Nucci) Marseille 14 IV 1998 with original
This was a very interesting performance for many reasons : a good cast, with funny singers-actors (the audience laughs very often), and the first time it was possible to hear the original sistro. On Simone Fermani's website, we can read : "He discovered from the original score and rebuilt the sistro (sistrum) the instrument that Gioacchino Rossini designed and indicated for his "Barbiere di Siviglia" (the barber of Seville). This instrument disappeared after the first performance of this opera in Roma in 1816. He has patented his discovering and now he's the only owner of this instrument all over the world. The sistro has been used for the first time after its discovering in the performances of "Barbiere" that he has conducted at Opera Marseille; after this performance a newspaper of Marseille had exalted its inestimable and wonderful discovering." So, here it is :

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
