Tienda This is a somewhat abridged English-language version of Rossini's 1817 La Gazza Ladra(about 35 minutes of uninteresting recitative and a couple of arias are eliminated, to no great loss--there are still 151 minutes of music here!). The recording is based on live performances which took place in England in 2002, and the singers, orchestra, chorus, and conductor cleary still have the feel of theater in their bones--there's great energy here. The work is a semi-seria opera, which is to say there are comic elements, and although it almost ends with the execution of an innocent girl, all is saved at the last moment. The opera contains some of Rossini's most impressive music, both orchestrally and vocally, and that's saying a great deal. Once you get past the fact that everyone is singing in English (some people don't like opera in anything but the original language, although Chandos has been releasing an extraordinary series of the classics in English), there's an enormous amount to enjoy: Majella Cullagh is lovely and believable as the wrongly-accused heroine, Ninetta, tenor Barry Banks seems to have no fear of fast or high music as her lover, Giannetto, Russell Smythe, as Ninetta's father, an army deserter for whom she's willing to risk her life, uses his handsome bass-baritone splendidly, and Christopher Purves's bass-baritone works well for the villainous town mayor. Everything goes right, and we have conductor David Parry to thank. Those who love Rossini or fine singing will have to own this, and the work is worth getting to know for all opera lovers. --Robert Levine
