Bruno Rigacci, Orchestra della Radiotelevisione della Svizzera Italiana - Giovanni Paisiello: Gli Astrologi Immaginari (2009)

This is a small-scale work, almost a chamber opera. There are only four principals, the chorus of pupils has limited involvement, and the orchestra isn’t particularly large. The plot is typical opera buffa: papa (bass) considers himself to be quite cultured. He has two soprano daughters, one of whom wants to marry Giuliano, the baritone. Giuliano has to disguise himself as a famous philosopher to gain papa’s approval to marry the younger daughter, Clarice. As if you haven’t guessed, all ends happily.
The booklet describes Paisiello’s score for this work as “full of verve and originality.” I agree. Each of 11 numbers, separated by brief recitatives, bubbles along merrily. The orchestrations provide more than perfunctory accompaniment, but frequently offer some interesting commentary. All of the soloists have a good feel for the opera buffa idiom. They play their roles with light-hearted sincerity. The two standouts are Carmen Lavani (Clarice) and Giancarlo Montanaro (Giuliano). Lavani has the light soprano ideal for soubrette roles; Montanaro is wonderfully comic when he assumes the disguise as the famous philosopher. Teodoro Rovetta is at his best when he’s being bamboozled by Giuliano’s scholar-in-disguise. Angela Vercelli doesn’t have much to do as Clarice’s sister, Cassandra, but Vercelli has a lovely mezzo and adds to the ensembles.
This opera was studio recorded in 1967. The stereo sound is bright and clear, a slight favoring of the voices over the orchestra is soon corrected to an ear-pleasing balance. We learn from the booklet that the Empress of Russia considered this opera to be one of Paisiello’s masterpieces. She had many to choose from. Paisiello wrote nearly 100 operas, not including revisions of earlier works, and is probably best known today as the composer of the “other” Il barbiere di Siviglia , the one that pre-dates Rossini.
