Playwright Carlo Goldoni and composer Baldassare Galuppi collaborated on a number of operas, and the most successful was the comedy Il Filosofo di Campagna (1754). Although there is no indication in any of the skimpy packaging information, this is a disc of excerpts, not the complete opera, which lasts close to three hours. The selections are about evenly divided between recitatives, arias, and ensembles. The lively comic performances of soprano Anna Moffo and baritone Rolando Panerai are the CD's strongest selling points. Both are wonderfully convincing comedians, and their voices are world-class -- full, warm, and ringing. Renato Fasano, leading the Complesso Strumentale del Collegium Musicum Italicum and I Virtuosi di Roma, contributes a brilliant and fleet accompaniment. The recording departs from the score in casting Rinaldo, the hero, as a tenor rather than a soprano, an entirely justifiable decision, but Florindo Andreolli's light and feminine-sounding voice doesn't begin to stand up next to Panerai's or Moffo's. The opera itself is light and vivacious, with strong vocal characterizations, memorable melodies, and many sly comic touches in its orchestration; it would be easy to imagine it's holding the stage if it were revived with singers and a director skilled in comedy. The sound is amazingly clean and present for a recording of this vintage. This disc of excerpts is like a tasty appetizer, which may prompt listeners to seek out a complete recording.
