"One of the great classic opera recordings of a work that balances farce with touching romance." (BBC Music)

"a triumph… the kind of directness and authority which the young Abbado manifests here is most welcome… [His] mastery is such that in the big ensembles the characters are propelled brilliantly into life …Berganza is a sure-footed and sympathetic Cenerentola" (Gramophone)

Rossini's enchanting version of the Cinderella story is alternately raucously comic and deeply touching. This was Abbado's first opera recording and 'a triumph... the kind of directness and authority which the young Abbado manifests here is most welcome... [His] mastery is such that in the big ensembles the characters are propelled brilliantly into life ...Berganza is a sure-footed and sympathetic Cenerentola.' Gramophone

The booklet in this specially priced 2-CD set includes a track-by-track synopsis.
