5/5 Well Crafted, Well Staged
  by Giordano Bruno (Wherever I am, I am.)
If you appreciate Rossini, you'll surely enjoy this production of one of his smaller, less well-known operas. Most of the music will be fresh in your ears, not appropriated from other compositions, and many of the ensemble pieces rank with Rossini's most brilliant. The staging in the antique theater of Schwetzingen is the height of elegance, with distinctly English period costuming for an English story. The acting is excellent, and the camera-work captures that expressive excellence. The orchestra is top-notch, particularly the horns and flutes, and the conductor is worth the price of watching for his expressive face. The singing is highly polished, though no single voice seemed to me to surpass excellence and achieve brilliance.

4/5 Rossini - La Cambiale di Matrimonio / The Bill of Marriage
  by Ramiro Arguello (Guatemala)
It is a typical Rossini opera buffa, light, funny and frosty. Not grand, but fun. It is well recorded and sung.
