Gramophone
'A Donizetti rarity restored to circulation with all of Opera Rara's customary flair.'
Opera
'It is here given a satisfying performance, dominated and held together by Practicò in full flight as a mercenary con-man and by Spagnoli as his disreputable nephew (the 'Man in Black' of the title)... Jeremy Commons' excellent introductory essay in the accompanying booklet... is a model of what such things should be.' |
