Premiered in 1816, this aria from The Barber of Seville is considered one of the hardest in the baritone repertoire. Because it is so rubato the only way of recording it is to have the singer with the orchestra and go for it. It can't be edited afterwards so we just chose our favourite take! When first performed the audience booed at the Barber of Seville because they thought it was stolen from the earlier opera Paisiello
