A veritable dream-team of a cast come together for James Levine's 1990 studio recording: Kiri Te Kanawa's Countess, more in sorrow than in anger, is ravishingly sung, Ferruccio Furlanetto is a big-boned, vital Figaro, and Thomas Hampson fuses class and menace as the philandering Count. Tatiana Troyanos and Paul Plishka are luxury casting as Figaro's estranged parents.
