The article focuses on various musical recordings. Musician Thomas Schippers, in the Metropolitan's performance of "Don Pasquale" the past season, revealed not only impressive powers as a conductor but a feeling for the style of Italian comic opera that one didn't expect from someone born in Kalamazoo. Oiseau-Lyre 50073 offers a group of Vivaldi pieces-the Concertos in A and F for orchestra, the Concertos in D minor and F for oboe, the Concerto in B flat for oboe and violin-played by Claude Maisonneuve. Oiseau-Lyre 50008 offers two brilliant-sounding and enjoyable works by Francesco Barsanti-the Concerti Grossi Op. 3 No. 4 for two horns and drums and No. 10 for two oboes, trumpet and drums, both with strings and harpsichord.
