¡Puccini: Il Tabarro
¡Bertrand de Billy (conductor), Wiener Singakademie, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Puccini's "Trilogy," premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in 1918, was composed as a series of three one-act operas performed in one evening (one theory is that he intended to parody Wagner's "Ring"). The operas have been performed in a variety of ways, either alone or in conjunction with other composers' one-act operas. The opening piece, "The Cloak," is a shocking tale of an old baggage ship captain who takes the life of a young man under his command. The young man who steals the captain's wife is sung by Johan Botha, who passed away in 2016. De Billy, who was chief conductor of the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra until 2010, also provides a well-balanced sound.
