Search - G. Puccini :: Il Trittico

2010 three CD set. Puccini united three one-act operas into a single cycle in Il Trittico although all three works di ered in terms of style and design. The rst part, Il Tabarro, a tragedy about love and jealousy, was set against the dismal background of boatmen and harbour workers, whose lives did not boast the carefree and merry charm of Boh?me. The second work, Suor Angelica, was set in the seclusion of a convent. Angelica boasts an entirely female cast and the opera has a gentle, solemn mood. The three outstanding singers to be heard on this 1949 recording all made their mark on the cycle`s protagonists: the Catalonian singer Victoria de los Angeles performed the role of Angelica with profound sincerity. A young Tito Gobbi in the role of Michele prompted critics to shower the singer with praise and the Genoese singer Giuseppe Taddei gave structure to the role of the shifty peasant Gianni Schicchi.
