Review by Magra

Il Tabarro is an opera album composed by Puccini and performed by a talented ensemble of musicians, including Johan Botha, Elza van den Heever, Wolfgang Koch, Wiener Singakademie, ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Bertrand De Billy. The album is a powerful and emotional rendition of Puccini's masterpiece, which tells the story of love, betrayal, and tragedy.

Botha's powerful tenor vocals perfectly capture the passion and desperation of the lead character, while van den Heever's soprano voice adds a haunting and melancholic tone to the album. Koch's baritone vocals also add depth and complexity to the ensemble, creating a rich and layered sound that is both captivating and moving.

The Wiener Singakademie adds a beautiful choral element to the album, enhancing the emotional impact of the music. Meanwhile, the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, under the masterful direction of Bertrand De Billy, provides a rich and dynamic musical backdrop that perfectly complements the vocal performances.
