Music reviews of Giacomo Puccini: Il trittico (Il tabarro - Suor Angelica - Gianni Schicchi)

Music Review: The Best of All Three
Rating: 5 Stars

None of these recordings are new and, unfortunately, two of them were recorded before the advent of stereo. Thus, "Il Tabarro" and "Suor Angelica" lack the richness, depth and sense of perspective that a good stereo production would have provided. Nevertheless, all three of these performances are wonderful interpretations, each with at least one contribution that moves it into the inspired category.

"Il Tabarro" is a well conducted performance that is well sung by almost all of the participants. There is a sense of drama that is riveting and missing from most of the competing versions. The singers here cannot provide the richness of sound provided by Decca's Tebaldi/del Monaco or RCA's Price/Domingo but neither Merrill or Milnes can match EMI's Tito Gobbi. This is the kind of role in which the baritone made the most impact, characters not entirely sympathetic but with a streak of pathos that move the heart. Listen to his recording of Rigoletto for an apt comparison. ]

In "Suor Angelica" the great Victoria de los Angeles gave one of her finest performances. From her first entrance which she presents with limpid tone and secure intonation to her truly harrowing account of her character's last moments, she is totally in command of every nuance and emtional shift. Listen to the abrupt changes in mood she offers in the duet with her aunt. This is truly great singing/acting. She is partnered in the latter scene by Fedora Barbieri who provides all the chill and coldness called for but without the somewhat vulgar booming of, say, Marilyn Horne in the Scotto version. All of the comprimari are varied and characterful.

"Gianni Schichi" is a romp with vibrant singing from de los Angeles, a rich and humorfilled characterization from Gobbi and a host of Italian character singers who sound like their having the time of their lives. This is probably the oldest of the stereo versions of this score but it remains the most theatrical and enjoyable. One stipulation: the sound is a might shallow and "blasts" or distorts during some of the complex ensembles. Otherwise, the sound is adequate.
