Marek Janowski and the Dresdner Philharmonie present Puccini's 'Il tabarro'. Puccini composed this piece as the first panel of his 'Trittico' (1918), a novel work combining three one-act operas, and also containing 'Suor Angelica' and 'Gianni Schicchi'. The explosive story about illicit love and revenge on the banks of the Seine recalls the verismo of Mascagni's 'Cavalleria'. Beneath the verismo surface, however, 'Il tabarro' is a highly modern piece, full of Impressionist harmonies, allusions to Stravinsky and dramatically significant self-borrowings. In this recording, Janowski and the orchestra particularly showcase the symphonic quality of Puccini's music. They are supported by an outstanding cast of soloists, including Melody Moore as Giorgetta, Brian Jagde as Luigi and Lester Lynch as Michele, as well as the MDR Leipzig Radio Choir.
