Carlo Cossutta - Otello

Review by Simon Kendall

Otello is a classic opera album by the renowned Italian tenor Carlo Cossutta. The album features Cossutta's powerful and emotive vocals, accompanied by the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano under the direction of Gianandrea Gavazzeni.

The album comprises of four acts, each showcasing Cossutta's exceptional range and control. The opening act, "Esultate!" is a grand and triumphant piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Cossutta's rendition of "Dio mi potevi scagliar" in the second act is particularly noteworthy, with his voice conveying the character's despair and anguish.

Throughout the album, Cossutta's voice is complemented by the orchestra's lush and dynamic arrangements, creating a rich and immersive listening experience. The album's production is crisp and clear, allowing listeners to fully appreciate Cossutta's vocal prowess.
