Review by Richard Whybrow

The album Tosca by Montserrat Caballé, José Carreras, Ingvar Wixell, Orchestra Of The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Colin Davis Giacomo Puccini is a magnificent tribute to one of the greatest operas of all time. The vocal performances of the three lead singers are simply stunning, with Caballé's soaring soprano, Carreras' rich tenor, and Wixell's powerful baritone blending together seamlessly to create a truly mesmerizing experience.

The Orchestra Of The Royal Opera House, under the expert direction of Sir Colin Davis, provides a flawless accompaniment to the singers, adding depth and emotion to every note. The orchestral interludes are particularly impressive, conveying the drama and tension of the story with remarkable skill.

As for the music itself, Puccini's score is a masterpiece of operatic composition, filled with unforgettable arias and duets that have become classics of the genre. From the haunting "E lucevan le stelle" to the soaring "Vissi d'arte," every moment of the album is a testament to the enduring power of this timeless work.
