Review by Charles Lim

Norman Treigle Performs BassBaritone Arias From Italian French German Opera is a stunning album that showcases the incredible vocal prowess of Norman Treigle. Backed by the Vienna Radio Orchestra Chorus and conducted by Jussi Jalas, Treigle delivers powerful performances of arias from some of the most beloved operas in the Italian, French, and German repertoires.

Treigle's bass-baritone voice is rich and resonant, and he imbues each aria with emotion and nuance. Whether he's singing the passionate "Di Provenza il mar" from La Traviata or the haunting "Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix" from Samson et Dalila, Treigle's voice is always in command. The Vienna Radio Orchestra Chorus provides a lush and dynamic accompaniment, adding depth and texture to each aria.

Jussi Jalas's conducting is masterful, allowing each aria to unfold with a natural ebb and flow. The album's production is also top-notch, with clear and vibrant sound quality that allows Treigle's voice to shine.

Norman Treigle Performs BassBaritone Arias From Italian French German Opera is a must-have for any opera lover. It's a stunning showcase of Treigle's incredible talent, backed by an equally impressive orchestra and chorus. Highly recommended.
