Music reviews of Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland ? Pavarotti ? Caball? ? Ghiaurov ? Krause ? Pears ? LPO ? Mehta
Music Review: The best Turandot imaginable
Rating: 5 Stars
This was recorded in 1972, and everyone's voice is fresh and strong. Not every recording of Turandot can field two absolutely top ranked sopranos, but Dame Joan Sutherland and Montseratt Caballe are both fabulous. They could have switched roles as easily as each singing the one she had.
This features also my absolute FAVORITE recording of Luciano Pavarotti singing "Nessun Dorma." His riddle songs and "Non piangere Liu" are -- well the truth is that this is the most perfect recording of any audio only opera I own. It ranks, for me, with the movie version of _Carmen_ with Ruggiero Raimondi, Placido Domingo, Julia Mingines Jones, Faith Esham and others.
For an audio only disk to tie for number one with a DVD movie disc, the audio must be fabulous. It is.
Every singer's voice has special things that lend it wonder, and for Pavarotti, one of the things that is special and impossible to match is the wonderful warm roundness of his voice. More, he can produce that with character and power.
I have Carreras' DVD of Turandot with Eva Marton and Katia Riccarelli. He's fabulous, especially because of his skill as an actor, and I'm glad to have added that to my collection. Despite that, I am still glad that this Sutherland, Pavarotti, Caballe and Mehta recording is the first recording of Turandot, and the second recording of a full length opera I bought.
Among other things, the included libretto translates Italian into French, English and German, and the liner notes are astute and well written.
Get this recording. Yes, it's expensive, but it is worth every penny. No voice can match Pavarotti's for Calaf as recorded here. No voice can match Caballe, Sutherland or Ghiaurov's for their roles. Ping, Pang and Pong are fabulous!
Description of Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland ? Pavarotti ? Caball? ? Ghiaurov ? Krause ? Pears ? LPO ? Mehta
Joan Sutherland is not usually considered a Puccini singer, and in fact she sang the role of Turandot only in the recording studio. But for that assignment she had exactly what was needed: a voice that seemed to have no upper limits and a personality that concealed vulnerability under an air of icy detachment. She also had an ideal set of colleagues, notably Luciano Pavarotti, whose "Nessun dorma" has become practically his signature tune. --Joe McLellanGeneral CDs
