Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0028941427427 Format: Box set Label: Decca Manufacturer: Decca MPN: 414274 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Decca Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Decca Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: 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 McLellan Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A stunning work by an awesome castWhat incredibly beautiful music this is! Puccini's "Turandot" is my all time favorite and this cast gives a stellar performance on his final, unfinished work. I bought this CD only because I wanted Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma," but I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the full performance was. It is impossible not to be moved to tears when listening to Caballe's "Signore, Ascolta" - this is a scene stealer especially with her held note at the end of the aria that is ...

Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full blown key, Luciano Pavarotti's voice is from Heaven. No tenor recordings came close to the quality of singing of this one. Joan Sutherland is the sweetest Liu that I have ever heard. Better still, the voices ...

She is exceptional. Rating:  - Amazon promptly replace defective CDGood performance. CD had a "dimple" on the media side. Two tracks were unreadable. Getting a replacement from Amazon was easy and quick. Amazon e-mailed a postage-paid label. Slapped on on the box and dropped in a mailbox. Amazon promptly shipped a replacement. Painless and prompt. |
