Puccini: Turandot

Stage Director: Harold Prince

Eva Marton, José Carreras, Katia Ricciarelli & John-Paul Bogart

Chor und Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper, Lorin Maazel

Live recording of Puccini’s popular opera Turandot from the Vienna State Opera in 1983

“[Marton’s voice] is excitingly full, authoritative and yet able to yield to lyricism.” Gramophone.

“The quality of recorded sound is excellent: that at least is matter for unequivocal recommendation. Musically the performance is strong, though it does not qualify for the first rank among sound recordings. The stage production is lavish, in care as well as expenditure. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008

“Carreras is an ideal Calaf, Ricciarelli a tender Liù, and Marton less squally than in the Met and San Francisco DVDs. With Maazel's dynamic conducting, only a glitzy, faceless production denies this top marks.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****
