Maria Callas - Puccini: Turandot

Callas and Turandot. "To have Callas, the most flashing-eyed of all sopranos as Turandot, is the most natural piece of casting. With her Turandot was not just an implacable man-hater but a highly provocative female. [...] With her the character seems so much more believably complex than with others. [...] The conducting is so vivid that the limitations of the 1957 mono sound hardly seem to matter." Gramophone
