Ricciarelli's Turandot is my favorite. There, I said it. | 29.10.2023
I've had this recording of Turandot since the 1980's, and for me it's the only Turandot. This review was prompted by reading comments about the "miscasting" of smaller voices in big dramatic roles. I first noticed this when reading about Freni singing lead Verdi roles in Don Carlo and Aida. The same issue can be found with Regine Crespin's Brunnhilde. Karajan had a reputation for casting singers with beautiful but less than Titanic voices in roles that are suitable

| Pour l’orchestre | 20.09.2022
Commençons par le meilleur: la direction de Karajan, lente, majestueuse, attentive aux moindres détails et aux milles couleurs de cette partition. L’orchestre Philharmonique de Vienne, absolument somptueux, luxe suprême mais nécessaire pour rendre justice à cette œuvre exceptionnelle.
Les petits rôles, Ping, Pang, Pong, Timur, Altoum: excellents. Le chœur, malgré quelques décalages, aussi merveilleux qu’on pourrait le souhaiter.
Hendricks a une petite et très mignonne voix: ici on dirait que Liù

Did Karajan have his eyes closed during this recording session? | 20.09.2021
I ask this question because BOTH a.) the often transcendental beauty of this performance and b.) the numerous nearly-chaotic incidents it contains, probably resulted from the maestro's famous, cosmically-attuned closed eyes (note: the booklet photo shows that the Chorus was positioned BEHIND the podium, which I'm sure contributed to their too-frequent lack of coordination with the orchestra).
It also seems that Karajan had little interest in the ACT 2 Scene 1 Trio of the Masks, which

Esecuzione storica | 04.11.2017
Una delle più leggendarie esecuzioni di quest'opera, con Katia Riccarelli nel ruolo del titolo, Domingo come Calaf, e completato da un cast assolutamente di prim'ordine anche nelle parti minori (pensiamo a Raimondi come Timur, e soprattutto a Francisco Araiza come Pong). Karajan superlativo, Wiener eccezionali, Wiener Sangerknaben incredibili. ad un ottimo prezzo.

A digression on Domingo... | 10.12.2016
I absolutely love this recording for Karajan's conducting but also for the touch of schadenfreude entailed in enjoying one of the most blatant pieces of bad editing I've ever heard. Have fun listening to the terrible splice in, of an obviously pre-recorded top C by Domingo in Act 2 at 'No, no principessa altera, ti voglia tutto ardente d'amore'. However I've always felt there was a definite thrill in listening to 70's-era Domingo go for, and nail, pieces with really

A straining but very human Turandot | 06.02.2016
I know that a lot of people say that Ricciarelli harmed her for voice singing parts that were to heavy for her instrument which is true but remember that Turandot was a studio only assumption and i doubt that it did much harm. 1981 ( year of the recording) was the year when one could start to hear the damage that her role choices did to her voice and the high notes sound strained which one coul hear also in her Aida recording recorded in the same year. She sounded good on record just in 1979/80

Unnatural recording, but beautiful singing | 05.10.2015
The problem with this recording is that the tempo is unreasonably and absurdly slowed down relative to most performances of this opera. This forces the singers all to sing the arias a bit unnaturally. For example, when Domingo sings the famous "non piangere Liu" he literally had to wait on the slow tempo to sing the climatical "che non cade, chiede colui, che non sorride più" which, as a result, made it anti-climatical due to the unnecessarily added effort to control the

Beautiful orchestra, otherwise mannered | 29.09.2015
Karajans Turandot is certainly a strange affair. On one hand, the orchestra is entrancingly beautiful. On the other hand some of the singing is a rather painful to hear.
The first virtue, and at the same time the first flaw, of this recording is to be found in the conducting. While Karajan puts all effort into turning the score into a magical, mystical and especially fairytale-like experience, he also bends and breaks the intentions of Puccini to the degree that you cannot always recognize the

Luxus pur! | 06.08.2015
Puccinis farbigste, exotischste Partitur ist, das war gar nicht anders zu erwarten, für Herbert von Karajan ein Luxus. Ihre koloristischen Finessen, ihr sensualistischer Reichtum, die dynamischen Kontraste, das alles wir von ihm mit maßstäblicher Akribie ans Licht gehoben. An Detailfetischismus übertrifft seine Aufnahme sogar die berühmte Mehta-Produktion (Decca) bei weitem.
Hätten dem Dirigenten andere Protagonisten zur Verfügung gestanden, so wäre es vermutlich eine unübertreffliche Aufnahme

Leider... | 25.07.2015
.... Kann ich für diese Aufnahme keine 5 Sterne vergeben, denn letztlich fehlt ihr der eigentliche Kern einer überzeugenden Turandot Interpretation - eine Turandot. Man liest ja allenthalben viel über H. v. Karajans Besetzungskapriolen, auch über die wohl bestehende Unmöglichkeit für manche Sänger sich den Wünschen des Maestros zu widersetzen. Allerdings sehe ich bei gemauerem Anhören von Karajans späten Produktionen das Problem weniger gravierend. Aus der Sicht des Dirigenten ist es legitim,

Molte, moltissime luci e qualche ombra | 25.05.2015
"Turandot" fu affrontata per il disco in tarda età da Karajan: a quell'epoca le Principesse di Gelo tutte muscoli e acuti svettanti stile Nilsson erano già passate di moda, e in ogni caso (Dimitrova a parte) erano diventate quasi irreperibili.
Così il sommo direttore, non diversamente da quanto aveva fatto Mehta all'inizio degli anni '70 con la Sutherland ma cercando una via del tutto diversa, si affidò a una scommessa: chi infatti avrebbe mai pensato che la Ricciarelli

A VERY slow Turandot | 03.03.2015
Karajan's Turandot is a fine recording, the sound is excellent, with lots of atmosphere. My biggest complaint would be the conducting of Maestro Karajan himself. EVERYTHING IS TOO SLOW, I give him credit for bringing out the beauty in La Boheme and others, but the first act of Turandot, which is probably the most intense, and bloodthirsty. Here, it sounds like a train slowly making its way down hill for fear of derailing. I would've really loved it if he picked up the pace A LOT MORE/

| Superb but an over partedPrincess | 09.02.2015
This is a superbly conducted performance with stunning playing for the VPO. Karajan explores depths and details in this music unknown to other conductors. There is a major problem, however, in that the lead soprano is simply over parted by the role of Turandot. For the rest it is fabulous. If only we could have had Nilsson in the title role!

Karajan's Slow Boat To China... | 20.04.2014
It's as if Karajan had downed a bottle of scotch and a couple of vallium with one hand and grimly held up his baton in the other.
His conducting of Turandot is so meanderingly slow that you fear the whole thing will grind to a complete halt at any moment.
Casting wise, Hendrick's makes a fine Lui, the part of Calaf probably sits a little too high for Domingo, and Ricciarelli sounds as if she turned up to sing Lui but got a nasty shock when told she'll be screaming away as Turandot.

One big flaw. | 15.04.2014
Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic are wonderful. Domingo is wonderful. Hendricks is wonderful. But there is one big flaw that ruins this recording of Turandot. Katia Ricciarelli is totally miscast as Turandot. She has a beautiful lyric voice, but it is not large enough to portray the enigmatic princess. I would recommend the cds of Nilsson/Bjorling, Nilsson/Corelli, Marton/Carreras, or Sutherland/Pavarotti. I would also recommend the dvd of Marton/Domingo.

a great recording, this isn't a stage performance | 19.09.2013
So Katia Ricciarelli doesn't have a meat-cleaver voice that cuts through orchestral tutti in an opera house! That's why she's right for this role. Look at the story: do Turandot's subjects feel great about her executions of unsuccessful suitors? No--she's in peril, and a valkyrie voice doesn't convey that. Ricciarelli's voice is very expressive and suits the role perfectly. Why do reviewers follow the "conventional wisdom" that this wouldn't play in

| Souvenir | 17.08.2013
Grande époque de Karajan. Qualité orchestrale et sonore exceptionnelle. Mais comme toujours, Karajan préfère des chanteurs aux ordres à des vrais spécialistes. Or, la Ricciarelli n'avait pas la pointure vocale pour incarner Turandot. On avait un meilleur souvenir de cet enregistrement mais la nostalgie a ses vertus.
|
| 24.05.2013
All my many previous purchases from Zoverstocks have proved to be excellent buys.
However, this opera arrived without its booklet which (as I have now explained in two emails to Zoverstocks) makes it practically useless. With recording companies such as DGG you often get a full libretto with an opera these days, and what you invariably get is a track list.
Without that track list it is not possible to play a part of the opera, then stop, and go back at a later point resuming where you last left

| Why don't more people like this recording??? | 30.04.2013
I think this is a most amazing recording. All the hype that Katia Ricciarelli didn't have the chops for this role is just crap. Have you listened to how beautiful and how soaring her voice is??? I don't think the role of Turandot was too big for her at all. Placido Domingo is always in stunning voice, that's a given, I don't think he's ever recorded anything bad ever. In fact he's my favorite tenor ever and there won't ever be another like him. The Liu of Barbara

| Captivating - On balance, this is the best version of Turandot | 06.04.2013
Much has been written here by other reviewers about the misacasting of Katia Ricciarelli as Turandot. Despite her vocal shortcomings she is dramatically better Turandot than Sutherland. Sure enough, Ricciarelli struggles with the high c-s a couple of times (quite obviously) but she is always dramatically involved. One quickly forgets those moments of her vocal inadequacy because of the dense atmosphere and exotic orchestral magic Karajan and the VPO conjure up in this recording. In fact I think

| Shimmers, enthrals | 04.04.2013
I just heard the first scene of this recording on Radio 3 and it reminded me how spectacular it is. The recording of the chorus - magnificent. Domingo as Calaf falling in love with Turandot ("O meraviglia") - spellbinding. The orchestra! Oh! What a sound!
The hairs stood up on the back of my neck from start to finish. This is the recording to have.
|
| 27.02.2013
Some of the reissues of older recordings that are now available allow us to hear earlier conductors and soloists when they were at their peak. This version of Karajan with the Vienna Philharmonic is a good reminder of this. Placido Domingo makes a very heroic Calaf. It is good to hear him in his prime. The choice of Katia Ricciarelli has been criticised on the grounds that she doesn't have a powerful dominating sound, as shown by other, more famous, Turandots. Actually I found the less
|
| (+) A valiant attempt at an Eastern Turandot that just fell short. | 30.10.2012
Karajan's digital recording of Puccini's `Chinese' opera in 1981 targets at an unique interpretation that is basically un-Italianate. With the exception of perhaps Placido Domingo, he chose a cast that are not generally known for verismo operas, and his choices are successful.
The two lead women Turandot and Liu are both lyrical sopranos, some thing that is rare for the title role who are invariably sung by a dramatic soprano, not even a spinto. So it is not surprising for people to

| Dramatic imbalance bordering on disastrous. | 20.10.2012
I don't care for this recording, and had it not been included in the Domingo boxset, would not have vbeen bothered with it.
First of all, I like the three leads, especially Liu (Hendricks). Ricciarelli is one of my favourite sopranos, and her Turandot is atypical but acceptable.
As for Domingo, though really no Corelli, sounds plangent enough, if sometimes a bit forced. However, I really don't like the sound balance, especially in ensembles involving the Unknown Prince (UP), where

Problematisch, aber... | 29.08.2012
Diese Turandot hat schon immer die Opernfans gespalten. Wobei man sich im Großen und Ganzen einig darüber ist, dass sie zumindest in der Hauptrolle mit K. Ricciarelli fehlbesetzt ist. Und das ist leider so - die Ricciarelli ist kein Zoll eine Turandot, alleine schon stimmlich so überfordert mit der Rolle, dass sie erst gar nicht zur Gestaltung der Rolle kommen kann. Unverständlich, wie es zu dieser Besetzung kommen konnte (aber Karajan hat v.a. in seinen späten Jahren ja immer wieder Sänger zu

Whatever weakness this recording has, it is to be relished, even if for the orchestral music alone!
This score convincingly places Puccini among the top composers. Sure, the man has a natural sense of music and drama that secures him a place among the great opera composers even before he went for the more exotic. But the music of Turandot, as is conducted here by von Karajan, goes beyond the usual standard.
Words fail to describe the experience adequately. The complexity, the interplay of

C'est le "dernier" Karajan, celui des années 80, qui est à l'oeuvre ici : obsession de la perfection sonore, magie de la stéréophonie, Philarmonique de Vienne en majesté après la disgrâce des Berlinois.
Le geste karajanesque est himalayen, hiératique,marmoréen mais aussi inexorablement empesé -le discours se fige dans le marbre et le théâtre y laisse bien des plumes. Sous la baguette du Kappelmeister, l'ultime opus puccinien se transforme en somptueux oratorio, grande messe

| You have to listen to believe | 17.09.2008
There is no doubt that the best Turandot of, at least, the last 40 years is Birgit Nilsson. However, her recording with Molinari-Pradelli is unbearable. Not because of her, don't get me wrong. But one thing that Franco Corelli was consistent was to wreck potential great recordings and with this Turandot, Corelli obtained one of his greatest achievement. I understand that there are many Corelli fans out there, but... Disclaimer: I don't know Nilsson's earlier recording with

Mag ja sein, dass man Karajan als Klangmagier betrachtet (manchmal zu Recht), aber was er hier aufgeführt hat, ist echte Leichenschändung. Das ist nicht "Turandot" von Puccini, das ist "Turandot" von Karajan, und damit ein Tiefpunkt bzgl. Interpretation.

Turandot is one of the most spectacular opera's written in the 20th century, and it is quite unbelievable that so few recordings of it are available, and even fewer modern ones. When it comes to digital recordings, this Karajan has no real contenders: the Maazel on Sony is a live recording marred by some insanely slow tempos and too much stage noise and is repeatedly interrupted by applause; the Abbado on RCA can nowadays only be found second-hand; and the Parry on Chandos, though in many

| La Bella TURANDOT | 04.07.2001
The beautiful TURANDOT is illuminated with golden brilliance in this recording of the master Von Karajan with a casting of his more dear singers with the orchestra that he loved: The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Controversial it continues being his selection, Katia Riciarelli, for the principal role, but curiously the most obvious reason has not treated: Turandot is a dazzling woman as to be charmed with to the hero Calaf. And besides beautiful voice the Riciarelli she was a very attractive,

Did Karajan have his eyes closed during this recording session? | 20.09.2021
I ask this question because BOTH a.) the often transcendental beauty of this performance and b.) the numerous nearly-chaotic incidents it contains, probably resulted from the maestro's famous, cosmically-attuned closed eyes (note: the booklet photo shows that the Chorus was positioned BEHIND the podium, which I'm sure contributed to their too-frequent lack of coordination with the orchestra).
It also seems that Karajan had little interest in the ACT 2 Scene 1 Trio of the Masks, which

| A ne pas sous estimer | 22.08.2018
Interprétation très controversée du vieux maestro mais lecture très personnelle, très intériorisée et lente par moments. Parfois le théâtre en pâtit mais le monsieur K vieillissant sait distiller une profondeur et un certain climat à ce chef d'œuvre de Puccini.

A straining but very human Turandot | 06.02.2016
I know that a lot of people say that Ricciarelli harmed her for voice singing parts that were to heavy for her instrument which is true but remember that Turandot was a studio only assumption and i doubt that it did much harm. 1981 ( year of the recording) was the year when one could start to hear the damage that her role choices did to her voice and the high notes sound strained which one coul hear also in her Aida recording recorded in the same year. She sounded good on record just in 1979/80

Unnatural recording, but beautiful singing | 05.10.2015
The problem with this recording is that the tempo is unreasonably and absurdly slowed down relative to most performances of this opera. This forces the singers all to sing the arias a bit unnaturally. For example, when Domingo sings the famous "non piangere Liu" he literally had to wait on the slow tempo to sing the climatical "che non cade, chiede colui, che non sorride più" which, as a result, made it anti-climatical due to the unnecessarily added effort to control the

| Pour l’orchestre | 20.09.2022
Commençons par le meilleur: la direction de Karajan, lente, majestueuse, attentive aux moindres détails et aux milles couleurs de cette partition. L’orchestre Philharmonique de Vienne, absolument somptueux, luxe suprême mais nécessaire pour rendre justice à cette œuvre exceptionnelle.
Les petits rôles, Ping, Pang, Pong, Timur, Altoum: excellents. Le chœur, malgré quelques décalages, aussi merveilleux qu’on pourrait le souhaiter.
Hendricks a une petite et très mignonne voix: ici on dirait que Liù

Beautiful orchestra, otherwise mannered | 29.09.2015
Karajans Turandot is certainly a strange affair. On one hand, the orchestra is entrancingly beautiful. On the other hand some of the singing is a rather painful to hear.
The first virtue, and at the same time the first flaw, of this recording is to be found in the conducting. While Karajan puts all effort into turning the score into a magical, mystical and especially fairytale-like experience, he also bends and breaks the intentions of Puccini to the degree that you cannot always recognize the

| D'occasion, mais pas une "occase" ! | 09.03.2021
CD sales avec des ratés de lectures. A nécessité un nettoyage complet des 2 CD's. En outre, l'enregistrement est prestigieux, mais la prise de son n'est pas à la hauteur.

Karajan's Slow Boat To China... | 20.04.2014
It's as if Karajan had downed a bottle of scotch and a couple of vallium with one hand and grimly held up his baton in the other.
His conducting of Turandot is so meanderingly slow that you fear the whole thing will grind to a complete halt at any moment.
Casting wise, Hendrick's makes a fine Lui, the part of Calaf probably sits a little too high for Domingo, and Ricciarelli sounds as if she turned up to sing Lui but got a nasty shock when told she'll be screaming away as Turandot.
