Puccini's Turandot , first performed in 1926, was the only work in which Callas sang that was younger than herself and is a perfect vehicle for a dramatic soprano with a steady, steely and brilliant voice capable of rising to top C. Although she had last sung the strenuously demanding title rôle on stage in 1949, her subtlety is apparent in this dramatically and musically effective 1957 recording. Schwarzkopf (Liù) and Fernandi (Calaf) perfectly complement Callas as the legendary Chinese princess whose icy heart is melted by the power of love.
Reviews
FonoForum 01/10: "Um nur einen der vielen magischen Momente zu nennen: In ihrer großen Arie "In questa reggia" illuminiert Maria Callas mit einer einzigen Silbe ihren gesamten Bühnencharakter, wenn sie den Namen ihrer Ahnfrau Lou-Ling mit all dem Grauen auflädt, das dieser widerfahren ist und dessentwegen sie sich selbst mit emotionalem Eis umgürtet. Einen solchen Erkenntnisblitz löst die mit einer Trompete in der Kehle gesegnete Birgit Nilsson in der gesamten Oper kein einziges Mal aus."Disk 1 von 2 (CD)
