The Met's 1962 Turandot revival struck box office gold. Starring Birgit Nilsson and Franco Corelli, with Kurt Adler conducting, it was a runaway success. Relive those superlative performances in this week's Ambient Stereo XR remastered live broadcast performance as we mark Puccini's 100th anniversary.

We also mark Furtwängler's 70th anniversary this week, with a full 20% automatic discount on all 51 Pristine offerings of his unbeatable performances at the podium.

And we join in the global Black Friday madness with a full €100 discount on all our USB Digital Music Collections. Dubbed "one of the record bargains of the century" at full price by Gramophone magazine, this discount will be applied automatically on orders placed from now until December 6.

"In 1944, the conductor conveys an edge of your seat volatility that may have something to do with the circumstances under which the recording was made... Furtwängler finds a truth in these scores that only the most penetrating and dedicated artists ever realize... a summit of the art of conducting" - Fanfare

"It would be implausible that Furtwängler is doing anything other than venting his angst through this troubling music... For those who want a recording of Furtwängler’s famous 1942 account this is the best I have heard." - MusicWeb International

This week we reissue our Complete Furtwängler Beethoven Symphonies in a beautifully packaged 6-CD set, complete with a newly-updated 1942 Ninth Symphony.

We also celebrate Britten's 111th birthday, with an 11% discount on all his music at Pristine.

"A remarkably fine reproduction of Il Trovatore and one of the best examples, if not the very best, of opera-recording that has been put forward since the electrical process came into use" - The Gramophone, 1931

Recorded some 94 years ago in Milan, this 1930 masterpiece remains one of the greatest recordings of Verdi's Il Trovatore, starring Aureliano Pertile, with superb support from Maria Carena, Apollo Granforte and Irene Minghini-Cattaneo. These new transfers by Mark Obert-Thorn bring brilliant new life to an all-time great!

We also celebrate this week the 125th birthday of Eugene Ormandy, with a special 20% discount on all his recordings at Pristine.
