"Sometimes we reviewers cannot in the circumstances of the case cease from hedging and beating about the bush. But this time I shall say that I think this new Turandot is the best." - The Gramophone, 1961
Shortlisted for Album of the Year and winner of Classical Album of the Year in the 1960 Grammy Awards, this superb Turandot, recorded in stereo in 1959 with Jussi Björling and Birgit Nilsson in the lead roles and Erich Leinsdorf conducting in Rome now sounds truly incredible with in new XR remaster.
