Title: Great Turandot
Review: Great interpretation of Turandot for Callas. Her intense declamation gives her performance an imperious power, as she offers not only the ice of the character, but the fire which Turandot tells us burns beneath. In other words, we listen a more layered Turandot than other great singers have chosen to reveal. The fullnes of her phrasing, and the insinuations of her low notes, give to the character the correct dimensions. Is an human and fascinating Turandot. Tullio Serafin conducts this opera masterly, with a lot of colors, and great expression. The rest of the cast sing very well, and in a refined way. Giuseppe Nessi (the emperor Altoum) was the first Pang in the very first performance of all, at La Scala under Toscanini, on April 26, 1926.
