OPERA
Giacomo Puccini: Turandot

Kaufmann, Ermonela Jaho, Michael Spyres, Michele Pertusi
Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Antonio
Pappano
Coro dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia,
Antonio Pappano

Puccini’s Turandot
conducted by Antonio Pappano is not just an orientalist-romantic
fairy tale, but a powerful drama and ritual full of bloodlust,
horror and touching sensitivity. The Orchestra dell’Accademia
Nazionale di Santa Cecilia plays brilliantly, and the
interpretation underlines the opera’s modern features and
symphonic cohesion without losing anything of the genuine
Puccini- lyricism and Italian flow. Sondra Radvanovsky, Jonas
Kaufmann and Ermonela Jaho create intense and nuanced roles, and
the original Alfano finale adds value to the well-produced
recording.
