Decca recorded Turandot with by no means obvious casting Joan Sutherland as the icy Princess and Zubin Mehta on the podium. It became the Turandot of modern times and, of course, gave us the Nessun dorma that became Pavarotti s signature aria during the World Cup 1990 festivities. With Montserrat Caballé as a heart-melting Liù, this is a recording that has not been equalled in the decades since.
The glory years of the 1980s and 90s when Pavarotti had become a true superstar lay ahead, but this recording contains some infinitely treasurable singing Pavarotti was a celebrity who d earned his fame, and learned his craft slowly and completely. He was indeed grandissimo in every way.
James Jolly
Extract from Luciano Pavarotti Edition 1: The First Decade

The world’s most famous tenor performs the world’s most famous tenor aria, Nessun dorma, on this 1972 recording of Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot. It became Luciano Pavarotti’s signature aria: he performed it at his final concert. Pavarotti even managed a hit single on the charts with this recording in 1990 when it was used on the BBC’s World Cup telecasts. The aria charted again in 2007 after this version was played at his funeral. In addition to Pavarotti, the star-studded recording features Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caballé, Nicolai Ghiaurov, conductor Zubin Mehta and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
“… Sutherland gives an intensely revealing and appealing interpretation … Pavarotti gives a performance equally imaginative, beautiful in sound, strong on detail. Mehta directs a gloriously rich and dramatic performance, superlatively recorded, still the best-sounding Turandot, while the reading also remains supreme.” –The Penguin Guide
“Turandot is a psychologically complex work fusing appalling sadism with self-sacrificing devotion. The icy Princess of China has agreed to marry any man of royal blood who can solve three riddles she has posed. If he fails his head will roll. Calaf, the son of the exiled Tartar king Timur, answers all the questions easily and when Turandot hesitates to accept him, magnanimously offers her a riddle in return – ‘What is his name?’. Liù, Calaf’s faithful slave-girl, is tortured but rather than reveal his identity kills herself. Turandot finally capitulates, announcing that his name is Love. Dame Joan Sutherland’s assumption of the title role is statuesque, combining regal poise with a more human warmth, while Montserrat Caballé is a touchingly sympathetic Liù, skilfully steering the character away from any hint of the mawkish. Pavarotti’s Calaf is a heroic figure in splendid voice and the chorus is handled with great power, baying for blood at one minute, enraptured with Liù’s nobility at the next. Mehta conducts with great passion and a natural feel for Puccini’s wonderfully tempestuous drama. Well recorded.” –The Gramophone Classical Music Guide
