5 out of 5 stars Kunzel A Consistent Winner.......2007-07-12

I have yet to find anything that Kunzel does on CD that lacks imagination and quality. His renditions are excellent. Mastering quality is outstanding - leading to a most excellent product on just about any stereo system. I would have to say that "Kunzel" on the label is equal to the quality you would expect from RCA "Red Seal" products.

    Album Description

    This installment of the Opera Explained series tackles Turandot, one of Puccini's grandest and most sweeping operas. The opera was nearly completed when Puccini died, and his student Franco Alfano used the composer's sketches to finish the work. Set in Imperial China, Princess Turandot pronounces that she will marry the first man who can answer three riddles. The penalty for answering incorrectly is death. The score has many memorable elements, but the most famous aria is Nessun Dorma. David Timson is the narrator for this outstanding program.

    5 out of 5 stars excellent introduction to Turandot.......2006-02-11

    I really enjoyed this CD. The narration is superb and provides interesting background to the opera. The singers might not be international stars, but only small samples are used to explain what is going on and point out the main musical and dramatic themes. For less than the cost of parking to see an opera, this CD is a bargain.

    3 out of 5 stars A Fine Narration Let Down by the Provincial Musical Examples.......2004-12-22

    This is another in the excellent 'Opera Explained' series from Naxos, all of them written by Thomson Smillie and narrated with verve by David Timson. Already the series contains CDs devoted to 21 other operas, including such favorites as Aïda, La Bohème and Carmen, and all of them are excellent.

    This one, however, is let down by the musical examples, taken from Naxos's own recording of 'Turandot' that features second-level singers. The provincial orchestra (Málaga) and conductor (Alexander Rahbari) do OK, but they cannot make up for the only barely acceptable contributions by singers soprano Giovanna Casolla as Turandot and tenor Lando Bardolini as Calaf. As Liù, soprano Masako Deguci is better but still pretty generic. And when the three principals of this opera are not up to international standards, it makes it hard to get involved in the music. Still, Smillie's text is helpful in explaining the background and the goings-on of this work, the only fairy-tale opera ever written by Puccini. Although he didn't live to finish it, he left copious notes about the final scene and Smillie makes a good case for accepting Franco Alfano's completion of the score; I agree with that assessment.

    The bottom line is that the spoken narration here is fine, but you'd do better to supplement it with the complete music of 'Turandot' by buying one of the classic recordings featuring Pavarotti/Sutherland or Bjoerling/Nilsson, both at mid-price.
