You're right about Netrebko! The other great Turandot was the very underrated Ghena Dimitrova.

Ghena era sensacional ❤❤❤❤

Precisely. Not keen on hearing her scream her way through Isolde anytime soon.

You can barely hear the he note while she overpowers everything. But it was there! She needs a booming tenor to match her magnificence!

Carreras had an unreliable top C - 10 years later Marton also had an unreliable top C

@@pawdaw Marton's high C took less than 10 years to leave. Here, she can't even sing the word to get to the C, she just mouths the notes without any text at all. By the time the Met production rolled around, her Bb, B, and C were highly unreliable.

@@jabber12345 The big sound is impressive but you can already hear the technical problems - sound forced into the mask and overworked chest resonance. I also dislike the clipped phrase ends - very unitalianate.

⁠​⁠@@jabber12345 you must be not very strong in Italian, otherwise you would understand that she’s singing the word enigmi when she decided to go on the “i” for the high C instead of the canonic “o” of sono (verb which she also sings after the word enigmi).
