5.0 out of 5 stars THE night of nights, 25 Jun 2007
The passages appended to the 1985 DG French recording conducted by Abbado are here (La Scala 1978) restored to where they belong but with two exceptions: the original duet between Elisabetta and Eboli in Act 4 is discarded in favour of the revised (and stronger) version; so is the ballet, which isn't a great loss. However, the cut in the Fontainebleau duet (also on the live Giulini) is irritating: anticlimactically, Elisabetta recognizes Carlo within a few seconds. Abbado's 1978 cast is in every way superior to that of 1985, not least because the singers are comfortable with the language (5 acts but in Italian). Margaret Price's Elisabetta surprised me, having known her solely as a Mozartian performer: she phrases her lines beautifully. Domingo's youthful Carlo is vocally and dramatically more memorable than his EMI version. Obraztsova's fiery Eboli makes one regret that she didn't record the role commercially: I have no doubt that she was also a great actress, 'O don fatale' being the most dynamic interpretation I've ever heard (no doubt the applauding audience go mad after this). The other Russian contributor is Nesterenko: his thrilling slavic Filippo is close to Christoff's but not a carbon copy. The show's star is Bruson (to those who know his later recordings, he may sound almost unrecognizable): pity that he, too, didn't commit his role to disc in the studio (a Posa full of nobility and devoid of all sentimentality). Though Roni's Grand Inquisitor is slightly tremulous, to my relief, the role wasn't given to Foiani, who is just an OK Monk here (his Inquisitor on EMI, even more uncomfortably tremulous than Roni's, is the set's only weak link). Recently disappointed by the overrated and heavily cut 1958 ROH Giulini recording, I'm glad I've met this Milanese CARLO: the sound is really good, though not outstanding; but that's easily forgotten, given the performance's overall success, the audience's rapturous response (generously sampled here) adding to the excitement.

5.0 out of 5 stars the video please!, 12 Oct 2008
This is an utterly amazing performance....and one that has been committed to video. It was broadcasted on tv by RAI and I have seen a video copy of that. But will La Scala PLEASE release this on a decently remastered DVD, along with the hair-raising Turandot with Domingo, Dimitrova and Ricciarelli?
