Description:

[Karajan Masterpieces UHQCD Vol. 2] This is the second volume in Karajan's UGQCD series, which was released to great acclaim in March 2017. Turandot is a repertoire that Karajan did not conduct live throughout his life. This is the first recording of the piece, and it was made at the Musikvereinsaal with Ricciarelli, Domingo, and others conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
