Spot on about Turandot. The Pappano is a disaster, in my view, and especially when compared to half-century-old Mehta. That performance ony gets better the further such singers become impossible to recreate. There is not ONE note I would change in that recording. I have, btw, a remastered Decca but who knows? It says it's remastered, but perhaps you were thinking of more serious a make-over, though of all opera recordings, this one needs less than any other. We should create a Pantheon, like Ralph Moore's Untouchables!
