G.Puccini: "TURANDOT" (MET, 10/15/66) Nilsson, Corelli, Moffo, Giaiotti-Mehta (the legendary tape)

Metropolitan Opera House New York, N.Y October 15th, 1966 Everything is dialed up 110%, and the audience lets them know it. Got this from Charlie Handelman 30 years ago, and I've de-cliked, de-clipped, and raised the volume. Simply unbelievable night at the opera.
