"the stereo version, as sheer sound, is pretty staggering. Indeed from the purely technical view this set can stand beside the Decca Rheingold… The Rome Opera chorus and orchestra certainly acquit themselves well here….Erich Leinsdorf …. knows how to build up an exciting climax; and he paces the riddle scene admirably. Nilsson's Turandot is superbly sung, and with the greatest of ease. Hers is a natural Turandot voice, but she knows also how to make it sound beautiful. Björling, as was to be expected, is a patrician Calaf, and sings with the elegance and style one expects of him." ('Opera')
