Inga Balabanova - Turandot "In questa reggia"

[GoldenAgeSunshine]

I love her big dramatic voice. Evidently she has understood Callas's lesson, but if she continues singing this repertoire at her age, her voice will be gone within 5-7 years. Some intonation problems here and there (cf.other excerpts) are already audible. Her Lady Macbeth is incredible! Just love her and let's pray her huge talent doesn't vanish too soon ...

I like this.  She does some lovely subtle things at the start of the aria. So many sopranos just blast their lungs out from the first note. Sounds a bit of a strain at the end though.
