To mark 100 years since the premiere of Puccini's final opera Turandot, Decca presents a limited edition deluxe reissue of the legendary 1972 recording conducted by Zubin Mehta.

Featuring an all-star cast of Luciano Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland, Montserrat Caballé and Nicolai Ghiaurov, this "definitive" recording includes Pavarotti's signature aria Nessun Dorma, which became a global phenomenon during the FIFA World Cup 1990 and remains the most streamed opera aria of all time.

Newly remastered in 24-bit/192kHz from the original master tapes, this release is available on vinyl for the first time since 1980.

Presented in a linen-bound deluxe box with a hardback book, archival material and exclusive artwork, this strictly limited edition will not be re-pressed.

Vinyl Edition: LPs half-speed mastered by Miles Showell & cut at Abbey Road Studios, and pressed on 180gm vinyl; with poly-lined inner sleeves.
