		These 39 selections, spread over 3 CDs and equalling over 3 hours of music, were recorded between 1926 and 1938, and catch Dame Eva Turner in her glorious prime.
		Not once in these 3+ hours does one get even the slightest feeling that she might not make it up to or down to a note, that she might run out of breath, or that she will lose control of the scene's dynamics.
		At full throttle--and there are two whole, live Question Scenes from Turandot included here (with Giovanni Martinelli at his formidable best)--her sheer power is overwhelming; when she wishes to sing sweetly, she manages that as well (although never with the type of beautiful "floating" some sopranos--Milanov comes to mind--are capable of).

	Am I too loud?. Robert Hugill muses on Wagnerian sopranos and changing performance tradition
		It is worth bearing in mind Dame Eva Turner's anecdote about her early Aida recordings where, in the triumph scene, she had to be placed behind the whole chorus and orchestra as otherwise her voice was just too powerful for the recording equipment.
		Listening to this recording today, you get very little feeling for the hugeness of Turner's voice; power and passion yes, but it is harnessed to a securely focussed voice.
		We know from later recordings and from live experience that Turner's voice was large and we must bear in mind that she was originally engaged by Toscanini for Ring performances at La Scala.
