Early Callas blasts a HUGE D6 in Leonora's aria

Highlight comments from the listeners below:
From philipc67:
She sets the standard with her very first Leonora, live in Mexico in the summer of 1950. She was not yet 27 years old and prepared the role alone. This is indeed sublime singing, observe the even placement of the voice all throughout the range, the reining in of her Assoluta instrument to produce those miraculous soft trills and chiaroscuro tones, the total control of diminuendo and pianissimo, the superb phrasing, her trademark "tears in the voice" like black diamonds, that violent high D-flat which comes out of nowhere. She will do it again six months later at the San Carlo di Napoli under Serafin in a somewhat more refined and restrained interpretation. Other singers (Sutherland, Price, Caballe et al) take their time with this piece, showing off indulgent high notes etc, but Maria invests it with the despair Verdi must have imagined. I listened to this the other evening, having survived a bad day, and she made me WEEP. Not one of all "the others" can do it.
-From Moirbasso
I think the thing that is so amazing about this recording, is not just the singing (which is astounding, considering the size of her voice) but the almost cavalier way in which Callas sings the music, EXACTLY as it was written, and then makes it seem effortless on top of it all! Others have written that the tempo here was without any spurious rubati - and they are correct. I love other singers in this role, but the scope of Callas' instrument going from "D'Amor" to "Miserere" is just mind-boggling.

It's like she's crying, like Leonora was doing in that moment. Just "Divina": none other word could describe her better.

[@Operacrazed]

Glistening, vibrant, more than ample tone and volume. It is the use of her instrument that counts here. The subtleties of her singing are magnificent and unsurpassed. For Maria it was not about the high or low notes but about about delivering a complete and true vocal performance and interpretation. She acted both vocally and physically.

[@luisrossetto5247]

[@beachfanatic2010]

This is also my favorite recording of Callas’ voice! The instrumentis pure perfection at this point of her career and she was in such great voice this night! Her 1953 at La Scala her top notes are lesser but her low voice is superior vs here her low voice sounds less full but both of these Leonora are so plunsh, rich and thick! A lot of people like Tebaldi’s richness, yet she never achieve this level of richness!

[@Vorenius1]

Callas sang in Mexico for 3 consecutive years. At her very best. She got being Maria Meneghini. 3 years later she left as LA DIVINA.

[@DuduSperbBR]

no one ever sang like this. not that we've known. Callas was a miracle, one that values an entire existence.

[@cesarezappa7574]

penso di non sbagliare nel dire che lei,voce naturale,una volta in possesso di una variopinta e perfetta tecnica,in scena rappresentava con la sua voce una malinconia esistenziale del suo vissuto e quindi si immedesimava nel personaggio e il pubblico riceveva questo messaggio e veniva travolto.

[@paullewis2413]

I couldn't care less about the d6, it's Maria's unbelievable middle register and the way she uses it for dramatic effect - incomparable!

[@victorialombarderoco6747]

I can’t believe Verdi couldn’t hear this!!!

[@celloguy]

Simply unbelievable in every regard. I think this might be the single greatest record of Callas' Voice. Her Norma and Medea are greater/deeper/fuller characterisations perhaps (they are more interesting characters too), but here we hear a voice pushed to its extremes and yet still singing with such an enormous surplus, such a superflux, that it transcends the conventional parameters of the music and scene.

[@LohengrinO]

the 1953 Firenze Medea and the 1952 Covent Garden Norma find Callas in equal surpluss of Voice, as if singing those role was a walk in the park.. there is a point in the Covent Norma (when she sings the phrase Come del primo amor) where she sings a line 16 sec long, she ascends to a C6 and all that without the slightest effort

[@celloguy]

Lohengrin O that's the Norma with the incredible ending that you posted - the tear in the voice one? I will listen to both of these again.

[@LohengrinO]

[@natanaelgorrin9473]

En el siglo XX y en lo que va del XXI solamente Callas ha sido Leonora, su sentimiento, entonación, el cuidado de acatar lo que buscaba el compositor, su legato, sus agudos, su dicción, pero sobre todo la manera de hacernos sentir con su voz cada sentimiento. La desesperación para no hacerle saber de su dolor. La Divina.

[@ASerranobaritone]

Efectivamente. Todo eso que describes solo es posible con la conjunción de dos cosas: una musicalidad exquisita y una técnica insuperable. En el caso de Maria, además, había un tercer elemento: una presencia vocal fuera de serie. Si a eso le sumamos su inteligencia tenemos el cocktail perfecto, el que le hace ser insuperable en este papel como en la mayoría de los otros roles verdianos y, por supuesto, en Norma, Medea o Tosca, en los que ha dejado el listón muy alto para las cantantes de las próximas generaciones.

To: Philip67 Although it was a couple of years ago, I’ve just read your comments about Maria Callas. You are so right about your comments. I won’t go into the reasons as this will only annoy the people with negative comments even more ! But yes, she is the only soprano that make me cry, touching so many aspects of my childhood which bring on the tears in nearly everything she sings. I love the Italian words which are used - specifically ‘assoluta’ which sums it up totally. And yes to hear her with either Di Stefano or Carelli ( who I prefer) in that last act of Norma is sufficient reason to understand the prevailing question ‘why am I here’ ?! Thanks again for your able and intense description on Maria Callas. Richard Lubbock (London)

[@MichaelDG2023]

I remember watching a video of her singing this for a 1957 concert at the Opéra Garnier in Paris. I purchased the video cassette from the gift shop there with the little I had left of my week’s food stipend. I was 20, it was worth it. I was enraptured, totally spellbound. Despite the fact that I’d been listening to her for two years by then it was the first time I’d seen her perform. Less than five years later a rekindling of interest in Callas in the US would make that concert and the rest of her (tragically few) videos available at every single Tower Records. She would even be featured on Apple billboards. But at that point in my life, it was rare indeed to see her in live action so I took the chance and went hungry. I wouldn’t do that today, but isn’t that what youth is for? Thank you for this exciting recording and for the nostalgic transport it bright me.

[@afritimm]

Was that not 1959 in Paris rather than 1957? The President Rene' Coty attended. I also believe it was her debut there, incredible as it seems, when her "great" career was about to end when she met Onassis. Paris just wasnt a top opera venue at that time.

Thank you for sharing. For anyoine who loves this aria I also recomment Leontyne Price's performance. Maybe she was not as emotional and "Oscar winning actress" on stage like Callas, but she had an incredibly beautiful brightness in her voice and was technically perfect, with beautiful pianissimi.

[@gergananestorova1057]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTEcnyoh92Ihpo

[@beachfanatic2010]

After this nobody else counts. Fioriture on point, trills so much on point that you don’t even notice them unless you listen really carefully but they are there in a very define and pronounce way. Pianos are there, drama and emotion is there, CLARITY of tone is there, intensity in there and most importantly a genuine DRAMATIC SOPRANO vocal weight and size. Dynamics are there: listen more carefully and you will notice that she sings the entire piece in mezza di voce.

[@arnaudrcs]

i think the most beautiful part is not the D6... i think the thrill after it it's amazing

[@LohengrinO]

her trills in Trovatore were a matter of discuss ever since she first sang Leonora.. huge references inside books :D

[@LohengrinO]

ye some comments are incredible... I place them to the description above when they climb up above the ordinary admiration and contain amazing info or poetic interpretation of her Art

[@jmiller05]

Even after that HUGE D6, she maintains her sound and agility in the descending scales. A masterpiece of an aria, what I would call Verdi's own Casta Diva :)

[@LohengrinTh]

and how unbelievably tragic that D6.. the ultimate proof of her tortured soul.. if you listen at this once, then u simply miss it in all the subsequent performances... I think Sutherland sings it as well in her suprisingly very good Leonora

[@jmiller05]

The D6 was originally written too right? I think it's one of the few Verdi scores above a C#6. Obviously, most sopranos have omitted it. Sutherland's Il Trovatore is indeed very good and musical. Leontyne's Leonora is also gorgeous but without the agility of Callas or Joan. Btw, where do you find these recordings? They are fantastic!

[@LohengrinO]

I never understood if this D6 is optional or not...

[@Gav640]

I've only seen one copy of a Trovatore score, and in the one I saw, the D is written and there is an ossia indicating there is an optional passage up to a Bb instead (which is what sopranos usually sing nowadays). If you listen to very old recordings (before 1930) most of the sopranos sing the D. I don't know why the alternative eventually became more commonplace.

[@LohengrinO]

Gav640 ah thank you so much for this information.. you answered me a question I had for yeaaaaaaaaaars... it is excruciatingly difficult thats why.. even Sutherland glides towards it, she does not attack it... this aria for me is one of the most difficult ever written.. you can clearly hear the torture on the voice of the singers who sing it.. was listening to Caballe's legendary 1966 Trovatore in her absolute prime and she almost cracks twice in this area (her sound does not come out.. it is so disturbing / still the audience goes wild I ll never understand why people were deaf regarding Caballe's most faulty technique that gave us an Ocean of cracks in her live performances or all those endless pauses in order to access the falsetto placement after 1969 when it got disconnected from the rest of the voice)

[@allannadoll7189]
