Maria Callas Ah non Giunge (With High F)

Along with the famous diminuendo at E6 I thought it would be complete if Callas had finished the Aria with a high F - so I thought I'd make it true through a little audio 'persuasion' :p

[@scottgarbo1288]

With all due respect, I don't think Madame Callas would have appreciated her voice being manipulated. She was an intense purist and perfectionist. Just my unsolicited opinion.

[@jenylogan1]

I quite agree.

[@danawinsor1380]

First of all, I don't know how you achieved it, but that high F was amazing. If I hadn't read your intro I would have believed it was real. As convincing as the high F was however, I believe the actual performance can't be improved upon. In particular, the 16th notes leading up to the high Eb, then the diminuendo, followed by the descending chromatic scale, followed by the ascending notes leading up to a breath (finally!) before the repetition of the melody; well, nobody else does, or did, anything even close to that. Some sopranos can sing higher notes, some can perhaps sing as long without taking a breath, perhaps some could sing the 16th notes just as clearly, I don't know. But I think many would agree that this performance was astonishing, and, most importantly, it was beautiful and artistic. Callas was first and foremost a musician (many may not realize that she was an accomplished pianist). I think you can hear her musical intelligence in her singing. Ultimately, in performance, her musicality and dramatic interpretation became one and the same.

[@luisrossetto5247]

Please!! listen to Polonaise Mignon MARIA CALLAS- Torino 1951- She sang High-F in the last scale. Elvira de Hidalgo said that CALLAS could reach easyli F-sharp in lesson vocalizations. She preferred anyway a middle register in which her voice was full of colour and incredible powerful. MARIA CALLAS was unique ,a GODDESS that came to the earth to bring the miracle of her supreme art!!

[@LohengrinO]

de Hidalgo had said that? there is an interview of Elvira saying that Maria went up to E natural.. of course when u can sustain a note u can go at least one semitone above but where did u hear de Hidalgo saying such a thing?

[@stefanodepeppo]

Luis sorry but no, Callas never sang a high F in Mignon, Armida, Proch;'s Variations or anywhere else. They are all wrongly enhanced live recordings. And de Hidalgo said she could reach E, not F sharp :)

My comment is not about "persuasion" - it was fun. But wanna say this. I know Callas very well (have everything she has ever recorded), and she has so many qualities and this is a good example of her singing. What really impresses me is the total control of her voice, f. e. 1.55-2.01!! After what she did from 1.40 - 1.53.? omFg

Lol I love how you hear something like a ship's foghorn underneath the high F. Hilarious.

Это не фейк, Каллас брала F3, она этим не кичилась, так как была драматическим сопрано, в финале Армиды тоже есть эта нота, я уверена, что она и F#3 могла бы взять при желании, но ей это было не нужно, так как она была Великой драматической актрисой, для нее был важен прежде всего образ, а не певческие трюки, как в цирке.) Техника у нее превосходная от природы, без изнурительных тренировок, легкая, и в основе piano на крайних верхах, как и в Лючии ди Ламмермур лежит belcanto, так же как и у Кабалье и Сазерленд, только выдающийся тембр ее голоса во многом красивее, он непостижимо красив, как и ее внешность и фигура. Идеальной формы губы, улыбка, линия подбородка и огромные глаза Марии достойны отдельной дискуссии. Тембр ее голоса по красоте сопоставим только с Анной Нетребко, я имею ввиду прежде всего нижний по окраске меццовый регистр, он волнует и будоражит, а верх пронзительно прекрасен и неповторим. У Сазерленд по большей части красив верх, он космической чистоты, низ менее привлекателен, но я никак не умоляю достинств ее безупречной техники, она просто поражает! А у Кабалье неподражаемое и долгое пиано на верхних нотах, но нет такого диапазона и техники, как у Каллас и Сазерленд. Спасибо всем, музыка как и природа прекрасна в многообразии!...

Assoluta, very interesting, thanks! By the way, she never vocalized till G, in her prime she could hit quickly an F but only vocalizing. She never sang an F in public. Elvira de Hidalgo told me this.

[@manolis.799]

You met Hildago? What else did she say about Callas?

[@stefanodepeppo]

Well, as you can imagine she was EXTREMELY proud of her. Only good things. This happened about one year after Callas had died. I was 17, she also gave me a voice lesson (the absolute first of my life!), but I left her home hoarse..Eventually I realized she never had any other famous pupil apart from Callas. There must have been a good reason...But of course it was a VEEERY interesting encounter.

[@manolis.799]

Wow, that's something, you must be a great singer to have gotten a lesson from her! What was it that left your voice sore? I'm very curious.

[@stefanodepeppo]

because we are more interested in Callas vocalism than in Price's. I was 18, so I definitely wasn't a great singer! She pushed my voice high as I never went during the times I had vocalized and played with my voice a bit. I left hoarse.
