Maria Callas - interview mit Wolf Mittler - München, Hotel Vierjahreszeiten - 1959

[@garyrobinson8665]

Man she was at her most beautiful in 58 and 59. Stunning.

[@EOh-ew2qf]

she was 36 here. she passed away at 54..

[@effrosinidimou9843]

@@EOh-ew2qf he means 1958 - 59 not her age

[@renaissanceinblack]

Certainly very stylish! But I also love the combination of beauty and the voice. So in that case I would have been very happy to see her remain at her weight about 1952. She sounded great for sure in 1955 and very slimmed down.

Was für ein großartiger Journalist. Sein Englisch ist wirklich ausgezeichnet und er hat sehr viel Charme. Man merkt das sogar die Callas von ihm angetan war.

[@zehnthaussteinbach5377]

Unfassbar! Da hat der Mann die Gelegenheit, 10 Minuten mit Maria Callas zu sprechen und hält sich dreieinhalb Minuten damit auf, dass das Gespräch einen Tag verschoben wurde ...

[@ТанзиляНуруллина-з2ф]

Великий художник! Несравненная! Божественная! 16 сентября 1977 года она покинула наш земной мир, пролетев как комета на небосклоне, зажгя наши сердца любовью к опере и вернулась к Всевышнему, в свой родной дом, выполнив свою земную Миссию! 46 лет прошло, а ощущение, что было вчера! Ни один певец не вызывает столько интереса и бурных дискуссий, как она. Каллас навсегда останется достоянием всего Мира!!! ❤❤❤❤

Interesting how her voice would perform miraculously in front of the German and British public, who understand music better than anyone!

Un altro gioiello: questa intervista di Maria con Wolf Mittler. Maria mi è parsa un po' meno a proprio agio che in quella di Berlino del 1962. Forse una mia impressione. Grande regalo Allan Rizzetti, grazie mille!

[@kbhprinsesse]

Credo che hai ragione. Era un periode molto difficile per lei, non cantava più alla Scala o al Metropolitan, aveva problemi con la voce, la stampa scriveva sempre cose orribile di lei.

Una maravilla de entrevista . Muchas gracias Allan por publicarlo .

[@baritonebynight]

I love what Callas says about foch......so many non singers are obsessed with foch....yet singers themselves don't quite see it that way.

[@kbhprinsesse]

I presume you mean Fach? If yes, Callas is the perfect example of how important it is to respect Fach. She and others such as Caballé were in the habit of belittling Fach, saying that "once upon a time, a soprano was just a soprano", conveniently overlooking that orchestration became gradually heavier as the 19th century progressed. Light sopranos have paid the price when they took on too heavy roles, just like heavy sopranos like Callas paid the price for lightening the magnificent instrument to be able to sing lighter roles. Callas placed the voice higher to be able to sing Elvira, Lucia, Amina etc. and eventually this new position of her voice became her downfall, diminishing the range and making the voice less stable.

I've seen photos of her smoking cigarettes. Was she a smoker?​@@kbhprinsesse

I think that is Hambourg and not Munich because the concert of the gala was in that city and that hotel Vierjahreszeiten is in Hambourg.

[@kbhprinsesse]

They say at the beginning that this is München. They also mention later that she has already performed in Hamburg and Stuttgart.

[@alejandrosotomartin9720]

@@kbhprinsesse But that hotel is in Hamburg isn´t? I´m not completelly skilled in german still.

​@@mqartinmoura3576 , ma non sempre gli andava di rilasciare interviste...e nel 1959 temeva che gli rivolgeremo a tranello domande sulla sua vita personale. Il tono della voce non e' tranquillo ma estremamente sorvegliato e piuttosto annoiato.

Her accent changed according to place and circumstances. In private, she spoke American English à la Manhattan.

[@jamesmorrison2055]

I've read that before, I don't think so though.

[@johnpickford4222]

@InBoccaChiusa: And you know how she spoke in private because she spoke to you in private? I doubt it!! “American English a la Manhattan”. WTF does that mean??

[@BellaFirenze]

@@johnpickford4222 Well, she was born in Manhattan. There are many examples of Callas speaking English to Americans, John Ardoin being one of them. I spoke to the singer twice, after performances of Tosca and Norma. However, we spoke in Italian. Who are you, who do you hope to be? Why are you so angry? Are you an insufferable opera queen so common in America?

[@renaissanceinblack]

Some New York accent certainly appears after her angry backstage interview in Dallas, talking about Rudolf Bing. It's a natural thing, IMO
