A one in a trillion voice, such perfection. Sung from deep within her soul, like no other.

[@irinadavidofflavrentyeva798]

Maria Callas is an embodiment of the highest artistic and vocal degree! Each note she delivers is at equal worth - very expressive and emotional, regardless of, this is a powerful, highest, fortissimo one, or tender, pianissimo, like a flute sound trill. Her incomparable, vocal vituosity and her beauty, always astound and enchant me! I see her as a Greek Goddess, who came from Heaven to Earth and gave us - humans the gift of her Devine Talent.

[@shaundudley4576]

That's how you get to be that. The clearest strongest conviction of vision based on superhuman assiduous dedication to that vision. There is a letter she wrote to de hidalgo where she speaks of her preparations for her first Norma the clear eyed confidence, knowledge of her unquestionable sui generis excellence is telling.

[@BuddyWalkin]

The divine, none like her! I grew up in Milan, my father was a lyric tenor and he sang for thirty years in the choir of the Teatro alla Scala. Even as a child in the 80s I was part of the children's choir, I met Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti, Placido Domimgo, Katia Ricciarelli, Franco Zeffirelli and many others. I had the privilege of forming myself musically in an international and prestigious cultural context. Of all musical genres, Opera is certainly one of those that has the greatest emotional impact on the public. I have seen friends who are always very cold and hard in life move to tears. Maria Callas is a timeless myth, her voice is full of emotion, her defects have become merits due to her great, enormous expressive capacity.

[@ckzf1842]

Wow , how lucky and privileged you were !

[@marcellogenesi6390]

Buddy Walkin At that time you were either a Callas, or a Tebaldi follower, how on earth one can possibly say that one is better than the other? It is of course a matter of personal choice. But even Callas admitted than Tebaldi had a better voice. Was Pavarotti better then Gigli or Caruso? I used to work in the restaurant. of the Hotel Continental in 1956 (sadly now converted in to something else) in Via Manzoni no more than 200 meters away from La Scala, after the performance quite a few of them used to come to dine in the restaurant, but unlike you I have never had the pleasure to even enter inside La Scala.

[@andrewgibbon-williams7974]

You were a lucky boy Buddy. It's not the voice, it's the personality. I'd rather hear Callas sing out of tune than all those divas who sang in it.

[@marcellogenesi6390]

@@andrewgibbon-williams7974 How sad! Then what is the point of music when the personality ,( what ever that means,) that is all you are interested in. All those Divas were dedicated musicians, that worked very hard to achieve what they did. Preference yes, Quasi contempt no!

[@paullewis2413]

The problem with opera now is exactly what Maria predicted. It is in its dying throws if not already dead. So few genuine great singers, producers who are only interested in their own distorted view of how to present opera for their own egos. The only saving aspect is the handful of excellent conductors so concert performances are probably the way ahead provided there are enough talented singers to be found which is becoming more and more difficult.

Couldn't agree more, this one comes off very well indeed. The way the notes at the end of certain phrases seem to hang suspended in space, creates a tension and a plaintiveness not achieved by anyone else in quite the same way. And the powerful closing is the perfect emotional climax. Even Caniglia's performance of this piece, which is superb, cannot equal what Callas does with it in this recording.

It's important to acknowledge the expert direction on the part of Tulio Serafin. I believe he understood Callas, possibly more than any other conductor. He could follow Callas, and I imagine the other artists he worked with, better than many other conductors, IMO. His sense of tempo was unsurpassed -- I believe he said "a tempo should never call attention to itself." This recording of "Ebben?

[@leonaldobrum]

I agree. Maria Callas had one special element that is pervasive and brought her to the great heights that were hers: PERSONALITY. Her personality was reflected in many ways. Such a voice would always be celebrated BUT so much more was in it. Her great knowledge of Music (requires time and work), her intimate knowledge of the characters' roles that brought about her strong impersonations, and also her understanding of the true character of Opera - sung theater, not just songs, so she acted, and I could go on and on. All in her revealed the magnificent way she looked and acted in what she did. A true artist, a true performer, a dedicated student, but above all a WOMAN.

[@alioffe4321]

Small correction, tho. No soprano has had a bigger voice on record. Maybe in an isolated register, but not across a three octave range! She recorded the biggest eb6 in history, her middle was on par with Flagstad and her contraltoish chest voice was exqusitely sonorous and deep.

[@beamoorefrank6270]

Brava - incomparable

[@MarcoCallas]

This is an easy aria, but the phrasing is sublime, as always. Absolutely out of this world, nobody can sing like Maria Callas.

[@charlescrowell4981]

The beauty of that voice, and the sadness is we'll never hear it again.

[@conexant51]

I love pretty much all genres of classical music, yet opera normally disagrees with me... Only!.. The voice and spirit of Maria Callas gets to me every time, and I weep whenever I hear her voice. She's a diamond among the most precious of stones!

Eloquently put...Opera leaves me cold for the most part...its over dramatisation and exaggerated edges. This, however...speaks purely and straight to the heart. Sublime

Impressionante... Escuto todos dias. Essa aria é uma perfeicao em sua voz. Sem duvida, toca na alma.

Another Maria Callas will be born in a few hundred years. She was perfect and for this reason the Satanist Onanis (onanism) had the mission to take her off the stage and destroy her. He succeeded: Maria Callas arrived in RAI and the ONANIS reptile arrived in IAD to its boss Satan. Maria Callas remains for the lovers of DIVINA music, and Onanis remains a drain, a reptile. Μια άλλη Μαρία Κάλλας θα γεννηθεί σε μερικές εκατοντάδες χρόνια. Ήταν τέλεια και για αυτό το λόγο ο σατανιστής Ονάνης είχε την αποστολή να την βγάλει από τη σκηνή και να την καταστρέψει. Το πέτυχε: Η Μαρία Κάλλας έφτασε στο RAI και το ερπετό ONANIS έφτασε στο IAD στο αφεντικό του Σατανάς. Η Μάρα Κάλλας παραμένει για τους λάτρεις της μουσικής DIVINE και ο Onanis παραμένει αγωγός, ερπετό ..

The BBC has decreed in 2007, that Callas DaVina, is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. What this means is that the Professional Global Operatic Community has found her to be the epitome of opera greatness, that will not be equaled, because she can not be equaled.

[@PerryLMarrs]

I heard her in recital many years ago, and the BBC is right!!!!!

[@rascaypica73]

"Mai piu, mai piu!" Only that very moment deserve to be studied by ALL the opera singers. She gave a dramatic meaning to this aria that some singers, like Netrebko nowadays, sing like screaming and, obviously, without understanding what is DRAMA.

[@judithbereczky4114]

Netrebko is overrated.

[@billholt716]

Everyone to his or her own taste. However, when they are simply lunatic, it is best to keep your impressions to yourself. Callas had her great moments to be sure but sang long after her peak, because she was a legendary draw. Netrebko has never sounded as if she were screaming to me, although to my ears Callas often did, especially in the later recordings, several of which I posses. Nettrbko may be overrated, that's true. There are several other sopranos just as good and a few of them are singing contemporaneously. Nevertheless, she has been at least as good as any other singer of her era and, with her maturing voice, has gone from coloratura roles to Tosca in a way that makes any fair and astute listener say that she IS a glorious Puccini singer at this stage of her career. Netrebko has never lacked for stage presence and dramatic interpretation. I'm sure you mean someone else.

[@MikrosBeethoven]

I agree with what you are saying, except for the part that attacks Netrebko. You are harsh. All the sopranos of our time sure do something right to be where they are. All I'm saying is no negativity please, can we just praise what Callas did best?

[@Fiorano1978]

c'est beau , c'est simple et plein d'émotions , la voix exceptionnelle de cette femme touche le plus profond de l'âme de ceux et celles qui l'écoutent , dans mon cas personnel c'est Maria Callas qui m'as fait aimer la musique classique , elle n'est plus mais son oeuvre est restée et c'est un grand privilège car nous pouvons en profiter chaque jour , quand je l'écoute j'oublie tout , je pars en voyage et je fais sauter toutes mes barrières au point que je ne retiens plus mes larmes ..
