She was very intelligent and spoke several languages , so I like to hear her being free , she is a different character then .

It's interesting the mindset of women back in the 1950's. Here you have Maria Callas who was a working woman demanding a very handsome salary for her concerts, yet she is talking about ruining her husband with her excessive shopping as if she was some sort of homemaker relying on her husband's salary. By the way, I love the way that she talks--so refined and articulate. She was exquisite.

Yes you're right and she obviously knew that she was the one making the money but I think she enjoyed playing up the housewife role in order to make herself seem more 'normal' for the women in those times. Just my opinion, but I really don't believe for a second that deep down she believed what she said here... she knew that she held the cards to her success.

J. K. Sad to say but yet so true be careful what you ask for & Onassis wanted to be accepted in worldly society & used Jackie; Jackie used him & then Ari's son was killed & it all went wrong. Like my very wise grandmother would say give free & receive free. And she would also say we will always have GIVERS & TAKERS IN LIFE. And my Grandmother was such a GIVER. (But no one's fool.) I learned so much from all 4 of my Grandparents & never took them for granted. These are qualities that you May not be born with. BUT they can be instilled by very good parenting and nurturing. Unfortunately, all these three individuals did not have this type of upbringing. They would also say Money Changes Everything and is the root of evil. These are all Bible-based Spanish French and Portuguese proverbs. I have always been a lover of music. But when I hear and learn of these very sad situations it seems so futile to pursue something or someone to your own detriment. I'm not a philosopher but I know the truth. They were all products of their environment upbringing etc. And now they're all asleep in death no longer suffering until they are resurrected to a better life on Earth to live forever in peace and harmony. In the Bible, Revelation 21 verses 1 through 4, and Psalms chapter 37 verses 10 through 30 gives you a good explanation about God's purpose for mankind. If you are truly interested about the truth about God and his word the Bible go to jw.org. Thank you for listening and I certainly don't mean to preach to any one of you but I feel I have a good understanding of The Human Condition though I'm a very imperfect individual I know the truth. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral. Take care. my friends. AGAPE FOR NOW. ☝💛🌏🌎🌍🇮🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇺🇸🇨🇳🇬🇧🇯🇵🇩🇪🇷🇺

It is very interesting to see how times have changed. Callas stresses here as she frequently did that the voice should be like an instrument in the orchestra. In the previous century the instrumentalists tried to imitate singers - Chopin recommended his piano students to go to the opera and listen to the great divas sing Bellini and then try to emulate their legato when they played the piano.

It goes both ways. Singers and instrumentalists should learn from one another. We each have our strengths but we are all dealing with the same thing .. music
@hodgrix
@hodgrix 5 жыл бұрын
The original post was about how Callas mentions that singers should imitate instrumentalists. I don't believe that conception has ever changed, regardless of size of orchestras or whatever. It is a musical thing. What Callas means is that a singer should imitate the note accuracy and attention to detail of a violinist or pianist, for example. She says that all of these trills and embellishments make up a part of the expression and drama of the music, so they need to be first carefully attended to, like an instrumentalist would do. Unfortunately not many singers do this. It is also true that instrumentalists should imitate singers. The goal of an instrumentalist is to sound as human, fragile, and vulnerable as a human voice.

There was another interview he did with her and Sir Thomas Beecham, she in New York, and Beecham in London, which had some very funny moments. When Beecham spoke, he would often become blustery. At one point it got pretty annoying to Madame Callas, and, trying to restrain herself, snapped “Sir Thomas, please-you’re hurting my eardrums!” Murrow couldn’t restrain himself from laughing!

Well, after all, as of late, our lady celebrities tend to show it than just speak of it... It must be said, though she'd had nothing to do with Hollywood, Callas embodied the kind of hard glamor inherent in the old school. These days, none of that, just vulgarity and gross exhibitionism.
