A slight manipulation of reality, yes, but I always wanted to hear how it would sound in the original key with Callas!

The original key is Eb (that is how Callas sang it in every recording performance extant) NOT E which is the manipulation here, so I don't see the point of it. There is a splendid, solid Eb at the end of this 1952 Mexico recording, just as all the others after it.

For those who didn't understand: this audio is modified to sound one tone higher than what she sang. Callas sang this Mad Scene in Eb, not F, like most sopranos. 😘🫰
@golden-634 ай бұрын
It's the other way around. About 95% of the time, Sopranos sing the Mad Scene not in its original key (F Major) but in Eb Major. This came about so Sopranos could end the scene with a high Eb. Few Sopranos can pull off a sustained high F.

It's definitely not the right speed. She would never have sung this in F major. Only a handful of sopranos sing it in the original key, and those who could didn't for various reasons. Lily Pons, Natalie Dessay, Ruth Welting, and perhaps Mady Mesple sang in F. Caballe did, but sang the score as written without the flute cadenza in the mad scene. In the original score if I remember correctly, there are two high Cs and one C# or D flat in the entire score. There's no flute cadenza in the original French or the customary Italian translation 😊

This recording has been wrought up to F from E flat. Her timbre is unrecognisable as Callas due to the distortion of pitch. Also, the tempo is circuslike, and never would have been countenanced by Callas. This whole thing is a fake and a phoney, carefully created by someone who wanted to hear Callas sing an F6. Outrageous.

This is an amazing conversation for me. I'm just now learning music but I have listened to La Divina Callas' recordings my whole life. For my better learning, to clarify for me: 1)what is the original key that this whole aria is written in? 2) And what did Maria actually sing for that last note, in real life, an E or an F?? This would help me so much as a student!

The original Mad Scene, at least Lucia's cavatina and cabaletta, is written in F major. The vast majority of sopranos sing it transposed a whole tone downwards, in Eb major, and it has been published in that key ever since, in an edition that Donizetti did not oversee*. There's a few more numbers that suffered that fate: Lucia's first cavatina (sung and published in D major, written in Eb major) and first cabaletta (sung and published in G major, written in Ab major), and the Enrico Lucia duet (sung and published in G major, written in A major). Also, keep in mind the ornate and high flute cadenza is a late addition that became tradition and was not originally present in the score. Long-story short, the usual edition of Lucia is a corrupt score and affects the lead character's music pretty heavily, all for the worse. *The French edition of the work, which he made himself, keeps the original keys: A major for the duet, F major for the mad scene, although, at the soprano's request, Lucia's, now Lucie's, first aria was changed to something completely different.

I can determine notes by absolute pitch and this definitely sounds like the key is in F - at least the final high note is an F6. I checked with a piano to see if perhaps somehow my hearing is off, but if I play an F6 note on the piano against the last note, (perhaps very very slightly flatter) it matches, and definitely doesn't match an E6.
