Maria Callas-Franco Corelli-sing "in mia man alfin tu sei"

[Aetion]

Callas, Corelli, Ludwig, Zaccaria, Serafin; Five names, five legends!

Thanks for posting this.

I am open to all the Norma recordings that are available in the market. But I must say that none has the dramatic intensity in this recording, despite the fact that Callas wasn't vocally perfect. Her operatic art has transended all vocal criteria.

[georgerannie]

This recording was so heavily criticized when it came out. I have ALWAYS loved it finding Callas just wonderful. No she was not able to hit the high notes as in years before; however, there was so much depth to her singing of the role that I still find this recording to be sublime.

[RedrosessNL]

I would give a leg, to have then seen singing that.. i was born to late :) Best Norma ever.

[raigekimaru]

callas is the only soprano who can sing with a wicked, raspy chest register and sing legato at the same time. other sopranos either have terribly chest registers or "bark" the chest register without regard for the musical line

[Ariadne7710]

@raigekimaru You are right. The way she barks "Giura" is incredible. But the whole recording is amazing. I have it also (together with several other Callas Normas) but this is the one I listen to again and again. By far the best.

THE BEST!

[LibbySingsMezzo]

The two most passionate singers in all of opera - my speakers just ignited!

[MariaCallasLegend]

Just Listen to the passion and her Bellinian voice with the lion voice of Corelli!

[voicemad]

I listened to this Callas version so many times in 1989 when life seemd not so bright then. Callas with her incisive clear message kept my spirits high. Of course Corelli was the perfect complement to Callas

[petelovesbevsills]

I am sure that the nice Mr Bellini was on his knees when this recording finished! Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!

[rdsteyer]

Realmente, não houve ainda um casal que interpretasse Norme como Callas Corelli, são incomparáveis em cena e nas vozes parabens. Quem Viu viu quem não viu não verá jamais.....

[georgerannie]

BRAVA!!

[roddavids]

Indudablemente Callas ya no está en la plenitud de sus medios vocales, no obstante sigue siendo la mejor Norma; y Corelli es uno de los mejores Pollione hasta el día de hoy. Espectacular dirección de Serafin, sin duda alguna!

[FeelinMinnesota]

Corelli was the best Pollione to Callas' Norma. I wish they had recorded togther when she was still in her prime.

[Zva26]

Callas as Norma ---- operatic art can go no further than this!

[federic017]

Due dei più grandi interpreti della storia di Norma. Un saluto

[chengducat]

Mai piu!

[ksol1460]

They don't make'em like this any more!

[d3liriumtr3m3ns]

i've listened to the whole of this version of Norma hundreds of times... corelli and callas are incomparable

[corellithebest]

Wonderful! I have this entire recording, and it's an immeasurable treasure indeed! Franco and Maria indeed make a perfect couple as Pollione and Norma, Ludwig is a wonderful, rich-voiced, creamy Adalgisa, and Nicola Zaccaria an outstanding Oroveso! And yes, it's from 1960.

[simbabaco]

ambos fueron dos cantantes impresionantes... ¿para qué entrar en tecnicismos?

[stohundred]

So good that I don't have words. 100 times bravo!

[sebreathnach]

The best recording... and for her voice only...

[lilytoka]

Speechless and breathless!

Words can not describe this beauty!

[AOG93]

Callas- the best Norma. Almost the best everything!!

[scarlatti8]

Poderosa hasta el final!

[Aetion]

These moments of opera will not be repeated anymore. Thanks a lot, magghot. Do you know by any chance from which year is that, please? I guess late 50's.

[tehen162]

This is from 1960.

[Aetion]

Thank you.

[neronnenn]

La Callas di questo periodo ha la voce stanca e gioca troppo su suoni intervocalici, non ostante ciò resta la migliore Norma all times...:)

[doremicde]

che vuol dire intervocalici

[MAPIAKALLAS]

both of them are great here love it bravisimo

[frine1947]

Da brivido. Che emozione!!! Grazie Magghot

[Musikkristin]

Grandios - für immer
