Nothing higher !

[muscle1over]

Of all her Normas, this is the greatest performance - all is in equilibrium here - voice, drama, musicality, etc.; plus the supporting cast is ideal. Perfetto!

Forse una delle più belle esecuzioni di sempre con Callas insuperabile Norma e Del Monaco splendido Pollione...saluti

@federic017 Non era una delle piu belle. Era veramente LA PIU BELLA ESECUZIONE. L'ho vista quando studiavo in Italia e posso dire che tutta l'esecuzione era indimenticabile e meravigliosa. La Callas era grandissima ma anche tutti gli altri, Del Monaco, Simionato e Zaccaria, erano perfetti. Per me era una delle piu belle serate della mia vita. Ho visto tante altre esecuzioni di Norma ma nessuna era cosi meravigliosa, cosi perfetta!!

@ Cuoredeinidi - perfectly expressed, I agree with every word you wrote !

[gomongio]

Oh my...! The last scene of this video is from a Callas's live performance??

[CarloQuinto]

INCREDIBLE! THE GREATEST DIVA EVER! LISTEN TO THE WAY SHE SINGS THE WORD "PENSA" with Callas you don't just remember characters and aria's, you remember words. Thank you for such a wonderful presentation! Breathtaking!

I LOVE the version !

The only version that I know where you can hear Oroveso (Zaccaria) crying at the end upon loosing his daughter

[kgarmaker123]

This Norma is THE NORMA, better than any of the others, including Sutherland.. It has real pathos.. she is really portraying a character ... unlike Sutherland.

The best Norma ever !!!
