@gustopheles You're welcome ^^. Callas was right, the trills(or Triollets in italian) are really hard to execute perfectly... Specially the ones in this aria, it's always cruel sing Mozart hehehe. It's like he wrotes the arias to be done by a piano and sudenly makes singers do it! =P Althought he's my favorite composer.
SOOOOOOOOOO wish there was a recording of Callas singing this!

"I must correct a lot because you can absorb a lot" (or similar words) Great singer, great teacher.
I love this clip. It shows Callas in a whole new perspective.
Thank you for sharing this!

I'm getting chills listening to Callas teach this. This the ultimate soprano aria and she is the ultimate diva.

Syble Young is fabulous, just needs a bit of refinement here. Why didn't she become a big name?

Callas taught this piece but I can't find any recording by her performing this. (The youtube video is not Callas, it's Lucia Popp)

That's one heavy looking laptop. No wonder those didn't catch on before 1990s.

Her voice is maybe the most characteristic ive heard.....even when she's merely speaking! Great artist.

What does Callas say at the 15:57 mark? "The *blank* is murder." What is the word?
