The hight notes are a bit forced but Bellini suits her so wonderfully!!! I prefer the NY version.

This is gret, and I also echo the sentiments re: Caballe. SHe was not a fan of mine, UNTIL I heard her sing this...Paris 1966..OMG

BRAVA LA DIVINA - The Great Callas in the glory of her short lived great voice. Thank you.

Wonderful performance! She is in much better voice here that in the televised concert from Hamburg where she was suffering from a cold. Love how she takes the high note at the end.

what an experience to hear Callas singing her favorite composer, V Bellini, the Noblest, most Melodical most Sensitive of all composers.

She's singing with divine inspiration.

Makes it sound so simple.
