Maria Callas - AIR DES CLOCHETTES (ou va la jeune indoue) - BELL SONG Lakme

[manaesfrk]

Impresionate Maria Callas sobre todo el finaal!!!!:)

[ancamg]

Purely fabulous! La Divina...

[ImmaculateRecovery]

she did this MUCH better, this was sung during her fall i think

[512gontran]

@ImmaculateRecovery No, it's a 1952 recording.

[jaina1992]

Worst version ever



[MrDajx]

Although this is good, Dessay's version is much better.

[Juliet0307]

She does not have the voice for that.Yes,she is a prodigious musician,but why did she sing arias not for her voice?That's for leggero-coloratura,and she is lyric.

[killerbunny123123]

@Juliet0307 Well,even Sutherland sang this and she is dramatic! Sumi jo, too ,another lyric....Edita gruberova, etc. I agree that only light-voiced sopranos fit it perfectly, such as Natalie Dessay, or Edita Gruberova's sweet and light timber, eventhough she is considered by many a dramatic soprano.But the tags on the role are not enough to stop adventurous sopranos to take on things not for them. Especially Maria, who according to experts had "a voice for everything"...until she lost it.

[Poetapersempre]

@Juliet0307 Infact She sang this aria,not the opera!

[zampettedainsetto]

L'ultima nota è un po' strozzata e le agilità non sono il suo forte, ma nel complesso non è una versione venuta molto male. Certo è che si può fare molto meglio di così.

The last note is a bit chocked and she's weak in the agilities, but after all this isn't a really bad version. Ceirtainly it isn't difficult to do better than this.

Sorry for my bad english :P

[gustopheles]

@zampettedainsetto I disagree that she lacked any agility. from the 4:52 mark, her chromatics are perfectly corrugated. And the final E natural is probably her best, outside of Armida.

[Poetapersempre]

@zampettedainsetto Ma se è precisa come uno strumento!!

[lginpdx]

Weak beginning, but not a terrible rendition. Not her best, however.

[74edelweiss74]

try to hear the version of Mado Robin. You wont regret it because she sing 100 time better then Maria Callas. Even She Maria Callas has Talent.

Mado Robin canta meglio e la sua vocce è pui bella di la suo della Callas.

Mado Robin chante encore mieux malgré le talent de la Callas.

Mado Robin singt viel besser und ihre Stimme ist unglaublich. Leider ist sie nicht so bekannt wie M. Callas.

[killerbunny123123]

@74edelweiss74 You mean she sings THIS ARIA better than Callas. Simply because she has a lighter voice, right? Because except of useless high notes, Mado had nothing else to compare to Callas, as I am sure you are aware.

[74edelweiss74]

@killerbunny123123

Maria Callas played better and were preatier than mado Robin but M. Robin had the most beautiful voice.

[killerbunny123123]

@74edelweiss74 Well, i don't desagree she certainly had a very sweet voice....But prettier or not is highly subgective.

[ubedajils]

PLUS QUAM BRAVISIMA

[sanneol7]

Obviously taste is so lacking in some.... Callas is Callas, for those that know music, nothing else need be said.

[dziady1]

If the name Callas wasn't attached to it - you would

throw it into the garbage - 3rd rate rendition

[andreea94a]

@dziady1 And I believe you can sing it better,since you make such a comment.
