  • (!!!)

  • FANTASTICA!

  • OK! The diversity in this version makes it SO MUCH better than any I've heard! I'm not even talking about Madam Callas!

    Thank you for posting!

  • Un ascolto raro e veramente impressionante! La Callas come interprete di Gluck è veramente un modello ineguagliabile... ma di tutto il melodramma della fine del '700... Medea è un esempio eclatante!

  • Wonderful!

  • Un calore di fiamma lontana

  • Le parole del recitativo che segue l'aria sono:

    "Uditemi, fermate ... Ah! troppo o Numi, siete pronti a'miei Voti. Il caso mio è degno di pietà. Soffrite almeno che una moglie, una madre dal consorte, da' figli abbia un amplesso; Prenda l'ultimo addio"

  • That prompter with his quacking voice spoils nearly every old live recording from La Scala. It's the same with Cluytens' Parsifal. You can only hear his "whispering".

  • Impressionante! E' la più grande soprano di tutti i tempi, il suo canto non ammette paragoni con nessuno!

  • Mamma mia !!!

    Incredibile !

  • ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!

    So much better from the later french version!

    Here her high Bs are solid as rocks!

    And her interpretation is full with pathos and charme.

    Maria...Maria...

  • Brava, Callas.

    I know that Kirsten Flagstad performed and recorded Alceste. Does anyone have any clips from her performance?

  • I have the whole recording in Italian (3 CDs 1956). Flagstad is impressive, but her pronunciation of italian language is not good.

  • @ArcanaMundi81 : There's a Met broadcast in 1952 where Flagstad sings Alceste in an English version. She's absolutely stupendous.
