MARIA CALLAS 1958'LA TRAVIATA (sempre libera deggi'o)

[MikaRaph]

Ma la traviata non è di giuseppe verdi? O.o la didascalia dice che è di puccini o.o

[angelovocci]

Astounding. Precise runs, no scooping, such a focused tone, open throated, no false coloring with the tongue, all warmth from the heart, GENIUS ARTISTRY, musicianship, a thrilling fiery voice. This is the zenith within the Art. My G-d! Grabs the listener and soars with us taken up unexpectedly. The depth of interpretation married with such amazing bel canto technique, that it is invisible yet heard.

[ronkintan]

すごい声量。カラスすげぇ～

[MadameBorgi]

Gran Kraus, Gran Callas

[Aetion]

Nothing can be compared with the perfect. Besides, there is no need to compare continuously, although many times it is inevitable. Just enjoy!

[musicalguy93]

i don't the words to say something... unique... brilliant... unbelievable.

[arles1889]

divinamente incomparable.Te amo.

[Agwii]

Insuperable!!!. Ésto es ópera y no lo que se escucha ahora. Callas, La Divina!!!

[histeringg]

totalmente de acuerdo contigo, una voz mítica incomprendida por los críticos de su época, pero toda ella era arte

[quikepiaf]

¡Bellisima!

Callas, fabulosa...

[fyoung64]

Bella là di ogni comprensione! Brava!

[opera75frfr]

A part l'aigu final qui n'est pas facile, on est sur les sommest de 55 et 56. Une immense Traviata, et le jeune Kraus, quelle merveille!

[oPeRa1923]

Amazing! I can listen to her over and over and will not get tired of her! Brava la Callas!!!! S'agapo!

[JackSafferyRowe]

I love this aria and I love Callas so this is simply bliss.

Is the audio from the Pearl release or the EMI release of the Lisbon performance? because there are vast differences in quality.

[primaoperatino01]

@JackSafferyRowe

thanks!

this is the EMI release of the Lisbon performance.

[distefano13069609]

@primaoperatino01 Emi edited it and mixed it up with other performances

3:11

3:26

For instance...

[marcojosto]

Grandissima Callas! La più Grande di sempre.

[MrAndrewleeshawke]

prefer this to dramatic repertiore??? im pretty sure verdi coloratura such as this is almost as dramatic as it gets (for that voice type)

[kgarmaker123]

@MrAndrewleeshawke Totally agree! This is meant for a dramatic coloratura.. not some lilly livered, small voice.

[tranxuannghia]

Bravo high C !!

[bigdigger87]

I so prefer her at this time in her career. Anything after 1962 (at the latest) just did not sound as good. I so prefer her doing this rep more than her Dramatic Repertoire

[ferrobreads]

Hey ITAKER you reaches the idiocy you american arsehole!!!

[Openyourfridge]

Best Traviata Lisbnon 1958...Maria reaches the sublime with her voice of an Angel.....

[KissaMyEyes]

Definitive.

[tazkorinthos]

a voice of an angel....: |

[bustosaidee]

pitty theres an audio cut

[Loismustdie26]

Every time I venture out and listen to other people sing this aria I'll think I've found someone good, and then I come back and hear this and realize how wrong I was...

[canneloroeiacovuccio]

bellissimo il do di petto di kraus! e chi lo fa piu' un passaggio come questo?

[perla51]

Unique voice!!!!! The best !!!!! perla.

[spencevideosite]

Maria is the absolute best soprano, i have the CD of this performance. I have heard other soprano's do this aria, but, she is the best at everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lizdamyz]

this must be one of the only times she ever went flat in her life lol she has gone sharp plenty of times but i hadn't been able to find the recording of the Lisbon traviata's Sempre libera to hear where she went flat, i love her just the same! :-)

[RedbeardNC]

It's actually not flat per se, she has the E flat here but the vibrato is really slow there so you hear a lot more of the D.

[diuscorvus]

I think this is 1958 Lisbon. Great all the same. :)

[primaoperatino01]

sorry. Your indication is right. I did not notice my mistake written on the cover.

Thank you.
