That's 10 beats on the Aida e-flat (you can hear Kurt Baum going into apoplexy! Asshole, he deserved that one, and apologized later to Callas for his arrogance in holding onto top notes in other performances). This is a good page to email people who say to me "She's very dramatic but I hate her top voice". Think again my little chickadee.
thank you very much :) i've actually just discovered her incredible trovatores - there is so much material available, i haven't heard nearly enough of it. Part two is in development :) and thank you for the recommendations - i'll listen to them all!
great compilation! i love your choices. you should make a part 2 with other thrilling moments. :) personally i think the norma act 1 finale (1952 probably), the 1952 mexico interpolation in 'o vien al tempio,' moments from the 1949 nabucco, the trapeze high A at the end of 'addio del passato' (in 1958), the 1953 medea climax, and the 1950 and 1951 trovatores are other great, thrilling moments. :D
yes yes yes yes yes. that's my vote
