  • I really like this...really like it!!

  • She is considered the BEST singer of ALL time people.Just keep it.

  • Maria Callas die beste Operndiva die es je gab. Super.

  • how can someone dislike this... the ballantine's commercial chose the right one to "Leave the impression" i can feel the music spreading from my chest to my whole body as a beautiful drug to my soul....it's breath taking.. pure perfection.

  • I'm not an opera expert. I love Beethoven and Mozart and most baroque music. I've heard the versions of this by Fernandez (from Diva) and also Tebaldi's. Their versions are superb. But this is on a completely different level. It is so emotive and nuanced. In short, can't be beat. En somme, impossible de faire mieux.

  • @ buzzbox2nd This is pure romantic.

    Wally, decides to leave her home and never to come back because her father wants her to marry Gellner, who she doesn't love.

    She sings

    Ebben! Ne andrò lontana that is Ah well then! I shall go far away

  • <3<3<3

    

  • This is simply magnificent.

  • Absolutely brilliant !!!

  • ive no idea what this lady is singing about but i am crying my eyes out to this, if only the rest of the world was half as good as this .

  • Sie war einmalig!

  • We will never have music at this scale again...

  • amazing

  • Callas? Caballe? Callas? Caballe? Callas? Caballe?

    Let's settle this once and for all - Tebaldi!

  • traumhaft schön.

  • Das schönste, was jemals gesungen wurde!

  • ΑΠΛΑ ΔΕΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΛΟΓΙΑ ΝΑ ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΨΟΥΝ ΚΑΤΙ ΤΟΣΟ ΑΓΓΕΛΙΚΟ!!!

  • I think Arta Florescu's rendition of Ebben is youtube's best hidden gem! She was Angela Gheorghiu's teacher but the two never got along too well because Angela didn't like her pedagogical methods.

  • listening... and in tears....pure and soul caressing

  • bravo

    

  • Sublime.

  • rien de plus beau!!!!!

  • What a superb sensitive voice! This beautiful song was sung with so much "feeling".

    Maria Callas is a legend!

    Harry E W Smith, E.D., A.D>M.

  • only totally uncivilized, utterly culture and tasteless simpletons can even come up with the heart and soulless idea of categorizing all this great artists in better or not as good categories - you guys are cancer to art without haveing even a shard of idea what you are about to destroy. Go die in a fire.

  • performed perfectly....divinely...the voice of the century...love you Maria

  • Sure Tebaldi sings it beautifully, so does Montserrat and Wilhemina who made it movie famous. Callas gives me chills, and that's interpretative artistry.

  • Saluti Walter! Viva la Callas, la musica e la rugby!

  • This song and this singer break my heart. "I have immortal longings..."

  • pure awesomness :)

    what happend to music ???

  • I;m not one of those Callas fanatics, and I don't think she does a better job than others when it comes to Puccini arias. BUT, THIS is the definitive version of this song, in my opinion. Gorgeous :)

  • Many beautiful versions of this aria on youtube, however THIS is the best and the way it should be sung! Such passion and perfect interpretation. She imbues each word with meaning and color. She was and will always be the greatest diva.

  • perfection...just perfection!!!!

  • Not the most beautiful voice by any means but simply the GREATEST opera singer of all time

  • @TheVaughan5 not the most beautiful but the only one that is worthy to listen to

  • This is much better than justin beaber.

  • Almost cry when she says "là, fra la neve bianca,".

  • @zedekar80 she is the only one that makes you cry by just listening a cd....!!!!

  • @zedekar80 she makes you cry just by listening to a CD...she is so perfect!!!

  • This is the piece which is used for the Ice Pilots advert. It is faultless, beautiful, and emotionally gut-wrenching. It can be found on a double CD by Callas called 'Diva The Ultimate Collection' and has most of her greatest arias in it. Enjoy!

  • I've listened to numerous versions of this aria and can really say that Callas takes them all. Noble sound, noble tune, noble breath, noble intonations, noble transformation. La Divina.

  • So...I wish people would just talk about the music....and not insult each other or their families via youtube comments....It is really not what this is for....just saying...anyway moving on....

    I am not a huge Callas fan but for me it really depends on what she is singing.I can go either way, but that is just my opinion.

  • @starriezze your opinion sucks then. Shes the only singer that brought this much realness and emotion to the songs, from the very first note she grabs the listener and doesnt let go. Noone ells does that for me.

    And what power and ease she has even through the most dificult ornamentations.

  • There is a quality to Callas' voice that is so moving and touching... This voice is so beautiful to my ears and my heart HEARS it... pure magic!

  • This question may have already been answered, but could someone tell me in what year this was recorded and in which La Wally/Callas anthology cd it can be found.  Thanks!

  • @s0ondae I have the 2CD 'Diva The Ultimate Collection' This is track 12 on CD1. The date in the info booklet has the date 1955 next to the name of the track. The double CD was produced in 1996, and I imagine is still available. I get most of my music from either HMV or Play online. Hope this helps.

  • @s0ondae 'Diva The Ultimate Collection' Track 12 CD1 - recorded in 1955. Enjoy!

  • hearing that voice how can you be mean? like her or not, guys, how can you be mean? you are offensing her memory and her effect and for those that like her, it's worst!

  • hearing that voice how can you be mean?

  • Mettez vos écouteurs, callez-vous dans votre fauteuil et laissez couler vos larmes...

  • Immer wieder schön zu hören

  • @Giovannifabuloso you are an idiot with no taste for music

  • @Giovannifabuloso you are an idiot with no taste for music, spoco woumo

  • @Giovannifabuloso you are an idiot. This is opera at its finest. Callas willed herself to death after Onassis left her for Jackie O. She embodied her lifes' will into this aria. You obviously have no taste in music. Fucking Italians these days...

  • Comment removed

  • @Giovannifabuloso ha ha, another Callas hater, good luck dude hating the best singer of the last century!

  • Comment removed

  • @HerbertVonKarajan1 There are only 2-3 people that hate Callas. They are a couple of German guys supposedly from the Dusseldorf area. No one else hates Callas, only these 2-3 cock-suckers, no one else!! It looks like more, but it's not. They are the FILAREDO cock-sucking group. They don't mind if you call them cock-suckers, because they are.

  • Comment removed

  • @hammer55292 ...just because someone doesnt agree with you doesnt make them cocksuckers. I love Maria Callas, but thats just my personal opion....like assholes, sir, we all have them.

  • @kajunteddy You obviously are not aware of what has been going on here for 2 years, non-stop, 24/7. A group of Callas-Haters, possibly 2-3, supposedly from Dusseldorf, Germany, have been FILTH-BASHING Callas. I don't care if someone does not like Callas that is their business. When someone calls her a wet, hairy cunt, black hairy whore , etc, etc, then I make the judgement call that they need to be retaliated against . That is my call, and that is what I do. They deserve whatever language I use

  • @kajunteddy i agree they are asslicking cocksuckers!

    She was very smart, she brought back music that had been dead for 200-100 years, she did stuff no other singer could do and she deserves respect. Its because of her that many things are een possible for todays opera singers.

  • @Giovannifabuloso Learn tecnhic and then speak...A-W-F-UL...Maria = LA DIVINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • omg....i cant explain how i feel when i listenin this.....

  • Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mostly beautiful, but strained to shrieking at 4:25, so an example both of Callas's interpretive greatness and instrument that couldn't deliver the high notes.

  • @Julianchen16 I was going to reply seriously to you, but then I saw you have a Justin Bieber video in your favorite videos and I got probably you could never understand Maria's greatness.

  • @3F93

    sorry guy, but you're an Itaker ... say's it all .... Noob!!! Maria's greatness is her ugly voice 

  • @Nougatpralinchen lol So you are racist and judge me for my being italian? So pathetic.

    Ugly timbre, maybe, but not ugly voice. A voice with three octaves full supported (Fa#3-E6), able to sing from Lakmé to Turandot giving different and innovative tones to every character can't be ugly. You haven't got to like her, but her singing changed the history of opera (so that they talk of pre-Callas and post-Callas).

  • @Neanderthalgirl Only those who do not know the first thing about how opera should be performed are dsimissive of Maria Callas. Despite the flaws in her voice when under pressure there is a commitment unmatched by any other singer. Toscannini and Visconti thought she was probably the finest soprano ever, you can't get better recommendation than that!!

  • heard this live in frankfurt some hours ago !

    BREATHTAKING !!!!!!

  • love this so much

  • message from heaven, sung by an angel

    merry xmas everyone

  • @hammer55292 because this was actually her life and her death

  • ein traum...

    amazing...

  • I think Maria Callas is the wolds best!!!

    You are and will ever be the one who makes me feel alive.

    Thank You for your wonderful voice.

  • nessuna come lei... (lo stesso à te, Ange)

  • @belmanotre Do you honestly think that some of us don't see your psychological " PROJECTION " ? You might be fooling some of the people on here, because most of them are nice people. I, on the other hand am not nice, and have your psychological number. You are calling people what you are!! WOMAN, GAY OR SOPPY FREAK. Which one, or more, are you????? LMAO!! You poor, sick dude.

  • is it the song in the film philadelfia?

  • @vahisern HA!HA!HAH! I'm about 6000 miiles from Russia!! You are such an idiot. I " SPAM " you to death every day. All Callas fans should " SPAM " your ugly face to death every minute, of every day, death to your Germanic soul.

  • Comment removed

  • Sometimes, but rarely, singers becomes musicians expressing themselves through the medium of the voice. Even more rarely, the soul penetrates through this again.. and this is called Callas.

  • divina maria

  • @hammer55292

    wouw .... not bad for an idiot!!!

  • @Elisabetha611 Your tricks didn't work, did they????? Callas rules, she is the greatest soprano. Netrebko will never equal La Divina!! Your MOTHER is a whore.

  • @OperaCritics I'm gonna fuck all of your dirty MOTHERS and all of your SISTERS!! Yes, I'm gonna pound their asses!!!

  • @hammer55292

    OK, but still you continue being a russian dirty sow!!

  • @OperaCritics Death to your rich, dirty, industrialist MOTHER'S cunt.

  • @OperaCritics If the Netrebko fans don't join in the fight against the Filaredos, I'm gonna start bashing Anna agaian.

  • Maria Callas- " The Greatest Soprano Of All time ", the BBC, 2007. The BBC didn't have to assemble a panel of the world's opera experts to tell us this. I mow grass, and cut firewood, and could have told ya'.

  • to me it comes down to caballe and callas...caballe more sweet and callas more dramatic...i wish singers today were more like them

  • unbeatable

  • comparing Callas with tebaldi is like comparing Christian Dior with Tommy Hilfiger. There is no comparison

  • @panos1123581321

    no comparison for you!

    All experts are sure .... Tebaldi RULES!!!

  • @vandrops My dears ! -- still fighting ? -- when you know perfectly well that IT IS ALL GOOD ! Old techniques or not, - let's be thankful for the joy of hearing these artists.

  • @The1620 Haleluja!

    you're damned right

  • Callas was just the best soprano. She is amazing!

  • .@panos1123581321

    The right SENTENCE is:

    Callas was just the best soprano FOR ME. She is amazing!

    The truth is:

    She was the best opera actress but she sounds like a music clock from the 20s. She's really the 'greatest screamer' and caws like a monkey!!

  • Perfect nobody like Maria Callas, she was, it's and will be the perfect example of should be a Soprano a true true soprano

  • @eaunansme

    OMG are you sick!

  • @ferricskin

    He isnt but you must be for saying that,

    dood dont you realise microphone tech in them days sucked and so did the way they recorded.

    If this woman was around today she would blow the rest out of the water.

    Im not a fan and ive listened to them all the past hour and ive never hered of any of them untill tonight,

    This woman is the best out of them all.

    Just a shame they didnt have good microphones in them days.

    But your to blind to see that fact

  • che grande anima in questa grande Voce!

  • OMG dear Callas fans

    have you seen the idiotic comment from Hammer with !!!!! 26 thumbs up !!!!!!!

    Is there any user who has notion from opera? I think no!

    Callas never sang LaWally ... only the aria 'Ebben?Ne Andro Lontana'.

    WHAT A SHAME for all so-called Callas connoisseurs!!!!

  • @ferricheart Hey, no one cares about your connoisseurship!! Just tip your butt-cheeks out the door, and don't let the swinging door hit your ass! We are all dumping on you, in droves!!!! You're the blow-up doll at a frat party, of Youtube!! LMAO!! Gandy, with no trousers. The mini-terrier, that has no weiner!! LMAO!! You are now becoming the joke of Youtube!! LMAO!!! Carry on little Gandy!!!

  • @hammer55292

    She never sang LaWally .... you 'opera expert'! :-)))))

    Opera is a closed book for you LADY! You better lick cunts .. or neither you can do this?

  • @ferricheart Your " SPAM DEATH " is looming on the horizon. You have no escape. The jaws of Hammer the Kodiak Beast are closing on your neck. Your spine will be symbolically crushed in a very short time. Your death is imminent.

  • Que sentimiento!!! Grande la Callas!!!!

  • La Callas in questa aria è insuperabile perchè canta con tanto cuore e in modo meraviglioso Walter.

  • @macciboma Tuta la razone ragazina¡¡

  • 1.42 -1.48 is sampled remixed on TrueBlood s02e05 music ost when Sookie chases Barry down the hall

  • Oh my god! Callas transmits her pain and dispair directly into my veins - always get a lump in my throat listening to this piece. Amazing work of art - it has got nothing to do with voice quality or technique, it is pure magic and art. Either you feel it or not!

  • This is an exclusive sale site of Hammer and Bella,

    so low class next to Callas.

    What a pity.

  • Say all you want.

    She is the greatest of all times.

    If you cannot see that, you are sadly lacking musical artistry.

  • @Ellevius

    Can no-one see that she is the worst screecher of all opera singers. She breathes on her chest and doesn't use her diaphragm. She really isn't as good as everybody thinks, she has the typical western opera voice rather than the mellow Italian voice. I'm surprised her voice didn't run out sooner because of the way she sings on her throat, you can just hear the strain. Anyone who has been taught correctly will tell you this.

  • @ferricheart Say what you like. Opera is not really about voice so much as rather about what the voice transcends into. Maria Callas is the greatest. You will never understand, so I will stop now.

  • @Ellevius

    I accept your withdrawal, but you skew the truth!

    And whichever way you look at it, she is only an actor with mediocre voice!

  • @ferricheart well, you can say about her voice whatever you want, you may like it or not, but her technique, her vocal abilities were unique. There's no other singer who does or did all the coloraturas, jumps and anything so easily like she did.

  • @BimmelBimmel

    jajajaja .... but easily?????

    She pressed out the tones like a bagpipe if she sang a high tone!!!

  • This is a problem site.

  • @Ellevius Help me SPAM them out. Neander, Bella, Belman, they are all part of the Filearedo group. Just SPAM every comment they post.

  • ebben

  • Look for this video on YouTube

    Maria Callas - La mamma morta - Andrea Chenier. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

  • Oh, people, take a chill pill, will ya? Listen to a singer with your heart and realize that everyone likes/dislikes certain singers for a myriad of reasons. This woman's voice was flawed, but she sang from her soul, and I like that. Others may not. She is definitely a legend; there are many and I don't think they can be compared because each is unique. If you don't like Callas, listen to Sills, Sutherland, Tebaldi, Freni, Fleming, Caballe, Price, Te Kanawa - you'll find the one you love.
