No se puede hacer mejor.Gracias

[arliahoffman]

actually, this is the slowest version I've heard of this aria...

[MAPIAKALLAS]

i wish we had singer today that could sing a traviata like callas did so fearless and those great heigh notes bravisima.

[erginakif]

@MAPIAKALLAS We do. Her name is Feryal Turkoglu and nobody has heard of her, because she's from Turkey. Find her version on YouTube.

[ioSonoCallas]

@erginakif Feryal Turkoglu has a powerfull voice and she is a wonderful interpreter, but she doesn't reach the level and the greatness of Callas at this time!

[Kibouo]

I love that along with the thick, soaring high notes, she also revels in the low stuff, almost like a contralto - I'm not surprised she was classed as a contralto in the early stages of her singing career, even if it wasn't entirely accurate in the end.

[vernadakieleni]

Ok,since nobody dares to tell the truth,i will.If such a terrible performance took place today in Milan'Scala by SOME OTHER UNKNOWN SOPRANO the crowd would boo her loud and clear AND I WOUL NOT BLAME THEM. The conductor's perception and Callas' disharmony here are UNBEARABLE. That certain production was an insault to Verdi.

[Bhavatam]

@vernadakieleni Shut up, please. taisez-vous, s'il vous plait.

[zehnthaus]

@vernadakieleni Truth? Should your vision come true, and "some other unknown soprano", looking like Callas, acting like Callas and singing like Callas, wearing Lila de Nobili's costumes in de Nobili's incredible settings, would perform Traviata, each and everyone of us would be more than pleased to have the privilege to be there.

[CumpariSparacino]

@vernadakieleni You need to get the wax out of your ears!

[charisaob]

@vernadakieleni Maria Callas had a huge voice, very penetrating, the machines back then cound;t take her whole voice and make her sound like she was horrible. Even in her studio recordings you can hear in some parts that the mic hit red!

I know as a musician and an opera singer that when i sing with a low quality mic it makes my voice , in the loud parts, horrible and unstable.

Drinking Song, Violetta Villas

BRAVISSIMA!!!

[numetutelare]

Se avesse avuto a disposizione le tecniche di oggi avremmo avuto delle registrazione perfette anche se a lei le "manopole pompate" in studio e gli aggiustamenti orchestrali fatti per molti soprano non sarebbero serviti!!! La sua voce la si sentiva davvero in TUTTO il teatro...come si dice in gergo, CORREVA anche grazie alla perfetta emissione.

[jm2010jm1]

grand bello,bravisimo

[TheCaroleBeer]

Who conducted this ? Isn't it a bit too fast? I have the feeling La Callas is in a hurry and not perfectly together with the orchestra, which she usually is in an uncomparable way!

[ioSonoCallas]

@TheCaroleBeer Carlo-Maria Giulini! The sound track is very bad, but I agree with you.

[Miniero666]

@TheCaroleBeer Carlo Maria Giulini was the director. Callas is unique but Traviata wasn't for her

[ferrykalos]

@Miniero666 Oh...please!

[pump066]

@Miniero666 Too bad if Traviata wasn't for her, since Callas IMO was one of the best Violettas in recorded history.

Why I think that? She was all three acts-Violetta wich is not the case with most of the sopranos who usually sing or

sang this veeery taxiing role.

[Bhavatam]

@Miniero666 rubbish

[fanchette122]

une des plus belles interprétations du rôle de Violetta de la Traivaitta

Efkaristo Maria

[madmolusco]

Qui c'e da dire solo le parole di Meneghinni. "TU SEI, LA CALLAS". Avremmo la possibilita di vedere dal vivo qualcosa di simile?

[pump066]

@madmolusco Nella vita nostra? NO! Forse mai piu.

[infrantasi]

@madmolusco purtroppo, no. Magari.

[MAPIAKALLAS]

well Iosonocallas im glad someone else knows about Callas as much as i do its great but callas die already

[ioSonoCallas]

@MAPIAKALLAS Of course she died but she's always alive in us and will be immortal for ever!

[Jeanne90275]

@ioSonoCallas Of course she's dead, but how could

we ever forget someone who transformed opera and

breathed such life into it.

[cogitoergoboh]

si sentono in sottofondo (4.30 ) voci ,non capisco dissentono ? prezzolati per creare disordine contro la callas ?

[xafnndapp]

@cogitoergoboh probabile...



[illaka]

magnifica... una voce che é LA VOCE

[kgarmaker123]

She is singing very solid and very steady.

[saverioorlando]

Questa era la Callas in una repkica fra le tante,dava tutto,era proprio Violetta che con agilità temerarie e voce argentina viveva la sua follia.

[magghot]

anche dall'immagine del video si nota come questo genio di donna sapesse diventare Violetta..lei non la cantava..lei era Viloetta,Norma, e tutte le altre..sublime...

[youfeda]

sembra stanca ma è meravigliosa ancor di più

[smattingly]

oh my god! sitting in the morning sun with goose bumps!

[annmar123]

Bellisimo! Grazie!!!!!!!!

[mdfiras]

:))

[nicevidbro]

Oh God! Another surprise again. I dont know where you get these things, but im glad. Love Callas.

[ioSonoCallas]

Nothing more easy for me, because i'm Callas! ;-)

[MAPIAKALLAS]

@ioSonoCallas If you are callas tell us what happen to you in New york when you were 7 years old in the street.....

[ioSonoCallas]

@MAPIAKALLAS I was knocked down by a car which dragged me several meters, it was in July, 1928, I had in this time 4 years old not 7! ;-)
