Madame Butterfly - Maria Callas

[SanguineGhost]

after hearing things like this I could DIE happy & fulfilled without needing anything else! *.*

[AtlasShrugged2005]

Sounds like all her recordings like she is singing through her beak. Her acting may have been impressive, but her voice is always unpleasant.

[MrGoldenchas]

@AtlasShrugged2005 You obviously are unaware of her ability to use that voice to interpret and act. As such she is unsurpassed.

[AtlasShrugged2005]

@MrGoldenchas - it's still an ugly sounding voice regardless of her acting ability

[vincoff1]

@AtlasShrugged2005 I smell a huge bieber fan here. Your postings sound like you're talking like through your a**hole. Go away, lost soul.

[navydoll]

@vincoff1 is a "bieber" a beaver that has lost it's virginity?

[WujekAlucard]

Weak mind is already dead at start of existance .

[Stoh13]

Don't cry for me, i'm already dead..

[MrBentley222]

I have been looking for this for the longest!!! VERY beautiful....

[zucchini2007]

WOW!!! Such tonal crystal clarity, such vocal power! And she was such a beautiful woman too! Beyonce's got nothing on her.

[tforeman0]

This aria is really beautifully sung and you can hear both Callas's artistry in her interpretation as she sings but also the clarity and quality of her voice. This must be among the best performances of this aria I have heard. Thank you for putting it up.

Divina. Si me preguntan por la definición de la palabra "pasión", daría esta aria como respuesta

[MrXipu]

darle a "no me gusta" en este vídeo debería ser delito. Supongo que querían escribir Daddy Yankee y escribieron Maria Callas por error... no hay otra explicación...

Un saludo a todos.

[goldengal1989]

Incredible!

[jagusia691]

Cudowna Maria Callas - Wielka Diva Opery Światowej - dziękuję pięknie!!

[dvdali]

Listening to this marvelous voice on this would-have-been her 88th birthday still sent chills down my spine.

This is great music to chop up bodies to

[33138anny]

She is THE ONE, THE VOICE

[drpediatracamacho]

There is only one voice, and this voice is Maria Callas.

[33MrCooldude]

what a beautiful song 

[cantabrian1000]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[AleLibRiv]

Love her

[condorcito99]

¡Dios mio .... tremenda mujer y voz! Envidio a aquellos que asistieron a sus conceritos, audiciones y ensayos. Starladear tienes mucha razón, un cd de Pucini me prondá un poquito mas cerca a ella. Mil gracias por publicar este bello video.

[christallyn]

very intense.

[autogyro100]

not perfect / still unique !!

[mrmeanmachine1971]

most likely the best song ive ever heard her sing such a rich voice with feeling one of all time best with Monserrat Caballe

[skylilly1]

I'm melting!



[philipposathina]

Maria, the last greek Godess.. Maria, die letzte griechishe Goetiin/... Maria, l' ultima dea grecha! Maria h teleftaia ellinida thea!

[versatile23able]

η μεγαλύτερη, η πιο συγκινητική φωνή όλων των εποχών...να πως λοιπον μπορεί ένας άνθρωπος να αγαπάει εναν άλλον χωρις καν να τον ξερει...

[tarafor09]

Tarda en cargarse,pero vale la pena...

[samsarahmail]

Miss Callas, what an angel you were. Sublime voice!

[pieldorada04]

la mejor............



[piernas3]

increíble... espiritual...

[piernas3]

[patty860515]

excelente soprano.....

[josubigodera]

A maior de todos os tempos.

[ciciiiish]

I hate the heartless navy!

[bigjoetube]

Two sets of sopranos on Earth.Callas and everybody else.

[MERCEEIROIBERICO]

@bigjoetube UMA VOZ ASSIM...TEM UM CORAÇÃO DE PORCELANA!

[sermossman]

@bigjoetube like like like like like

[fairman1952]

@bigjoetube And I thought Kiri was good. This one melts my heart.

[GoldZahava]

@bigjoetube She was a MEZZO SOPRANO, btw.

[bigjoetube]

@GoldZahava Are you kidding? She is the greatest SOPRANO ever

[Kibalcic23]

@bigjoetube VIVA MARIA!! LA PIU' GRANCE SOPRANO DI TUTTI I TEMPI

[LiLMedusaBitch]

@GoldZahava Actually Cho Cho San character is a soprano,and by the way it's obvious she was a soprano,if you hear the notes she hit.

[DanBarthy]

@GoldZahava Sorry, but Maria Callas never was Mezzo. Mezzo dont sing: Norma, Medea, Amina, Gioconda, Violetta, Madama Butterfly, Imogene, Tosca, Lucia de Lammermoor... etc.

You are wrong. She was Soprano Sfogato = unlimited soprano.

[autaexeiizoi]

All Greeks are great

[GAIASDREAMER]

Such an incredibly beautiful voice and lady. Her voice always makes me cry with emotion when I hear her sing this.

[RockinPunk24]

Her voice is so deep,thoughtful,haunting but pleasant and sad all at the same time.Even if u dont understand it the feeling is wonderful

[starladear002]

@RockinPunk24 That is the magic of Opera. No need to understand the words, the music and singing are very powerful you just get swept away.

[borres88]

@starladear002 Es qué me tiene temblando... Qué forma de interpretar, de vivir la analogía de la letra...

[starladear002]

@borres88 Would you mind translating this? I don't speak Spanish. Thanks.

[borres88]

@starladear002 Ok.. It's what has me shaking ... How to interpret, to live the analogy of the letter ...

[starladear002]

@borres88 Now then. Instead of listening to Miss Callas via really bad computer speakers, buy the music CD, along with Puccini's La Bheme both with Maria Callas. Play them on a first rate system. You absolutely will not believe the sound, the depth.

[LastStand2010]

This song is so beautiful... it's really beyond words. It tugs at my heart. I'm a big fan of hardcore Hip Hop and power metal, but you've gotta respect the classics. I am deeply in love with this song.

[brieapplebanana]

@itzaramaja For the most part i agree, however i do believe your chioce of example is incorrect. Gaga is creating a unique label fopr herself. party girl ke$ha just seems so much more apropriate..

[GrapeLola]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. In my next life, I'd like to have a voice like this.

[taffywindsor1]

My favorite song of all time-

[mstrslk]

@Sunshine1986Girl is bellisima la voz de maria callas, hace estremecer el corazon

[smilesqueen]

Barney Gumble

[Fragdoll101]

@smilesqueen My thoughts exactly.

[wiguy3]

her career was much too short.....she did teach later but performing became too difficult. I only wish I had seen her in her prime. thank god for this venue so young people can appreciate real art.

[NatK1981]

Seeing arguments about Callas' voice quality IS Maria Callas. Who else can cause such controversy other than the diva of all divas? Timeless and immortal...Maria Callas.

[444nice]

"Beautiful" is a word that describes something lesser....there are no words to describe this masterpiece.

[fablito1986]

which part of "madama butterfly" is this?!?

[DaGifKreator]

@fablito1986 the end of the first part (un bel di vedremo)

[PapaB17]

she simply is the best of all times...



[jorgenyc5]

Brava..,Brava, I grew up listening to Maria Callas and to this day I wake up in the mornings and play her CD's and her voice fills my soul and inspires my day!!

Long Live the Passion of Callas!!

[andyprovo]

Bella bella

[AntiRacismAndHateCom]

Her voice is just so amazing. I only wish more people could appreciate this.

[hanaryukoku]

There were points where I had to turn the volume down because her voice was so crisp and powerful I thought it was going to cut through my laptop screen. So much love for those who can sing opera! beautiful.

[noordereind19]

Best ever, never to be surpassed!

[moricettte]

@Elisabetha611

i wouldnt say she is bad, but she isnt that good, ure absolutly right :)

[PurpleMaster958Two]

Gorgeous!



[Fabiotjo]

Gergous! simplement GRANDE

[CyprusHot]

DIVA!

[robertoeleei]

maria callas la grande

[DeChilelindo]

My Maria...for ever ever...I love you!!!!

[WillShakespeare2007]

Please can someone recommend the best film version of this with subtitles thank you

[TheYaom]

@Elisabetha611 the rest of the world disagrees with you!

let me guess..... you must an opera student or something?

[hakanulubay]

Soz bitti...

[Thraikios]

I can't help but feel that somehow her life parallels Mme. Butterfly's..

[opera328]

very beautiful .i can relate to her im also a soprano. so precious of a voice wish she was still here. love u always maria callas youll be in our hearts forever!!!!! never forgotten.

[cowboyfimbop]

Mr. Plow

[kenavo2103]

Elle était unique! Tout est dans sa voix, elle savait exprimer les émotions les plus violentes et les plus douces. Les yeux fermés, sans avoir jamais lu le livret, on savait ce qu'elle exprimait! Magnifique! UNIQUE! Les sopranos d'aujourd'hui sont bien fades....

[webutterbreadwith]

Is she Aphrodite?

[lorddio99]

Perfection.

[stephaniehershaw]

LOVEE MARIA CALLAS! Best soprano of all time! :) Listen to me singing an opera at 14 years old! xxx

[Lirico96]

Divinissima

[aline73779133]

Merci!!! Inégalée jusque là!!! Une voix bien particulière et une actrice tragique..

[aline73779133]

Merci!!! Inégalée jusque là!!!

[PureSoapCleans]

There was once Maria Callas, and that was it.

There are many good singers, a few remarkable singer, but there will never ever be another Maria Callas!

[Kodiackiller]

@PureSoapCleans

right, she's the same wonderful screamer like Celine Dion. They could be twins in the way they act, sing and look.

Maria and Celine on stage in Las Vegas or like bondage-girls on porn-sites. I think, Achmed the dead terrorist is a reincarnation of Callas. ;-)

[kronak77]

ÚNICA, DIVINA...MARIA...

[bergami2398]

La Divina....

[scrambledpenis]

this song is making me cry like a girl!

[The4EM4]

@scrambledpenis

:-D wow! i cant belive, that someone who is called: !scrambledpenis! , love that kind of music! ! ! ! :-D

I LIKE!

[scrambledpenis]

@The4EM4 why not? the music is searingly beautiful!

[BecNoirRocknRollStar]

@scrambledpenis girls don't cry they leak power oversupply.

[christallyn]

@scrambledpenis Me too... Oh! But I am a girl! |o|

[freeqwerqwer]

Through her singing voice Maria Callas exemplifies a rich lost era. Even a non-operatic person like myself can feel the artistic pull of her magical voice.

[TheMandrino]

@Elisabetha611 I don't know how it is possinle that Maria with so many technical imperfections, according to you, could sing so beautifully. Maybe you should hear her voice and appreciaty her art.

[TheMandrino]

The tone of her voice is simply exquisite.

[CHARRASKEADO]

Pasaran siglos y sigols y no habrá nadie que interprete con esa garra, con ese dramatismo, con esa fuerza ,con esa presencia y sobretodo con esa voz fuera de serie.

Maria callas seguira siendo un antes y un despues en la musica...siempre

[Elreypeshosho]

Que bella interpretación. Una Diva

[charlitocampos]

Simplemente hermoso.... no hay nadie que pueda igualar a la hermosa Maria Callas... Una diosa!!!!
