I don't know much about opera, but i am immensely intrigued by it. It's no longer the era where we see vocal artists endeavouring to perfect their vocal technique, which is foundation for any genre singing.
Would you guys please stop? Why can't you just love and appreciate the beauty of the human voice? I personally think you're childish and unenlightened. I think both Callas and Sutherland were wonderful artists who had different strengths and weaknesses. Be grateful to even listen to them, as I'm sure with all your cawing you aren't very good vocalists, because you don't even seem to like the human voice. You will never be as good as either of them.
@Lammermoor27 Agreed, I don't see the point of arguing who is best or better. No singer is perfect, and different people value different strengths and weaknesses differently. A great documentary!
@Ariadne7710 The only thing is that as hideous as it is, it's spot on for the garish freak show of mutants where she was singing at (except for Lady Di who looked divine).
@NEBESHIKU Lots of people sound off in public about things they know nothing about because they are a well known personality and Germaine Greer is foremost among them. Anything you care to mention and she immediately piles in, as if she was an authority on the subject. One Aussie making a big deal out of another. Typicall antipodean with a big chip on her shoulder.!!!!
Well actually Sutherland's agility is not best shown in Lucia which maybe her most famous role but not the most difficult or agility requiring role. Also how incredible that she is "the Assoluta" who sang only one out of the 9 Assoluta roles ... who are these people talking here? does this woman have an idea what an Assoluta role is?
what else would one expect from a Kiri hosted documentary - a huge pile of stupidities and inacuracies
@LohengrinT oh dear dear Lohengrin, you keep mouthing off about the Assoluta roles all the time. Just concede that Sutherland was the greatest voice, if Callas was the greatest performer, and stop all this silly nonsense time after time.
the greatest Voice must excel in the Assoluta repertoire - otherwise she is not even a candidate. The only assoluta role Sutherland sang well was Norma.
Why you think all coloraturas start singing them when they get 60 years old? because at that age the audience respect their white hair and does not throw tomatoes at them
A true Assoluta begins the Asoluta repertoire at early age or at least at her vocal prime
when Callas was at her ultimate vocal prime, up to 1953, Sutherland didnt hold a candle to her voice. She never managed to support 3 complete octaves with supreme agility and full coloratura soprano with heavy contralto register in the 6 true Assoluta roles (she skipped Gemma, Elisabetta and Reiza)
you actually imply that the singer who had to cancel ALL consonants to maintain her sound and had no low voice to support the assoluta roles and who added so many un written Pauses in the score in order to let her voice get ready for the high notes or because she was merely musically retarded was better ? ahahahahah
@LohengrinT I'm saying that Callas, with her intonation that was CONSISTENTLY all over the place, and a voice as grotesque and hideous as a roadkill with its entrails festering under a summer sun, isn't worth Netrebko's FART -- let alone Sutherland's. LOL.
Callas' intonation was always simply flawless - now Sutherland besides the Queen of Pauses, Queen of No-Consonants and Queen of No-Low voice, she was also a Queen of Transposition :) She would higher the lows and lower the highs even in her ultimate prime :) Talk about truly Mal-Functioning technique ;)
@LohengrinT Being unable to hit the precise notes, wobbles -- particularly at the higher register -- of seismic intensity, a legato line that was little better than a ride over the roughest terrain of Afghanistan, coloratura passages that were muddled and had the heft and subtlety of cannonballs, top notes that were shrieked in the manner of a banshee, and bottom notes that were barked in the manner of a pug. This was the mark of Callas's singing in her so-called prime :)
@SenseAndSpite I honestly never read such nonsense, 1st grade students could come up with better metaphors, you are neither funny nor clever. If only my English was good enough to reply properly!..
@SenseAndSpite Laughable absolutely laughable, I hope you get a lawsuit for defamation. I am sure my English is better than your Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French :))) How many languages can you speak?.... Don't bother replying, you have demonstrated your intellectual level, if all you can do is call a dead woman a whore, very disturbing.
@romaitalia29 If I were you I wouldn't engage in discussion foul mouthed retards. The whole world recognises who Callas was which is what pisses off the Sutherland obsessives. They have no logical arguments with which to defend their position which really makes them mad. Hence they resort to foul language. Callas's recordings still to this day outsell almost every other classical artist. Documentaries on her life and art are aired on TV again and again everywhere. It must be unbearable.
@romaitalia29 For all his/her boasting about his/her language skills even in his native English the vocabulary is strictly limited. Even the insults are limited to half a dozen words. I wouldn't waste my time answering if I were you. There must be more interesting things to occupy your time and mind with. He/she is just sick as a dog because he can't find plausible arguments with which to make his ridiculous attacks. Poor Joanie was not in the same class as Callas and it pisses him off big time
@Ariadne7710 I must agree with you here. Callas was NOT IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS SUTHERLAND -- even in Callas's prime. I think Callas would have been perfect for Britain's Got Talent. Although just between us, I don't think she'd pass muster there, too. You see, even there you must sing WELL and BEAUTIFULLY, which, I'm truly sorry to say, Callas was just not capable of doing.
@SenseAndSpite Hahaha. So little sense so much spite!!!! And you just can't bear the idea that poor old Joanie never came close to dethroning Callas. CALLAS was the ONE AND ONLY ASSOLUTA of the 20th Century. The likes of Karajan, Giulini, Kleiber, Serafin and a host of others lined up to conduct her. Joan had a voice butt never understood how to use it other than go trillllllll. All she had was an ignorant husband. As for Britain's Gpt Talent. I woulldn't know. Not my kind of entertainment
@Ariadne7710 Tsk tsk. Ariadne 7710, my poor octogenarian coquette, Callas didn't so much sing as FARTED THE NOTES -- and really EXECRABLE sounding ones they were too -- out of her mouth. The WHORE had no aesthetic sense whatsoever. Good Lord, how positively DESPERATE she sounded shrieking out those top notes and croaking out the bottom ones! Rather as though she had one of Ari's fists up her cunt and the other up her shithole. LOL.
@Ariadne7710 But I do admit to being a little hard on Callas. After all, she couldn't help being a WHORE because that was what she had always been at her very CORE. We really shouldn't expect a WHORE to be able to spin even a couple of notes of exceptional beauty, let alone an entire aria :)
@spqrmor I am not fighting I am just having fun. I am trying to get him madder and madder because he is ignorant and doesn't know anything about operatic singing. He is just a fanatic Sutherland groupie. As for repairing his brain, what brain!!!! You need to have one in the first place before you can repair it. But we have to recognise one thing. He knows how to get two words to rhyme!!!!! Bravo!!!!!
how about Sutherland singing tonically whatever in her famous fast sung passages (that were in fact so fast that she was singing whatever and no one ever seemed to notice?) :))
The tones Callas hit were always pitch perfect. Sutherland herself had admitted her pitch was moderate ;)
You read my comments a lot and you reverse them and project them on Callas, still it is quite obvious you are a parrot
I have made many people PARROTS of mine in my life you are one of them:)))
@SenseAndSpite I think your brain is a little confused. Surely you are referring to Sutherland's Anna Bolena, so full of wobble it made you sea-sick. Or if you are referring to shrieks her Esclarmonde which I saw live at Covent Garden and felt so embarrassed on her behalf that someone with her reputation would get on a stage to sing like that. In her prime she sang roles like Elvira in Puritani, Amina in Sonnambula and a few others amazingly. but like most she didn't know when to stop.
@Ariadne7710 I'm afraid I'm referring to Callas. The HIDEOUS singing. The ABSENCE OF TECHNIQUE. And the LACK OF CONTROL, good gracious -- myriad instances when a rush of notes comes to the listener, quite frankly, like puffs of flatulence accidentally let out from the wrong end of her :)
@SenseAndSpite Really? Oh sorry I was 100% sure you were talking about Sutherland. The desctiption fitted her so well it never occurred to me that you could possibly be talking about anyone else. And as for flatulence you seem to be a great authority on it. Hence I must assume that you produce lots of it all the time:)))))))
@Ariadne7710 Ariadne 7710, my POOR, OCTOGENARIAN COQUETTE, I could have learned to love Maria Callas -- her BUFFOONERY on stage notwithstanding, or indeed her WHORISH lifestyle -- if only she didn't sing with SUPERLATIVE UGLINESS.
@Ariadne7710 Case in point: Callas's Violetta in Lisbon.
For the love of God, woman, you're singing about leading a life unencumbered by responsibilities, of fluttering from pleasure to pleasure, not hurling malevolent invectives at your enemies!
And of course, those single notes -- shrill and deadly as shards of glass, and a whole lot of them, I might add -- sticking out everywhere.
I can almost hear Schwarzkopf saying: "WHORE, may I have that a bit lovelier please?" LOL.
@SenseAndSpite For your information on one occasion Schwartzkopf was sitting in Ghiringhellii's box at La Scala during a performance of Trovatore in1953 with Callas singing Leonora. Ghiringelli heard sobbing from behind him and when he turned round she said to him "that woman is a miracle". So let us stop speculating what opinion Schwartzkopf or anyone else had of Callas. There is enough documentary evidence out there to know exactly what anyone whose opinion matter thought.
@Ariadne7710 Another case in point: Callas's Norma.
Maria, my little strumpet, you're singing a prayer for peace, why are you GROWLING LIKE A MASTIFF IN HEAT?
And as always, the rampaging sound of PURE UGLINESS you're spewing out (in "a noi volgi" and "spargi in terra" among others) -- a DELUGE OF DIARRHEA assailing the senses of your listener.
I can almost hear Schwarzkopf saying: "WHORE, may I have that a bit lovelier please?" LOL.
@LohengrinT I take it your friend above is an authority on opera and heard Callas live since he speaks with such authority. I think the only thing he is an authority on is foul language full of sick envious bile. We who had the unique and unforgettable experience of hearing her live have been hugely enriched by the experience. It made our lives more pleasurable, serene, and left us with memories which enhance the meaning of life. If he wasn't such a vile creature I would feel sorry for him.
@SenseAndSpite The many thousands who queued all night to buy tickets to hear her and the many millions who still buy her recordings would disagree with you. Mainly because she was an incomparable singer and artist with an an incredible voice and a perfect technique and the whole world recognises it. Poor Joanie tried to match her but trailed way behind. Not bad but not in the same league. Which is what you can't stomach. Get a life.
Gosh... I remember this... the royal wedding. I was 6 at the time! Dame Kiri rocks!!! I must say that Dame Kiri makes a wonderful teacher... my old singing teacher trained with her and sang at Glyndebourne with her. He remarked that [she] has an extraordinary musical intelligence and was the most beautiful voice her ever sung with...
I don't know much about opera, but i am immensely intrigued by it. It's no longer the era where we see vocal artists endeavouring to perfect their vocal technique, which is foundation for any genre singing.
