@distefano13069609 what do you mean by" suon festivo"?

[Faust075]

Even in 1962, Callas is 100 times better than any siner of today, beginning by the barbie doll Netrebko

Meines Wissens hat Maria CALLAS

[fsmid09]

The content of the 27 februari 1962 concert was:

Weber-Oberon-Ocean

Verdi-Macbeth-La luce langue

Rossini-Cenerrentola-Nacqui al affanno

Massenet-Le Cid-Pleurez mes yeux

Donizetti-Anna Bolena-A dolce guidami

George Pretre-Philharmonica Orchestra-Royal Festival Hall London

A verry good [also sometimes [too] critical] book is "The Callas Legacy'' from John Ardoin ISBN 0715622218, with all her dates of perfomances and remarks about them.....

@bear46no Absolutely, since the demise of Callas and Sutherland there has not been a single soprano who can manage these difficult bel canto roles, the current "pretenders" should simply give up as they are an embarrassment!

[georgerannie]

Wonderful.

[ghostofyeats]

This is amazing -- she ripped through this aria with such ease, spanning all those huge phrases with incision and grandeur, also placing the high C in the second verse easily. But you can hear her lose her nerve with those high notes at the end; it seems Gobbi was right, that she lost her nerve more than anything else.

[bear46no]

Amazing, she sing with the life in her hands like nobody else!!!

the dedication and feeling for the music is unic.

Gruberova/Netrebeko is a joke when it comes to interpretation compared to Callas'.

[pointemeout]

oh yes yes yes. that is all i can say. yes Callas, YES. lovely. in 44 and in 62...yes. yes. yes.

[coryisawake]

@tombwomb Netrebko's assumption of this or any bel canto role disregards literally every single tenet of bel canto singing. Not simply florid Italian tradition, but the schooling whereby singers master every facet of the voice (beginning with breathing) to be used for presenting the music on the page. Netrebko has no rationed breath control and if you watch or listen, she gasps constantly, desperately in the middle of phrases.

Technique aside, she doesn't sing the notes or markings as written.

Even in the twilight of her carrier Callas was a miracle!
