  • If one wishes to understand the inner-

    workings of an operatic character....

    listen to Callas. Her portrayals may

    not always come in a palatable, slick,

    pretty package tied with the bow, but

    they are honest, contain the high truth

    of feeling, and are iconic and un-

    forgettable. Thank you for posting

    one of Callas' many gifts to the operatic

    world!

  • She was only 27 years old in 1950. It's amazing what she could do so young.

  • SI FUE VERDAD QUE CALLAS FUE UN REGALO DE DIOS......PERO DIOS DEJO UN AS EN LA MANGA.......Y ESA FUE JOAN SUTHERLAND....LA SORPRESA DE DIOS PARA PONER LA FIRMA DEL UNIVERSO.

  • Ok. This is technically perfect. Her legato is FLAWLESS in this performance.

    The young Callas was an unstoppable force of nature

  • her last note sounded like Sutherland =)

  • Bellini would have loved Callas. This is stupendous!

  • Grande...Sauvage...Belle..!

  • @Kievest

    and thank you for this beautiful comment. so so damn true!

    these are the gifts she left for us....haha.

  • @sezgin86 1. These are not 'gencer" like glottals.. they are just clean atacks.. there is no hiccup.. 2. This portrayal was polished with age... You cannot compare Callas to Gencer and CAballe, who are hiccuping all over the stage and calling it "art/"

  • @kgarmaker123 I counted at least 8 glottal sounds in the first two minutes. As I said before this is bel canto and glottal attack is one of the many ornamentations in bel canto.

  • @ubedajils Si alguna vez existe algo semejante, ten por seguro que no lo veremos ni oiremos, pues un fenomeno de este calibre sucede cada mil años!!

  • Pobera Adalgisa!
