That piano D-flat is astonishing - a far cry from her explosive verismo D-flats in Lucia.

@iriisblue As a huge fan of Caballe (and a woman myself) it pains me to disagree with you. The role of Lady Mac was originally meant for a deeper ... "rougher" voice. La Caballe is fantastic (in everything, really. Her and Diva Devia!), but her voice is so clear and refined, for some of us, she's not the right fit for the role.
That said, I'm not really complaining. Beauty is always appreciated.

Excellent really, definitely grand. But like with Leontyne Price who sang this wonderfully, it's just a recital or concert version; like others have mentioned, Caballe's unsuited for the role in it's entirety. I prefer the icy blast of Birgit Nilsson, or the evil grandeur of Leonie Rysanek, Maria Callas and Shirley Verrett. Ghena Dimitrova is also electrifying. Caballe is good, but she doesn't thrill me as Lady Macbeth.

Absolutely correct. Callas had exactly the voice Verdi intended. He faulted the original singer Tadolini for being 'good and beautiful, but I would like Lady to be deformed and ugly.Tadolini has a marvelously bright, clear voice,but I would like Lady to have a stifled, hollow harsh, voice. The voice of Tadolini is that of an angel, the voice of Lady needs something of the devil." Tadolini=Caballe, Callas=devil. ;-)

Superbement chanté, bien sûr, mais comme Medea, comme Gioconda, et à l'autre extrême comme Lucia ou Fiorilla ce n'est ni elle ni pour elle!!

... for me it's a tie between Callas and Marisa Galvany. And dat's my story.

This nonsense about being too "lady like" for Lady MacBeth is just sexist claptrap that is smeared all over operaphile speak. Reminds me of the nitwit who wanted to argue that Dessay was better as Lakme because she was more "french," although the character is a Hindu princess. A great voice like Caballe's was perfect in this repertoire, and she sings this scene with command and presence.

Listen to those excellent lower notes with real depth to them. Lovely end note too.
