Vielen Dank für das wundervolle Video von LA DIVINA als Medea 1961 an der Scala.

@AOG93 How about Britten's songs? Have you ever heard his setting of John Donne's Holy Sonnets? GREAT stuff:) --

[AOG93]

@stevevandien I know, right! Like, imagine them in Tristan, Fidelio, Lohengrin, Tannhäusser, Walküre or Norma, Carmen, Otello and so on... (And imagine Callas with him in works by Britten! I would love to hear her in "The turn of the Screw"... though I'm

not a big fan of Britten..)

[LohengrinT]

this is the opera that Beethoven called: the opera that we musicians recognize among ourselves as the highest form of dramatic art.

But it took Callas' Genius to reveal the enormous musical depths of this unrepeatable masterpiece

[stevevandien]

DAMN. How I wish these two great artists could have performed together many more times in other roles --

[lekkerejongen]

It sounds as if they changed the key to a lower key. It sounds much lower than earlier recordings.

[papoocanada]

they should never have exhumed that dull Cherubini opera.

How wonderful to see those famous stage photos come alive, as it were. Thank you Onegin65, a real treat!

[Tsaraslondon]

Not her best version of this aria, certainly, but the silent stage clips are fascinating!

I prefer the version of Magda Olivero.
