@Maripudelmonaco, el problema de Callas&Del Monaco es que estaban en discograficas rivales, y ademas la Callas tenia un caracter que le hizo 'desechar' operas caprichosamente. MDM era grande, Tebaldi tambien pero Callas fue un caso unico de divismo entre las sopranos y siempre sera una leyenda, podra gustar mas o menos sus cualidades vocales pero dramaticamente, tiene un atractivo que solo los hombres podemos entender del todo...Pero indispensables los tres M, R y M

@caleche78 - TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO CONTIGO, LAS NOTAS ALTAS QUE SOLTABA CALLAS HACIAN DAÑO, PARECIA QUE SALIAN DE UNA TROMPETA DE HOJA DE LATA.... VIVA RENATA TEBALDI !!!

[Maripudelmonaco]

CALLAS NO DEBÍA ENCONTRARSE CÓMODA EN ESTA  ÓPERA, YA QUE FUÉ LA PRIMERA Y ÚLTIMA VEZ QUE LA CANTÓ. POR ALGO O SERIA......MARIO EN OOESTA REPRESENTACIÓN SE COMIÓ A MARIA CALLAS. EL COMPOSITOR DE ESTA ÓPERA , GIORDANO LE LLAMÓ " IL MIO CHENIER "

@kgarmaker123 Tebaldi did have a beautiful voice, but she did not support her high notes properly.I kind of agree, she did force her top, but she got away with it because of the beauty of her voice.Iprefer Callas over Tebaldi,because of her great heart felt interpretations,phrasing&patho­s.I also think that MCwas more exciting live(Aida Messico51 with Del Monaco), I think is the best I ever heard.They both seem to be in their vocal prime & perhaps the high altitude made them seem very competitive

@neneorganico I disagree.The transposing of this duet down a half tone is definitely acceptable as is other arias.Di Quella Pira, Che Gelida Manina,Vieni fra queste braccia, Purtani,Corriam in William Tell.How does Callas perfect Italian&diction sound ?How does Callas interpretation & feeling?I'm sure your favorite tenor & soprano have transposed as well unless it's Lauri Volpi, but I doubt it is, because he developed a wobble as he got older.My point is that no one singer is perfect.

@kgarmaker123 It's VERYpossible that the duet was transposed down for Del Monaco, I think MDM transposed the duet down when singing live,which is supposedly acceptable.MDM does not transpose the duet on the studio recordings.Pavarotti, although having the good facility in the high notes,also transposed the aria down because of the heavy tessitura.MDM did have a good B- Natural.In Trovatore with Bastianini& Gencer,MDM sings the Pira a half tone down but also hits the D- flat in the terzetto.Enjoy

@kgarmaker123 Oh this does nor work , it is lowered , they sing Bflat instead of the written Bs natural and Callas upper tones sounds wobbly and so unperfect even transposing down half a tone the duet.

@silvr94LOL, you have to be careful! These fans of Tebaldi come out of the bushes and claim with a straight face that she was NOT flat, she was always on pitch.. when anyone with ears can hear she had problems with the upper register and was frequently flat.. .. so being polite we call that an intonation problem. When in fact most had to do with her forcing that voice, and being tight in her upper register( it was simply a voice without an easy top.).

[silvr94]

that transposition was sooooo bad!

@kgarmaker123 thank you!!!! finally!! i thought i was the only one who noticed that tebaldi had a slight intonation problem...
