@Pelorubio1975 look up for it in an encyclopedia, they call Callas' voice sfogato...

@SkateNater -follows- I feel her because she becomes one thing with the character she's playing: her vibrating voice, her powerful emotions penetrate in my chest. This was, still is, her magic that made her THE Callas. I humbly suggest to listen to her performance of the aria "La mamma morta" of Andrea Chénier...

@SkateNater There will always be those who appreciated for her ability-her voice-her personage-her passion-her unique charisma, and those who dislike her for the same reasons. The point is that, when I listen to Maria Callas I forget about her as a great performer, but I "feel" her as woman, I get involved with Violetta or Tosca or Madama Butterfly...

I never heard Maria Callas defined as "Sfogato", nor anyone else (maybe this is an English expression that somebody italianized...there is no such definition in Italian that I am aware of). As I said in my previsous comment M. Callas was a soprano lirico drammatico (o "spinto"), nothing to do with colorature, although she was perfectly able to sing...a "Lakmè" for example. But I don't have the intention of starting a debate.

@philipc67 Sutherland's version sounds boring to me... It's like she's singing "oh what should I have for brunch, cheese or ham" when in fact she sings "Oh maybe it's he who can give me some joy in life again..." As long as expression goes, it's flat and boring

There may be prettier voices, but when I listen to Callas, I hear Violetta.

Not sure about the whole traviata, maybe lisbon ..., in my opinion regarding the "sempre libera" aria , this one is the best..
