Like a Rock! Made the back of my hairs stand up. No one has ever sung Abigaile's music like Maria Callas. I had never heard this performance before. It would be impressive at any period of Callas' career, early or late...those arresting declamations in the opening recit, with that solid high C and the 2 octave drop into chest voice, the tender piani and soaring legato phrases of the aria...and a beautifully sculpted cadenza, again with a top C. No wonder the audience was cheering so loudly!!
