Oh, I prefer the live version from La Scala, 1956. Yes.

[belcantismo]

I love both, but I prefer this version.

[Fairpavel]

And which Una voce poco fa do you prefer?

London 1954: the only one I posted on my youtube account.

Every note a gem.

With this wonderful studio version, Callas gives back to this neglected aria its classical beauty and humour, up to the breathtaking cadenza.

I will never forget your great voice.Thanks Maria,thanks Belcantismo

My Lord! the Quartine at 4:40 are just perfect in time and intonation, just like a machine. She's so into the music that becomes part of it just like an instrument - the main instrument. Calls, La Divina.- no one before , no one after!

Wonderful. I have enjoyed this recording for years.. Serafin and the cast are wonderful. Regardless of what the critics say [she] was the greatest soprano in recorded history, A real music lesson here... for us all. Thank you!

She sounds like she has woodwind, brass and string sections in that little throat of hers. This is music of a very rare kind, as it is performed by someone whose demands on herself are at the same level of what the composer requires as well. I never got that feeling when listening to Roberta Peters' sickening and arch portrayal of Rosina, so corny and musically sophomoric.

[SweetFiness]

Beautiful in 1956, but in the original key is even more precious!!

This marvellous Barbiere has been the first I listen to from my teenage! Callas is outstanding, all the singers are good (but Zaccaria and Ollendorff are terrible)
