I want to believe you but this sounds more like her around the time she recorded it and I wonder if this is a rehearsal for that which would be early 60s. I do know she was a hard worker but undermined by illness and insecurity. She is still the greatest!

@Faust075 You're really right.She hadn't lost her voice, but her nerves and her body support.Most of the people acted a very disgusting way to her just because they didn't understood her and they didn't know about her condition.They only saw that the Great Callas was gone, that she couldn't sing anymore.Ofcourse she couldn't because that time she had been very ill for a long time.That's why she stopped.These people destroyed her step by step the very first time she started her carreer

In every single word she still is the one and only Maria Callas! Oh, Maria... Thank you for every single moment of your life... How much I miss you...

I'm surprised how excellent she sounds here, considering what she sounded like so frequently in the last years.

This was recorded less than 1 and 1/2 year before she died. She sounds so much better than during her farewell tour in 1973/74 for a simple reason : this was simply practising, she had no pressure at all, no public, no journalists, no critics. She had nothing to prove to anybody so she could be herself : the greatest Opera singer of all times. This proves that she actually never lost her voice, but She lost her nerves and confidence which both are as much important as the voice for a singer

@bonanplu Are you crazy??She did not sing well even in 1947/53??????You are terrible!!!!Just listen to her 1952 armida and tell me who can have better coloratura,voice and breath control than Maria and also be more exciting!Callas was the most exciting singer in all histiry of opera,because simply she was Violetta,Norma,Isolde,Elvira,Leonora,Medea,Carmen,Tosca,Amina,Imogene,Paolina,Gilda,Armida,Lucia,Rosina,Mimi,Manon,Cio Cio San.....
