@aquatiger1987 Yeah I agree with you. That Dessay interview is waay off. She forgot to mention how Maria Callas had better technique than any soprano of her time and singlehandedly revived bel canto singing. Natalie Dessays were a dime a dozen back in Callas' time.

I've heard Natalie Dessay say (accidental play on words... hmm) that Joan Sutherland was a better singer than Maria Callas... screw that shit, I can sing along with: Joan Sutherland's, Janis Joplin, Jussi Bjorling, Bon Scott, Rob Halford, you name it; but I currently cannot sing along with Callas' prime year stuff 51-53 (for sheer power, decibal levels and notes combined). Maria's voice from her prime, is the best ever voice that's been recorded and can be listened to, plain and simple.

Jurgen Kesting considers that the concert was in Rome
I'm crazy delighted! Many thanks! After Maria Callas all other singers seem to me in this aria not so expressive.
