  • One of the most mesmerizing examples of bel canto EVER! She truly sounds as if she is totally mad - but the hurt she expresses at the end of the aria - that it seemed as if their love only lasted one day - is truly palpable and heart-wrenching.

    In the 1957 recording of the actual performance at La Scala - the audience went BALLISTIC at the end of the aria - even cutting her off.

    God bless her!

  • Wow, I love the ending... note feels like floating air!!

  • Maria at her very best.

  • Bel Canto as it should be sung.

  • Anna:

    Llévame a mi agradable castillo natal,

    a los verdes prados, al plácido río

    que aún murmura nuestros suspiros.

    ¡Ah! Y allí olvidaré las penas pasadas.

    ¡Devuélveme un solo día de mi juventud;

    devuélveme un solo día de nuestro amor!

    ¡ah! Un sólo día de nuestro amor.

  • En cette année 58 on sent peut-être les premières petites blessures de cette voix, enregistrée de trop près, comme souvent, mais c'est absolument SUBLIME DECHIRANT, d'une sorte de tristesse noble et simple- un air de solitude, comme l'était la sienne. Quelle artiste!

  • La Callas è sempre LA CALLAS !!!!

  • btw its 1958, BRAVA CALLAS

  • its actually 58, recording seesion of the mad scenes...

  • These recordings marked her best reproductions in Studio, Just like she had been doing ON STAGE those years (1956 and 1957) and IL PIRATA by that time (both on stage and studio)

  • A masterclass in bel canto perfection. This is why she was called La Divina

  • Perfection!
