  • All trills are NOT the same. A trill as it was heard in Monteverdi's time would not have sounded the same as a trill in Handel's time. And know, I have no idea what I am talking about. None at all. Eat me.

  • trills may change but what the composer wrote doesn't change.

  • I love her and she is a great singer, but she doesn't really know ornamentation. Sadly, so many musicians, with all great musicologist we have today, still don't know things like this. :/

  • @operamusicfan Julliard, I'm afraid.

  • Maria Callas is so intellectual in so many ways. Beyond musical. The world misses her presence...even now. One of a kind.

  • @Ariadne7710 Even the term "Colortura Soprano" is WRONG!!! There are sopranos who sing lightly and sing the Bel Canto style colouratura. This is a style of singing not a type of singer! Almost all vocal music uses ornamentation and colortura fast "fireworks" but sopranos got the label cuz of their high high voices and they and Tenors have always been favored voice types...I should know, I'm a Mezzo-Soprano! LOL

  • Was she playing the piano here? That's awesome :)

  • I am surprised at the ignorance of this young singer. Callas is explaining the difference between a trill and an appogiatura on this occasion. Every musician who studies any instrument knows how to do all these ornamentations. I am amazed that singers nowdays get to the point where they go to master-classes without knowing how to differentiate between the various types of ornamentation!! How can they get anywhere!!!

  • @srinivaskari She was a true musician :)

  • @olympicfreak678 Presumably the collection by Ricci of traditional variants and cadenzas.

  • what an awesome teacher......the lady is perfect in her teaching...her knowledge is awesome..........just pure awesomeness

  • @EmeraldSky33 Thanks, I try! :-)
