LA MAMMA MORTA
La mamma morta m'hanno
alla porta della stanza mia;
Moriva e mi salvava!
poi a notte alta
io con Bersi errava,
quando ad un tratto
un livido bagliore guizza
e rischiara innanzi a' passi miei
la cupa via!
Guardo!
Bruciava il loco di mia culla!
Così fui sola!
E intorno il nulla!
Fame e miseria!
Il bisogno, il periglio!
Caddi malata,
e Bersi, buona e pura,
di sua bellezza ha fatto un mercato,
un contratto per me!
Porto sventura a chi bene mi vuole!
Fu in quel dolore
che a me venne l'amor!
Voce piena d'armonia e dice:
"Vivi ancora! Io son la vita!
Ne' miei occhi è il tuo cielo!
Tu non sei sola!
Le lacrime tue io le raccolgo!
Io sto sul tuo cammino e ti sorreggo!
Sorridi e spera! Io son l'amore!
Tutto intorno è sangue e fango?
Io son divino! Io son l'oblio!
Io sono il dio che sovra il mondo
scendo da l'empireo, fa della terra
un ciel! Ah!
Io son l'amore, io son l'amor, l'amor!"

  • @jirizika1962 Yes, that is a suitable term for Callas- PHENOMENAL. At her best, before the poor girl suffered a a filthy betrayal by Onassis, she was so great that the world's experts say that no soprano can be compared to Callas, it is not fair to them, Callas is unreachable. Yes, Supersoprano Sfogato Assoluta, Phenom La Divina Callas.

  • Excelsa!!!!! insuperable!!!!

  • She sings so carefully,so secure here, good timing all in place. I hate her so much, She introduced me to opera some years ago, and now I can't live without her. I can't even believe i'm puttin a comment. Sing great woman, Sing you will be remembered for generations to come.

  • the extra sensitivity brings its share of mishaps but also a great release sometimes ... I can cry while listening to this shining "song" , this voice ....

    (Sorry if my english is not really good)

  • Bizarre that John Ardoin described that high B as 'wobbly'.

  • Better than the studio recording, with those sudden shifts to "secco" to better convey the desperation of her life at this moment. It's fascinating to listen to her lessons at Juilliard, particularly those with the mezzo-soprano, Sheila Nadler. In the lesson for "Stride la vampa" Callas reveals the technique, note for note, of "canto strepitoso"—how to stupefy the audience rather than make beautiful sounds. Here she has stupefied them again—just another night for Callas, a revelation to us!

  • @JLFAN2009 Are there any others!!!! LOL! For me there is Callas, and no one else.

  • I have a bunch of MP3 files of opera arias. For sopranos, they're classified into two categories -- Maria Callas and all the others.

  • AWESOME......AMAZING......BEAU­TIFUL...WONDERFUL........THE BEST.......CALLAS FOREVER.......BRAAAAAAAAAAAAVA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!­!!!

  • Questa canzone è stupenda....

    M soprattutto lei è BRAVISSIMA!!!
