The way Callas rounded off her phrases and still maintained the sumptuous legato line was fabulous. A real technical masterclass in Bel Canto singing.
Her voice sounds rather elegant here, the high notes a tad sharp, but well supported.
-
@Toscarpia Have you heard of her "Ah perfido"? According to the book, the Unknown Callas, she accompanied herself in the piano. It was the most beautiful singing I have heard from Maria.
-
Not at her best of sure! Lovely.
-
@SENAFOREVER Oh, she needed to.
-
@quis178 she always had the coloratura, check out the masterclass for il dolce suono....BRAVA CALLAS!!!
-
and why are these people even talking of Sutherland on a Callas video comment page??

i'm sorry for all those that say that Callas, or Maria because by 1963 had become Maria instead of La Callas, sings awfully in this are idiots, because for 1963 and in general, this is GREAT!! BRAVA MARIA!!!

The only role listed that Sutherland did not sing in the opera house was Turandot. She performed Adriana, Suor Angelica, Desdemona, Antonia, Giulietta, and Mme Lidoine. Her best singing was in the bel canto repertoire--Bellini and Donizetti in particular, also Rossini. Some of those roles are dramatic coloratura rather than lyric coloratura. She also sang Esclarmonde and Traviata, not, strictly speaking, coloratura roles. Early in her career, she sang Marriage of Figaro and, at least once, Aida.

Such beautiful legato scales and wonderfully tapered phrases. Sutherland inserted more variations and added high notes but she did not sing it any better than Callas. Maria gets far more out of this aria with much less added. Rossini would have approved. Her high C at the end is just fabulous.

Was this REALLY recorded in 1963 ? Her voice sounds amaizingly fresh and flexible for that year...
