[NOTE: This newer version synchronizes the scrolling music more precisely than the previous, admittedly more fluid, version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elr5-wKSFKE ]

Maria Callas (on top) and Renée Fleming sing Puccini's famous "O mio babbino caro" at the same time - well, sort of. Original videos are here:

  • yes they should have faded out Flemings vibrato .. her phrasing which tries to be heartfelt comes up kind of whiny .. like she is whining too much .. Whereas Callas truly seems as she is pleading not too overdone & with the right amount of sentiment & clear tone.. In my opinion & those of millions of other fans dead & alive .. Maria Callas is the Diva of all Divas :) .!! * BRAVO * !!

  • they should have faded out on Fleming's last pieta before her vibrato goes crazy... definitely agree with DRGeoduck, very nice in an ... odd... way.

  • This is lovely in a way I never would have suspected.
