  • No one before La Callas, no one like La Callas, no one after La Callas.

  • Nobody is going to argue that her voice is at its best, we all know that. But that was part of the set "Callas à Paris", so she had to record it. And if you ask me, with the means she had then, she did her best, and the line is superb, and every note has a meaning.

  • @alex7700585 yes no one only one DIVA, because she comes from the pain, her pathos is belongs to the stage and the grandiloquence just one DIVA

  • difficile de ne pas aimer , mais la voix se dechire...Crespin plus jeune est bien meilleure et plus emouvante et plus sensible encore.Mais : Callas !!!

  • Avec un orchestre du XIX ème siècle...

    Où est la subtilité de Glück ?

    Allez, c'est bien quand même malgré certains aigus...

  • Rococoism:

    O malheureuse Iphigénie

    ta famille est anéantie

    Vous n'avez plus de Rois

    je n'ai plus de parents

    Melez vos cris plainlifs

    à mes gémissements

  • Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for this song online and in French? Thanks

  • I think Callas sounds superb in this recording. There is no sign of vocal insecurity or decline. She may have been going through that but it is not evidenced in this recording. It is one of her best and a joy to listen to for its beauty and classical line.

  • @Delesaga I never said she sang this in concert. I said it is from the set of 2 CDs called "Callas à Paris", that's all.

  • @MarcoCallas

    No, this Aria was not included in the big concert she gave in Parirs 1963 in collaboration with fasion magazine Marie-Claire.

  • @vivelhistoire

    Στο αλμπουμ "Callas a Paris", EMI Classics, δεύτερος δίσκος.

    Υπήρχε παλιότερα και σε αλμπουμ 8 δίσκων με άριες - ένα must!!

  • Cf. mackjay2, joanabanyeres & killeradvice. J’adore Maria Callas à l’objection près — je m’excuse — qui vaut sans doute pour bien des chanteurs mais très précisément pour elle, que quand on l’entend chanter « Ô malheureuse Iphigénie » on se dit que c’est du Callas avant de se dire que c’est du Gluck. Il est d’autres œuvres, je pense à Médée. Cette raison vaut que je ne me lasse jamais de l’écouter... mais j’aime aussi changer de disque, pour écouter Janet Baker notamment (j'adore Janet Baker !).
