This opera is coming to my city, I can't wait. God, Callas leaves you speechless. That was 1954, and to think she's lose a child 6 years later. Yup, i've been doing my reading on Callas. What a tragic life.
The final note is ethereal, floats just fine and then diminishes into a sustained pianissimo. Callas gets her toughest criticism from the most myopic of musical minds. She shows that you can achieve the same effect without being a slave to Puccini. If u don't feel (forget hearing) the sadness throughout and especially in the final note then u r perhaps inhuman.
Recording a bit scratchy but what a performance. Maria always seemed to put so much passion into her performances. Even without the translation it is very moving
