One of the most beautiful and touching bel canto arias ever written, and an absolutely master class in singing by Maria Callas. Written for the fabulous Giuditta Pasta, from Donizetti's Anna Bolena.
The last minute is pretty much a cadenza, so didn't put the scoring for that. I hope y'all enjoy it.

I really appreciate these animated scores, Primo..... I mean, you can see in spades how perfectly Callas adheres to the text, and how beautiful it is without rewriting the composers music. Thank You.

The best Anna Bolena by far.

Excellent demonstration of the belcanto style.

[infrantasi]

The music needs no affectations, no "modernized" (i.e. edited for television!) rendering, because it is the pinnacle of bel canto style and you need an artist like Callas or Gencer to match the challenges. Netrebko had no schooling in these roles in her early formation, so her voice cannot do justice to the myriad abbellimenti and legato technique, and her gruppetti and intervals are craven and amateur.

@Scarpiadossi

She actually mentions it in the book of her Julliard Masterclasses

[Scarpiadossi]

@primohomme She wrote the cadenza? Wow! Where did you read about that? That's fascinating.

[Laeliapurpurata]

@primohomme That doesn;t surprise me.. Maria was so inately musical.. another reason why she is so amazing. I can't get her out of my head in so much music... I hear it sung by someone else, and then I replay it in my head, sung by her.. And Amazing musician!

I recently found out Maria herself wrote the cadenza, based on an earlier motif.
