  • It is absolutely true!!!! When she just started the Oooooo dite alla giovine.... we all held our breath. The silence was eerie. Her voice sounded unearthly. It was heartbreaking...... I was actually there. There is no other Traviata like it.

  • Le ténoryton chante bien mais il ne fait pas son âge!Quand à Callas,toujours prenante et belle.Je sais ,je suis de parti-pris;mais on pardonne tout pour un instant sublime.

  • bellissimo :D

  • Fabulous.. a nearly perfect violetta.. wow. I am always so impressed with the incredible attention to every detail, she brings to opera, along with musical instincts that are like NO other.

  • @saagua1953 I have listened that and have complete recording, from 1934 Met, magnificent and amazing. But why need cooperation, you have to enjoy, they all are truly UNIQUE artists.

  • @cleanears I agree, Zanassi was a great SINGER.

  • You need to compare this with the Ponselle/Tibbet version.

  • As earlier said, imagine being there...

  • The one who wrote : quite lovely is jocking I suppose !!! Never ! Never ! I have heard dite alla giovane so moving ! It is nearly unbelievible !!! It is not a voice it is an anima
