Великолепно!!! Но мое сердце принадлежит нашей Великой, Неповторимой Елене Образцовой!!!

Le contrôle vocal est étonnant dans le contexte de cette tournée où les premiers concerts sont souvent pénibles. Là je trouve une grande liberté- et quel regret qu'elle n'ait pu se résoudre à ce registre qui lui aurait permis de reprendre confiance.

CALLAS WAS GREEK,SHE REFUSED THE AMERICAN CITIZEN

Compared to Ponselle, this is like watching an understudy -- this is a classy voice (at least parts of it), but there is simply no comparison to Ponselle. At least not inthis rendition.

Für alle Zeiten unübertroffen - Sie wird immer die unangefochtene Königin ihres Fachs bleiben !!!

Marìa: siempre divina

Her face - of a tragic empress , of a prophetess... What fools all the great producers were - they could make greatest films with Callas ! Here my heart`s bleeding looking at her Carmen, in vain she`s trying to look careless and full of vitality. She was too sincere, she couldn`t hide her pain...
Great impression all the same!

her stage presence was legendary. we only have one opera performance of hers recorded, only half of one at that. but within in that half, the drama and emotion is so magnetic and real. i can't engage with 98% of opera singers i see today. her recitals still engaged me with the emotion in her movements and face. i am thankfully in the group who found her voice enduring due to its raw power, emotion, and strangeness. unsual voice, stubborn, beauty, external opera world appeal = Diva La Callas ;)

for anything less than what she wanted. it's great because it meant she was strong, but bad because it meant she was stubborn. really, what beginning singer turns down The Met? her voice, personal preference aside, you have to admit she did amazing things with it. when she debuted, she was singing so many different repertoires and styles, the ability was so unusual hadn't been heard since Malibran. there wasn't a consensus by critics on which part of her voice they hated more. and lastly,
there are many divas but only one Maria Calla ....the DIVINA !!!

Her diaphram was damaged by this point, and she had health issues due to losing a lot of weight. I am surprised she was able to sing this well at all, as her performances were rare at this age.
