profoundly moving and elegant. Callas is fine as ever because of her authenticity.

Visconti said that this was the most beautiful piece of work that he and Callas did together.

I was in opera last night for this masterpiece.

Music from God and lyrics from soul.

The best! Eterna memoria a la serva di Dio Maria.Una che cantava cosi ha guadagniato il ciello.....Царствие небесное рабе божьей Марии...Она лучшая....Разделила свою душу и раздает ее по частям...даже нам, живущим много позднее...........

@armenak20962 è il suo legato saldissimo, largo, scuro, eppure duttile, che rende la solennità della musica di Gluck. In questo modo, il personaggio che ne esce è monumentale e drammatico, e il dolore che esprime sembra universale: è il tributo, alla fine, che Gluck rende ad Euripide.

Callas est bien meilleure en italien qu'en français. Il y a quelques années, je chantais Thoas à Roma, et j'écoutais en coulisse l'air sublime en français. Elisabeth Connell, en Iphigénie, était vraiment magnifique. Un vieux choriste m'a dit dans l'oreille : "Senti la Callas!". Pardon Elisabeth, mais j'ai entendu la Divine par dessus ta voix, grâce à cet enregistrement devenue immortelle. Et nous avons pleuré, le vieux choriste et moi.

Maria could really sing Gluck.

Callas is unbelievable as Ifigenia. Get the Divina Records release of this performance, the sound is incredible!! And I am used to recordings from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc and of recent decades, I can honestly tell you it sounds AMAZING! Doesn't sound like 57 at all!

but actually, this version is translated to italian and was originally in french

[lyricalmage]

correctly, and that's because the operas he composed after his reform have the style of the french opera's school, so he later made adaptations in french
