No soprano had a more exciting, thrilling voice so full of pathos and power than this at this time in her life and prior to 1954. ❤ And, yes, beautiful this voice is!!!

Callas was the best singer in the universe!!!!

Ti's brings tears to my eyes, every time. Callas was incomparable, a true genius & artist of the first rank

... Words fail, one can only listen and hold his breath ... Thank You

Beloved Marx What great gifts you bestow , heartfelt thanks. She draws us like a magnet. She is utterly ‘present’ - behind every note she sings. She ‘Makes’ us listen. There is an undeniable presence of being ‘in ‘ the music. Unique, brave, demanding Maria. You give us a taste of a world of music never before heard and never again achieved. Everlasting love and humble gratitude.

Heavenly. Memorable. Unique. She is the best of all times without any doubts.

Thank you for this divine treasure!

Thick, dark, heavy yet agile, and strong like an airplane engine blast. Lol. The perfect combination of a sound, found in full glory in a single and unique human throat at its peak, with absolutely no limits. Simply overwhelming. La Divina lives forever!

This is a miracle!! Especially the Bellini Cabaletta. No one sang those downward runs with this brilliance and ease. Never! And without lightening the voice. Every note gets its full weigt. And the e-flat in the end... Perfection!!!

When someone asked Tullio Serafin what he actually thought of Callas' voice, the great maestro shook his head and mused, "Which voice? Norma? Violetta?"

so gorgeous.

Exquisite. Callas is incomparable and unique. Opera has not been the same since.

This is Callas phrasing in Bellini's music, with all the nuances, shadows, rubato required by this music! Listen to the micro agogica in her last coloratura of the cantilena ! Chopin was inspired by Bellini music; Wagner also wanted his singers oat Bayreuth Theater to be coached by Manuel Garcia in "belcanto" way of singing the music for the premiere. Her voice might not be as Ponselle's but Callas phrasing in Bellini is unique indeed ! ♥

Divina Maria forever!!

Si può comprendere perché si dice che esiste un prima e un dopo Callas... Lei ha reso nobiltà all'arte lirica ed ha ripreso la grande scuola belcantista che tanto splendore ha dato al canto ed alla interpretazione di altissimo livello.

Not the most pure or beautiful perhaps...but the very first notes...you know it can't be anyone else...without doubt the greatest opera soprano of the 20th century....no other soprano could convey such deep emotion pulling your heart strings with every phrase.

Stimmt ! Meine Mutter hat immer gesagt, als die Callas in jungen Jahren so füllig war, hatte sie ihre beste Stimme, auch als Gioconda unerreichbar !

The technique is a marvel as is the power of the voice and musicianship, but to consider how young she was at the time, it makes one gasp at the depth of her expression. She earned the title of "La Divina" the moment she recorded the first note.

Su voz era excepcional!!!!! 💚

My goodness, this is incredible. The size of the voice and the absolute steadiness of tone combined with all her musical precision. I have never heard her sounding this good. (At the time one would celebrate the successor of Ponselle.)

Giuditta Pasta alternated opposite types of opera, but that, together with other things, tired her. La Divina's voice, if she didn't had so many physical and psychological pains, would had been a lot more preserved 😢, because her technique was the absolute best, and she had the greatest chest voice of all

Nel 1949 ci fu il Concerto Martini & Rossi con il grandissimo Filippeschi. Purtroppo introvabile!

Ad inizio carriera, quando la voce era ancora assolutamente perfetta. Le prime registrazioni Parlophone sono splendide. Una grande artista ed una formidabile musicista. Di queste registrazioni esistono dei provini con delle "takes" alternative.

Y Callas está contemplando el célebre retrato de la legendaria Giuditta Pasta!

She will never be forgotten! No one to this day can rival Maria. She was a one time gift from god to us.

This is the Maria I love ... singing the correct repertoire. She is definitely stupendous in these excerpts.

You mean can handle three different fachs…

Although her voice was thick and heavy during her vocal prime, it was still light, agile and flexible. Madam De Hidalgo did a great job in training her voice.

Thanks to Marx7811, love you guys, we all come here because we love her voice.

*"You can either scream your head off singing Wagner or you can sing it musically."* *Queen Maria Callas of Bel Canto.*

I heard maria callas at the old met in Tosca and recital with DeStefano. I believe her personal life was the weight that brought her down at the end.

Así se dio a conocer Maria Callas en Italia. Por un lado cantaba Wagner y por otro el repertorio italiano. Y, después ...la regina de la Scalla...

The only time I've enjoyed Wagner 😉

Her early singing was her best, maybe weight gave power for top vocal chords, her Norma still remains her best...ever.

She was being coached by Cusinati during this time. He demanded her to sing beautifully and didn’t let her get away with anything.

Beauty is subjective.

@SilfredoSerrano

Жыл бұрын

I think we've been told over and over again that it wasn't beautiful that we haven't been able to truly hear her voice without this haze of years of criticism. Beauty is indeed subjective, and what was one considered beautiful may not be today, and vice versa. During the Renaissance, heavier women were deemed desirable and skinny women were unattractive. So it is with other standards of "beauty."

@Dianaemanuel

I guess if you compare the timbre of her voice to someone like Leontyne Price it's not conventionally beautiful. Dramatic and full of colour - yes. But 'beautiful'? No.

​@@baritonebynightYeah, like the old clichë goes. But the point was that Callas' voice was never even THAT unusual or strange in comparison to other voices in her category & even just in general for it to merit being exceptionalized & seen in that regard. So perhaps the subjectivity has really been less about the perception of "beauty" than the other stuff within those people who actually couldn't even aspire to her standards if they wanted to. And you know they SOOOO want to! Bad. Though, they won't explicitly admit to it. So what does one do to feel better about not being able to reach the distant stars? It's another ancient tactic that's not too far from the ad hominem: THE SOUR GRAPES. They try to diminish the starlights' brightness in their imaginations, so they won't feel so diminishd by their own inability & failure to shine just as (actually & not merely figuratively) bright to join their ranks.
