Everybody loves to compare and say who is best - I love Callas for her raw emotional open sounds(there are just different overtones with her)....I love Sutherland for her power and technique.....and I love Sills for just about everything! But could Price be my favorite???? and I adore Anna Moffo! certain people for certain roles.It's so great that we have these old recordings....thank you CZcams!
Her singing is beyond describe. It was magical. She sing the music piece so meticulous, but not excessive. She presented the maximum potential opera music can be to the audiences. THANK GOD recording technology is invented. I wish her and her great peer singers' recording can heritage down the history.
Une scène extrêmement difficile ,de soprano dramatique coloratura , admirablement interprétée ,avec une grande sobriété et fidélité ,une grande intensité dramatique et une grande élégance .
Marx, così giovane e tanto sensibile,il mondo dei ragazzi sarebbe un mondo buono e leale se in tanti apprezzassero il dono dell'unica musica che rende i nostri giorni un tesoro da scoprire con dolcezza.grazie.
So much technique that you can hear here. Damn. She was good. Accessing all the voice, colouring like crazy and carrying like a bell. Tour de force singing.
That‘s how a voice must sound. Who said that Callas had 3 different voice colours? Maybe in other roles or performances but not here!! Her voice is supported by a deep breath and a continuous air pressure along the whole vocal range. That‘s why it‘s powerful and flexible at the same time. The chest participation is, on the contrary some people think, the only way to sing well, to achieve all what your voice is able to give: nice and warm colour, vocal extension, free emission… in summary, a true human voice, not what we are used to hearing in the last times
"Maybe in other roles or performances but not here!!" -- I think there is a lot of truth in this statement. The voice doesn't sound disjointed because this repertory suited her voice like a glove. The problem in heavier repertory (verismo in particular) is that she dragged her chest voice way up in order to compensate for the fact that her voice actually wasn't that heavy, particularly in the middle. In these dramatic bel canto roles, she didn't need to do that. There needs to be chest participation, but it needs to be properly coordinated.
Gracias por compartir este registro, extraordinario , increïble, la Callas, como siempre al servicio del arte. Y, al que no le guste, pues que no lo escuche. Saludos

What can I say about Callas? On this recording she was at its best and she was in many terms the best of the recording era of the 20th century, no doubt. Before that, we dont know. She was the best at this role, but no one is mentioning Caballé, and although Sutherland and others were great, for me, only surpassed by Callas in these role... Caballé was the best or the second best. But this is only my humble opinion, from a guy from Spain. Bravissima Callas.
Pleinement d'accord avec ASerranobaritone et Marx. Quant à la versatilité de Callas relevée par tant de critiques "bien intentionnées" (!!!) il s'agit moins d'un défaut que du reflet, sur tous les plans humains, de la richesse de sa personnalité - donc, dans son cas, d'abord musicale et vocale. Par ailleurs, les chanteurs lyriques, travailleurs infatigables, ne sont pas des dieux. Parce qu'ils sont humains, ils peuvent être très "journaliers". À l'inverse, parce qu'ils sont humains, et précisément dans le précieux enregistrement présent à tout jamais, et en raison de toute l'antériorité de leur Art, ils atteignent des sommets insurpassables que nous nommons "divins". Merci d'avoir gardé l'enregistrement de cette répétition (en réalité tout un monde) et de nous l'offrir en partage.
Just a rehearsal? Nobody, not even Montserrat sang this better. And mind you, this is a sloppy 1957 recording during rehearsal. Not a well rehearsed and soundtechnically well prepared1981 concert recording like Montserrat. Who was divine as well
Io non trovo affatto impeccabile la Callas in questa interpretazione. Ed ho soprattutto molte riserve sulla direzione di Gavazzeni, che mise in scena un’opera mutila persino dell’overture. Ma, signori, dobbiamo solo inchinarci difronte al coraggio ed alla professionalità di un soprano che ebbe il coraggio d’interpretare un’opera mai messa in scena negli ultimi 80 anni e soprattutto mai registrata. Prima di criticare, bisognerebbe informarsi.
La direzione e' di Nicola Rescigno e non di Gavazzeni, sono prove del concerto di apertura della stagione a Dallas e l'Anna Bolena e' il vertice interpretativo di Maria Callas in assoluto. Prima di dire scemenze bisognerebbe informarsi. E la Callas e' sempre impeccabile.
O.k., CallaS WAS GREAT, sometimes, in her older days, I preferred Joan Sutherland. Nowedays - nobody - nobody - would get the chance - the chance - to become more known than Callas - even if she would sing a lot "better" than Callas. Opera is dieing.
Opera is already dead, not just because there are no singers, no scene directors, etc. Opera is dead, because the people that go to the opera today, don't know shit about what they are listening and applaud all the crab that we have today and the crab that we have today, is because the people that attend to opera don't know shit.
Callas never stops to amaze me. This singing is godly.
Tears flow for her Anna at the flute obbligato “chi si duole?”. God in Heaven sang through her!

Maravillosa como siempre la Callas. Divina😍

Fabulosa María Callas
La migliore Anna Bolena di sempre.
forse è vero ma mi sentirei di istituire un podio di pari merito, su un gradino ci metterei senz' altro la Sutherland, a voi l' altra...
@@alessandropetrignani6300 Absolutely not! Sutherland is nowhere near the greatness that was and is Maria Callas.
La sola Anna Bolena invece!
@@alessandropetrignani6300 Callas dice di più in una frase che Sutherland in tutta un'opera..
@@Lorenzo-be1nm si, ma, amico, Sutherland era una voce terrena, sono escluse sempre le aliene, quella veniva da un' altro pianeta🥰

"...che il sangue versato sarà." Indimenticabile. Bravissima.
Drammaticità e coloratura, fraseggio perfetto e voce potente. Meravigliosa Maria Callas
Anna
Piangete voi? donde tal pianto? … È questo
Giorno di nozze. Il Re mi aspetta … è acceso,
Infiorato l'altar. - Datemi tosto
Il mio candido ammanto; il crin m'ornate
Del mio serto di rose …
Che Percy non lo sappia - il Re l'impose.
CORO
Oh! memoria funesta!

Oh! chi si duole?
Chi parlò di Percy? … Ch'io non lo vegga;
Ch'io m'asconda a' suoi sguardi. - È vano - Ei viene …
Ei m'accusa … ei mi sgrida. Oh! mi perdona …

Un giorno solo

I believe only the rehearsal was recorded. The concert itself wasn't recorded in any way. Hence the occasional moments where she's not singing out.
a defaut c'est bien.. mais peut etre un jour..
This is indeed from the Dallas rehearsals. Even in rehearsal she was stunning!
..Ok thats all rehearsal for today, Im going to sing Sonambula, bye bye... WTF??? Genious...

You should type in the title that it is rehearsal. Maria sings in half of her voice's power
Cette répétition vaut une représentation en ce qui concerne Callas

😍🥰
Dallas et Rescigno inspiraient la Callas
Elle ne s économise pas, elle donne tout, peut être mieux que sur la scène du théâtre, en tout cas aussi bien
Anna Bolena Norma Medea Lady Macbeth... In questi ruoli resterà per sempre insuperabile....
mah....bello avere delle certezze nella vita
@@yurizivago3641 si.....
La Callas è insuperabile in ogni ruolo che ha cantato.
@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 no...non in tutti i ruoli era insuperabile...
@@davideferrari5702 En todos los roles insuperable...menciono una más de entre tantas... la Gioconda. Saludos cordiales.

I believe this is 1958, not 57.
Dallas November 1957. In concert rehearsal. She returned for Medea and Violetta in November 1958.
Just a rehearsal? Nobody, not even Montserrat sang this better. And mind you, this is a sloppy 1957 recording during rehearsal. Not a well rehearsed and soundtechnically well prepared1981 concert recording like Montserrat. Who was divine as well
You have to look for Monserrat Paris concert of 1967 I think, this was absolutely amazing.

What a mess. Is this a rehearsal? Hard to believe such a tired, old sound could come from a 34 year old. But there we are.
