In a world full of fuller louder voices, she made a difference with her delicacy, beautiful phrasing, vocal fluency (both ease and clarity on every note she'd sing). On a personal note, the most beautiful timbre of all, delivered with finesse and pose. My absolute favourite.

@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Callas had a horrible voice, so dark, so metallic, hard to bear.
@ingenieroguzman38064 жыл бұрын
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia People that really don't know about Classical Voices always say that Callas is the best jajajajajajaja, please listening more Soprano's voices, there are many Sopranos with better Voice Quality than Callas. Many Opera experts have coincided that Callas had an ugly, dark and metallic voice, her high notes are so bothering. it seems you don't know Norman, Price, Tebaldi, Freni, Peters, Gruberova, Milanov, Dessay, Popp, Serra, Moffo, etc, etc, these were really beautiful voices!. Callas maybe could be the best actress but the best singer, NEVER! ...
@ingenieroguzman38064 жыл бұрын
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia OMG!... How you dare! .. Edita is considered one of the best Queens of the Night and Coloratura Soprano ever, she continued singing until she had 70 years old and Callas lost her voice at the age of 50 :D ! ... Price, Norman, woofy? .. Price was one of the best Aidas! .. Norman was one of the best Wagnerian's! ...No, no!, now I can understand why you like the ugly voice of Callas. Yes, Callas had a powerful voice but horrible color! ...
@ingenieroguzman38064 жыл бұрын
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia nop, the best Queens of the Night are Luciana Serra and Diana Damrau, The best Aida is Price, Kirsten Flagstad yes could be but Norman was absolutely stunning as Wagnerian. Yes, Callas lost her ugly voice when she was 50 and for that reason she was depressed and died at 54. Callas's Life always was controversial, polemical, scandalous, and her voice showed her sadness. Callas never gonna be the best, NEVER!.

Adrian Vargas yes, I was just thinking the same. I’m new to opera. I’ve been spending days listening to versions of this beautiful piece. I think that this is the first one that truly reflects the story and I can easily imagine that this is the voice of the young girl singing to her father. She sings beautifully and simply - without trying to convince people that she can.

@mgolden56303 жыл бұрын
@@rubi588 HI: Opera singers are trained, and they know how to use the instrument they have, that is their mouth and throat and all to create beautiful sounds. It is not something to say that looks odd. she is not speaking, but singing. That is how they use their instrument, which is God Given. If you look at other professionally trained singers, you will note that they have similar traits. It is what they do and it may look strange, but they are trained.

Aside from her typically sublime performance I noted that Ms. Battle curtsied when she took the stage, which I found to be very charming. That, her impeccable carriage, and her elegant attire all exuded class. How many female performers still do that in the world of classical music? By way of contrast, Yuja Wang often appears onstage dressed like a performer in a Las Vegas lounge act, which does a disservice to the music that she plays, the composer, the audience and, most of all, herself.
