Même si Beverly S'ils ou Sutherland ajoutent plus d'ornements dans cette scène ,c'est Callas qui reste souveraine de façon incontestable , c'est du feu ,de l'électricité ,et la façon de passer du registre aigu au notes les plus graves avec une telle expression .Et la montée des gammes en trilles !!! Expressive ! Soprano dramatique coloratura : voilà c'est elle !

It takes an enormous amount of desire to sing like this. The singer must not sing the music. She must BECOME the music and the character. Callas had the unique ability to inhabit each character she sang...and inhabit every note and expression....so that she lived that moment as if she had invented it. Very few singers are willing or able to go that far.

To say nothing of her Brünnhilde. And if only we had her 1954 La Scala "Lucia" with Karajan in decent sound.

Nearly everyone's voice gives out in the end. But most singers don't push themselves to the limits that Callas did from 1947 (or before--we don't have recorded evidence). No one, no matter who they are, could have the performance history she had from 1947 to 1959 and still have their voice intact.
@Zva267 жыл бұрын
You are absolutely 100% on target. No voice could withstand the demands Callas put on her voice from 1949-1959 and not pay the consequences. But would she have been the legendary Callas if she didn't? Listening to her is like watching a 3D movie ------ she hurls herself right into your face. To his day, she refuses to be forgotten.

She did a studio version of only this scene. I think it’s included on “Mad scenes”. Callas wasn’t very business smart and reacted emotionally when a cooler was required. She had the leverage to force EMI to record some of her famous roles but didn’t or recorded them with lackluster colleagues so the label owner/director Walter Legge could save money. Compare and notice how his wife’s (Elisabeth Schwarzkopf) recordings were carefully produced withe best casting and conducting available. Callas deserved better!
