Callas has ruined the other singers for me. I can't help coming back to her after listening to other performances. She is simply too divine and irresistible.
OHHHHHHHHH my gosh I seriously agree, I feel like...... gosh i fr dont know how to describe it or where to begin w words but either way man, when i listen to arias i always come back to maria
Not only the female voice of the century but a great actress. The eyes, the smile, a hand gesture could convey more meaning than most modern actresses. She could stand in silence mentally preparing for the role and there was electricity in the theatre. We bought seats but only used the edge. RIP La Divina 53 years later nobody has come near you.
+Vartan1309 If you look after the final act she is tired and tested! What gave to opera as an artist was more than human expectation, being herself the same opera.
Actually it is often said she hated it and ended up singing only bcause her mother made her to but in the end it was all she knew how to do and kept doing it.
Maria Callas (Greek: Μαρία Κάλλας; December 2, 1923 - September 16, 1977), was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned and influential Opera Singers of the 20th century.
The day my mother and grandmother died in a plane crash (I was but in my early teens studying for finals). Maria Callas's version of this song kept playing in a movie that was on in the background. While the memories of this song are bittersweet, I will say Las Callas's voice and stunning physical beauty were the only calming influences on such a dark day. I don't know if there is a heaven, but it almost felt like a voice from beyond. "Love is a gypsy's child that has never known a law."
Callas was the ultimate opera diva. Her tremendously powerful voice and her superb theatrical talent on stage was something to behold. She was for me the greatest female opera singer of all time!
I've been feeling very suicidal the past year or so, but hearing Ms. Callas' voice warms my heart and even brings a smile to my face, which is so rare these days. Thank you so much for this. I can only hope I'm here to listen to lots of beautiful music (opera), it lets me forget about how much the world hates me and how I feel I don't belong in it, if even for a moment.
@ADOGANDI, I JUST SAW YOUR POST, 10 YRS AGO, I DO HOPE YOU ARE STILL LISTENING, JUST LIKE I AM. LIFE IS A GIFT, YOURS & EVERYONES. WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THIS WORL. LET'S KEEP LISTENING. THAT'S ALL.
Even if there are a lot soprano with very good voice and very good technique , none of them have the "magic" of Maria callas. Her charisma and her high-impact interpretecion are something special and unique. Obviously, it's simply my humble opinion :)
She is ab absolute genius. That voice, but also her acting - the second verse starting at 1:53 - such incredible precision in the gesture, eyes, phrasing, how quickly she shifts from intensity to humour, seriousness to irony and laughing at herself. It is virtually without parallel.
Κάπως έτσι θα μπορούσαμε Callιστα να χωρίσουμε την ιστορία της Όπερας σε δυο χρονικές περιόδους: Στην προ Κάλας εποχή και στην μετά. May you happily sing in heaven Diva 🕊️
God, How good she is!!! Thank God she came down from her soprano voice to mezzo, no one will ever forget that night after the show! Glorious chest voice!!!
Just superb! In college I took a music appreciation course and was introduced to Bizet's music. He composed beautiful music but died thinking he was a failure.
Are you talking about the high pitched ringing sound? That's called squillo!! All of the best singers particularly soprano and tenors have this high pitched ring to their voice that is increased by proper opening of the voice and increased chest voice function, which causes more of the cords to be in vibration which causes a boost to the overtones of the voice, hence the intense ringing sound. The deep cavernous sound you hear is a CORRECTLY lowered larynx! The deeper and more relaxed inhale, the more the pharyngeal constricters relax, opening the throat, and the larynx naturally is pulled down deeply when we inhale deep. The breath coordination must be mastered in a way that would take too long to explain here The easy but incorrect way to lower the larynx is to pull the tongue back into the throat. This makes a dark woofy sound, but you lose the core off the voice and it doesn't project and becomes constricted. The correct way to lower the larynx are with specific muscles in the larynx that push it down. You can think of singing on a deep OO vowel, which will activate the muscles to pull the larynx down. It can go down pretty much as low as you can if you do it right. The semi hard part is keeping the tongue in a relaxed position while doing this. The tongue can never fall back. Instead, the back of the tongue must pull forward, away from the back of the throat, and inversely the tip or front of the tongue must pull back so as to counterbalance the push forward of the back of the tongue. The trick is get the back of the tongue away from the wall of the throat while balancing this forward push of the back of the tongue by pulling the the tip back. Doing it just right opens the voice up so it can be very powerful. Many times on the AH vowel people are inclined to subtly pull the tongue back but this is very bad. Anyway if you get the larynx down very low correctly without pulling the tongue back, you increase space in the pharynx to resonate, creating a more resonant and darker tone, but also increases the potential of the squillo, which is generated by a bigger chest voice function in a higher part of the range while the voice is free and resonating primarily from the pharynx
That is the effect of the echo on the recording. Callas's voice was not vast but usually ample enough. Her skill and magic were in the interpretation. The greatest large voice i ever heard was the great Wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad and more recently Jessie Norman
WOW - she has spoiled me for other women. What a presence - by turns "come hither" and "get out of my face", alluring and outraged. All I can say is the Onassis was one LUCKY s.o.b. She has it all… talk about HOT!!
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this (and any videos of Maria); I fall in love over and over. What a gift it would have been in life to have seen her live!
Quelle splendide et élégante présence sur scène, quelle interprétation dramatique ! Et quelle timbre de voix, unique. Callas a dit : " j'ai appris à chanter grâce à Tullio Serafin, à jouer sur scène grâce à Luchino Visconti". Ce vidéo parle parle de lui-même. Un régal.
I'm not well versed in the genre of opera, and this is my first time hearing this amazing woman sing, but I can already tell you, based on this performance alone, she's in my top 5 vocalist of all time!
That's actually my favorite thing about Maria Callas. Most people love her high notes; it's those wonderfully dark and cavernous chest tones that are amazing to me!
Her eye contact, the clarity of the french lyrics, and the beauty in her facial expression - makes me fall in love with her over and over again. She is truly one of the greates opera singers that ever lived. 😍😍😍
Wow!! this is so powerful! what a singer!- It brings tears to my eyes everything time i hear Maria sing this! Your voice and voice are incredible- Talk about how to hold an audience or what!!!
This year 2023 on December 2nd Maria Callas would be 100 years old. Probably the greatest opera singer of all time had to leave the world far too early at the age of 54, she died of a broken heart
Simplesmente soberba !!! Voz escandalosamente linda e emocionante. Sua expressão, olhar e voz numa sinergia só. Inigualável, supera todas que já cantaram Habanera. Um presente !!!
Legends never die.
Especially Greek Legends

Still the finest, beat mezzo in their own yard...
Facts..
Omg her expression , its like saying : you haven't heard anything yet
Нет слов 🤷♀️БОГИНЯ !!!
She could've started the piece like that! The phrase you wrote can be said in the rhythm of Habanera! ''You ha-ven't heeeard any-thing yet!'' ;-D
I can’t take my eyes off her.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
she looks kinda "naughty"
In a world of operas written in Italian, French, and German, it's amazing that the closest thing to perfection comes from a Greek.
Well, it's not really about understanding what they say so I guess the voice is more important than pronunciation for example
@@stefanox8908 yeah you're right; although Callas was fluent in french so she mastered this Carmen
She was raised in Greece but born in New York.
Of course! We are all European. And the language of Music is universal 🌿
@@nessyvadelg256 from greek parents
Her voice, her dinamics but also her eyes, her face: unsurpassable!
It was a pity that she neglected her gift in favour of Onassis
Orce om o iubea ala avea putere financiara😅😅😅😅😅
Callas has ruined the other singers for me. I can't help coming back to her after listening to other performances. She is simply too divine and irresistible.
Yeap. Totally agree.
she is the best, I have this on vinyl and it is mind blowing..

By far, the best I've ever heard ans seen.
No one can sing Carmen better than Callas.

She could stand in silence mentally preparing for the role and there was electricity in the theatre. We bought seats but only used the edge. RIP La Divina 53 years later nobody has come near you.

I entirely agree with.you.
Divine performance, Maria is the best Carmen ever
Callas is the definition of perfection in opera.....the Gold standard.
👌👌👌
She seems to sing so effortlessly. Not sure if it came that natural to her or she could make it look so natural.
she made it look natural because in her biography, it's clear she practiced non-stop all her life. She lived to sing.
Kaylasa JaguarStar Impressive.
Actually it is often said she hated it and ended up singing only bcause her mother made her to but in the end it was all she knew how to do and kept doing it.
E. A.P. wow I didn't know that
Silmarien Ingoldo Nor did I. That's amazing!
She is just delivering such an incredible performance without even trying.... Maria Callas probably the best opera singer ever!
The best. A true Diva of unsurpassed talent and artistry.
Impeccable! Just her standing alone on stage and she made it an opera scene.
Spot on!
SUCH A POWERFUL SOPRANO!
i just love her facial expressions while singing it!
so much joy in the way she sings it!
classic!
MARIA CALLAS is simply the very best of the very best. Back in those days she did it without a microphone or any other enhancements. BEAUTIFUL.
Ha rappresentato la Carmen.
Una leggenda.
Non c'è altro da dire.
🌹
She made this look so easy... I've got goosebumps... Adore her and her voice.

She is, for many, if not for most, the greatest.
Αναμφιβολα, η κορυφαια τραγουδιστρια όπερας....the GOAT

Too much perfect to be true. What a lady!!!. I do love her facial expressions !!!
After all these years, I have never seen any other artist singing with such grace and expressions like her. She makes it all look effortless! 💕

Could that be summed up as timbre?
Чарующий голос! Величайшая трагическая актриса!
cero esfuerzo , ella es la mejor soprano del todos los tiempos
She gives such good face.
That is because she feels what she sings!!
La presenza scenica, l’eleganza e la più grande voce di tutti i tempi ne fanno La Divina. Indimenticabile.
Callas la diosa griega del canto! Espléndida, la mejor.
I'm not a fan of opera, but of all of them that I have ever heard of, none compares to Marias ❤
1962! But making me cry (tears of joy) in 2018. What a talent!
May she rest in peace.
Певица!!! Поёт потрясающе красавица жаль что в наше время таких Нет
eternamente diosa, por siempre en el firmamento, que lindo volver a escucharla
This is high art. It does not get any better than this. Beyond brilliant. Bravo Maria Callas
Estoy enamorado del canto de Maria Callas. Toda la emoción que tiene me la transmite. No la puedo dejar de escuchar.

A divine voice as none other!
Just superb! In college I took a music appreciation course and was introduced to Bizet's music. He composed beautiful music but died thinking he was a failure.
In the history of recorded opera, she may have the most cavernous voice of all time. 3:43. That voice has its own reverb.
No, Vera; the most cavernous voice is that of the late Kathleen Ferrier, contralto !
