COMMENTAIRE COMPLET : VOIR PREMIER COMMENTAIRE ÉPINGLÉ.
En Gaule, vers 50 avant Jésus-Christ, dans la forêt sacrée des Druides. Le Grand Prêtre Orovese, qui prêche la révolte contre l'occupant romain, invite son peuple à se rendre sur la colline pour fêter la pleine lune, leur chaste déesse. Le proconsul romain Pollione, a eu secrètement deux enfants de la Grande Prêtresse Norma, fille d'Orovese. Volage, il aime maintenant la jeune Adalgise et voudrait l'emmener à Rome - car il ne supporte plus ce peuple de barbares.
Sous la clarté de la lune, Norma coupe le gui avec une faucille d'oc et invite les Gaulois à préserver la paix. Elle dit ensuite à su servante son pouc Pollione, que les druides pourtant mettraient volontiers à mort. Adalgise, amoureuse de Pollione, demande aux dieux de lui épargner cette passion. Mais Pollione la rejoint et elle consent à se sauver avec lui. En tout innocence, elle va se confier à Norma. Évoquant sa propre destinée, Norma lui montre la plus grande compassion... jusqu'à ce que paraisse l'objet de cet amour, Adalgise, enfin mise au courant de la situation, jure de mourir plutôt que de partir avec le traître.
Norma, désespérée, voudrait tuer les enfants que lui a donnés Pollione. Elle n'en trouve pas le courage. Elle fait alors appeler Adalgise et lui demande d'épouser le Romain et d'emmener les enfants. La jeune fille rivalise en grandeur d'âme et promet de persuader le parjure : il reviendra à de bons sentiments! Les deux « rivales se réconcilient pleinement. Orovese apprend l'arrivée d'un nouveau proconsul, encore plus cruel que Pollione. Mais l'heure de la révolte ne tardera plus.
Adalgise a échoué : Pollione veut l'enlever de force. Norma jure de se venger dans des flots de sang et déclenche le grand soulèvement des Gaulois. Il faut aux druides une victime expiatoire : Pollione, arrêté, tiendra ce rôle. Dans un dernier entretien, Norma tente de le fléchir. Vainement : « Plutôt la mort, dit-il, que de renoncer à Adalgise ! » Elle lui montre que sa disparition sera le signal affreux carnage il réclame pourtant le supplice.
Elle appelle alors les Gaulois et fait préparer le bûcher pour une autre victime : une prêtresse qui a renié ses vœux. Elle avoue publiquement sa faute. supplie Orovese d'épargner les enfants et monte au bûcher avec Pollione.
En 1954, Maria Callas est dans la plénitude de sa voix ; elle est aussi à ce moment où elle va faire redécouvrir la vérité du bel canto romantique, débarrassé des traditions véristes, restituant la pureté de la ligne, la science des nuances, l'alchimie des inflexions pour construire un personnage depuis sa peau jusqu'à son sang, jusqu'à sa moelle.

Et là, avec ce rôle qui sera peut-être son plus beau, son plus accompli, elle porte le feu dans cette voix qu'elle plie à toutes les ombres et à tous les éclats : qu'on écoute « « Mira o Norma » et le déchirant « In mia man », ces deux duos, avec Adalgise d'abord, avec Pollione ensuite, dans lesquels Callas calcule l'effet de sa voix pour l'accorder à ses partenaires - génie du théâtre; qu'on écoute, bien sûr, son fameux « Casta Diva » devenu légendaire, où toutes les nuances sont convoquées pour peindre un camée vivant et entendre en filigrane le frémissement qui l'agite.

E un'opera che ogni volta che l'ascolto mi commuove fino alle lacrime,emozionate bellissima questa edizione in particolare.

La differenza tra una grande cantante e la Callas è che basta il recitativo di ingresso di Norma per capire la grandezza della "Divina". Poi procedendo con Casta Diva, duetti ecc. si ha la conferma. Molte altre soprano hanno cantato Norma in modo meraviglioso, a volte con voce più pulita, pianissimi più dolci, acuti più.... ma una frase della Callas fa capire subito la sua grandezza. Norma è Callas. Lo stesso almeno per Sonnambula, Traviata, Armida, Tosca e forse altre eroine. Quando attacca Casta Diva mi vengono le lacrime agli occhi perché ho sentito decine di altre Casta Diva ma questa emozione solo da LEI
200%❤
Maria diventa il personaggio, la differita fra grande cantante ed Artista.
Admirar a la única soprano asolutta de que se tiene registro en el siglo XX, heredera de las grandes divas que extrenaron las operas de su repertorio es un privilegio de las generaciones que después de su legado continuan admirando sus grabaciones. Sumaba a sus tres octavas y un semi tono, una admirable dicción y una excelente técnica capaz de aligerar la robustez de su voz a límites inigualables. Su voz caia como una contralto en los abismos verdianos, pasaba por la cavernocidad de una mezzo-soprano que le permitía interpretar todo el registro para esa voz sin ningún problema, intretando desde una Carman exepcional a títulos de Rossini con absoluto dominio belcantista sin apartarse del color necesario para darle al persona el énfasis necesario. Superlativa en el registro de soprano dramática que le hizo merecer ser la exhumadora de óperas tan complejas como Macbeth o Nabucco. Su registro de soprano lírica y de coloratura dejó sus mejors momentos en óperas tales como Traviata, Aida, Tosca, Manon Lescaut, Forza del destino, La Gioconda, sin olvidar su sublime Norma y la inigualable Medea de Cherubini. Sus notas de soprano ligera sumado a una facilidad inigualable para aligerar la voz indispensable para maravillar en la Sonambula y Lacmé. El robusto caudal vocal, su musculatura laringea incomparable le permitió cantar en la Fenice de Venecia, cuando aún su carrera estaba dando los primeros pasos La Walkiria de Wagner y a la semana maravillar al mismo público con una Elvira de I Puritani de Bellini cuya tesitura está en las antípodas del genio aleman. Su Lucia di Lammermoor es inigualable. Operas como Il Pirata de Bllini o Armida de Rossini no pudieron ser igualadas nunca más. Elizabeth Schwarkopf, eximia soprano alemana, al escuchar a Callas en La Traviata, en la Arena di Verona, al salir dijo que ella no cantaría nunca más esta ópera. Al preguntarle el reportero por qué decia eso, ella respondió: para que intentar cantar lo que María hace en forma superlativa e inigualable. Elvira de Hidalgo, su maestra le mudó su técnica y expriencia en el bel canto tradicional y esto, sumado a sus dotes de gran actriz, la convirtieron en la Divina.
Hormis la fantastique et sublime Maria Callas, la direction de Serafin (orchestre) et surtout la direction de chœur de Vittore Veneziani sont exceptionnelles.
La Divina musica di Vincenzo Bellini cantata e interpretata divinamente da Maria Callas & Co. Un' edizione della Norma come questa nei giorni odierni c'è la possiamo semplicemente scordare.
Callas had the most exciting voice of the 20th century . You knew it was😢her😢from the first note.
J'adore! Everytime I sing Bellini or Verdi or Puccini, it’s impossible for me not to be inspired by the great Maria. There's always a bit of her in every note I play
Le 3 ore più grandi di tutta la lirica
La voce di Maria Callas è celestiale
Callas, =The supreme voice of all Time ❤️👑🌏🙏👏👏👏👏
Salutări din partea unui mare fan al Mariei Callas.
Eu am această înregistrare pe CD de la EMI, dar prezenta masterizare are un sunet mai bun.

La Divina at her best!!!!!
Maria Calas, a goddess of opera singing.
Questa musica è immortale, vivrà per sempre. Grazie Iutuble che ci dà la possibilità di asccottarla.
There will never be another Norma to compare with Callas. I just wish they had chosen another tenor rather than Filippeschi for this recording. Callas first sang Bellini's Norma in 1948, when she was just 25. She went on to perform the role of the heroic, but vulnerable Druid priestess -the ultimate embodiment of bel canto - more frequently than any other. In the second studio recording her conductor was again Tullio Serafin (he originally tutored her in the role in 1948), and the venue was again La Scala - where the opera was premiered in 1831. By 1960, Callas brought a wealth of new nuance to her interpretation, and she is aptly partnered by the creamy-voiced Christa Ludwig (in a rare recording of an Italian role) and the towering Franco Corelli.
La mayoría de los comentarios se refieren al gran momento que atravesaba la Callas en el 54. Cierto. Pero insisto, aún si María Callas en las peores etapas de su carrera hubiera decidido, no cantar la Norma, sino recitarla, declamarla, seguiría siendo mil veces mejor que todas las sopranos de hoy día . La Callas es y seguirá siendo EXTRAORDINARIA!!!Gracias❤❤❤

@@ThatOneGuyRAR Based
норма моя любимая опера но в исполнении м каласс нет слов чтоб передать мой восторг от прослушивания этой прекрасной оперы спасибо за счастье что была в театре милана
la plus belle voix de l'opéra
Vincenzo Bellini, il cigno catanese 😍 ❤️ e la grande voce di Maria Callas ❤️!
A parte che la famiglia bellini erano di origini abruzzesi Vincenzo nipote d'arte appartiene al mondo intero,grazie maestro per la bellissima opera.
Ovvio che appartiene al mondo intero, come tutti i più grandi geni, compositori ed artisti esistiti ed esistenti. Detto ciò ribadisco che Vincenzo Bellini, detto il cigno catanese, nacque a Catania (città che lo ama e lo omaggia intintolandogli il suo meraviglioso teatro lirico). Il nonno, Vincenzo Tobia Nicola Bellini (di origini abruzzesi), fu un celebre compositore di musica sacra. Ingaggiato dal mecenate catanese Ignazio Paternò-Castello V, principe di Biscari, si trasferisce definitivamente a Catania dove conosce la moglie, la catanese Michelina Burzì, dalla quale ebbe cinque figli. Il primogenito Rosario, compositore minore, sarà a sua volta padre del ben più celebre Vincenzo.
@@danielaardizzone2687 Non se la prenda perchè conosco bene la storia di bellini,posso aggiungere che gli studi al conservatorio di napoli vennero pagati dal comune di Catania,e morto giovane avesse vissuto come alcuni suoi colleghi penso non ci sarebbero stati eguali,mi permetto di consigliare di ascoltare(i Puritani Callas Di Stefano del 1952,mi scuso non volevo irritarla.
A beautiful voice. Music is a universal language.
Absoluta diva, hasta hoy año 2021 no aparece nadie que la supere. Insuperable!!!.

This is my favourite Callas recording of all time. This is it!
@milanetc4865: You should check out the stereo 1960 version, the MADAMA BUTTERFLY recording and several live ones like the 1955 LA SONNAMBULA conducted by Bernstein.
Thanks. I prefer her vocals in the 1954 recording. Yes, I do like the 55 Butterfly.@@johnpickford4222
OMG I am speechless at the beauty of this.
Absolutely delightful. A wonderful gift shared with us. Maria Callas, a name that will never be forgotten. I am not an 'opera buff' but I know what I like and her voice is simply enthralling.
Sublime!!!!!!!
Her voice is the best ever.
@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 During these dreadful times I am enjoying my new found delight in opera. I have noticed that I am favouring the singers from the past. Am I being biased? Nomatter, it is all wonderful.

В такие моменты понимаешь, какое везенье сейчас жить! Благодарю за возможность слушать!)
спасибо за ваш комментарий :-)
Hello how are you doing today 💖
Божественная Каллас по сердцу скребёт. И в "Норме" как бриллиант сверкает. И так красиво напевает. Что за душу берет
Une des plus grandes oeuvres de l'histoire de l'opéra et une divine interprète. Maria Callas une des plus grandes interprètes de «Casta Diva». Merveilleux !
Je pense qu'il faudrait écrire 'la plus grande interprète de Casta Diva'.
I've been listening to this recording for 30 years and I still discover nuances of her vocalism.
¡me emociona tanto que lloro cadavez que la escucho,no tendrian que morir genios asi!
!
200%❤
Yes, I agree with finding nuances that is only from Diva Maria. Other singers pale.
Wunderschön....es ist göttlich danke
Fantástica essa gravação! Há muito gosto de Fado, de Bocelli, de Pavarotti em sua versões mais populares...Mas, de Ópera, fiquei encantada depois de ouvir "La Divina" Callas brincar, sem dificuldades, de subir e descer sua voz. Em sua melhor fase, ela não era desse mundo! Tinha uma voz superba, de anjo!
Callas estaba en la plenitud en esta histórica grabación. Imposible no estremecerse, llorar incluso, escuchándola. Gracias por subir estos inolvidables momentos.
Божественный голос , он уносит меня ввысь, я перестаю ощущать своё тело- только душа….
MARIA UNICA PER SEMPRE
Uma das óperas mais lindas que eu conheço. MAJESTOSA!!!👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing this divine beauty with us, mortals.
Callas and Norma, Wonderful excerpts to discover the work : 40:48 ; 1:17:37 ; 1:27:35 ; 1:29:09 ; 1:43:22 ; 1:49:31 ; 1:53:29 ; 2:12:16 ; 2:23:46 ; 2:24:23 ; 2:29:22 ; 2:42:43.. On 30th November 1948 the young Maria Callas made her debut in Bellini’s Norma at the Teatro Communale in Florence under the direction of Tullio Serafin, who prepared the 25-year-old soprano for that exacting role after her studies with Elvira de Hidalgo in Athens. Callas revived the Romantic bel canto style in a truly revolutionary manner with her individual voice and vast vocal range which extended from high coloratura to heavy, dark dramatic soprano.
The tenor Mirto Picchi was her first Pollione and his memoirs vividly describe the elation of both public and critics alike after that first night in Florence. Zaffirelli has said ‘’Maria identified with Norma greatly. In a way it was her own story. Maria, after all, is a high priestess of her art. Yet, at the same time, she is the most fallible of women. Very human. As Norma, Maria created the maximum of what opera can be. In a lifetime, one can see many great things in the theatre, but to see Maria Callas in Norma, what is there to compare to it ?

We are humbly permitted to experience the Manifestation of the Divine on Earth ............
to quote : Music is an art from heaven.
@@classicalmusicreference No, I'm pretty sure he just means Callas.
XxSaruman82xX yes La Divina is her nickname
The Great Callas. La Divina. In those days we had giants in opera. Today there are only pygmies.
All true unfortunately. There are some very good singers today but very few and not in the realm of Italian opera which is a dead art.
@@TheVaughan5 Maybe dead to you, but not to others. Yes, good singers, but the kind who will be remembered and cherished for generations to come? Doubtful. Only time will tell, but I've yet to hear anyone singing now who makes me forget Callas, Sutherland, Nilsson, Te Kanawa, Fleming or Domingo, Bruson, Cappuccilli, Diego Flores, Caruso, Pavarotti, Milnes, Di Stefano, Corelli, MacNeil, Chernov, Diaz, Ghiaurov, Furlanetto, Morris, well, I could go on and on.
@@uppityglivestockian Yes people who applaud the most woeful singing today have no idea what the art of Italian opera is or should I say was all about. It's most likely that the few good singers today won't be remembered because as I say the art is dead so they are exceptions to the rule and don't enjoy the following or fan base that the greats of the past had. Today's opera is all about freak producers, the singers are secondary.
@@TheVaughan5 Right, the classic Italian vocal pedagogy has been abandoned for who knows how long now. It looks, to me, as if classic vocal pedagogy is still strong and prolific in the Caucasus Region, i.e., Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, and so on.
@@TheVaughan5 Freak producers and regie-vandals. It's insufferable.
My goodness! So sweet and adorable! I am in paradise, really))

+Classical Music -- Thank you very much for sharing this rare masterpiece. Such gems should not be lost to future generations. I appreciate you doing your part to preserve the West's heritage of great works of music. Long live the voice of Callas!
Hello how are you doing today 💖
Thank you .. Bravissimo Grande Tenor .. MARIO FILIPPESCHI
Amazingly beautiful! Listening to how Bellini nurtures the beauty of a melody here, I can understand why Chopin so admired Bellini. The most subtle elaboration of the melody results in such beauty.
Also, the interplay between solo voce and chorus is absolutely brilliant. Bellini creates this wonderful beauty of the aria supported by the chorus. So beautiful!
And then of course there’s Callas...
teddy toto Wagner was also a big admirer of Bellini. I forgot what Wagner opera it was, but there is a section in it that sounds like Norma.
viverito yes Wagner said, that Norma would stay forever, which is however somewhat arrogant in itself. I however doubt, that Bellini would have liked Wagner, perhaps he would have admired his unquestionable mastership, but I doubt he would have liked the results of it
@@viverito It's the opposite, a section of Norma that sounds Wagnerian: ua-cam.com/video/hOB3xJ5k8mg/v-deo.html, although plainly Wagner sought the secret of Bellini's technique of continuous melody in Norma, finding it perhaps in Tristan and Die Walkure.
This and the 1960 one are the best two studio recordings of Norma.
@BaroneVitellioScarpia1: Sutherland’s first one with Horne and Alexander is not negligible and shouldn’t be ignored. There is no reason to sacrifice yourself or your reasoning on the alter of Callas.
@@johnpickford4222how about I decide what I listen to Callas is Norma for me after Callas I can’t feel other singers and lot of people feel like me
Callas, easily the best Norma of all time. Filippeschi is not my cup of tea as Polione. Stignani is marvelous as Adalgisa. Great recording, thanks much for sharing. Paz y salud.
Stignani is terrible here, how can you say she is great!? She was old in this recording, the voice is sharp, strident, horror.
La Ebe li mette tutti dietro di sé. Che technica straordinaria che voce bella e assolutamente nello stile.
Alexey Izmirliev non mi stancherò' mai di dire ascoltate la Elena Souliotis e poi fate il paragone Elena superba nessuna come lei

@christianguignard9980: Well we all have are reactions to this but please contain yourself. You won’t be able to get through other recordings.
@@johnpickford4222 The art of commentary is above all that of consciousness. When you have nothing to say that can add to the silence, you have to silent. So shut up. You trouble the music.
Thank you. This is truly sublime.
Muchas gracias classical music
Волшебно!!! ❤❤❤
Me agrada tanto escucharla
Se considera por expertos que la historia de la Ópera se divide entre antes de ella y después de ella, con una voz impresionante, que va desde los tonos de soprano ligera hasta dramática por su registro de voz, único en el mundo, pues, alcanzaba 2 y media escala de registro
BELLEZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maravilhosa!!!!!

Sensacional...
Amoooo!!!!
I love this music
Fantastic
THANK YOU for this! The EMI/Warner sounds so dry/grainy to me. No idea what you did, but this sounds much more pleasant. (Can you please do the same to the Callas Forza del Destino? Please?) 🤗🤗
Hello, I have this recording on CD -EMI, and
I think you are right. This new materized edition
has a better sound. I am a Romanian big fan of
Callas. Best regards, Gabriel D
Will sing it in Morroco soon amazing
@thegoldberg8919: You? Who the heck are you? Is this Anna Netrebko??
Callas is undoubtably in better vocal shape here than in her other NORMA recording six years later. Great as her artistry is here she added even more emotional depth, I feel, to her work in 1960. What IS lacking in the 1954 version is despite fine work from Stignani are the substandard performances from the tenor & bass. PERHAPS it had something to do with the availability of certain artists due to conflicting recording contracts, which is one of many arguments in support of LIVE performances.
Rossi-Lemeni was her standard bass partner for her earlier EMI recordings - Forza del destino, Turco in Italia, Puritani. He was a major artist at a time, perhaps a bit woofy, but always a keen interpreter. Filippeschi was in high demand in Italy as a more robust lyric tenor. I find him interpretively dull and rough, but he was a logical choice. Del Monaco was signed with Decca, and Corelli was still figuring things out and singing for Cetra Soria.
you do realise that other callas' norma recordings exist as well? stop with the studio obsession you all. Callas sang norma live incredibly well in 1949,1950,1952,1953 and 1955 (and other times too) but these are the best live recordings. You all only care about the studio recordings while the live ones are much better especially the 1952 and 1955 recordings

@@Matthew9.__ A lot of people care about sound quality and can’t past the grain and murkiness of older live recordings.
this is bullshit cause many live callas recordings have great audio quality and it's much better listening to them than listening to Callas' voice who had significantly deteriorated a ton by 1960 (studio norma)@@ER1CwC

Heaven on Earth.
The 1960 recording is the reference. Corelli is better than Fillipeschi, the young Christa Ludwig is much more suited to Adalgisa than Stignani, and Zaccaria is more steady than Niccola Rossi-Lemeni. Serafin's conducting is pretty much the same, it's just Callas' voice is definitely fresher in the 1954 recording, but I still think the later recording trumps it.
Ich mag mich nicht entscheiden müssen, wer sagt, dass ich es muss?, der erotische Schönklang von Corelli-Ludwig oder die lodernde Leidenschaft der jüngeren Maria Callas? Was für ein Luxus, dass wir die Möglichkeit haben, auszuwählen.
Tullio Serafin conducts here in slow tempi. Only the singer with solid technical background, and belcanto technique will successfully go through this seemingly simple score.
Today, few singers have even basic musical schooling, not to mention basic belcanto technique - they sing this opera , breaking their voices ang destroying the opera itself.
Zev Targiel so true.
Very sadly true! The art of Bel Canto singing is almost gone now! No more Serafins, no more Callas's. No more of the great artists that truly knew and understood this great school of music. Maybe in another era in the future, it may re-surface. But it will take another Serafin and Callas combination! (And a great teacher like di Hidalgo).
It seems simple but it isn t.....
In those years Callas WAS Norma.
The live recording at la Scala with Del Monaco is fabulous!
@@artdanks I think it’s highly unlikely that great opera singing will ever return simply because the art of teaching has gone. - the fact that a Scala audience can applaud the most dire performance imaginable tells the whole story.
@@TheVaughan5 Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have to agree with you! Sooo sad! I'm glad that we still have recordings of the greats!
Show!!!
Only those who are cultured will enjoy this.
Some sopranos may have had more compact voices, or sweeter voices, or a center more robust, or this or that, BUT, nobody, absolutely nobody could or can SING better than Callas did.... nobody.
Absolutely right. It depends on what "to sing very well means". In case it means beautiful voice, coloratura... other soprano have been better than Callas, but if "to sing very" well means to center the character and to give emotions with one phrase only, Callas has not competitors. This is the difference between great singers and Divina. Armida, Norma, Sonnambula, Tosca, Traviata is my short list of operas that, once heard with Callas all other renditions cannot be compared
@Lorenzo-be1nm: Yeah, every opera singer makes petty decisions (like not working with Searafin because he was obligated to record TRAVIATA and she couldn’t), never recording works unique to her voice (NABUCCO, MACBETTO, ANNA BOLENA or insisting on better colleagues and technology), correcting breathing problems in the late ‘50s, or throwing a career for an affair with a Greek billionaire only to be tossed aside like a cheap mistress. Yes, hardly the perfect person.
Buon compleanno Maria!
Sublime.
