Although I am not a fan of Callas, this is one of my favorites. Here, when she is said have lost her voice, she sings with the heart. This is a very beautiful and touching singing.
How i could see in your eyes that table, the room, the chairs, the embrace, and the joy of that dream that seems lost now...how vividly you depicted that scene for me my dear! Brava!
Maria is the only one capable of calling me to tears from the very first note she bleeds, because she always gave us her soul and blood with her art... Divina!!!
This piece is very much moving the repertoire and her performance in this concert has so much emotion despite its all black and white which is even more dramatic
One added layer of unstated, maybe unconscious sadness here is that she was the cozy table (or maybe the good ol' wagon) that her great love Onassis was starting to leave behind. This is one of her most loving, loveable performances. Thanks for making it available for others to see and enjoy. .
@meltzerboy Thanks for sharing - the low tessitura and mid-volume dynamic find Callas vocally good as she does not produce the wobble and screeching which often distorts her intelligent singing. The entire role IMO would be be poor for her with the higher range and louder dynamics revealing her flaws, But thus piece does Callas justice. tyumenboy thank you for posting and regards-John.
Dessay should take a lesson from Callas. Dessay crawls up on the table, writhes around and almost simulates masturbation and STILL doesn't transmit one iota of the emotion that Callas gives us here. I'm not being critical to be mean, but I just find Dessay's interpretation to be so vulgar.
This is one of the many reasons why Maria Callas is and always will be a legend. Amazing!
I've never been a Callas fan, but this is very beautiful and moving. Perfect French language and style. Simple, understated, and very emotional.

I love hearing her sing in French. It's like rubbing my head against the softest silk.
@meltzerboy
Her greatness is undeniable... especially so here!
THANK YOU!

3 minutes of wrenching heartbreak.
She is unbelievable...amazing!!
With the music and the voice and one's soul. It doesn't take much movement or messing around to convey the emotions of this incredible piece.
flawless!!!!!!!! Sheer Perfection!!
I've never been a big fan of Callas but this is great....
Enchanting! Divine!
Magic!
there's no crying like hers!
Lump in my throat ... beautiful!

@sweetsoprano1211 I know! Why did she stop!? She could still sing VERY WELL.
MA di questo concerto ci sono solo tre brani?

She probably only did what the stage director asked, though... (but that doesn't change how much emotion is transmitted or not)
