thank you very much :) i've actually just discovered her incredible trovatores - there is so much material available, i haven't heard nearly enough of it. Part two is in development :) and thank you for the recommendations - i'll listen to them all!
Legend has it that her High E flat at the end of Aida, pissed Baum off something fierce. To have been a fly on that wall....and seen his face after she hit the note.
@@brunobalzano7566 Callas performed Aida on record in Mexico City in both 1950 and 1951. In 1950, the tenor was Kurt Baum, who was holding out his notes longer than written to show off (there's plenty of examples from the recording to corroborate that). Thus, Callas sang the E-flat to basically tell him off after he had more or less pissed off the entire cast (and after both the other cast members and director had agreed that she should do it).
LA DIVINA is LA DIVINA Omdat zij haar ziel en zaligheid haar hele zijn en stem aan het publiek schonk !! Zij dacht niet zoals andere sopranen die hun stem spaarde om zo lang mogelijk geld te verdienen.
HARRY K no no no, you have to read her biography, her professional debut was in 1938 in Cavalleria Rusticana, and until 1959 she had good voice although the best was until 1953. She sang operas of Wagner, Bellini, Puccini, Glück, Donizetti, Mozart, Amilcare Ponchielli, Verdi, Rossini... then they’re more or less 20 good years but almost anyone know that she lost her voice not for her technique or her lost weight, she had a disease called dermatomyositis that gets old all muscles in the body including the muscles in throat that make you sing. It’s not my theory, there are medical reports about that, you can search it on internet.
@@marcoscorvo2514 Even in those less good years, Callas' singing is still superb than those modern cardboard stars of no chest voice. She is the most dynamic soprano in addition to all other titles on her.
That's what makes Callas better than all the rest. No matter how often we might hear the "same ol' stuff", it never gets old or tiring! I always hear something new. Can't say that for today's singers!
Dark passion, Maria Callas, gift from Above!

Aida, Mexico City 1951. The tenor was Mario del Monaco (not Baum), and this is the final of the 2nd act.

I think the power of her voice would've squashed you-
Queen Callas ❤

goodness gracious (gasp )..............................................
Medea's 2nd act finale from 1953 is missing here. But 👏
Sadly, her vocal glory lasted only 6 years (1949-1955) but her artisty never stopped. A legend of all legends.

@@marcoscorvo2514 Marco, thanks for educating me. Poor lady, to have that much talent and lose her voice to a disease. I ljust love her artistry.
HARRY K 😊😘thanks to you

@@道-p2e yes of course, she is the best soprano in the whole history. I love her with all my heart
@sillyboydeux Good idea :)
Always the same stuff. Nothing new.
Do you need new records? You may be surprised, But Maria has already died for 41 years.
That's what makes Callas better than all the rest. No matter how often we might hear the "same ol' stuff", it never gets old or tiring! I always hear something new. Can't say that for today's singers!
I never get tired listening ¡¡¡ she's unique
@@3uHo4ka I probably her live recordings more than anybody else in the world, don't worry!
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia I agree on that!
