EN EL TEATRO COLON FUE LA PRIMERA OCASION EN QUE SE GRABÓ EN VIVO LA VOZ DE MARIA CALLAS.Y EL PRIMER TEATRO EN CONTRATARLA LUEGO DE SU DEBUT EN ITALIA.
Tulio Serafin, uno de sus mentores era regular en sus intervenciones dentro de las temporadas del Colón, por entonces. Como director artístico no hubiera elegido a otra Norma, ya la tenía probada en varios roles absolutos con excepcional rendimiento desde Ponchielli hasta Wagner. Sin Serafín jamás hubieramos escuchado a la Callas en nuestro teatro. No supongamos que las direcciones del primer coliseo son ahora peores que antes, solo que por entonces, nos visitaban los mejores directores y como huracanes arrastraban con lo mejor que llegaba a estas tierras.
If you start here and listen to this scene at each point we have documentation of it you will hear the exquisite development of this great artist. She constantly refined her phrasing, her use of vocal dynamics, her emotional communication, and her understanding of Norma. While this recording demonstrates probably the greatest vocal performance of this scene ever recorded, many of her later recordings more fully bring the character to life and differentiate more subtly the many emotions of this scene. Even if she had continued to only hone the vocal aspects without bringing her other interpretive aspects more fully into this role she would have been the greatest of all Normas.
I totally agree with your wise comment- let me add that the voice is very powerful and well controlled here, but maybe the "timbro" is not as charming and varied as it was in her most glorious years ,and up to the end, for that! I suppose she kept working on the sound of her voice, that she- reportingly- did not love at all
@@cliffgaither Not as early as this and Ross certainly did not have the full emotional range or technical skills for the role, although relevant to the horrible singers who were singing it in the 40s she was quite fine.
I am surprised that Serafin cut the "Fine al rito" section. Callas was clearly, even this early, ready to sing it and Serfarin rarely cut recitativs. I wonder if the opera house did not realize what they had and asked for the cuts.
love the plateno accent: ca"jj"as ... but the voice is there, unique, and remember the Colon is a huge theater...but not her best performance on record.
Siete años después en total declive? Y quién ha cantado mejor que ella.? Si es verdad lo que dices la peor María Callas es mejor que todos los cantantes modernos de hoy día, saludos cordiales
@@laprimmadonna2341 ...Callas non ha mai conosciuto declino. Qualche nota mal riuscita non e' un declino. Per gli altri soprani forse, no, sicuramente.
When a singer with a huge voice who has learned to sing and perfected their technique while on the larger side loses 1/3 of her body mass in less than a year while singing the most demanding repertoire, the rapid decline is inevitable.
La soprano eterna, en un teatro soñado,en un país maravilloso! Gracias a Dios por su música!❤❤❤
Aveva appena 25 anni ed era già un gigante. In pochi anni sarebbe diventata una dea. Grande Maria ❤️

The absolute greatest of all time!
Wow brava callas I love this! Such a huge voice and power ❤
It's amazing to think that Callas was 26 y/o at this time.
How wonderful to hear young Callas with an exquisitely controlled vibrato even on the highest notes!

Great chest voice throughout the whole range of the voice. She sounds very strong here. Brava!🎉❤🎉
Une voix et une technique phénoménale à cette époque .Je pense que personne n'avait jamais entendu Norma chantée comme cela .
Elinor Ross !!

26 years old 😱
Ni tragedia, ni dolor…GRANDIOSA, PORTENTOSA, EXTRAORDINARIA, la Callas…gracias por este histórico registro. Saludos cordiales
❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤
DIVINA! DIVINA!! DIVINA!!!
A 25 anni già grandissima voce e grande interprete! Non aveva più nulla da imparare! Come tutti i grandi artisti ERA NATA ARTISTA!
Wonderful wonderful thank you
che meraviglia!!!, grazie per averlo postato
Maria Callas: diva atemporal
Callas, meravigliosa ed inarrivabile voce
Нет слов!!!как здорово, что остались такие записи. Это торжество вокала
Cierto…menos mal que hay estos registros. Saludos cordiales ❤❤❤
Maria CALLIAS !
Funny pronunciation with the spanish "elle".
I am surprised that Serafin cut the "Fine al rito" section. Callas was clearly, even this early, ready to sing it and Serfarin rarely cut recitativs. I wonder if the opera house did not realize what they had and asked for the cuts.
This is a live recording so the music only goes as far as the length of the tape...
Fantastic
Única y "Soberana" en NORMA " Casta Diva " Armando Cerutti - barítono
INIGUALABLE......
❤❤❤👏👏👏
Would love to hear this without the stereo effect. It's too much and it echoes
How did you find this masterpiece! Her voice is in youthful form.
love the plateno accent: ca"jj"as ... but the voice is there, unique, and remember the Colon is a huge theater...but not her best performance on record.
According to you...
sogno
Trade Market. Sua voz inconfundível. Então no Casta Diva de Bellini é única.
Quién habrá sido el energúmeno que anuncia los nombres de los cantantes al inicio y NO SABE NI CÓMO SE PRONUNCIA "CALLAS" !!!!!!!!
Horrible distortion of Callas' voice!
@@nanacherryl8284 I am speaking about the very bad remastering of the recording, not of Callas' voice. I agree, she was great back in 1949.
What a tragedy that her glory years were so short. 7 years later she was in total decline.
Nothing Is forever 😬
Her voice decline will start 10 years later not 7!

Esto lo prueba, horrible!!!
who's horrible?
De qué estás hablando?
Si la grabacion es horrible.
Hacete operar las orejas
@@mateodedios4507 Tal vez necesites escuchar más ópera y no fanatizarte. Tal vez mi oídos sean más sensible a los agudos bien dados!!!
