Some others could sing it beautifully... But for me at least it's only Callas who conveys every single time the sense that this is a prayer, not just a beautiful melody. Thank you for sharing!
Callas middle voice was COLOSSAL before she lost weight. Only Tebaldi and Flagstad could compare to her when it comes to easiness, size, and beauty when it comes to middle voice. But on top of that she could sing the most difficult coloratura passages like no one could.
robert111k No tenia una voz Bella en el sentido esteriotipado que se pueda tener sobre lo que debería ser una voz “bonita” pero déjame señalarte que tu afirmación es totalmente subjetiva y exclusiva responsabilidad tuya. Es paralelo a qué una persona diga que las ostras le parecen el manjar más sublime y yo diga que el sabor y textura de las ostras me resulta asqueroso. En el caso de la voz de Callas me resulta milagroso, de belleza caprichosa y exclusiva para sensibles.
robert111k la parte de tu punto de vista queda clara pero eso no impide que yo te contradiga por qué tu opinión no es absoluta y si la estás publicando cualquiera puede cuestionarla. Decís que lo de menos en Callas fue el instrumento pero no volvió a surgir en 70 años más otra que cante de manera insuperable roles como Medea y traviata simultáneamente, creo que te quedas corto con tu análisis y también creo que ella fue víctima de campañas muy sucias y envidia descomunal por la impotencia que causaría a otros y otras quedar 100 % eclipsados por esa genio Te reitero su instrumento fue un caso único no existen más casos así y es casi imposible entrenar ese tipo de voces hoy en día con los burros que quedan enseñando
@@robert111k La voz de Callas era NATURALMENTE mas grande que la de Nilsson pero la technica de Callas le impedia cantar pesado. Ella nunca nunca y nunca y jamas de los NUNCA queria cantar pesado porque eso significaria que la coloratura iba a abandonar su voz. Callas siempre canto liviano ni con el medio volumen de su voz natural. Nilsson en la otra mano entre mas volumen metia para ella eso significava que mejor estaba cantando motivo por el cual su voz NUNCA tubo coloratura y nunca pudo cantar Norma. Sonar METALICA, dramatica y ENORME cuando solo usas 1/4 de tu volumen es la DEFINICION DE UNA VOZ GIGANTE y asi es como Callas la usaba.
Perfecta, Callas logró plasmar en cada una de sus interpretaciones la verdadera intencion de los escritores, hay cantantes que cantan bien, otras que cantan bonito, otras mas que cantan con sentimiento, Callas unificaba todas esas cualidades sin esfuerzo alguno, tan precisa y natural, la soprano mas completa de todos los tiempos, La Divina!!!
Legato phrases that are incredibly supported through the most difficult ebbs and flow of this virtuoso aria. Full open, gargantuan middle voice with the most musical and accurate agility possible.
1:53 the agility of vocalization as opposed to the immense weight of the Voice... reminded me the comment of a "heavy wheeler taking turns as a Ferrari".. she executes the vocalizations so fast..
Maria era nel suo splendore vocale assoluto.... un dono del cielo ed una potenza resa magicamente duttile da una grande scuola. I colori, gli attacchi, il legato, il fraseggio e le arcate del suono sono irripetibili....Le agilità di forza sono piene e ben modulate, non pigolate come spesso ascoltiamo oggi....Bel modo di iniziare l'anno. Grazie Bodiloto
lei capiva il ' fraseggio' e il ' tempo diverso ' dei diversi compositori, il suo era uno studio quasi filologico della partitura, della frase musicale e rendeva proprio il personaggio.
Simplemente DIVINA!!! Las óperas se escribieron adivinando que solo una voz podría interpretarlas tal y como existían en la mente de los compositores. POR SIEMPRE MARÍA CALLAS.
Great singing. Maria was at her top indeed!Every “new Norma performer” should Study this rendition in order to understand Bellini.La Divina...divina indeed!Thanks for sharing!!
I have Heard all Sopranos on this! Here on You tube! and I Came down to Only Three !Muzio! Ponselle! and Last but, not least Callas! Young Sopranos Should Listen over and over Again! to these Beautiful! Marvelous Perfection ! Truly Singing Directly into Our Hearts! It Only Can Be Achieved by Suffering Through agony!One Day I'd Love to See all these Greats! Being with Composers! for the first time Together! and seeing them Performing! In Front! What a Great! Joy !That would Be! I wonder! if even its Possible!
Me too. Too much high without strength in the middle and lower seems unbalanced to me and also lacking in strength and passion. I often prefer Mezzo, but Callas had it ALL and refined her extraordinary instrument and technique to perfection through intense study and grueling work. There is no one like her.
little? endless :p Much more recorded 1954 and backward than forwards... it is just that RUclips people are Imbeciles and post her only when she had lost her Voice completely :D
@@LohengrinO I like her from before 1954 most, but there is not too much around.The force of her voice and her flexibility are obvious to even a naive listener like me. I like Jessey Norman as well, but I have otherwise no knowledge about good opera singing. Usually I'm mostly into rock music, just having a fascination for beautiful voices and good singing, too. If you compare Mrs. Callas with contemporary sopranos, from you expert opinion, where are they now?

Кожного величного майстра інструментального вокала підводить фізіологія, коли м'язи відповідаючі за чутливість до виконання нюансів емоційного стану втрачають, поступово або прогресуючі, здатність виконувати свої функції. У випадку Марії Каллас вичерпався психологичний ресурс людини, що знаходилася у постійному стресі і її перехід від Норми до Віолети був бажанням відійти блище до образу людини, що вимушена виживати, а не жити повноцінним життям. Фізичні сили і психологичний стан зайшли у протиріччя. Вона це безумовно розуміла, але вести відновлення до Норми не знаходилося сил.

I prefer her 1955 Norma to ALL but my main aim in this channel as well as my presence in youtube regarding Callas was always to show the vocal phenomenon she was in her early, healthy years, something that people seem to forget because her later recordings have better sound (but she is in vocal decline)
I fully agree , but sometimes I am rather lost : I much prefer her (studio) version of Lucia , directed by Serafin in 1953 to the 1955 (live) one directed by von Karajan and , which according to the legend/:history, she herself placed highest ??? And by the way I am sorry to say so but her Farewell tournee (especially the 1973 performance in London) was very touching , but vocally an utter disaster ! Only my own personal feeling of course .
Some others could sing it beautifully... But for me at least it's only Callas who conveys every single time the sense that this is a prayer, not just a beautiful melody. Thank you for sharing!
Casta Diva becomes Casta Diva only when La Callas sings it
Callas middle voice was COLOSSAL before she lost weight. Only Tebaldi and Flagstad could compare to her when it comes to easiness, size, and beauty when it comes to middle voice. But on top of that she could sing the most difficult coloratura passages like no one could.
Let's not forget how beautiful Callas' voice was when she was younger
Oui, mais elle est restée musicale, expressive et émouvante toute sa vie
Amen!

One quite simply forgets to breathe while listening to her breathtaking fantasy...

Giuseppe Di Marco My three most loved.
Clara petrella also
The one and only, the best singer of all time.
I've always loved deep natural timbre on a soprano.
Me too. Too much high without strength in the middle and lower seems unbalanced to me and also lacking in strength and passion. I often prefer Mezzo, but Callas had it ALL and refined her extraordinary instrument and technique to perfection through intense study and grueling work. There is no one like her.
A heavenly start to 2017....thank you so much!!!!!!....

Perfetta! Come sempre...
What a pity there is so little recorded pre 1954.

@@krollpeter again... there are endless recordings of Callas prior to 1954
Callas, unica nella dedizione al suo lavoro e inarrivabile con la sua voce "brutta" ma la sua tecnica ineguagliabile!
As always, she is perfection. Orchestra is a mess.
Very true !
unica divina dolce maria
The supreme Voice 😍

she has really nice cheekbones
The whole boney structure of her face was perfect.
Nicholas Ennos what the fuck. Is every female singer a man to you, conspiracist?
Ripeto. Voce ancestrale ,,,,,, Mari
i finally found it...
you lost your button?
Lohengrin O lol.

merci
Is this her London 1952 interpretation of the role? It sounds like her first Norma recording released in 1949.
Es la grabación de 1953 en la Scala? Maravillosa!!!
This was when she still had it all.

ÙNICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed.....
Too bad we don't know when and where this was recorded.
this is in Mexico??
What is the date of this recording?
soberba!!!!
The voice is 'massive' but I much prefer the 1956 recording I have .
I suppose you mean the 1955 one, me too!!!
Of course , you are right !
