I was 19 years old, when I was in this concert 1973, may be the last one, who is alive from this concert in Mannheim. I payed 110 DM, a lot of money in that time. but... Callas gave me the most emotionally moments in opera singing since I was 15 and i knew every aria and every opera from her. But I saw her only in my fantasy and in this Mannheim concert I completed my listening-fantasy with the visual exiting. It was amazing, it was very sad listening the very end of her career. vocal not satisfying, because I heard her voice with my inner voice from her past and best time. Even then this concert kept in my mind as the most emotional and historical event. Thank Maria Callas: she made me always happy, sad, weeping, exiting. She gave me the most beautiful moment of opera singing. Thank for the post too!!
Muchas gracias a Usted valoro su comentario...nunca escuché personalmente a la Divina su apreciación me permite amarla aun más. Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you for your tribute to the great Callas. I love her dearly. She did an inimitable Carmen, interpreting the words like no other. She was to Opera what Lawrence Olivier was to acting. After she sang a role, it was impossible to do it differently or better. Some English words need to be corrected: PAID, not PAYED. EXCITING, not EXITING. EXITING means to leave (Exit). Gracias por tu homenaje al gran Callas. La amo mucho. Hizo una Carmen inimitable, interpretando las palabras como nadie. Ella fue para la ópera lo que Lawrence Olivier fue para la actuación. Después de que cantó un papel, era imposible hacerlo diferente o mejor. Usando 'Google Translate', así que perdone mis errores. ¡Tu inglés es mucho mejor que mi español!
This is proof that she hadn't ruined her voice. She had simply gone through a very bad period physically and emotionally. She was still an amazing singer!
Sigue teniendo la interpretación , el drama , la fuerza , el sentimiento de siempre . Y la voz para ser el sexto concierto de la gira , está muy bien . Callas nunca perdió ni la voz ni su genialidad .
Creo que si Maria hubiese tenidos el apoyo suficiente para salir de su depresión habría regresado y habría vuelto a cantar de nuevo. Su voz aun estaba ahí. Muchas gracias por compartir 😊 Satanás desde Nicaragua 🇳🇮
People don’t realize how grueling this last tour was, city after city despite significant health concerns at this point . Someone recently posted a video compilation of forms great singers in their decline most of them were far from listenable . Like Callas only a couple were able to still spin the magic and artistry. She was always a voice lesson even to the end.
Διατηρούσε ακόμη - κατά κάποιον τρόπο - την φωνή της. Όπως και να το κάνουμε, όμως, δεν ήταν πια ούτε η Μαρία των '50, ούτε καν αυτή των '60. Σ' ευχαριστώ, φίλε μου.
It’s kind of tortured sounds in the lower middle notes, but her mastery of melodramma per musica, is better than it was in her 20s. Those “sfogature di labbre” were ansolutely mind-blowing-époustouflant!!
The voice is broken in the low register, she is not able to mix the middle voice with the low voice anymore, I am so sorry foor her, who told her to sing like that, probely Di Stephano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think she used to push chest notes into middle G, then sing a cabaletta with an E flat. Then switch from dramatic coloratura to lyric coloratura and Medea, Ifigenia etc. Constant demands on the two little chords (and her demand for emotional intensity) were sufficient causes to injure the voice and her immune system.
@@maxcornise7204 Not even close, she was perfect in 1969, knew what she was doing, never better, so listen to that, you wil inderstand, she did listen to the wrong man for sure!
She was the only one and the best even when you say she was not in good voice her singing is à maister classe in it self. Edward Arckless ex Royal Oper Ballet Covent Garden London.
A 3591. Il che prova che la perdita della voce non fu causata fal dimagrimento ma dalla dermatomiosite che le rovinò muscoli, tendini e tessuto connettivo. Difatti qui, pur nel registro medio grave che era il suo basico, non è niente male per una ultima rentrée dopo anni.
Нет, это она, те же эмоции, накал, все болеют и душою тоже!! "Пение-это состояние души!" Галина Вишневская( русская оперная певица, сопрано, жена Мстислава Ростроповича-великого русского виолончелиста)
La Callas who spoke of Bel Canto as a way of singing is not exhibiting it here. The wide vibratos are very different from the limpid, straight tones of her Lucia, for instance, in the 50's. In the name of passion, she was forcing the very top and bottom. This is the antithesis of what Ponselle said, to sing on one's interest and not on one's principal.

Lovely thoughts from you. I will always remember the emotional impact she had on you. Art and music: Life-affirming. La Divina, like no other!

Thanks for historical recording
Her voice touch my soul,it’s chilling ,
Most sopranos at their zenith can’t pull this aria off with such pathos emotion and vocal acumen.
I would rather listen to Maria post-prime singing than any other soprano!
That chest voice ❤️
Increible, una emoción intacta y siempre eterna... BRAVO.
Sigue teniendo la interpretación , el drama , la fuerza , el sentimiento de siempre . Y la voz para ser el sexto concierto de la gira , está muy bien . Callas nunca perdió ni la voz ni su genialidad .

Maravillosa y única voz en su género!!
The eternal Callas!

Супер, аж аппаратура записывающая вибрирует! Богиня!!!
Bella interpretación.
Wow 🤩

Φυσικά! Αλλά αν σκεφτεί κανεις ότι δεν ήταν πια 25-30 χρόνων, αλλά 50!

Ναι, έχεις δίκιο.

This definitely the 50years old Maria Callas!!! She sings with the same passion as she did in her debut!

@@Leonella449 Singing is MUCH MORE than a state of mind. Vishnevskaya was not a Bel Canto singer herself.
