    -From Shahrdad:
    Callas was a great actress because she was a phenomenal musician. Her acting was primarily floating the words on the music, and her physical acting was a direct extension of her connection to the music. She understood, instinctively, that once you sing something, it's no longer reality, and her acting reflected that. When you watch her in concert, it's almost like watching a ballet in slow motion: none of the gestures or realistic, but in the world she creates through the music, they are absolutely real. But take the music away and Callas was lost at sea.
    At her best, her voice and its abilities were unique: We have heard prettier voices, or more agile, or with higher notes, but we haven't experienced the combination of musicality, agility, vocal weight and size, range, and expressiveness, and versatility in any other singer of the 20th Century. We haven't had any singer who could go from Brunnhilde and Isolde and Turandot to Puritani and Lucia. Or any one who would sing Lady Macbeth, Abigaile, Lucia, and Lakme in one concert and sing each definitively.
    And that's just where she started.

    I agree with others who say they usually skip to the Sempre Libra, but with Maria they are compelled to listen to the entire scene. I got to witness Maria live in her farewell tour. It changed my thinking of theater for ever. There was truly something unearthly and magical about her presence on-stage. Plus, despite her vocal decline at the time, there were moments of such vocal beauty and expression as to defy my ability to convey it in writing. It saddens me terribly knowing we will never hear her like again. I will pray to be wrong!

    I didn't love opera when I was a kid, but was exposed to it and classical music in general by my Dad, who listened to it all incessantly. In opera, he especially loved Maria Callas. I thought she sounded particularly weird, and not appealing. Now, many years later, I'd like to tell my Dad that early Callas is stupendous and probably unmatched by anything in the musical Universe. It took me a few decades to grow up and develop at least a little proper taste in music. Despite the terrible recording quality, you can hear the spirit of a wild artist come through, and makes this way of classical singing comparable to the unfiltered jazz that I love. Unfiltered is what she is - an immense talent, with no artifice, which is what all art aims for.

John Ardoin was give her 1952 Lucia as a present in 1952 and he... gave it away after listening to the vinyl once... in the 6 months that followed he was being Haunted by her sound as a memory so he went and bought her Lucia again this time for himself to keep... Callas is the ultimate acquired taste... she herself described it as follows: Most people dont like my voice when they first hear it, but after a while I persuade them about what is going on underneath...

      I see why that voice teacher was afraid of Callas. She became more than the opera and forced those around her to take notice. Voice teachers in 1955 were afraid of Callas? Now that is something but I can see it. Just like it is today, voice teachers emphasis just to "stand and sing", however, you can't find anything musical if you do just that. We are all public servants to the music and it is our duty to make sure the audience understands the words (diction), the emotional aspect of the character/text/musical drama (musicality), and most importantly how can we share this thing with them personality (interpersonal relationship with the audience).

      No wonder so many of the first wave of Black-American female singers absolutely looked up and adored Callas. She does represent a fighting spirit that so little people had at that time and she took her job seriously -- in an era where the singers who sung her repertoire were all tinpot coloraturas who made a mockery of the emotional intensity in favor of their own flimsy acrobatics. No wonder the likes of Joan Sutherland and Gargle Horne hated her with their combined might!

    I always grin whenever I hear her different performances of Violetta, especially, that part in 5:34 where she chuckles. You get to picture out how she painted the whole image of the Opera with her voice - like in the second act where you hear her sniffling and crying during the whole scene with Germont and Alfredo. To be a fly on a wall during her performance would be a blessing, but I figured that I'd probably be killed by the force of her voice. 😂

    Whenever I hear one of Callas' super acutti I'm reminded of the story of when Tulio Serafin kindly gave 6 pence to Joan Sutherland for her Eb in a rehearsal of Lucia. Her high notes were indeed incredible, but by that logic, Maria was a billionaire.

    It's always a great experience to find more videos on Early Callas but this was just the start of what turned into an even better career and an even better story. Callas called herself a vocal athlete in these early and primal years which makes it come full circle when she's singing this aria and cabaletta like some wildcat! Yes, it's primal and glorious singing but the "musicianship" that she became accustomed to didn't get there until that one the year of 1952. We all know the story and how it ended and just to think this was just the start, is no more than unbelievable.

      Verdi becomes violent with the Soprano in this aria... I dont think there was ever been a more difficult coloratura aria except perhaps Kostanze's Ah ich liebte who alas we dont have with either Maria nor Joan while the complete recording of Serail with Schwarzkopf in her coloratura years (mid 40s) has it omitted :D

    • @MrQbenDanny
      @MrQbenDanny 7 лет назад +1

      Lohengrin O TOTALLY AGREE. When Verdi wrote this aria, the only soprano capable of singing it was in his mind and not yet born. Callas gave life to HIS Violetta, the entire opera. What makes Maria great is the gifts GOD gave HER, unreachable by mortals. I saw many Violettas at The Metropolitan, the first Albanese, but I was 10 years old I think and I thought she was somebody's grandma. Others, Freni (loved), Joan (wooden), Scotto (I apologize) Stratas (GREAT) others not worth mentioning. I like Zeani in her recordings. But really are ALL eclipsed by LA Divina who lives it body, soul, and voice.

    • @doctorjames7454
      @doctorjames7454 7 лет назад +1

      Well, we do have Maria in "Martern aller arten" from Serail (in Italian), which is marvelous and, in my opinion, even more difficult than Ach ich liebte.

    • @MrQbenDanny
      @MrQbenDanny 7 лет назад

    • @LohengrinO

      No no... Martern requires the range span but Ah ich liebte... that's the reason Sutherland never sang Kostanze ;)

Όντως τις χρωστάμε πάρα πολλά για όσα πρόσφερε στην Όπερα, στις ψυχές μας και την αγαπάμε τόσο πολύ, τι κι αν έχουν περάσει σαράντα χρόνια από τον θάνατό της....

      @LohengrinO  7 лет назад +1

      Τα περιγράφει όλα με ανατριχιαστικές λεπτομέρειες η πιο σοβαρή Βιογραφία που έχει γραφτεί έως σήμερα για την Κάλλας, από το Διομήδη-Πετσάλη (Η Άγνωστη Κάλλας), που έχει μεταφραστεί σε όλες τις γλώσσες και έχει λάβει βραβείο από τη Γαλλική Ακαδημία και αποτελεί ένα Ιστορικό Ντοκουμέντο που βασίζεται σε Ιστορικές Πηγές και όχι σε μυθολογίες κτλ... Βέβαια είχε και τους λίγους υποστηρικτές της... η μεγάλη Μαρία Αλκαίου (δεν ξέρω εάν την είχατε δει ως Φόνισσα (Παπαδιαμάντης) στην Ελληνική τηλεόραση, πριν γίνει η Ελληνική τηλεόραση Βόθρος) πήγαινε και στεκότανε στα πλάγια της Σκηνής όταν τραγουδούσε η Μαρία για να εμποδίσει τις δύο Κυράτσες να την γιουχάρουν.. μια φορά δε αυτές από τη λύσσα τους, της είπαν: Πείτε στην Καλογεροπούλου να πάει σπίτι της... δεν πρόκειται να πετύχει τίποτα, είναι εντελώς ατάλαντη... Είναι φανταστικό βιβλίο αν αντέχει κάποιος να δει όλη την κατάντια της Εκτρωματικής πραγματικά ψυχής του Έλληνα.. του μεγαλύτερου Υπερφιλόδοξου Ψώνιου της Υφηλίου
