No soprano had a more exciting, thrilling voice so full of pathos and power than this at this time in her life and prior to 1954. ❤ And, yes, beautiful this voice is!!!

Який безцінний дарунок отримало людство Землі від божого посланця, безмежного голоса від самого ТВОРЦЯ Всесвіту.! Марія Каллас випромінює надпотужний промінь духовної сили, дарованої від НЬОГО людству !!! Все життя Марії є гімном Духовності Людини , що дає постійний зв'язок з батьком ТВОРЦЕМ !!!
Δοκίμασε όλους τούς ρόλους του ρεπερτοριου και άφησε το αποτύπωμά μιας ξεχωριστης και ανεπαναληπτης ερμηνείας , ηταν ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΉ , ευχαριστώ που μπορώ να την ακούω
Maria Callas cantou e o mundo ficou suspenso na sua voz!Passa o tempo, passam acontecimentos, mas o mundo continua suspenso á espera até que surja a voz que vai quebrar o encantamento! Será?....
Thick, dark, heavy yet agile, and strong like an airplane engine blast. Lol. The perfect combination of a sound, found in full glory in a single and unique human throat at its peak, with absolutely no limits. Simply overwhelming. La Divina lives forever!
This is a miracle!! Especially the Bellini Cabaletta. No one sang those downward runs with this brilliance and ease. Never! And without lightening the voice. Every note gets its full weigt. And the e-flat in the end... Perfection!!!
A LA EXTRAORDINARIA CAPACIDAD DE INTERPRETACIÓN Y MUSICALIDAD QUE MARÍA CALLAS NOS TIENE ACOSTUMBRADOS EN SUS RECITALES, DEBEMOS AGREGAR Y LO DESTACO QUE LA VOZ ERA PURA, CRISTALINA Y SEGURA EN CUALQUIER REPERTORIO. ¡ LA VOZ DE MARÍA CALLAS EN ESA ÉPOCA NO TENÍA "FIN ! . GRACIAS POR DIFUNDIR ESTA GRABACIÓN QUE SE TRANSFORMA EN "DOCUMENTO" FRENTE A TANTAS COSAS QUE SE ESCRIBIERON DE LAS PARTICULARIDADES ADVERSAS DE LA VOZ DE MARÍA , LA ABSOLUTA. ARMANDO CERUTTI
The size of this voice by 1949 is RIDICULOUS! Which individual that calls themselves a human being is capable of so much natural UNFORCED volume? How does that even work?
Beloved Marx What great gifts you bestow , heartfelt thanks. She draws us like a magnet. She is utterly ‘present’ - behind every note she sings. She ‘Makes’ us listen. There is an undeniable presence of being ‘in ‘ the music. Unique, brave, demanding Maria. You give us a taste of a world of music never before heard and never again achieved. Everlasting love and humble gratitude.
When someone asked Tullio Serafin what he actually thought of Callas' voice, the great maestro shook his head and mused, "Which voice? Norma? Violetta?"
The technique is a marvel as is the power of the voice and musicianship, but to consider how young she was at the time, it makes one gasp at the depth of her expression. She earned the title of "La Divina" the moment she recorded the first note.
Callas cuts her way through these arias with an incandescent fluency rarely heard in other artists.............that was her GOD GIVEN TALENT.................RIP darling Maria PRIMA DONNA ASSOLUTA
La voz de María Callas era perfecta en sus primeros años de carrera. Era como escuchar las gotas del agua más pura y cristalina. Verdaderamente una belleza única!
This is Callas phrasing in Bellini's music, with all the nuances, shadows, rubato required by this music! Listen to the micro agogica in her last coloratura of the cantilena ! Chopin was inspired by Bellini music; Wagner also wanted his singers oat Bayreuth Theater to be coached by Manuel Garcia in "belcanto" way of singing the music for the premiere. Her voice might not be as Ponselle's but Callas phrasing in Bellini is unique indeed ! ♥
My goodness, this is incredible. The size of the voice and the absolute steadiness of tone combined with all her musical precision. I have never heard her sounding this good. (At the time one would celebrate the successor of Ponselle.)
La más grande entre las grandes. La Divina es divina!!!!!!. Muchas gracias Marx por compartir esta magnífica grabación. Saludos cordiales desde Santiago, Chile. Dr. Fernando Rivas-Burattini. 🇨🇱🇨🇱✝️🙏✝️🎼🎼🤝👏👏
Not the most pure or beautiful perhaps...but the very first notes...you know it can't be anyone else...without doubt the greatest opera soprano of the 20th century....no other soprano could convey such deep emotion pulling your heart strings with every phrase.
Your opening phrase is idiotic and contradictory. When speaking of great classical musicians, Hifetz, Lipatti, Richter, Casals, etc, and Callas the greatest of them all, we can only marvel: Truth is Beauty, Beauty is Truth.
@@Scoubidou-if1of I myself consider Callas and Gould the greatest classical performers of the post-war period, if not the 20C. They are the most distinctive, brought something entirely new that is unforgettable, along with super-human technique. This is why they have such huge followings to this day.
Yes, of course no one could touch the dramatic impact of La Divina. HOWEVER, personally I am NOT always in the mood to be shaken to my core by a VOLCANO- SOMETIMES I need the FLAWLESS, soothing beauty of Sutherland or Sills
@@vittoriopassanante2601 Sure, no one said listen exclusively to Callas or Gould. Altho there have been many, including Rudolf Bing, who said that once you had heard Callas in a part, it is difficult to be satisfied with anyone else. I myself admire Sutherland, Nilsson, and occasionally Tebaldi and Schwarzkopf.
I know nothing of opera but listening to this voice just draws me into her incredible gift. I can’t imagine having that incredible vocal range. Simply beautiful
Thankyou Marx 7811 for uploading these wonderful 1949 studio recordings of Maria Callas. They are most certainly of musical historic importance. Many thanks and straight into My Playlist Favourites.
I think we've been told over and over again that it wasn't beautiful that we haven't been able to truly hear her voice without this haze of years of criticism. Beauty is indeed subjective, and what was one considered beautiful may not be today, and vice versa. During the Renaissance, heavier women were deemed desirable and skinny women were unattractive. So it is with other standards of "beauty."
I guess if you compare the timbre of her voice to someone like Leontyne Price it's not conventionally beautiful. Dramatic and full of colour - yes. But 'beautiful'? No.
Some have ears, but can't hear. Silly to let them bother you. My aunt, may she r.i.p., worshipped Liberace, but can't stand Richter, complaining that he 'plays like a farmer digging for potatoes". I only smiled and nod my head each time.
@@baritonebynightYeah, like the old clichë goes. But the point was that Callas' voice was never even THAT unusual or strange in comparison to other voices in her category & even just in general for it to merit being exceptionalized & seen in that regard. So perhaps the subjectivity has really been less about the perception of "beauty" than the other stuff within those people who actually couldn't even aspire to her standards if they wanted to. And you know they SOOOO want to! Bad. Though, they won't explicitly admit to it. So what does one do to feel better about not being able to reach the distant stars? It's another ancient tactic that's not too far from the ad hominem: THE SOUR GRAPES. They try to diminish the starlights' brightness in their imaginations, so they won't feel so diminishd by their own inability & failure to shine just as (actually & not merely figuratively) bright to join their ranks.
To say “I’m not a fan” means to say that you don’t have the gift of soul to recognize great artistry. I don’t know much about musical technique but this voice raises the hairs on the back of my neck and brings unbidden tears. Callas, the greatest opera soprano ever and Kathleen Ferrier the greatest contralto.
Si può comprendere perché si dice che esiste un prima e un dopo Callas... Lei ha reso nobiltà all'arte lirica ed ha ripreso la grande scuola belcantista che tanto splendore ha dato al canto ed alla interpretazione di altissimo livello.
The Puritani scene is one of my all-time favourite Callas recordings, so sensitive, expressive and moving. The Norma scene so musical and natural for her. Dolce e calmo shows her limitations but Callas was born for bel canto anyway.
THANK YOU, INFINITELEY!!! To God for making her, to her for choosing to sing her life away to us and to Marx 7811 for uploading this recital!!!! BTW it is Dec, 02 today. VIVA MARIA CALLAS!!!
Although her voice was thick and heavy during her vocal prime, it was still light, agile and flexible. Madam De Hidalgo did a great job in training her voice.
De Hidalgo recounts that Maria's discipline was such that she didnt just come for her own lessons but would come and listen to the lessons of ALL the pupils. This is when she was 13-14-15.
Η Θεά. Όταν τελειώνει η τελευταία κορώνα ,απόλυτα τέλεια, ο ήχος δεν χάνεται, αντηχεί στο χώρο για λίγα δευτερόλεπτα.....Καθαρή μαγεία. Αιώνια Μαρία .....

Giuditta Pasta alternated opposite types of opera, but that, together with other things, tired her. La Divina's voice, if she didn't had so many physical and psychological pains, would had been a lot more preserved 😢, because her technique was the absolute best, and she had the greatest chest voice of all
@@giovic9802 I think Callas' voice had to be constructed and maintained with immense training and discipline. It didnt come naturally. I dont know of any other singer who trained as relentlessly as she did in her "great period" roughly up to the time of meeting Onassis. After that, a combination of less training and age took their toll on the fragile construction. Carol Maria Gilulini said that during her 'great period" she lived like a monk ---- nothing but rehearsal and home, all day every day. In this respect, her boring much older husband Meneghini was actually a benefit.
She said the only important teachers she ever had were De Hidalgo and Serafin. At the time of this recording she already knew Serafin. I never heard of Cusinati. And she certainly didnt need anybody to prevent her from "getting away with something." She was the greatest perfectionist in opera history. Since her early teens. And she was vastly knowledgeable about all aspects of opera.
Her voice was not really natural. She had to construct and maintain it with ferocious training and discipline. After 15 years of living like a monk with a boring old husband, but which was good for the voice, it is no wonder she wanted to branch out and have a life. Even though Onassis ended up sort of leaving her (she says he didnt really) she says she was extremely happy in the 8 years they had together. Who can blame her? But no, the fragile construction that was her voice couldnt survive unless she continued to train like a maniac.
The Best ever ❤
No soprano had a more exciting, thrilling voice so full of pathos and power than this at this time in her life and prior to 1954. ❤ And, yes, beautiful this voice is!!!
Ti's brings tears to my eyes, every time. Callas was incomparable, a true genius & artist of the first rank

This obviously belongs to the “ best version” of her singing.

Así se dio a conocer Maria Callas en Italia. Por un lado cantaba Wagner y por otro el repertorio italiano. Y, después ...la regina de la Scalla...
Un mostro sacro❤
Alguien puede dudar al escucharla quien canta!!! ??Por ello es única e inigualable!!Arg.Buenos Aires!!
She was being coached by Cusinati during this time. He demanded her to sing beautifully and didn’t let her get away with anything.
In quei tempi c'erano i Maestri. Ora c'e il vuoto.
She said the only important teachers she ever had were De Hidalgo and Serafin. At the time of this recording she already knew
Serafin. I never heard of Cusinati. And she certainly didnt need anybody to prevent her from "getting away with something." She was the greatest perfectionist in opera history. Since her early teens. And she was vastly knowledgeable about all aspects of opera.
OMG THAT WAGNER
Le Bellinii (Rendete mi la speme) est le plus abouti, le plus achevé, le plus émouvant....
Et non, Wagner n'était pas son truc! Elle a bien fait de fuir !
I heard maria callas at the old met in Tosca and recital with DeStefano. I believe her personal life was the weight that brought her down at the end.
Her voice was not really natural. She had to construct and maintain it with ferocious training and discipline. After 15 years of living
like a monk with a boring old husband, but which was good for the voice, it is no wonder she wanted to branch out and have a life. Even though Onassis ended up sort of leaving her (she says he didnt really) she says she was extremely happy in the 8 years they had together.
Who can blame her? But no, the fragile construction that was her voice couldnt survive unless she continued to train like a maniac.
