- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2008
- Grabacion completa y sin pausas del "rehearsal" en Dallas de la ópera I Puritani, concretamente la escena Oh rendetemi la speme... Qui la voce sua soave... Vien diletto. Incluso ensayando Callas lo daba todo, lógico que al acabar, dada la intensidad del momento, los asistentes aplaudieran. ¡¿Quién no lo haría?!

Bellini asks for this piece to be sung "con tutte desperazzione del dolore," and Callas delivers.
This is fabulous and sounds like early Callas, except the later Callas, had refined her interpretation and every note counted, it was round, and always lovely.. The top is very very resonant here., with great focus, and freedom and the E flat had real squillo. I love this!
That is some high E flat. In John Ardoin's book he says that she sang better in rehearsal as she saw herself as just one of the musicians, and was free of the nerves of a performance, where she thought 'they' were out to get her! Fascinating! I've loved this great voice for 40 years!
This is so understated and so beautiful as a result.. The melody dominates,as it should. Her singing is exquisite. artistic, you hear every word. It is also very steady singing.
Godawful brilliant, an incredible rendition! What an artist she was, not without flaws certainly, but what shines though to me always is her musical genius. RIP. We'll never see her likes again.
Sing it the divine one!! My god you were wonderful.
hear that e-flat!!!! goes right through me!!!
she will be the real opera-diva forever!!! noone can match this!
I dont think if Maria knew how ppl would admire Callas forever she would still alive to see all this success
En los momentos finales la DIVA dejó de ensayar, y comenzó a cantar en serio...la intensidad y focalización del Mib sobreagudo es sobrecogedora..en su corazón había fuego,era MARÍA CALLAS, como siempre, incomparable, inolvidable...!!
¿Quién puede explicarlo mejor que la soprano italiana Moira Criscuoli, cuando escribió en su muro "MARÍA, TU VOZ ROBA CADA LATIDO DE MI CORAZÓN".....hermosas y merecidas palabras para la gran MARÍA CALLAS!!!!
I remembber the comments about how she came into the rehearsal of, i.e., I vespri siciliani, and sang in fortissimo even the final Mi sobreagudo (high E5 or 6, don't remember) roducing absolute àstonishment among attendees. What a wonderful years...
Maria come back please!!!
shit! as if the singing was not out of this world enough...but..the clapping at the end cements this one for me. I cry sitting here at home...i would have lost my mind if I heard La Divina live...gosh. callas. forever. para siempre. Mejorisima del mundo.
io amo questa prova è troppo bella, grazie per il bel momento di arte assoluta
he tenido la oportunidad de escuchar en varias voces estas arias y indudablemente callas es suprema e inigualable aun sin verla se siente en su voz el sentimiento de cada papel que interpreta... pasaran años para volver a ver una artista de la talla de callas quien sera recordada siempre como la divina, la prima donna assoluta¡¡¡
That knocked me out too! Most pro musicians are too cool to clap for anyone, especially in a rehearsal- she was beyond!! What wouldn't I give to see a video of this session!!
Me too! Would love to be able to see it! But listening is pretty great.
Not true. When Ive rehearsed with a symphony the clap when im introduced and at the end. And the dallas orchestra knew they were lucky to have her. In fact her relationship with Dallas opera gave them all jobs.
I concur. When I was in music school all of my teachers were from the old school. One sang with San Francisco back in the 50's and the other at the MET in the mid 70's early 80's. There was no such thing as marking in rehearsals. We had to sing full voice and if unprepared, you were asked to leave. Those people did not play!!!!!
The Callas was so in the mood she just through it out at them.......and boy did they like it :)
Grazie mille! Super!
Her legato blows me away, and those damned portamenti. PERFECTION! I love that she lightens her voice for the coloratura work. This is when her voice was in its prime --before stress? technical defects? Diet? began to destroy her instrument. :(
You're right. She's in superior control here
This already four years past her vocal prime. Her real voice disappeared along with her weight, and that’s when problems began to show up.
This is Callas already in decline
@@Shahrdad Far too simplistic an analysis. Her best years--in my humble opinion--were 1953-1954-1955 (!)-1956-1957 (Anna Bolena!)--long after the weight loss.
@@jamesnickoloff6692 those were great years musically and interpretively. Vocally, her best years were before the weight loss, when there was practically nothing her voice couldn’t do. The instrument itself was never the same after she because so thin.
The music engulfs her-and she as always obliges-as though in a recording session-live -whatever-Callas-is as always -the Diva-no singer today is comparable
Complete and utter perfection. This is the Elvira of one's dreams. There's not a note that could be improved, not a phrase that could be more movingly sung. The delicacy with which she handles Elvira's florid lines is breathtaking, portraying better than any other her mental breakdown. The free, ringing high E flat at the end is the delicious icing on the cake.
I am quite sure God must be enjoying her singing art in heaven. From Santiago of Chile, January 2018
ed erano prove !!!!!!!! accidenti che bellezza
Who apart from Maria Callas would give 100% commitment to either rehearsal or public performance? So many artists prefer to play it safe and save themselves for the big gig. This demonstrates what music is truly about.
NO ONE LIKE HER: NO ONE
And this is "just" a rehearsal !!! No more Opera singers are singing with full voice this during rehearsal today ! But this was not an "Opera singer" ... this was CALLAS !
That E flat is wonderful and in that book he said that she was never ever able to compete with this rehearsal high note!
The one.....the only.....the Callas.
el director es Nicola Rescigno
Profesionlidad absoluta, artisa absoluta
i love this performance In spite of some pitchiness. I think she was more relaxed at a rehearsal. Fascinating document.
thanks for your comments.
Maria Callas confesó a un amigo, tras la premiere de La sonnambula del 55 en La Scala, que "su declive... había empezado".
No obstante, se empieza a notar que algo va mal desde 1956 y, sobre todo, 1957.
@kgarmaker123 I agree. I've been listening to Callas' recordings for 50 years, and what I hear over&over again is that when she was rested, healthy and happy she sounded great, right up until the late 60's. BUT, she had phases when she sang too much, and - particularly after meeting Ari - partied too much, and neglected to rest and take care of herself. Then she didn't sound good. Gobi always insisted, there was never, ever anything wrong with her voice, it was her personal problems.
La liberté absolue !!! On est au sommet d'un art délivré de toute contrainte .
thank you ubedajils....very much
She is best
Maria at her best--brava.
Hermoso, bello, dorado !!
Cierto, para esta epoca se comenzo a hablar del declive vocal de Maria, lo increible es que aun asi tuviese la capacidad para hacer algunas de las mejores actuaciones, no de su carrera, si consideradas en la historia, como Anna Bolena, Norma, Lucia di Lammermoor y otras, principalmente La Traviata del '58.
wow hear that e flat!!! goes right through me
@sillyboydeux amen.. to that.. I do not hear any vocal issues either.. This however was the start of her big "party" year.. Lots of partying with Elsa Maxwell, etc.. Callas sounds like she is rested and in excellent shape for this. That E flat was HUGE.
Grabación de ensayos los tiene Callas, Sutherland, Caballe, Devia por nombrar algunas. Hoy son piezas que permiten valorar su calidad en este arte.

Lu8s Montecinos, non nominiamo la Devia tra queste, per carita'. E' molto lontana.
Happy Birthday, Maria!
the best ever
I Puritani solo Maria. È da manuale. ❤️
Yes, I think the same. The live puritani of 1952 is not very good, but she sang in Chicago, it seems to me, years before 1953 I Puritani. But ther is no recording available
musicalita' insuperata
totalmente de acuerdo
B r a v a
Da capo Maria !
NIcola was the perfect partner for her. He gives her all the time she wants, and its always right with her! Plus they genuinely liked eachother and he gave her honest critiques which she accepted.
Very famous live hidden-rekord.For Callas voice history,it's remarkable the powerful Eflat from Vien diletto...
Not so secret. After the first line or two, Nicola says ( to the booth?) " is that coming through?" Meaning
" are you getting this on tape. ?"
I dount she expected it to be released, but glad it was " leaked".
Exactly. "Irripetibile" (in Italian). Not out of fanatism, but just to state that she is the only soprano that is actually able to not only feel the music she is performing, but also to respect the score (with minor changes, but always in good taste, always with a view to 'doing justice to the composer').
sometimes i forget about "vien diletto" but then i come here and allow it to kill me. aaaaaaaahhh.
@pointemeout Bien dicho, man, bien dicho :)
Cualquier insulto será borrado. Gracias.

@sopranosd No I am not. I am going to go out on a limb and assume you are one and that you use the aforesaid trappings. I'm sure it has done/is doing/ will do wonders for you career...
Some singers nowadays are so protective of their voices and the poor technique they've acquired. I've heard of a few having complicated humidifiers and warming up for hours just to go into a recital and sing everything at mf, omit high notes, omit ornaments and transpose up or down depending on how they feel that day. It's ridiculous. I keep thinking how the orchestra would sound if the violinists were more protective of their hands.
i resort to bad language? please...go read your own coment before you say i cant express myself....and this is the last thing ill right to you....
IRREPETIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it had to be back then...today these fake sopranos sing mid voice in rehearsals
@sopranosd Curtain rod is a bad analogy for a sore voice. That's a stupid violinist! External effects on the voice are nothing new. This is why there are understudies. Singers pushing and machine gunning there way through operas should also not be surprised when their voices are damaged or sore. Germs etc can only exacerbate the problem but they can't be an excuse for what was often a poor way of singing or a lack of rest to begin with.
I think that it is both unfair and quite stupid for you to make such an asinine comparison to sopranos singing in rehearsals today!!!! Have you ever been to any of these arduous rehearsals that exist today in a crazy director's market?? The poor singers must endure excruciating circumstances to have a career, so if they feel the need to mark or sing everything in one register, please do not fault them. Callas' era was quite different, and the circumstances were different.
