Maria Callas
Comment:
Maria Callas lived a life that was filled with almost as much drama and intensity as her music, but decades after her death, it’s her amazing instrument that cements her legend. Listen to the airy acrobatics she seems to approach so effortlessly in Romeo and Juliet’s “Je veux vivre,” and the rich, radiant tone she achieves on the long, elegant lines of Samson Et Dalila’s “Printemps Qui Commence” — how many sopranos could master either one, let alone both? And when she unveils her natural dramatic gifts as Lady Macbeth on Macbeth’s “Una Macchia E Qui Tuttora,” her sheer vocal presence tempts you to imagine Callas finding success as an actress even if she never sang a note.
