Hi Sean, Certainly the best of Callas who’s interpretive and emotionally charged renditions remain unequalled. There are some with maybe a richer tone but none who ushered in to the operatic world such raw emotion. Hence it’s always a pleasure to listen to such a great artist with recordings taken I presume during her glory days. I have read the rather sad autobiography. Thanks for posting - enjoyed listening to them all ! Best wishes
Ah, a pleasure to learn your ears enjoyed what they heard, Lindsay. When becoming aware that last Saturday was the 40th anniversary of her death I felt remembered of that I am 40 years older than in 1977. It is nice to think of dead artists smiling when witnessing they are still admired.
