Un 'artista immensa per una melodia di una grazia e dolcezza infinite

Very well sung, like everything Callas sang, but, like herself would have put it, her voice was not even enough and lacked of the purity of tone required for Mozart. She was a very wise woman and hardly ever sang Mozart pieces. She knew her instrument better than anybody else. Great Callas, even for or maybe, because of her choices also.

C'est tout simplement merveilleux.

Listen to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in this aria and you'll notice the difference and how Mozart should sound like! Callas for me was almost always far too "cold"! Not the type of sopranos I really like!

Manlio Miele

Che fascino!

I think that what I like about Maria Callas is that her voice doesn't sound "pushed" or "cultivated". A problem I have with many of todays sopranos. :Her words a so distinctive and her Italian is top drawer, For those who say that Mozart is not for her; I say pish tosh. She can sing ANYTHING. Sidewalk superintendents need to explain their comments so that the logical and knowledgeable among us may understand their feelings.

I definitely agree with some of you.... She didn't enjoy singing Mozart and we can obviously understand it!

I do appreciate the achievements of this remarkable soprano (don't we all?), but Mozart does not showcase this kind of voice very well. It's like displaying a black pearl in a velvet cask.

Maria Callas n'aimait pas Mozart, elle l'a dit elle-même et ici elle nous le prouve : quelle dureté !Cela reste un document.

Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro, O Love, give me some remedyAl mio duolo, a'miei sospir! For my sorrow, for my sighs!O mi rendi il mio tesoro, Either give me back my darlingO mi lascia almen morir. Or at least let me die.

j'ai vu cet opéra !!! une splendeur !!! Malheureusement l'étoile était trop loin pour l'interprêter

Is there a video of her singing "Dove Sono"

Roger Moozil

Sadly Mozart has been deified so that heavenly purity of tone is what everyone expects in performing his music. I feel that there was more depth to his art than evoking a soft aesthetic sigh at something well done. Brava to Callas for revealing the human soul of the countess. I doubt Mozart would have been irked at her musicianship and feeling in singing this music.

I think you are absolutely right! She liked that big guns bel canto stuff where the voice is soft and lyrical in one moment and then scorching and metallic the next. This is Theresa Stich-Randall country. The best Mozart singer ever, if I may say so!

haightguy

Her intonation is certainly questionable. I think her voice is not right for Mozart. It's too 'inward', subjective.

Very beautiful. You can always hear her heart and soul when she sings; that's what makes her so exceptional.

Nahiza Aldana

magnifica artista pero no simplemente su voz no era para Mozart, no es por técnica es por timbre y punto, aún aquí demuestra el gran trabajo de legato y un hermoso fiato.

roberto conti

Unica, inconfondibile, superba.

infrantasi

This is not her best Mozart — there are early recordings of "Martern aller Arten" from an RAI radio concert (Tutti le torture) and a recently posted "Non mi dir" from 1953 — both exquisitely sung. This is kid stuff compared to Medea and Sonnambula, but her voice here is tremulous and too many notes are just approximated — but with wonderful subdued passion and a unique reading, in any case.
