Bellini: Norma - Callas, Corelli, Ludwig, Zaccaria, de Palma, Vicenci, Serafin (1960) [Subtitles] 

Franco Corelli, el más grande Pollione en discos. Virilidad, poder, belleza vocal, carácter.

Magnificent Corelli!

The dynamic recording impressed me that doesn't like a recording 60 years ago but yesterday. Amazing!

Corelli un gran y destacado cantante lírico.

Une merveilleuse interprétation qui suscite de grandes émotions. Merci !

Es sensacional Norma de Bellini ❤❤

This is my favorite recording of Norma and in my opinion it is the best of Callas'. Her partners are also magnificent. Thank you for making me listen to it again!

Agreed! Callas IS Norma! And, Norma is THE Opera against which all other operas are to be measured. I care what no one else has to say on the matter, this IS the ultimate Opera. Certainly it is my favorite. And this is an excellent rendering of this classic of classics. Thanks, LOR (apologies, for a moment I mistook your channel for another), for posting it. Another very worthy posting, indeed. L543/:-)

Callas, Corelli, and Ludwig together-breathtaking!

Best of the Best !

Of all the NORMA recordings I have heard this one is the most memorable. True that Callas‘ instrument is not in its best condition here but her interpretive genius, for me, compensates considerably. The last 20-25 minutes are among the most moving experience I have yet experienced in any operatic recording. Although in fresher voice in her first NORMA recording it is regrettable that Callas‘ colleagues, Stignani, excepted, fail to measure up to her standard, vocally & interpretively. Impressive as her characterization is in the earlier recording she is even more detailed & subtle in the 1960 recording + she has a really fine group adding to her already memorable impact here. Few, if any, then or now can equal the Pollione of Corelli. Some thought Ludwig an odd choice for Adalgisa but she is in superb form & matches, IMO, Stignani who is a little past her very best in the earlier recording but still impressive. Zaccaria as Oroveso does fine & solid work as well. A magnificent recording & one for the ages.

Norma es excellent ❤❤

great great

Bonjour merci à vous pour ce partage avec nos grandes étoiles les plus grandes immortelles a jamais des voix uniques et superbes interprètes inégales merci ❤❤❤❤❤❤

To me, this is the epitome of Norma. I’m sure Bellini had this recording playing in his head while composing this masterpiece

Франко Корелли затмить невозможно. Он прекрасен! Голос Кристы Людвиг тоже доставил большое наслаждение.

Everybody talks about Callas here, but to me what makes this recording special, is the entire cast. I mean, where you could find better Pollione than Corelli [kudos for Callas for insisting on having him for the recording, btw] ? Who could be as majestic Oroveso as Zaccaria? Who could counduct orchestra better than Serafin? Ludwig is not my personal favorite in this role (I prefer Horne/Caballe to her), but she did very well too. The finale is just unbelievable: you may easily feel Oroveso''s pain, that the sacred laws say, he has to sentence his own daughter to death, her desperate tries to save the children from the same fate, Pollione's remorse, Gauls' wrath... This is opera.

Grand merci aussi pour les sous-titres animant cette video.

Maria Callas = The Queen Of Bel Canto! The Empress Of Opera!!! NO ONE SINGS NORMA, ANNA BOLENA, TOSCA, MADAMA BUTTERFLY, NABUCCO, LADY MACBETH... etc. etc. etc. LIKE HER!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS THE SINGLE BEST OPERA SINGER EVER LIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merci pour ce chef d'œuvre et sa traduction française !

Музыка Норма Беллини, просто фантастика, до слез пробивает.Мария Каллас великолепна, слов нет. Беллини будет жить вечно со своей музыкой. Это музыка огромной и страстной любви,которую можно передать только в музыке. Гении создали это твлрение.

Sound so Good !!

What a cast! and with glorious Maria at the top! The result is superNorma.

Best opera recording in history. The Cheops pyramid of the 20th century.

To think that Hollywood is casting Angelina Jolie as Callas! Only in America could you think of something so grotesque.

Maria Callas will turn 100 if she lives today.

This is a true masterpiece 👏, Maria callas is amazing ❤

Слушаю запись в канун столетия рождения несравненной певицы Марии Каллас. Вот ее слова: "Бельканто - совершенство звуков, нанизанных на нить дыхания, пение, щедрое и разнообразного стиля, то есть Россини, Беллини и Верди - я не говорю о Масканьи и Пуччини, которые для меня несравнимы с первыми тремя. Голос должен быть инмтрументом и вести себя как таковой". Мария Каллас "Воспоминания. Дневники. Письма". составитель Том Вольф. Париж 2019г. Москва АСТ, 2021г.

Love Classical Music

Thanks

La más grande de todos los tiempos. La Única,la Divina!!!!

It’s just amazing to realize how Maria Callas was able to eclipse every great singer of her time. People would go to the opera to see her in spite of great ones like Corelli, Del Monaco, Di Stefano, Bergonzi including her supposed rival, Renata Tebaldi and then everyone else, and even nowadays, in 2023 every great soprano is measured against her greatness as singer, actress and musician. ❤❤❤

Only few people listen to this masterpiece too pity .

La Callas i la Caballe las millors Norma de Bellini ❤❤

Ara vaig al meu futon fins a les sis , tinc quirofan bona nit ❤

Thanks for this sensational recording, uploaded in terrific sound. But I'm not seeing the subtitles per the heading. Tried two different browsers. Not ungrateful, just FYI in case there's a glitch you're able to fix - or help me with.

I wish this were recorded a year earlier, along with her second Gioconda. Somehow, between 1959 and 1960, something happened to her upper register where the sounds became frayed and threadbare. That being said, this is a very moving interpretation of Norma, and I think she brings out the poignancy and sadness of the character better than ever. I also enjoy the contrast between the weather-worn voice of Callas and the luscious and youthful sound of Ludwig. Ludwig spoke about this recording in an interview: "I had never sung Bellini, and this whole bel canto thing isn't my 'cup of tea.' I had never sung it. I had to learn the role in 8 days, because another singer got sick. So I learned the music, and then came the question of what is the style of singing this thing? And Callas told me, 'You know what, just simply imitate me!' And that was the difficulty of imitating her, because Callas is inimitable. You simply cannot, because she had something in her voice, like the entire tragedy of her life lay in just one note. I don't know what it is, I just start to hear her sing a recitative, and I begin to weep. I have this feeling for this woman. . .the voice in itself is not beautiful, but what she creates with it is so fantastic. The way she shapes a recitative, nobody can do that, and when you try to imitate her, that doesn't work either. " I had this set on LP, and I remember that the recording captured not only the singers and the orchestra, but you could also sometimes hear the trucks driving outside of La Scala during the recording session. I don't know whether or not they were able to digitally remove the sound of the trucks in the later reprocessing, but on the LP, you could definitely hear them. For the best balance between interpretive genius and vocal splendor, I always go to the 1955 live recording from La Scala. She's in fabulous "thin" voice, and she's interpretively just as deep as she was in 1960. Also, her fury in the trio and in "in mia man" is much more terrifying in the live performance.

So exquisite….yet tragic

♥️♥️♥️

СПАСИБО большое бравоооооо ❤️💐

Bellini is genial composer

Légendery Norma of Callas !!!!!!

Primadonna assoluta for ever !

La divina Forever 🎉😊

Es un sueño!!!!!!!!

Якщо слухати Норму, то тільки в виконанні Марії Каллас. В її виконанні стільки особистого. Дуже дяккую за якісний запис.

Maria Callas ist genial, aber die größte Norma hat Joan Sutherland 1978 gesungen ♥️

La Callas alla scala diede forfait in una famosa serata perché non era più in voce e non sosteneva Corelli che,interrogato, da gentiluomo non lo ha mai ammesso

I think EMI wanted their own Gioconda than Centra’s. Instead of Lucia, they could’ve recorded Traviata I suppose. 1960 would’ve been far too late for Traviata.
