Maria Callas sings A te, o cara (tenor aria from I Puritani) 

The humanity so essential so real so true. Maria Callas the soul of sound...sound of the soul.

Quelle vibration, quelle chaleur humaine dans le timbre. Maria transmet une émotion d abord par sa voix. Qu importent les critiques sur l état de sa voix qui n est pas une toiled musée mais un vecteur puissant d émotions partagées

I'm always moved by this excerpt every time I listen to it. That's the marvelous Art of one of the greatest opera singers ever!

It is so beautiful I'm crying like a baby. She was and will be the queen of sopranos for ever.

Why am I in tears ?

I learned so much more in this short clip of La Divina, than all other singers combined. She is missed. We love you Maria 🥲🥹♥️🐝🪽🪽. Fuck I cried listening to her. ♥️😥🥺♥️

Immensa!

A te, o cara, amor talora To you, oh dear one, love at times Mi guidò furtivo e in pianto; lead me furtively and in tears; Or mi guida a te d'accanto now it guides me to your side Tra la gioia e l'esultar. in joy and exhultation. Al brillar di sì bell'ora, At the radiance of such a beautiful hour Se rammento il mio tormento if I renew my torment, Si raddoppia il mio contento, it redoubles my happiness, M'è più caro il palpitar. 'tis more dear the (heart's) beating.

Even at her worst this Lady gets me all misty eyed! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I wish someone would make a video mixing this with one of the recordings of Callas as Elvira in "A te, o cara" - that would be interesting!

Me too. But because he uses exactly the style (legato, phrasing etc) exemplified here by Callas.

@MGHall07 Yes this is Callas demonstrating the beauty of the vocal line to one of her students... I think it's Mario Fusco, anywhow...

For the world 12/18/20... and my lost babe Yohan, may you return bbbbb🌹😔♥️. A te, o cara, amor talora Mi guidò furtivo e in pianto; Or mi guida a te d'accanto Tra la gioia e l'esultar. Al brillar di sì bell'ora, Se rammento il mio tormento Si raddoppia il mio contento, M'è più caro il palpitar.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!

Dans l extrait d origine de 1955 ou 1957 avec Di Stefano, celui ci chante " il mio contento " tandis que Callas chante ici "il mio tormento". Toute une différence d état d esprit.

a mi cara Maria

Jesus is Superman again.

Very interesting document. Just fooling around, I assume. The great phrasing and musicianship is only to be expected. There is such richness and authority in the lower register (lower from her perspective, that is).

I nearly am too.....

Di Stefano said he found she sang like a man. Here she has a mezzo marvelous voice. In another life she would have been a popular marvelous singer

She can sing the phone book if she wish...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@diuscorvus Well she did say she was the Cognac to Tebaldi's Champagne ;)

Déesse 🌹

Is a more complete recording available anywhere? This is so wonderful.

Proprio come la cantava mia nonna

Это поёт Мария К?

traurig

我也想和她睡觉

That is not Maria Callas

Честно говоря отвратительно. Никогда не думал что можно испортить Музыку!.. У гениальной Марии Каллас (действительно гениальной) это получилось. Беллини в гробу ворочается.
