Customer Reviews

I loved this!
I bought this to find out who was "right" there have been many debates... And mind you, I'm a beauty-purist just check my nickname, but I loved this recording. To me the voice of the century might always be Gruberova but Callas definitely sang a greater variety of roles and sound stupenduos. Just magnificent!

Callas IS La Divina!
Callas lives up to her title of "La Divina" in this CD. The arias that are compiled in it are the most beautiful ever written. Callas is at times powerful, seductive, tragic. but most of all , elegant. Simply beautiful. I especially liked the songs from "CARMEN" and "FAUST" songs that she never performed on stage but recorded them in a studio. I loved it and listen to it over and over.

The Queen
I cannot think of a more soothing and pleasing voice to listen to on the road than the beautiful metallic tone of Maria Callas. There are none of those silly tricks and trying to sing well that you hear outta all the other sopranos. She doesn't have to try. Her singing is sure and confident and she has this endless range of even tone. Favorites on this album are the Dinorah Shadow Song, the Lakme Bell Song, Lucia, and Sonnambula. This is also I feel the best compilation album out there. It just offers so much! Two Cd's of brilliance for the price of one!
