Maria Callas - Arias From Aida Attila Un Ballo In Maschera I Lombardi I Vespri Siciliani Il Corsaro Il Trovatore
Review by Misha Felicity
Maria Callas' album featuring Arias from Aida, Attila, Un Ballo In Maschera, I Lombardi, I Vespri Siciliani, Il Corsaro, and Il Trovatore is a stunning collection of some of the most iconic opera pieces. Callas' powerful and emotive vocals are on full display, showcasing her unmatched talent and range.
The album opens with the famous "Ritorna vincitor!" from Aida, where Callas' voice soars effortlessly over the dramatic orchestral score. She then moves on to the hauntingly beautiful "O patria mia" from the same opera, delivering a heartbreaking performance that is sure to move even the most stoic listener.
Other highlights include "Ecco l'orrido campo" from Attila, where Callas' voice takes on a fiery intensity, and "O don fatale" from Don Carlo, which showcases her ability to convey complex emotions through her voice alone.
Throughout the album, Callas proves herself to be a true master of her craft, effortlessly tackling some of the most challenging and demanding pieces in the opera repertoire. Her voice is both powerful and delicate, capable of conveying both strength and vulnerability.
