Bellini: Norma - Callas, Corelli, Ludwig, Zaccaria, de Palma, Vicenci, Serafin (1960) [Subtitles]
This 1960 Norma represents Maria Callas’s final complete documented version of her signature role. Seven recordings of the opera exist with Callas (1950-60), plus numerous snippets and scenes captured between 1949 and 1965. With 89 performances, Norma is Callas’s most performed part; certainly no other 20th-century diva is more closely associated with the role, and no one since has even remotely eclipsed Callas in the perception of opera lovers.
Countless moments, too numerous to catalogue here, raise this Callas Norma to the level of genius. From a haunting ‘Casta Diva’ to a final scene of incomparable grandeur and sweep, in every startlingly brilliant detail, Callas is Norma.

In the six years that had passed since 1953, and her first recording of Lucia di Lammermoor, Callas’s voice had maybe become less robust, but her singing had become still more perceptive. As Gramophone said: ‘Mme Callas has refined her interpretation of the role, and made it more exquisite, more fascinating, musically and dramatically more subtle - in a word, more beautiful.’ Experience Maria C...

Es siempre una emoción escuchar esta hermosa melodía ....reconforta la vida y nos transporta
Ein Meisterwerk von einem Meistersänger vorgetragen ein Gänsehautvergnügen wundervoll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song
vi è un errore di elenco del cast, quello menzionato si riferisce a Turandot !!!
That high F... she nails it so perfectly. Easily the best performance of this aria I have ever heard
❤ so beautiful. Just what I need now.
José Carreras, su voz es imponente, escuchar cantar aranjuez y oír su melodíosa y impresionante voz es lo más maravilloso del universo, mil gracias por compartir aqui en UA-cam, mil abrazos, mi nombre es Liliana desde Ciudad Rosario-Argentina ❤❤❤🇦🇷
He spanked that last note like an unruly child!
Es la mas sublime cansion .para mi .no puedo dejar d escuchar !!! 💞
Well timed.. tysvm 🤝
The role does not fit for callas.
"...I will win, I Will Win, I WILL WIN!!!
So exquisite….yet tragic
Simplesmente lindo !!!!
This recording is underrated! I haven't heard a better performance of this aria. Countertenors should not reach for one of the greatest soprano arias of the Baroque (Note: I am fascinated by the voice of many countertenors!).

So beautiful. Love it. ❤
Amazingly beautiful

Bravo pour cette excellente initiative de faire cette vidéo en utilisant en fond les 2 artistes (Sabine & Marianne) qui subliment ce Duet. Etant Françaises, elles l'expriment à la perfection...De plus faire ce travail d'afficher à l'instant t les paroles de chacune des protagonistes du Duet est déjà délicat en soi mais permettra à tous les non Francophones de comprendre les paroles...et pourra être également utile aux Francophones...
❤️
Truly overwhelming.
Las mas grande obra musical.
Bellini is genial composer
Mad scene: "Spargi d'amaro pianto" 1:30:34 Powerfull and exquisite! My favorite recording ever! Callas or anyone.
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

Callas is wonderful, but too Guiot, Gedda, Massard and all, and Prêtre incredible. The choir, the orchestra. The best really
Não a toa Plácido Domingo o ajudou num momento muito difícil de sua vida. Ele Plácido falou que não podia não faze-/lo e se arriscar a perdermos uma das vozes mais lindas entre todas.. vindo dele que elogio que marca muitas etapas da música em todos os tempos..
