Callas debut-role at La Scala!!,
By Emma de Soleil "I moved to the UK for another... (On a holiday In Ibiza, then back to the UK for studies) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Vespri Siciliani (Audio CD)
When the "Lord of the Scala", Ghiringelli, heard Callas as Elena in "I vespri siciliani" he offered her the prima of the season at La Scala, as ELENA. Not a certain "success" like Traviata or Rigoletto this opera must be cast perfectly to succeed. The part of Elena requires a true assoluta, since she has not only most dramatic spinto-parts to sing but a much oranmented "Bolero", the aria we all know. This is a live-recording made in Callas' prime. Sadly it's not the ultimate Vespri because Kokolios isn't the best Arrigo, but it is a must hear for every operalover. Mascherini, who would be Callas' Macbeth only a year later, sounds VERY well. Kleiber conducts BRILLIANTLY. An awesome live-recording. Five stars and more!

The Verdi style 'par excellence',
By A Customer
This review is from: I Vespri Siciliani (Audio CD)
Here you can find the greatest example of Verdi style of singing. This recording would be much better if the E.Kleiber's 'tempi'were not so slow and boring. But Callas saves the performance!
