Customer Reviews of Verdi Arias III
CALLAS' LOWEST NOTE: LOW F SHARP !!! This is one of Callas' compilations that can very well bring sadness to her lovers as for in many arias the deterioration of the voice is obvious. Of course the genius is there more sparkling than ever but Time is different for different artists.
Mozart was able to conclude what was an unrepeatable Musical Work by the time he was 33!!!
Vincenzo Bellini with his perhaps not so superior Harmony and Orchestration capabilities managed to compose the Greatest Opera of all times, Norma and many other masterpieces by the time he died aged 33 too!!!
Callas had concluded the Operatic Lessons she was born to give with her last revival in 1961 of Poliuto by Donizzeti. Aged only 38 years old... By the time she was 41 years old in 1964 the Great Heroines had stopped "living" inside her throat and one by one abandoned her; Lucia was the one who Went Away first in 1959.
..By the time she was 41 years old Callas had changed the face opera into B.C. and A.C...
But as amazing as it is in this compilation, in the aria "Arrigo" from Il Vespri Siciliani, the vocal miracle shines for one last time. In the final chromatic descent Callas reaches her lowest recorded note and what is a note that many contralti LACK and never reach: a low F sharp thus making her recorded range of three unbelievable Octaves from low F sharp to high F (at the end of the quartette in Rossini's Armida) prooving that Callas' voice was indeed a contralto, a mezzo soprano and a high soprano coloratura as well.
Also in this recording you get Callas' last recording of Ritorna Vincitor. It is said that Callas was very tired that day vocally so she didn't want to record that... so Rescigno did a witty trick, he played a record to her with other singers singing Ritorna... Callas went so mad with the incorrect reading of the aria by other famous voices that she sang it with Fury... A fury that is extremely obvious here...
