Maria Callas Sings Verdi At La Scala DMM 180g Import LP (Vinyl)

180g LP Original Album!

Maria Callas (December 2, 1923 – September 16, 1977) was a Greek-American soprano, and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century. Many critics praised her bel canto technique, wide-ranging voice, and dramatic interpretations. Her repertoire ranged from classical opera seria to the bel canto operas of Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini and further, to the works of Verdi and Puccini; and, in her early career, to the music dramas of Wagner. Her musical and dramatic talents led to her being hailed as La Divina.

This “Callas Sings Verdi at La Scala” was originally released in 1959. The performances are with the Orchestra of La Scala Opera House in Milan, led by Tullio Serafin and Antonino Votto.
