The collection benefits from the superb remastering and conveys thus Callas' compelling genius as a singing actress with a new truthfulness and immediacy: Maria Callas Live and Alive! The passion and charisma of Maria Callas, performing live on the stages of the world's greatest opera houses and concert halls, can now be experienced as never before - thanks to new audio remastering from the best available sources.
