Description

State of the Art Remastering!
180g Vinyl LP

Renowned soprano Maria Callas performs Mad Scenes from Anna Bolena, Hamlet and Il Pirata.

A few months after the release of the new Callas Live Remastered Edition, Warner Classics continue to release her legendary studio recitals on vinyl, using the state of the art remastering done in 2014. Mad Scenes (1958) Maria Callas did not make complete studio recordings of Donizettis Anna Bolena and Bellinis Il pirata, though, as the queen of La Scala, she enjoyed triumphs in both roles in 19571958. The vocally and dramatically demanding final scenes of both operas feature in this recital with Ophélies mad scene from Ambroise Thomass Hamlet, another coloratura extravaganza. When this recital first appeared in 1959, Gramophone wrote: This is a most remarkable record, not only for its material but for its astonishing vividness and dramatic poetry It has been a thing of much wonder for me.
