Awards and reviews
Today, for a very modest price, all lovers of bel canto operas and their performance on record can listen and make their own judgement on what was, without doubt, a seminal recording of the genre. For me this is Callas’s finest recording in terms of interpretation allied to security of singing and this re-mastering accords it full justice.
