Callas - Trovatore 1950

“La grande vociacia“ (the big unpretty voice) of Maria Callas (dixit her mentor,T. Serafin) who was singing Isolde, Brünnhilde, Kundry, Fidelio, Turandot and Gioconda, reveals in Mexico 1950 her treasures of agility and line in the rather belcantist Trovatore of Verdi, at a time where coloraturas agilities were rather the prerogative of light sopranos. Dark and incredible flexibility at the end of the duet with the baritone.
