It is particularly good when the singers are facing the audience in solo arias and duets, but less so in ensembles. Nelson - Berlioz: Grande Messe Des Mort She leads the ensemble in the second scene of the act with a bit too much power (in later performances she sounds more shattered). She reads the character here as doomed, depressed, and sickly from the start; she begins to live when she meets Alfredo. As I said, later in her career Callas began to understate certain things she underlines a bit too much here–but still, this will make a worthwhile addition to your Traviata collection, and it has not had the circulation that many others have enjoyed.Please click on the link below to watch the video review.

Still, I am glad to have this record of Callas in excellent form on opening night and, it becomes apparent in the second act, this might be one of her finest performances as Violetta – although I believe her Act III performance to be better in the Lisbon recording (I will discuss that later on in this review).I love the recording and have no problem with the sonics But it is a very compelling performance. Chestnuts galore. The “Parigi o cara” duet with Valletti is a perfect frozen moment of lyricism before the character becomes manic, then rails against the heavens and dies. Overall this is an enjoyable performance. Ga naar primaire content.nl. La Traviata. This one is admittedly from “a private microphone placed close to the stage, possibly in one of the boxes adjacent to the proscenium arch.” The source has been digitally remastered by Paul Baily and billed as ‘ambient mastering,’ however, I’m not sure I detect much ambience. Although this performance from Covent Garden has been in my collection for some time, I just gave it another hearing and am completely devasted by Maria's characterization. I love the recording and have no problem with the sonics. The voice actually lightens when she realizes there’s hope near the end of the first act, and the double aria is spectacularly read and sung.

Callas is at her best except for the E flat ending the Sempre libera. Just listen to her reply to Germont "E vero, e vero!" This review can be read alone or as a supplement to "The Three Callas Traviatas" -- my reviews of the 1953 Cetra studio recording on Naxos Historical (4 stars) recently re-mastered on Warner (2014), the 1955 live Milan recording on EMI (3 stars), and the 1958 live Lisbon recording originally on EMI but remastered from the broadcast tapes by Myto in 2008 (5 stars).With this 2011 release of the live London 20 June 1958 Covent Garden performance of La Traviata on ICA Classics, we now have a fourth commercially available recording of Callas in the role in which she excelled since her debut as Violetta in 1951.

And overwhelmingly Callas does just that! Taped on July 17, 1951 in really bad sound, with a shockingly ill-rehearsed, ragged chorus and presented under the uninteresting leadership of Oliviero de Fabritiis, this performance of Traviata was the first (of 7) starring Maria Callas that has been documented.
