Now I understand!
I grew up on opera but not on Maria Callas. Joan Sutherland, Schwartzkoff, Victoria Los Angeles, and Mady Mesple (to name a few) crowded the airwaves of our home growing up. I had heard that Maria Callas was THE Diva of opera and bought one of her obscure recordings from a low budget bin while in Paris 10 years ago. It didn't impress me that much. Perhaps it was recorded during her voice decline. I could certainly tell she had a powerhouse voice but many of those arias were unknown to me and I didn't connect all that well with the CD.

After reading some of these reviews I decided to give her one more chance. Surely 50 million opera fans can't be all wrong! So I bought this disc and listened to it the other day. There are plenty of pieces to listen to and her voice is a force to be recond with. I get it! She was truely great; as any opera buff will tell you - and rightfully so!

A Goddess
Callas is so incredible. No one can touch the Pathos is her voice. This CD is a great collection of her works. But don't stop here keep buying her up!

Lovely CD to have.
I like this CD very much. Great CD with superb voice. I love this CD.

Audio beauty and magnificence, Maria Callas
There are moments on this recording that are virtually audio heaven.
Ms. Callas' voice goes beyond the normal concept of beauty.

sublime
she is an angel , a voice without parallel , a collection very interesting of arias from different masters.
