Recording & Production
During the recording sessions in 1964 and 1965, Maria Callas's voice was in a fragile state, requiring exceptional effort to control.
Recording & Production
Maria Callas found Giuseppe Verdi's music most congenial, allowing her to fully exploit her musical and dramatic talents.
Recording & Production
Maria Callas was not satisfied with these recordings, and further remake sessions in 1969 proved unproductive.
Recording & Production
The track 'Ritorna vincitor!' was not originally planned but was recorded in a single take after Maria Callas heard another soprano's recording and decided to sing it herself.
Recording & Production
Only five tracks from these sessions were approved by Maria Callas for release on an LP called 'Callas by Request' in 1972; the remaining tracks were issued posthumously.
Performer Biography
This album is the final solo recital that Maria Callas, a renowned soprano, worked on at the end of her recording career.
