Maria Callas Forever (Vocal score)

Description

In this anniversary edition, Maria Callas Forever retraces Callas' best-known roles and her personal interpretations based on available recordings and access to personal archives. Included with each aria is a series of notes referring to a specific recording, whether carried out in a recording studio, during an opera performance or a concert venue. Indications regarding tempi, dynamics, articulations, phrasing, portamenti and breath marks all refer to specific recordings and performances by Maria Callas but not necessarily in the original score. An indispensable collection for Callas fans as well as vocal pedagogues and professional musicians, Maria Callas Forever is a historiography of 'La Divina' as much as it is a history of bel canto.
