As you know, I'm a HUGE fan of Callas as well as Sutherland. And I adore this duet. I even find this duet to be more of a favorite than the two Norma/Adalgisa duets. That said, Callas sings a "In mia man alfin tu sei" even better in Rome in the same year. Type in... "in mia man rome" on YT's search. And it's take you to that staggering performance. A bonus is that that video also shows a slideshow of Callas' emotions that fits the music perfectly. The only down side is the english translation interferes with the video. I hate translations. Anyone who is watching Callas sing "In mia man alfin tu sei" don't need the translation since they already know the lyrics or understand Italian. Callas captures every nuiance of Norma's emotions to the point of ridiculous!

In mia man, alfin tu sei is my favorite piece from Norma besides the trio and Casta Diva. I love Callas to the end of her career, the same with Sutherland. They are the two icons of opera that I can't live without. I am totally aware that after her weight loss the voice was not the same. Although in the 1955 Rome recording, you only hear her slight decline when she screamed the high C at the end of the duet. The fantastic sync of the photos with the lyrics is riveting. And even with the weight loss, she still matched del Monaco's HUGE voice in volume.

This scene defines Norma's character more than any other scene from Bellini's masterpiece, Norma. I agree...Bellini is the King of bel canto and Norma and Puritani(apples and oranges) proves without a doubt, he is the supreme maestro of bel canto. I adore Donizetti's Lucia, but Norma is the epitomy of bel canto Next in line...Beatrice, Sonnambula and Puritani. And Donizetti's Borgia, Anna Bolena and Roberto Devereux.

Literally no one ever did that. But! In Norma Caballe is just equal to her. Maybe just because she idolised her she could produce those sounds like her.

@@andity1 Caballe, of course, had the more beautiful sound. Her coloratura could often be aspirated, whereas Callas's was always legato and clean. Also, Caballe never could sing a real trill, but often substituted a kind of a goat-like bray in its place. Callas, on the other hand, had solid and often huge trills in every register. And she could even do a messa di voce on a trill (1953 Scala trovatore, d'amor sul ali). Caballe's Norma in Orange is probably her greatest moment as a performer, and after Callas, it's probably the best out there. Unfortunately, Caballe sleepwalked through too many performances, and she frequently omitted the text and just vocalized on a vowels. She also began using her pianissimi as a gimmick, often substituting a pianissimo where the composer wanted a forte, especially in the high notes. Some of her performance (her Medea, especially) were just embarrassing. A friend of mine once met Caballe at a dinner party in Germany, and they talked for a long time. The conversation came to Callas, and Caballe said that Maria could look at a score, and immediately see all the shading, all the colors, and all the nuance in the role. She was actually rather puzzled why these weren't so obvious to everyone else. Caballe also said that Maria would look at a very complicated coloratura passage, hum it to herself, and then sing it out perfectly, whereas she herself had to practice it for a week or so to get it into the voice. She said that was one of the many abilities Callas had that she envied. I love both singers, but Callas was in a universe of her own.

I can't conceive of a better rendition of this duet. Callas's oft noted differentiation of "Sì, sovr'essi alzai la punta. / Vedi, vedi a che son giunta!" is as moving now as first I heard it. I can't imagine how the Scala audience felt with her launch into "I Romani a cento a cento / Fian mietuti, fian distrutti" -- probably out of their minds! MDM is marvelous too, and the sound quality is amazing! It's clear without being thin, as in too many versions I've heard.

Es increíble (y estomagante) el número de comentarios que ponen el acento, no en las condiciones técnicas, estéticas, musicales o dramaticas de Callas, todas ellas extraordinarias desde mi punto de vista, sino en decir que la suya es no sólo la mejor versión de la Norma sino la única posible. Ya está bien de comparaciones y de tratar de imponer el propio gusto a los demás como si fuera verdad revelada y no una simple cuestión de preferencia. La _Divina_ fue muy grande. No se merece la manada de cenutrios que se reclaman sus fans.

Del Monaco aquí con una voz de bronce, masculina y en una de sus más brillante manera de dar vida a un papel difícil y encerrado entre el miedo y el amor. Luego de esto nada más hay. Callas eterna. Actualmente nada existe que se les asemeje.
