Puccini : Madama Butterfly

Maria Callas (2023 Remastered, Milan 1955)

3 disc(s) - 39 track(s)
Total length: 02:18:34

 

Unhappy love, a sentiment unfortunately universal, which every woman deceived by words she expected to materialize, and which comes to destroy the most fragile among them, is undoubtedly the great theme of Puccini's masterpiece: Madama Butterfly. An opera both of extreme delicacy and of overwhelming dramatic tension, it finds in Maria Callas the perfect ambassador.

We are in 1955, three months prior to her three exceptional Butterfly performances on stage in Chicago, she joins maestro Karajan for the eternal recording of her complete studio version. The conductor surrounds the diva with love, who, at the height of her art, draws an unforgettable portrait of the heroine, reaching a melodrama at the level of Greek tragedy..

It is no longer possible to put words when Art reaches such a degree of emotional intensity and mastery...

Enjoy your listening
