The Imperfect DivaMar 20, 2010
She was sui generis. 30 years after her death Londoners still say that her Tosca with Tito Gobbi at Covent Garden was absolutely the greatest ever. She was not perfect but when at her best she was divine.
Best of Maria CallasDec 23, 2009
Absolutely wonderful! A great selection of arias and no one can beat Maria Callas.
A great introduction to beautiful opera pieces.Nov 04, 2009
The Very Best of Maria Callas is a great mix of the various and the most popular opera musical masterpieces. The vocals stylings are done by the origional and the best, opera extraordinaire singer, Maria Callas. A great introduction to opera and famous opera pieces. If you are curious about opera, this is a great start. I am sure you will agree, it is most entertaining and enjoyable.
ExcellentDec 16, 2008
I love this CD. It includes the best performance of romantic heroines in opera by Maria Callas. I really enjoyed it and each time of listenting can be more understanding this great artist.

Now I understand!Apr 11, 2008
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!
