Description

(Verdi): “the great diva at her finest….the vividness of characterisation as well as the musical imagination….sad that Callas did not record MacBeth complete”
(Mad Scenes) “this is the record which more than any other as Desmond Shawe-Taylor suggested, summed up the essence of Callas’ genius” (Penguin Guide 3*)
