Voice Within the Heart by Maria Callas - Opera Music CD | Classic Vocal Performances | Perfect for Relaxation, Romantic Dinners & Classical Music Lovers

Don't let the price or the fact that these selections were recorded between 1952 and 1961 fool you! The sublime voice and artistry of this legendary singer are well preserved in these recordings. In addition to a great singer, this album offers some of the best and most sensitive interpretations of the orchestral accompaniments by conductors such as Tullio Serafin, Gabriela Santini, Victor de Sabata, Antonio Voto, and Georges Pretre. Their sensitivity to Ms. Callas is unparalleled and contrasts greatly with their vigorous orchestral passages. Some of the best and most well-known arias of the mezzo-soprano repertoire is included as well as the aria "La Mamma Morta" from the opera Andrea Chenier by Umberto Giordano, the same aria used in a famous scene from the movie Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. This album's most impressive point is the sound quality given the age of the original recordings.
