Free Music Review: Get this one instead of the 1960 one
Hit: 5 Stars
I just wanted to advise people faced with the bewildering number of Callas Normas who can't afford to buy them all. They are all worthwhile, but this is definitely the best. Don't be fooled into thinking that the stereo sound warrants buying the 1960 one--her voice is so much better here that the mono sound is definitely not an issue in deciding between these two. Also, Bellini's orchestration is so thin (? that is not the word I really want to use because it sounds pejorative and I love Bellini) and simple that a lack of depth in the orchestral part is not very important in appreciating the music, and the voices are extremely well recorded, stereo could not capture these voices any better...and the vocal part is what is most important in Bellini. And this is good studio mono sound. And her voice here!!! Her 1960 performance has some grating high notes, but on this recording you actually just look forward to the high notes because it is so thrilling to hear that rich, full voice soar up to such rock solid highs (no wobbles ever) and keep such an evenness of sound. Her singing is just so much more secure and confident here. I actually got the 1960 one as well, but this is the one I always listen to...
I find the other singers range from satisfactory to very good.
This is very beautiful and is the first choice Callas Norma, in my opinion. But if you can afford it, buy them all, of course :)
