| “ | Another opera that Callas should have recorded under studio conditions, "Il Pirata" is a frequently exciting opera with some very good music. This recording comes from a live performance at Carnegie Hall on January 25, 1959, and while the sound is not exactly what one would call "state-of-the-art", it is certainlyis tolerable. In the very dramatic and demanding role of Imogene, Callas is thrilling. She is not in as good voice as she still could have been at this period, with wiry and abrasive top notes effecting some of the climaxes. Nevertheless, what she delivers is top drawer, and the audience present knows that it is hearing something quite astonishing. The final 25 minute Mad Scene alone is sufficient reason to own this performance. As was usually the case at this period, Callas' male support does not come anywhere near her level of performance. The tenor and baritone are routine, but when they sing with Callas, they somehow seem better than they actually are. Nicola Resigno conducts a rough-and-ready performance which is on the fast side, but music profits from it and it increases the tension. There is no other recording which captures Callas in this role, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the bel canto repertoire, or, of course, in the career and art of Maria Callas. | ” |
