Product Description

From Amazon.com

You can hear the vocal troubles of Maria Callas's later years just beginning to appear in this 1957 recording. Callas is usually identified with larger-than-life tragic heroines quite different from the simple bride-to-be Amina, whose wedding plans are nearly destroyed by her sleepwalking into compromising situations. But she makes the melodramatic plot emotionally credible, and she rises to the challenges of Bellini's expressively elaborate writing. --Joe McLellan


Chronique amazon.fr

Cet opéra en deux actes, au livret de Felice Romani, a été créé au théâtre Carcano, à Milan, en 1831. L'action se passe dans un village suisse au début du XIXe siècle. La pureté de la mélodie et la grande richesse du lyrisme, en dépit de la relative faiblesse de l'orchestration, ont fait le durable succès de deux des opéras de Vincenzo Bellini : La Norma et La Somnambule. Ce dernier, enregistré ici sous la direction d'Antonino Votto, a retenu notre attention. --Lina Patch

4.0 out of 5 stars My review, Feb 15 2003
By V. Chau (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I haven't listened to this recording yet. However, I am giving Callas the benefit of the doubt by giving this recording four stars. I would like to clear up some things. Sutherland had a huge voice. So did Callas. To say that Sutherland had a Wagnerian-sized voice while ignoring the size of Callas' voice in order to criticize Sutherland is very vindictive and misinformed. Also, it is not Sutherland's fault that her voice was even through all scales and all registers. I happen to like a voice with such evenness. Please do your research before writing your critical reviews and try to be fair in your assessment of great singers like Sutherland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tuneful, lyrical, gorgeous, Sep 2 2002
By A Customer
This is one of the opera CDs I pull out most often. If you don't know Callas except in her dramatic roles, you've got a pleasant surprise in store; her voice here is light and unfailingly beautiful. The tenor is easy on the ears too, and their duets are sublime. Great "easy listening" opera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Callas-more than a chirping bird
I love this Sonnambula.....The reason? Callas! Callas was born to sing such stuff. Her agilita, her trills and coloratura are mesmerizing.... The timing, the pacing....WOW! Read more

i can't believe she has the nerve to sing this. Screaming as if she was being attacked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Callas the only reason for this.
Call is always a persuasive performer, and it is well worth hearing her tackle this role. That being said, in this recording the score is cut to ribbons & the tenor is almost... Read more
