The Callas Legacy. The Complete Guide to Her Recordings

Scribner, 1991. Paperback. Pp: 236. John Ardoin analyzes every recording made by Maria Callas, the most influential of twentieth-century opera singers and one of the most prolific recording artists of all time. John Ardoin's expert recommendations in this biography through sound will guide both opera neophyte and opera fanatic to the best of Callas' many recordings, all of which have been reissued on compact disc, including the legendary live performances captured on so-called pirate recordings, and Ardoin also specifies which live versions have the best sound. With a new epilogue, analysis of newly discovered performances discussed in no other book, previously unpublished photographs, as well as an essay on Callas by playwright Terrence McNally written especially for this compact disc edition, the Callas Legacy remains, as Beverly Sills says, the only book on the soprano "completely worthy of her artistry."-Back cover.

La Callas

Universe, 1999. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 79. Throughout the 1950s, Maria Callas was the leading star of the international opera circuit and arguably the most flamboyant, most sought-after performer in the world. With the unrivaled quality of her opulent voice and her much-publicized personal exploits, she became an international sensation. Ultimately, she was the most transformative force in twentieth-century opera: largely due to "La Callas," opera evolved from a fashionable pastime into a popular obsession. Born in America in 1923 to recent Greek immigrants (without a drop of Italian blood), she was an unlikely future diva. As a child she was myopic, chubby, and spoke in the unrefined accent of her native New York. In 1937 her mother returned with her to Greece, where she began her studies at the Athens Conservatory and made her debut at the Athens Opera. Driven and passionate, by 1949 she was already recognized internationally as an original interpreter of the Italian bel-canto repertory. Maria Callas's rise was meteoric, and her demise seemed just as abrupt. Through the triumphs, and often self-imposed miseries of her life, she burned with the passions of a true prima donna. Maria Callas revolutionized the art of opera, influencing repertoire and singing style more than any artist this century. This book pays homage to this extraordinary diva through an enlightening text and a series of stunning photographs which capture "La Callas" in her most famous roles, at rehearsals, at recordings, and with adoring fans. We follow her first performance of Bellini's "Norma" at the tender age of nineteen, through the highlights of her career in the late 1950s, and her triumphant performances of opera's greatest heroines. Yet behind thesuccess lies a more haunting story. The great star's destiny echoed that of the tragic heroines she so often portrayed: she lived her roles, both on and off the stage, so intensely that she was devoured by them, both physically and emotionally. She spent her final years in silence and solitude, unaware of the great legacy she would leave, or of the dazzling legend that she had become. ISBN: 9780789303813. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Callas

Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1996. Pp: 261. Leonard Bernstein once called her ".the greatest artist of the world". Indeed, the inimitable Maria Callas (1923-1977) continues to fascinate and enthrall opera lovers and cult followers even two decades after her death. Her unique voice and operatic art, preserved on innumerable studio and live recordings, generates new fans with each passing year. No less captivating is her glamorous yet tragic fairy-tale life. Callas: Images of a Legend captures the incomparable musical genius and personal relationships of the star, as revealed through photographs of her stage performances, portraits, press photos and private snapshots. Photographers from all over the world - Cecil Beaton, Horst, and Gordon Parks, to name but a few - have contributed to this unusual pictorial documentation. In this gloriously produced book, Callas is seen working and relaxing with such notables as Luchino Visconti, Leonard Bernstein, Elsa Maxwell, Aristoteles Onassis, Rudolf Bing, Sir Winston Churchill, Grace Kelly, Prince Rainier, Liz Taylor, and many others. But, perhaps even more compelling are photos of Callas on stage, in the roles she made her own as Norma, Medea, Tosca, Marta, La Gioconda, Isolde, Turandot, Aida, Leonora, and Violetta. These images are revealing testimonials to the overpowering stage presence and outstanding acting abilities of Maria Callas. ISBN: 9781556704833. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Callas. Her Life, Her Loves, Her Music

Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2001. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 342. Judged by her incandescent fame and her extraordinary voice and dramatic talent, Maria Callas should have led a sublimely happy life. Yet betrayal and tragedy were her constant companions. Without doubt the 20th-century's most celebrated operatic diva, she blazed new paths, set new standards and changed the face of opera forever. Callas is both icon and myth, her private life from birth to death indelibly coloured by passion, vulnerability, rejection, the madness of a voracious press and personal tragedy. The mystery of Callas's last days, the charlatan who preyed upon her, her private angst over Onassis, her thwarted affair with the homosexual Italian director Visconti and her traumatic New York childhood and youthful struggle to survive in war-torn Greece are told here in full. This account shows us the real Maria Callas, whose craving for affection and complex neurosis affected not only her life but her music. ISBN: 9780297841289. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
