• Maria Callas is still considered the opera icon of our time – even almost forty years after her death in 1977. This September, all Callas fans (and those who want to be) can experience the legacy of the super diva in a new way: all of the singer’s studio recordings, made between 1949 and 1969, appear for the first time in 24-bit / 96 kHz remastering of the original tapes.

  The prima donna assoluta in unprecedented sound purity: these are the advantages of this album, which documents the absolute highlights of Callas’ career in a very small space. The LP version contains legendary documents such as Bellini’s Casta Diva from Norma – a true hymn of all Callas devotees. Also included is the aria La mamma morta from Giordano’s opera Andrea Chnier, which became a cult hit in Maria Callas’ moving interpretation. Other highlights include excerpts from Puccini’s operas Gianni Schicchi, Madame Butterfly, Tosca and La Bohme. Individual tracks are also dedicated to the other great Italians Verdi, Rossini and Donizetti – as well as Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orpheus and Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Sans. In addition, the album contains two arias from the famous studio recording of Bizet’s Carmen, which Maria Callas never sang on stage.
