Album Notes & Community Reviews

Starring Maria Callas in what is widely considered one of her signature roles, this stereo recording of Bellini's bel canto masterpiece remains legendary. Callas's profoundly dramatic, emotionally volatile vocal performance perfectly embodies the tragic high priestess, supported by the meticulous conducting of Tullio Serafin.
