With this Abbey Road 24-bit 96kHz re-master, engineers returned to the original master tapes, bringing new clarity \u0026amp; brilliance to her legendary studio recordings. A famous backstage photo was taken in Chicago after one of just three performances that Callas gave of Madama Butterfly; it shows the soprano in her Japanese costume, snarling furiously at a bailiff who had served a writ on her - the very image of the tempestuous diva. By contrast, in her recording of the role, 'it is, miraculously,' as the critic John Osborne observed, 'the 15-year old girl and not the great Callas who stands before us.' Her genius for vocal characterization finds an apt complement in Herbert von Karajan's conducting: 'a wholly sympathetic rendering [that]brings out more of the detail of the score than I have ever heard before', wrote Gramophone.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49206059172082,"sku":"WCL634099.2","price":19.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/2777067.jpg?v=1778859157","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/puccini-callas-madama-butterfly-music-cd-825646340996","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
