Callas Lives!! November 24, 2009
Jude G. Barnes (WNY)
EXCELLENT purchase!! Top quality. Absolutely nothing wrong with the set. Just beautiful. It's in my car and I listent to it quite often. Just transports me. What an incredible creature! I still say that Callas was an ACTRESS who could sing. No one since the operatic stage to compare with her artistry. Just incredible!
Excellent March 5, 2000

The best parts of this bio are the interviews with Callas: you get a feeling for her emotions about events as they unfolded in her life. This is especially true close to the end of her life where the grief from her failed relationship with Onassis is so evident in her voice. Generous samples of Callas's key performances are also woven into the bio. I had never heard Callas sing so these samples were welcome and helpful in understanding Callas. (Her antics on the stage and behind the curtain are how you get to know Callas best. Not to mention that the samples allow you to witness firsthand the fiery, brave voice that made her famous). Overall, this was a strong, unconventional bio on a tragic heroine of the stage. I enjoyed it in its entirety.
