Lead single “Ah, Perfido Op.65 (Beethoven)” and “I Puritani (Bellini) - O Rendetemi La Speme - Qui La Voce” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. While no new Maria Callas album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Australia. Since completing 1995’s ‘Ah, Perfido Op.65 (Beethoven)’, Maria Callas fulfilled their contract with Virgin Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Exciting stuff.
In I Puritani (Bellini) - O Rendetemi La Speme - Qui La Voce Maria Callas is at his best. Get Great Moments Of… (Cd 1) and turn on I Puritani (Bellini) - Vien, Diletto, E In Ciel La Luna if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Music in Il Barbiere Di Seviglia (Rossini) - Une Voce Poco Fa is perfect as in all tracks of Great Moments Of… (Cd 1). Il Turco In Italia (Rossini) - Non Si Da Follia Maggiore - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. La Sonnambula (Bellini) - Ah! Non Credea Mirarti is beautiful, yet underrated track. La Vestale (Spontini) - Tu Che Invovo hits the heart. Lucia Di Lammermoor (Donizetti) - Regnava Nel Silenzio is astounding work of Maria Callas. I hope to keep hearing Maria Callas works for a long time to come. Norma (Bellini) - Casta Diva is really the reason why I recommend buying Great Moments Of… (Cd 1). This track is full of harmonies and gets Great Moments Of… (Cd 1) off to a relaxing start.
