Interesting biography

This is a well written, easy-to-read biography with lots, really lots of photos never seen before, among them - on a whole page - of Callas as Turandot. Two well filled CD:s from EMI are included - and in the last part of the book each aria is discussed in detail. Much value for a modest price. Why not five stars then? Well, the analysis of every aria gets a bit dull after a while. The book is, however, worth any price because...

Maria Callas, a biography

The author has combined in recording and words the magnificence of this great artist. This is a book all Callas fans must have. The text is well translated and Mr. Levine describes to perfection why this woman is so great in her intereperative skills. Thank you Mr. Levine from a Callas fan. All young aspiring opera singers male or female should have this book to learn what is the stuff that makes a great singer. ...

Getting to know the diva intimately

I very much wanted to know...

Life enhancing

There are those people who know all about the greatest music, the gretest artists, the best performances and there are, well, the rest of us. I've been wanting to know more about Callas for some time but am always daunted when I go into a record store and see the row upon row of recordings. Where do you start? I suppose the best introduction would be to sit down with someone who knew a lot about her, who would tell you her...

Over 100 rare black & white photographs

Maria Callas: A Musical Biography is a gloriously presented biography of stellar opera performer Maria Callas. Indeed, "La Divina", as she was called is quite possibly the greatest operatic soprano of the 20th century. The travails of her personal life, as well as her impressive public career, are painstakingly chronicles by internationally known music writer Robert Levine. Over 100 rare black & white photographs, and two...
