This is latter day Callas at her very best, working for her repertoire and making the repertoire work for her. Her "Tu che invoco" from La vestale is a demonstration of how Classical form and proportion can actually intensify emotion, rather than stifle it under protocol. And by 1959, she had polished Lady Macbeth's opening aria into a penetrating portrait of all-devouring ambition – not pretty, but powerfully and precisely sung. Her Rosina ("Una voce poco fa") is charming and fun, but like Lady Macbeth, don't mess with her, Callas seems to say. "Tu che le vanità" from Don Carlos is imbued with an almost fatal sadness, with no loss of nobility. The recital ends with the closing scene from Il pirata. Almost 18 minutes long, this selection gives Callas the opportunity to build a more complete character than anywhere else in the program, and the result is gripping and bigger than life. Hearing Callas sing this music pretty much ruins my chances for enjoying anyone else's performance of it in the future. Rescigno is the understanding conductor, and he leads the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra.
