Yes indeed she was no Ferrari...haha...!
And certainly not the best!
Mrs.Callas was the "Madonna" of the past!
She was a trendsetter for italian popera and no more. Her technique was not bad, but her mediocre voice only one of hundreds.
Nobody like to hear her since 1958 and today this musical relict is rediscovered from maudlin YouTube freaks.
Most comments are laughable, childish and simply incorrect. I think, she is the F*g hag for american losers.

pure Consciousness

Striker.........come on!!!
Let us come to business! The truth is, your Mrs. Callas is an american opera singer and only in AMERICA a DIVA. She was a singer for italian opera and couldn't sing true opera like Wagner and the other great composers.
She is one of hundreds in the world and forgotten.
Her voice was no "Ferrari" or "Lamborghini" perhaps an american jalopy with an japanese eight-cylinder engine.
Striker, if you can't fix it, you gotta stand it!

Great voice!

Striker,
why you are so aggressiv and combative? Do you hate Mrs. Netrebko and her little son Tiago?
What's the reason why you love the voice from Mrs. Callas? Can you tell us your own opinion, but please, not the idiotic statement of BBC!
