Title: ALIBERTI DOES CALLAS
Product review: Opera lovers take note. At your next party put on this CD and ask everyone who's singing. 9 people out of 10 will probably say "Someone who's trying to imitate Callas". There you have the plight of Lucia Aliberti.I've often wondered if Madame A's true vocal mechanism mirrors La Divina's coincidentally or if the lady is REALLY on an all out mission to resurrect the voice of a ghost. I just can't be sure. In the meantime on this CD there's plenty of inaccuracies in intonation, no trill, lots of wobble and high notes that sound really pressed. Likewise missing are subtleties in vocal colors and phrasing, and some really odd candenzas - all things that Maria Callas would never have let get past the studio. My understanding is Lucia Aliberti makes some kind of living in Western Europe where I guess people aren't as picky as I.
