Negative Positive
Title: extremely disappointing
Review: How can the listeners say that Callas sang a good Gilda? To me, her voice is not only ugly, but her coloratura sloppy and lousy. Also her voice is dark and tired at the same time. She sounds at least 30 years too old to play Gilda. The quartet went ok because Callas had a large voice, and Gobbi and Di Stefano supported her. But it is a far cry from ideal. The caro nome was boring to the max. I don't find Callas's trill to be valid, nor her coloratura. Perhaps she should stick to Tosca or Gioconda.To be blunt, this is a big disappointment on all account except for Gobbi. I'm not too fond of Stefano either. And the sound is bland and colorless. I am returning this purchase.
