COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Callas is capturing submitted by rlsain on January 27, 2019, 5:07pm This collection of arias, for me, is soul capturing. I sing bass in a local church choir and have loved listening to opera all of my life. Callas has a strong and beautiful voice to which I'm repetitively drawn. The selected arias are outstanding ... she forcefully reaches notes in measures with high ranges and demonstrates sensitive beauty during quiet moments. This and a companion Callas CD, Pure, will draw anyone into listening to the operas from which these arias are drawn. Callas is a champion.
