Maria Callas - Gli anni d'oro Vol 1 1951-1953

Notes & Reviews:

Istituto Discografico Italiano is proud to present this 10-CD box-set featuring five memorable performances by Maria Callas, recorded when she was at the peak of her career in the first half of the 1950s. This release offers a unique opportunity to enjoy once again some of the performances which contributed to create the myth of the Greek-American soprano, and includes her legendary 1952 interpretation of Armida in Florence, the Medea of 1953 and the wonderful and much debated Norma of Trieste. Offered at half price, this box-set is a must for opera lovers.
