We all should be grateful to have both singers' legacy. A world with just Callas or just Tebaldi would have been rather boring. There's room for both of them. Why can't we love and appreciate both?
They were both great, but if each could give a one-night only concert of their very best performances, the same night in neighboring opera houses, I'd choose Maria Callas hands down. Her voice, her singing, her emotions just give me chills and often bring tears to my eyes. Renata Tebaldi is great and I love her singing, but Maria, oh Maria!
If I had to choose between two CDs, I would choose Callas as well. But if we talk about a live performance, I would choose Tebaldi, for a simple reason: the greatness and perfection of her voice is harder or maybe impossible to get from recordings. I imagine Callas to be exceptional and moving, just like in the recordings. She's almost like a pop singer, in the sense that she could communicate and move everyone, not just those who are familiar with this kind of music. But I would be so curious, after reading so many things about Tebaldi's voice, how she would sound in a theatre. Experts such as conductors, singers and those who listened to her singing live, talk about a spectacular voice, the most perfect human voice ever heard.

Always comparing...always taking or pulling apart...dissecting the divas! Both were blessed and whoever was fortunate enough to have ever heard or experienced either of them, in person, was also blessed for having been able to. We are still blessed because we have the ability to hear them through recordings. Appreciate the fact that they and others even exist! That should be a blessing we can all agree on!
Callas rompiendo las notas con su llanto, el canto se vuelve angustia, desespero, la música es como un manto que la cubre….Scarpia la había llevado al límite….como pensaría Puccini….una mujer herida en su honor , humillada, grita, gime, pelea, sufre…esa es Tosca…esa es Callas.

@@Lorenzo-be1nmIn her best years Tebaldi sings to perfection, the voice was seamless, round, perfect from top to bottom. Callas never sang to perfection because Callas voice was flawed
This "Callas was a singing actress" vs Tebaldi was A Voice is some publicity stunt that was pulled ages ago, but fans recite this tripe as if it were the truth. It is not the truth. Callas had an enormously flexible instrument; the nuances of feeling which translate into great beauty are the essence of musicality itself.
they just had different qualities and a different repertoire. Callas had the quality of a pop singer, she could move everyone even in recordings. Tebaldi was probably the most perfect human voice you could hear in a teatre. They were both great and comparisons make no sense.
Does Callas' top wobble slightly? Yeah. But Tebaldi sounds flat, uninvested....like she's bored? Meanwhile Callas gives you CHILLS, the way she PHRASES, the way she MOVES....her eyes, her hands...EVERYTHING. Callas SINGS, Tebaldi is operatic ASMR.
It's not just that. They had different qualities and even a different repertoire, for the most part, so comparisons don't make much sense. In my opinion, Maria's greatness can be easily recognized even from recordings, while Renata should be heard live in a teathre to fully understand how great she was.
It's wrong to compare Tebaldi and Callas together. Each of them are gem, each have a different qualities. This same like each person is different. Singing, interpretation, style is different. Just saying.
In a way I agree, but on the other hand I think it's natural to compare singers who sing the same repertoire. Both of them sang a lot of performances of "Tosca", "La traviata" and "Aida", and several times they even sang at the same theatre during the same season. So I think comparison was unavoidable, but I agree that a comparison shouldn't necessarily contain a "verdict" about who was better than the other.
@@eberlinpascal2837 I agree. Tebaldi's coloratura technique wasn't sufficiently good for Traviata - or Trovatore for that matter (she recorded it in the studio).
Callas was the full package. She had the acting and singing chops. A voice that could do coloratura, yet take on dramatic and lyrical roles, both in the soprano and mezzo soprano tessitura. Tebaldi had a more pleasant and majestic tone, whereas Callas's voice was a bit harsh and murky, almost crow-like. Tebaldi lacked Callas agility, (she was in fact quite sluggish in this area) and high notes, but her sound always remained pleasant. Both were excellent bel canto singers, with very nuanced and emotive phrasing in Italian. The only thing that I wished for was to hear them sing more French and German operas (don't think they ever sung in German). But oh well. They were excellent interpreters of heroines/antiheroines of the Italian operas of the Romantic era.
TEBALDI ONLY EVER SANG IN ITALIAN IN OPERA..........BUT THERE IS A RECORDING.....A VERY PRIVATE TAPE......OF TEBALDI SINGING THE WHOLE OF THE ROLE OF CHARLOTTE FROM WETHER IN WONDERFUL FRENCH......THIS FROM CIRCA 1971.......AND SHE SOUNDS SENSATIONAL.! THIS WAS A RECORDING OF A REHERSAL AT HER HOME OF HER PART IN THE ENTIRE OPERA.
@@luigicorvi1661 Did Tebaldi ever sing Norma, or was she afraid to take it on like Renee’ Fleming. Callus’s “Norma” is a Signature Opera for Her, despite it being one of the most, if not the most difficult Operas for a Soprano, yet Callas sang it often & Beautifully 🎶
I'm so affected by the duo Callas-Gobbi! These singers are so natural on the stage. They work on the entire role, not just the famous arias, like many of singers, especially in our time.
Tebaldi was a fine singer but Maria had so much more in many ways...i simply can not compare this two artists. Never compare a pear with an apple- both are fine;-) Maria gave 100%, i love her special unique sound, frasing, her acting, her expression. Nobodys perfect but Maria was very close to. An opera singer should always be unique, distictive! Thanks for your video!
You really can't compare a lyric spinto with a dramatic coloratura.... one has a stronger middle voice they other has an easier high register.... although tebaldi sometimes screamed her high notes while callas wobbled hers.... no one's perfect
Oltre alla voce c'è altro! La vis drammatica della Callas resta insuperata, ogni volta che l'ascolto provo gli stessi brividi di tanto tempo fa. Che prodigio della natura e dell'arte! Grazie, Maria!
Tebaldi is much more vocally secure and her voice in this comparison is much more beautiful, but why is it I find Callas so much more moving? Tebaldi is an opera singer in costume, who never for one moment loses her composure. Callas just becomes Tosca. The whole of this act is an example of how thrilling opera can be. Callas and Gobbi together on stage. What could be better than that?
LOSE YOUR COMPOSURE.......YOU LOSE YOUR VOICE..........!.....WHICH DO YOU PREFER.....?.........DO YOU THINK...AS I DO........THAT TEBALDI AND CALLAS HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN NOT!.....THEY BOTH MITICULOUSLY FOLLOW THE COMPOSERS MARKINGS......THEY BOTH AIM FOR THE IDEAL.......THEY BOTH GIVE OF THEMSELVES EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE..............THEY ARE UNITED IN THE GLORY OF OPERA.. ....THE MUSIC AND COMPOSER IS THEIR IDEAL.......THATS THE APOTHEOSIS WE ALL CAN CELEBRATE TOGETHER!!!!
@@jimbuxton2187sorry, her vocal technique was precisely what allowed her to have that repertoire. An absolute soprano, like her, is supposed to have a perfect vocal technique. Which she had, like no other one. Sorry.
Both are exceptional in their own way. The Tebaldi Stuttgart video suffers from a rather static camera angle. I never saw Callas live but Tebaldi had enormous charisma - star quality. Seen from the stalls, her first act entrance provoked a palpable response from the entire audience even before the applause. Her spinto middle range better for Puccini.
Maria Callas' expression beats that of Tebaldi a million times over. Tebaldi sings wonderfully but with Callas you feel the true feelings of the character.
Callas was a great singer…perhaps the only one who could put so much of the meaning into the sound that anyone could understand the meaning. Yes a great actress and such a great singer. Shut your mouth if you don’t like her voice. It may not have lasted long, but while it did, we were all blessed.
Due soprani che hanno avuto sucesso due stelle, ma callas e' callas e non ha avuto paragoni, primo perché era una attrice teatrale e la sua musicalità e espressività non ha mai avuto paragoni senza togliere merito a signora tebaldi, ma callas musica pura un amore di donna che ha dato tutto se stessa alla musica al canto e a teatro ancora oggi è un'esempio per tutti cantanti ha lasciato un patrimonio intrigante. Non tramonta mai♥️💞♥️ grazie per il filmato 🥰
Don't forget that we're listening to their voices on youtube. In my opinion, Tebaldi's voice sounded spectacular in a theatre while Callas voice was perfect for recordings... That's the difference and that's why I wouldn't want to hear Callas sing live as I wish I could hear Renata's voice live, which must have been something really special. I heard a story (Bergonzi) about Tebaldi being a superstar while she was still studying in the Conservatory in Parma, way before her debut... when she had her singing lesson all the other students gathered outside the door to hear Tebaldi sing. Maria, on the other hand, is almost like a pop singer to me, her voice can speak to anyone and everywhere. So, if you ask me who do I prefer in this performance of Tosca, we're on youtube so I'd say Callas, but I wish I could hear Renata sing this live.
Respeto a Tibaldi pero en definitiva me quedo con María Callas, su voz hace que se me erice la piel y que sienta ese escalofrío que se siente cuando de verdad disfrutas el sonido de su voz.
2:29 Maria Callas ha hecho de "Vissi D'arte" su himno y estandarte propios. Rompió con los deseos de Puccini y consagró los suyos. Nadie absolutamente nadie se atreve a cantarla como ella lo hizo. Rompió el pianissimo y la dulzura para darnos un momento dramático, arrebatado y angustiante que nos pone la carne de gallina. ¡Viva la Divina!
What to say.... The voice of Tebaldi is wonderful but Maria Callas is Divina.... She is an organic Artist, not just a singer... A sort of miracle! That's all. You can have a lot af beautiful voices, but another Artist like Callas?... Hopefully it will, even if until now the miracle do not repeat itself
I'll take Maria Callas any day. She has a better voice and beautiful looking as well. She certainly knew what she was singing about. I don't understand why Renata Tebaldi is admired by so many people and I don't think someday I will change my mind on Tebaldi. But Tebaldi-worshippers can't even construct a legitimate and objective argument about why she is better than Callas.
Tebaldi becomes so tense when she has to reach a somewhat high note, starting around an "A" she tightens all her muscles and completely stops acting, quite often under pitched on a "B" and most of the time flat on a high "C". It quite obvious in those excerpts, just watch her body and face expressions when she prepares to hit a high note, everything freezes until the problematic note has passed, she then relaxes and gives a series of nice and luscious lower notes, pleasantly ending what ever she was singing, just like some sweet angel, to the great joy of her fans. I know, I was once one of those fans.
Tebaldi becomes tense because she uses much toraxic resonance for the high notes (of course mixed with head voice). The high note of a real soprano spinto is like this (like Tebaldi). But how Tebaldi high note sound ? Tebaldi high notes have much impact because of the "color" she has on top and because of the granitic quality of her high notes, huge high notes and Tebaldi high notes have NO irregular vibrations, her vibrato is perfect. Instead Magda Olivero high notes ? how they sound ? theay are not worth anything Miss Denis Robert, colorless, thin, and with irregular vibrations, flawed vibrato. Leontyne Price high notes have NO impact, are a threadlike. And Callas high notes are strident, light in color and with irregular vibrations, ugly
@@ginopietracupa4305 ultimately all that is irrelevant. especially to the audiences. one sounds soulless, giving us a mechanical performance, the other sounds like she encompasses entire human experience within a performance. the fact that you will know which is which without me naming names, says everything.
@@NikolaTheodore Tebaldi has much spirituality in her singing and she is noble. Callas is prententious and fake emotion, she sings everything the same, she sings Puccini like Bellini, always weeping
I refuse to compare the two. Each had something special to offer. This reminds me of the ongoing GOAT debate in futbol- Messi or Ronaldo. Both are great! And sure, Callas wins the debate for Tosca, but I am sure Tebaldi wins the debate for another role.
@Iris, if you’re saying Tebaldi = Ronaldo and Callas = Messi, then I agree with that. Ronaldo is technically a beast, taller, stronger, and better at headers, Messi overcame his deficiencies with his genius.
There's an electricity that comes from Callas' voice that hits me in so many places with such speed that I can't help but be pulled into the drama. La Divina cannot compare to any other singer.
in every way, Tebaldi was a great singer but could compete with callas in this type of role as Callas was the full monty, drama, beauty, emotion. Her acting was sublime but there again at times she looked liked she was actually feeling pain and hurting inside. She was let down as we know in her love life and died so young. Lucky nowadays with technology we can still her in some of the most moving moments of her career.
what stupidity, to say that Callas did not sing....this guy obviously has audio difficulties or fungus that impair him to listen well. Maria Callas was way more complete because she no only had a wonderful voice with great quality, but she could also interpret whatever she sang...Renata excellent not question about it, but boring as hell. Maria was an eyes catcher on stage and even outside...She was a Casta Diva and the best well know of all soprano all over the world. She did not rely on other things to put on for her lack of voice quality, as this person is trying to picture her, but uses her dramatic quality to get the best of her performer which made her a lengend
Watching Tebaldi: OK a cool singer. Watching Callas: Goosebumps all over the body and heart sped up. Callas captures you. There is no discusion here, Callas is immmortal, the rest is the rest.
@@weiliu7319 What are you talking about? We have here Callas in the very end of her career and still she is better than any Tosca ever. Its not possible to compare prime Callas to any other singer. Prime Callas is a unique phenomenon comparable only to herself in different performances. Would be greatly unfair to compare prime Callas with a fully supported soprano assoluta voice, from top to bottom, to other sopranos. A singer of Callas magnitude happened only once. As for "you have no application for singing".. if u wanna start talking about singing, we can start by the fact that Tebaldi didnt even have a trill to begin with. I bet she looked to the music score of Sempre Libera (1957) and pretended the trills that Verdi wrote didnt exist. Meanwhile, in 1957 Callas was singing Cresciutos (ascending trills) in Bolena like they were a piece of cake!
@@Tdvc the problem with this way of thinking is that you put Callas on a pedestal and thus can't fully appreciate other singers, because you're working on the assumption that Callas will always be better.
@@user-cy6xl3vd3f Evidence aplenty for that assumption. I find it so strange that with the legacy available for 60 years to all who can hear we still have such stubborn prejudice against a phenomenon that showers us with endless blessings. Such ingratitude speaks volumes.
La Tebaldi è perfetta cantante misurata, controllata, ma ingessata, con lei è una recita, mentre la Callas vive in quel canto , è più spontanea, autentica, passionale, sia nella voce che nell' atteggiamento, e per questo è inarrivabile ❤
Pav ovce said: there willbe another Tebaldi, another Monsarrat, but fhere will neverbe another Callas " unfortunately that marazmatic Domingo called that shrieking, shouting baba Netrebko another Callas??? Iwnder why Jupiter or Zeus did not struck him dumb with thunder on the spot for such blesphemy! Since that , i never listen for Domingo'recordings.thank God i can enjoy a much greater tenor, Prince of Tenors-FRANCO ACorelli.
Shall we stop for a moment to consider that since those two, no soprano has ever been able to sing the part with the same confidence and technical prowess? Tosca is not easy to sing but with them onstage you forget it and enjoy the music. With today's sopranos you're constantly reminded of that difficulty.
Not even Maria Callas liked her own voice. The first time she heard a recording of her voice she starting crying and wanted to give up singing. Eventually she was able to accept it, but she never liked it. It's not an insult to not like her voice is a matter of personal taste. I personally don't like it, I never have and I never will. For example, her vibrato is so wide that is clearly going back and forth between two notes and it makes her sound off pitch (for example, 2:44). Or the very noticeable and not too pleasant sound she makes when she inhales (for example, at 2:36 although she makes it several times on this video). Yes, she was an excellent interpreter, but to me the couple of things I mentioned (and several others) annoy me enough so that I can confidently say that I don't like her voice. And it doesn't make me a joke or ignorant or a troll or anything like that.
There is no comparison at all: Tebaldi was a 'soprano lirico-drammatico' (lyric-dramatic soprano), while Callas was the epitome of a 'soprano drammatico d'agilità' (dramatic coloratura soprano)i.e. a true dramatic soprano also able to execute fast vocal runs and coloratura and possesses stronger top notes. But here Callas had already lost much of her vocal weight and her timbre was less dark and rich than in her vocal prime(1948-1954/55) so her voice is obviously weaker. Vocally Callas had a darker and more metallic voice than Tebaldi and I do think that it was easier for Callas to sing Tosca, for it's a dramatic role and requires a strong, big and dark voice. As an actress Callas has no rivals, Tebaldi's "interpretation" was an awful joke.
Just out of curiosity : the definition 'Soprano drammatico d'agilità' was created in 1949 (recalling the definition 'soprano assoluto' used in XIX century for Giuditta Pasta and Maria Malibran) by the music critic and journalist Teodoro Celli expressly for Maria Callas, when she sang the role of Elvira from "I puritani" after singing the massive roles of Brünhilde (Die Walküre) and Abigaille (Nabucco).
I love both and with a voice like Tebaldi’s who needs acting. Callas was a Tour de force nothing like her has ever been seen on the operatic stage. She was a perfectionist and demanded the same amount of dedication and perfection from everyone working with her. The problem is no one is perfect and I think in the end all of that total dedication & perfection killed her & made lots of enemies. Tebaldi even said the first meeting with Callas was horrible. They were performing in Brazil u believe a concert and Tebaldi was singing the crowd went wild and demanded she sing an encore & the maestro said yes you have to do encore so reluctantly she did and Callas was ferocious and hit the roof went to Tebaldi’s dressing room demanding to know what the hell was going on. So Callas could be her own worst enemy. Tebaldi said Callas was jealous.

@@marcmitchel25 Yes, it was, but supposedly a reporter said “no Coca-cola” and it was attributed to Callas though she never said it. I agree, both have their strengths and were great artists.
I am really at a loss to understand how these two sublime artists could have ever been compared. Tebaldi had a ravishing vocal endowment and she was a wonderfully disciplined artist. No reason whatsoever to compare her and Maria Callas. Both had different attributes, sought different artistic goals, and really specialized in their own respective repertoires. Tebaldi was a modern Twentieth Century soprano whose repertoire was rooted in Puccini and the verismo composers, as well as a few Verdi roles. Ms Tebaldi’s voice is bright and girlish and dark and angry and hopeful and playful, as -I think- the voice of Choi Choi in Madame Butterfly should sound. Callas' art was rooted in a much earlier period (bel canto) and she had a three octave range which enabled her to undertake everything. Callas did perhaps not have the vocal velvet of Tebaldi. She was a different artist altogether. Bashing one against the other is stupid and shows an innate ignorance about music. Two different artistic approaches COMPLETELY. Both divas defined a period in Italian opera that we will not likely encounter again.
Comparing is actually very educational. Yes Callas had strong dramatic instincts. More inside the character. And Tebaldi's voice was smoother and rounder and with capacity for high pianissimo. Both wonderful.
My parents were avid opera buffs and got to see both Callas and Tibaldi live, at several venues. Dad was firmly in the Tibaldi camp, mum the Callas camp… what a childhood! Callas owns several roles, rightly of wrongly, cannot say the same for Tibaldi, perhaps with the exception of Madama Butterfly. CALLAS for me. But, I don’t have a Musical bone in my body. Tibaldi definitely has a sweetness in her voice, though projection seems missing.
We'd be privileged to see either soprano! In this role I always preferred Tebaldi for the grandeur, the phrasing and the stronger voice but Callas gives her own, wonderful interpretation. Callas was a master of bel canto.
@@eternalmariacallas2283 Ma non sono d'accordo con alcune persone (in particolare OMW) che hanno detto che la Tebaldi è una cantante orribile. Tebaldi ha una grande voce da soprano spinto, ma Callas ha una voce da soprano drammatica molto speciale con un'ampia gamma vocale.

Me da la impresion de que Callas es mas actriz que Tebaldi en esta opera. Pero cuando abren la boca uno se queda EXTASIADO POR LA TREMENDA VOZ QUE TIENEN. BRAVAS.❤❤❤❤
La Tebaldi tenía la voz más Bella, la Callas era un fenómeno como actriz NADIE SE LE COMPARA!!! . Aquí la Callas ya acusaba un tremolo pesado en los agudos.
María era el pack completo.. su voz y su actuación eran impecables, no había contrincante .. Tebaldi tenía una voz dramática con unos graves geniales pero su actuación al igual que la mayoría no eran tan buenas.. cómo sea, en tosca María Callas era la mejor
I find them both to be so good, and if I could combine the technique of Tebaldi (laser like and so supported) with the acting, emotive abilities of Callas, then we’d have utter perfection. But I enjoy them both so much and learn so much that I’m glad we have them both as separate examples to learn from. I noticed in my singing that being too emotive can take the voice off track and that’s harmful, but I mustn’t sing like a robot either. Trying to get the right mix is a lifelong pursuit.
We all should be grateful to have both singers' legacy. A world with just Callas or just Tebaldi would have been rather boring. There's room for both of them. Why can't we love and appreciate both?
Callas just shakes you to the core ✨
Zlata Toshevska I agree!!!! Wow her presence is angelic.

@@luigicorvi1661 Did Tebaldi ever sing Norma, or was she afraid to take it on like Renee’ Fleming.
Callus’s “Norma” is a Signature Opera for Her, despite it being one of the most, if not the most difficult Operas for a Soprano, yet Callas sang it often & Beautifully 🎶
@@robertn800 Even mentioning fleming in this context is ridiculous........how to croon your way through norma.
In Callas early after she sang Brunhilde, Isolda, The soprano lead in Parsifal. Check it out -- there still may be the recording of the Liebesod
I'm so affected by the duo Callas-Gobbi! These singers are so natural on the stage. They work on the entire role, not just the famous arias, like many of singers, especially in our time.
*Tebaldi was good, but forgettable. Callas was magnetic, ethereal, utterly singular.*
Tebaldi was a fine singer but Maria had so much more in many ways...i simply can not compare this two artists. Never compare a pear with an apple- both are fine;-) Maria gave 100%, i love her special unique sound, frasing, her acting, her expression. Nobodys perfect but Maria was very close to. An opera singer should always be unique, distictive! Thanks for your video!
Great but had an ugly voice,even she said the same abiut herself
You really can't compare a lyric spinto with a dramatic coloratura.... one has a stronger middle voice they other has an easier high register.... although tebaldi sometimes screamed her high notes while callas wobbled hers.... no one's perfect
Renata is a powerhouse for sure, but both are great and we are lucky to have and appreciate how every voice and personality is unique.
God, they were incredible. And Callas is just perfection.
Callas' natural voice gave more depth to her words. Ah, my soul! 🥰
Tebaldi an angel Callas a goddess !!!!!!!
Callas's "Or gli perdono" at 6:05 is bigger than the full story of 95% of sopranos
I have goose bumps
Yes it sounds so strong and wide... her interpretation also makes me see the character becoming dark for a moment.
Come on now, man. Maria has me in near tears. Don’t play so much.
Callas made me shed tears... Tebaldi makes me smile... both human temperaments hard to do... LOVE THEM BOTH!
Oltre alla voce c'è altro! La vis drammatica della Callas resta insuperata, ogni volta che l'ascolto provo gli stessi brividi di tanto tempo fa. Che prodigio della natura e dell'arte! Grazie, Maria!
A me infastidisce.. sempre solo una attrice di soap di bassa lega.
Averne ora
@@elleswan1 povero lei....
Bravissima Maria!!
@@elleswan1 ????ma scherza???
Tebaldi is much more vocally secure and her voice in this comparison is much more beautiful, but why is it I find Callas so much more moving? Tebaldi is an opera singer in costume, who never for one moment loses her composure. Callas just becomes Tosca. The whole of this act is an example of how thrilling opera can be. Callas and Gobbi together on stage. What could be better than that?
This is also late career Callas, so she is not a vocally secure as a earlier in her career.
IF YOU WANT YO KILL YOUR VOICE....THEN JUST DO AS CALLAS DOES.......AND DONT BE SUPRISED IF YOU CANT SING FOR A WEEK AFTERWARDS.
@@luigicorvi1661 Not even worth responding to (rolls eyes).
LOSE YOUR COMPOSURE.......YOU LOSE YOUR VOICE..........!.....WHICH DO YOU PREFER.....?.........DO YOU THINK...AS I DO........THAT TEBALDI AND CALLAS HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN NOT!.....THEY BOTH MITICULOUSLY FOLLOW THE COMPOSERS MARKINGS......THEY BOTH AIM FOR THE IDEAL.......THEY BOTH GIVE OF THEMSELVES EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE..............THEY ARE UNITED IN THE GLORY OF OPERA..
....THE MUSIC AND COMPOSER IS THEIR IDEAL.......THATS THE APOTHEOSIS WE ALL CAN CELEBRATE TOGETHER!!!!
what could be better - maybe Callas with Corelli? :)
As Callas once said: Callas has no rivals...!
In repertoire yes...in vocal technique....no
@@jimbuxton2187sorry, her vocal technique was precisely what allowed her to have that repertoire. An absolute soprano, like her, is supposed to have a perfect vocal technique. Which she had, like no other one. Sorry.
Both fantastic, FANTASTIC singers.
Both are exceptional in their own way. The Tebaldi Stuttgart video suffers from a rather static camera angle. I never saw Callas live but Tebaldi had enormous charisma - star quality. Seen from the stalls, her first act entrance provoked a palpable response from the entire audience even before the applause. Her spinto middle range better for Puccini.
Callas is the real Tosca. Puccini wrote that opera with Callas in mind.
I always choose callas she was brilliant 😍
Maria Callas' expression beats that of Tebaldi a million times over. Tebaldi sings wonderfully but with Callas you feel the true feelings of the character.
Maria Callas IS Tosca!
Meravigliosa la Tebaldi voce d'angelo (Toscanini dicit) ma.....ma Maria Callas era la perfezione...spaziale!! non ne nascerà mai più una così....
Grazie tante !
They both possessed extraordinary gifts....they can not be compared.
Callas scares me. I like it for a way different reason. Tebaldi has a voice like an angel.
Callas was a great singer…perhaps the only one who could put so much of the meaning into the sound that anyone could understand the meaning. Yes a great actress and such a great singer. Shut your mouth if you don’t like her voice. It may not have lasted long, but while it did, we were all blessed.
Due soprani che hanno avuto sucesso due stelle, ma callas e' callas e non ha avuto paragoni, primo perché era una attrice teatrale e la sua musicalità e espressività non ha mai avuto paragoni senza togliere merito a signora tebaldi, ma callas musica pura un amore di donna che ha dato tutto se stessa alla musica al canto e a teatro ancora oggi è un'esempio per tutti cantanti ha lasciato un patrimonio intrigante. Non tramonta mai♥️💞♥️ grazie per il filmato 🥰
I believe Callas... She lives through her character
Callas is full of fire and passion. She evokes emotion. She makes me cry! I feel no emotions listening to Tebaldi.
Exactly !! Callas gave me goosebumps💖💖
Don't forget that we're listening to their voices on youtube. In my opinion, Tebaldi's voice sounded spectacular in a theatre while Callas voice was perfect for recordings... That's the difference and that's why I wouldn't want to hear Callas sing live as I wish I could hear Renata's voice live, which must have been something really special. I heard a story (Bergonzi) about Tebaldi being a superstar while she was still studying in the Conservatory in Parma, way before her debut... when she had her singing lesson all the other students gathered outside the door to hear Tebaldi sing. Maria, on the other hand, is almost like a pop singer to me, her voice can speak to anyone and everywhere. So, if you ask me who do I prefer in this performance of Tosca, we're on youtube so I'd say Callas, but I wish I could hear Renata sing this live.
Respeto a Tibaldi pero en definitiva me quedo con María Callas, su voz hace que se me erice la piel y que sienta ese escalofrío que se siente cuando de verdad disfrutas el sonido de su voz.
2:29 Maria Callas ha hecho de "Vissi D'arte" su himno y estandarte propios. Rompió con los deseos de Puccini y consagró los suyos. Nadie absolutamente nadie se atreve a cantarla como ella lo hizo. Rompió el pianissimo y la dulzura para darnos un momento dramático, arrebatado y angustiante que nos pone la carne de gallina. ¡Viva la Divina!
What to say.... The voice of Tebaldi is wonderful but Maria Callas is Divina.... She is an organic Artist, not just a singer... A sort of miracle! That's all.
You can have a lot af beautiful voices, but another Artist like Callas?... Hopefully it will, even if until now the miracle do not repeat itself
I'll take Maria Callas any day. She has a better voice and beautiful looking as well. She certainly knew what she was singing about. I don't understand why Renata Tebaldi is admired by so many people and I don't think someday I will change my mind on Tebaldi. But Tebaldi-worshippers can't even construct a legitimate and objective argument about why she is better than Callas.
noone else can touch your heart and soul like callas
Maria!!🌸🌹🌼💐💖🌺❤
Maria fa venire i brividi e le lacrime agli occhi, l'altra ha una bella voce, un po fine a sé stessa
Tebaldi becomes so tense when she has to reach a somewhat high note, starting around an "A" she tightens all her muscles and completely stops acting, quite often under pitched on a "B" and most of the time flat on a high "C". It quite obvious in those excerpts, just watch her body and face expressions when she prepares to hit a high note, everything freezes until the problematic note has passed, she then relaxes and gives a series of nice and luscious lower notes, pleasantly ending what ever she was singing, just like some sweet angel, to the great joy of her fans. I know, I was once one of those fans.
Now that you mention the tightening up before high notes, I notice it every time.
Tebaldi becomes tense because she uses much toraxic resonance for the high notes (of course mixed with head voice). The high note of a real soprano spinto is like this (like Tebaldi). But how Tebaldi high note sound ? Tebaldi high notes have much impact because of the "color" she has on top and because of the granitic quality of her high notes, huge high notes and Tebaldi high notes have NO irregular vibrations, her vibrato is perfect. Instead Magda Olivero high notes ? how they sound ? theay are not worth anything Miss Denis Robert, colorless, thin, and with irregular vibrations, flawed vibrato. Leontyne Price high notes have NO impact, are a threadlike. And Callas high notes are strident, light in color and with irregular vibrations, ugly
@@ginopietracupa4305I so agree with you!
@@ginopietracupa4305 ultimately all that is irrelevant. especially to the audiences. one sounds soulless, giving us a mechanical performance, the other sounds like she encompasses entire human experience within a performance. the fact that you will know which is which without me naming names, says everything.
@@NikolaTheodore Tebaldi has much spirituality in her singing and she is noble. Callas is prententious and fake emotion, she sings everything the same, she sings Puccini like Bellini, always weeping
I refuse to compare the two. Each had something special to offer. This reminds me of the ongoing GOAT debate in futbol- Messi or Ronaldo. Both are great! And sure, Callas wins the debate for Tosca, but I am sure Tebaldi wins the debate for another role.
No... not really..
@@Lorenzo-be1nm yeah really!
@Iris, if you’re saying Tebaldi = Ronaldo and Callas = Messi, then I agree with that. Ronaldo is technically a beast, taller, stronger, and better at headers, Messi overcame his deficiencies with his genius.
There's an electricity that comes from Callas' voice that hits me in so many places with such speed that I can't help but be pulled into the drama. La Divina
cannot compare to any other singer.
Callas didn't interpret Tosca. Callas WAS Tosca.
in every way, Tebaldi was a great singer but could compete with callas in this type of role as Callas was the full monty, drama, beauty, emotion. Her acting was sublime but there again at times she looked liked she was actually feeling pain and hurting inside. She was let down as we know in her love life and died so young. Lucky nowadays with technology we can still her in some of the most moving moments of her career.
what stupidity, to say that Callas did not sing....this guy obviously has audio difficulties or fungus that impair him to listen well. Maria Callas was way more complete because she no only had a wonderful voice with great quality, but she could also interpret whatever she sang...Renata excellent not question about it, but boring as hell. Maria was an eyes catcher on stage and even outside...She was a Casta Diva and the best well know of all soprano all over the world. She did not rely on other things to put on for her lack of voice quality, as this person is trying to picture her, but uses her dramatic quality to get the best of her performer which made her a lengend
Watching Tebaldi: OK a cool singer.
Watching Callas: Goosebumps all over the body and heart sped up. Callas captures you.
There is no discusion here, Callas is immmortal, the rest is the rest.
You feel that way is due to you have no application for singing. If calls act in a play, you will feel the save way.
@@weiliu7319 What are you talking about?
We have here Callas in the very end of her career and still she is better than any Tosca ever. Its not possible to compare prime Callas to any other singer. Prime Callas is a unique phenomenon comparable only to herself in different performances. Would be greatly unfair to compare prime Callas with a fully supported soprano assoluta voice, from top to bottom, to other sopranos. A singer of Callas magnitude happened only once. As for "you have no application for singing".. if u wanna start talking about singing, we can start by the fact that Tebaldi didnt even have a trill to begin with. I bet she looked to the music score of Sempre Libera (1957) and pretended the trills that Verdi wrote didnt exist. Meanwhile, in 1957 Callas was singing Cresciutos (ascending trills) in Bolena like they were a piece of cake!
@@Tdvc the problem with this way of thinking is that you put Callas on a pedestal and thus can't fully appreciate other singers, because you're working on the assumption that Callas will always be better.
@@user-cy6xl3vd3f Evidence aplenty for that assumption. I find it so strange that with the legacy available for 60 years to all who can hear we still have such stubborn prejudice against a phenomenon that showers us with endless blessings.
Such ingratitude speaks volumes.
@@shaundudley4576 speaks volume about what exactly? I beg of you.
Callas for ever
I love both. They are both goddesses.
La Tebaldi è perfetta cantante misurata, controllata, ma ingessata, con lei è una recita, mentre la Callas vive in quel canto , è più spontanea, autentica, passionale, sia nella voce che nell' atteggiamento, e per questo è inarrivabile ❤
Ambas maravillosas, diosas!!!! Inolvidables!!! Admiradas y amadas 👏
I would say, I only wish there would be an opera singer these days that would be a third as good as Tebaldi or Callas were.
Pav ovce said: there willbe another Tebaldi, another Monsarrat, but fhere will neverbe another Callas " unfortunately that marazmatic Domingo called that shrieking, shouting baba Netrebko another Callas??? Iwnder why Jupiter or Zeus did not struck him dumb with thunder on the spot for such blesphemy! Since that , i never listen for Domingo'recordings.thank God i can enjoy a much greater tenor, Prince of Tenors-FRANCO ACorelli.
Shall we stop for a moment to consider that since those two, no soprano has ever been able to sing the part with the same confidence and technical prowess?
Tosca is not easy to sing but with them onstage you forget it and enjoy the music.
With today's sopranos you're constantly reminded of that difficulty.
Le amo entrambe. Ognuna con la sua voce...... ❤️❤️
Tebaldi sings the role Callas becomes the role.
yes, exactly!!!
They are both great in their own way.
It always makes me laugh when people say callas’ voice wasn’t beautiful, what a joke and what an insult to THE most beautiful voice on record
that's a HUGE stretch, all due respect to the great artist that is Callas
Some Voices are Pretty… but Pretty isn’t Beautiful. Callas will Always be Beautiful 🌟
Not even Maria Callas liked her own voice. The first time she heard a recording of her voice she starting crying and wanted to give up singing. Eventually she was able to accept it, but she never liked it. It's not an insult to not like her voice is a matter of personal taste. I personally don't like it, I never have and I never will. For example, her vibrato is so wide that is clearly going back and forth between two notes and it makes her sound off pitch (for example, 2:44). Or the very noticeable and not too pleasant sound she makes when she inhales (for example, at 2:36 although she makes it several times on this video). Yes, she was an excellent interpreter, but to me the couple of things I mentioned (and several others) annoy me enough so that I can confidently say that I don't like her voice. And it doesn't make me a joke or ignorant or a troll or anything like that.
Callas’ vocal beauty is UNDERRATED.
@@PlugInKali it does make you deaf. Deprived of the most profound artistic encounters available to the human ear.
There is no comparison at all: Tebaldi was a 'soprano lirico-drammatico' (lyric-dramatic soprano), while Callas was the epitome of a 'soprano drammatico d'agilità' (dramatic coloratura soprano)i.e. a true dramatic soprano also able to execute fast vocal runs and coloratura and possesses stronger top notes. But here Callas had already lost much of her vocal weight and her timbre was less dark and rich than in her vocal prime(1948-1954/55) so her voice is obviously weaker. Vocally Callas had a darker and more metallic voice than Tebaldi and I do think that it was easier for Callas to sing Tosca, for it's a dramatic role and requires a strong, big and dark voice. As an actress Callas has no rivals, Tebaldi's "interpretation" was an awful joke.
Just out of curiosity : the definition 'Soprano drammatico d'agilità' was created in 1949 (recalling the definition 'soprano assoluto' used in XIX century for Giuditta Pasta and Maria Malibran) by the music critic and journalist Teodoro Celli expressly for Maria Callas, when she sang the role of Elvira from "I puritani" after singing the massive roles of Brünhilde (Die Walküre) and Abigaille (Nabucco).
@Stupido Bibi you clearly know it well🤓
A joke doesn't make a career, Tebaldi does!
I would not call it awful joke, just not her best strength, or her weakness. But Renata at her best ... Superb.
I love both and with a voice like Tebaldi’s who needs acting. Callas was a Tour de force nothing like her has ever been seen on the operatic stage. She was a perfectionist and demanded the same amount of dedication and perfection from everyone working with her. The problem is no one is perfect and I think in the end all of that total dedication & perfection killed her & made lots of enemies. Tebaldi even said the first meeting with Callas was horrible. They were performing in Brazil u believe a concert and Tebaldi was singing the crowd went wild and demanded she sing an encore & the maestro said yes you have to do encore so reluctantly she did and Callas was ferocious and hit the roof went to Tebaldi’s dressing room demanding to know what the hell was going on. So Callas could be her own worst enemy. Tebaldi said Callas was jealous.

How many years after their deaths? And people are still talking. They would be thrilled! Champagne and cognac, or was it Coca-Cola....( - ;
I think it was cognac, and frankly both are good
@@marcmitchel25 Yes, it was, but supposedly a reporter said “no Coca-cola” and it was attributed to Callas though she never said it. I agree, both have their strengths and were great artists.
It's such a cowardice to compare Callas and Tebaldi...
Please, continue! haha
I am really at a loss to understand how these two sublime artists could have ever been compared. Tebaldi had a ravishing vocal endowment and she was a wonderfully disciplined artist. No reason whatsoever to compare her and Maria Callas. Both had different attributes, sought different artistic goals, and really specialized in their own respective repertoires. Tebaldi was a modern Twentieth Century soprano whose repertoire was rooted in Puccini and the verismo composers, as well as a few Verdi roles. Ms Tebaldi’s voice is bright and girlish and dark and angry and hopeful and playful, as -I think- the voice of Choi Choi in Madame Butterfly should sound.
Callas' art was rooted in a much earlier period (bel canto) and she had a three octave range which enabled her to undertake everything. Callas did perhaps not have the vocal velvet of Tebaldi. She was a different artist altogether. Bashing one against the other is stupid and shows an innate ignorance about music. Two different artistic approaches COMPLETELY.
Both divas defined a period in Italian opera that we will not likely encounter again.
Callas I Think
Callas es incomparable, juega en otra división
Comparing is actually very educational. Yes Callas had strong dramatic instincts. More inside the character. And Tebaldi's voice was smoother and rounder and with capacity for high pianissimo. Both wonderful.
Both are them in great way.
due artiste meravigliose...una vocalmente più bella,una più espressiva...idem per i due Scarpia...grazie
MARIA, SIN DUDAS.
My parents were avid opera buffs and got to see both Callas and Tibaldi live, at several venues. Dad was firmly in the Tibaldi camp, mum the Callas camp… what a childhood!
Callas owns several roles, rightly of wrongly, cannot say the same for Tibaldi, perhaps with the exception of Madama Butterfly.
CALLAS for me. But, I don’t have a Musical bone in my body. Tibaldi definitely has a sweetness in her voice, though projection seems missing.
Maria Callas
We'd be privileged to see either soprano! In this role I always preferred Tebaldi for the grandeur, the phrasing and the stronger voice but Callas gives her own, wonderful interpretation. Callas was a master of bel canto.
CALLAS IS TOSCA TO THE CORE. THE BEST EVER PERIOD.
Callas.
E vero.
@@eternalmariacallas2283 Callas è Tosca, Callas è Medea, Callas è Norma ... ecc.
@@BaroneVitellioScarpia1 si
@@eternalmariacallas2283 Ma non sono d'accordo con alcune persone (in particolare OMW) che hanno detto che la Tebaldi è una cantante orribile. Tebaldi ha una grande voce da soprano spinto, ma Callas ha una voce da soprano drammatica molto speciale con un'ampia gamma vocale.
La differenza è quella tra una bravissima cantante lirica e un' interprete!!!

As always. I love Callas not because of her impeccable acting, but HER VOICE. She is unique, she is DIFFERENT from others.
Maria callas renata tebaldi two sopranos best
Me da la impresion de que Callas es mas actriz que Tebaldi en esta opera. Pero cuando abren la boca uno se queda
EXTASIADO POR LA TREMENDA VOZ QUE TIENEN. BRAVAS.❤❤❤❤
La Callas es La Callas!!!! Única. Maravillosa. Tebaldi también ha sido una gran Tosca,.pero en este video se la ve muy señorona mayor.
La Tebaldi tenía la voz más Bella, la Callas era un fenómeno como actriz NADIE SE LE COMPARA!!! . Aquí la Callas ya acusaba un tremolo pesado en los agudos.
María era el pack completo.. su voz y su actuación eran impecables, no había contrincante .. Tebaldi tenía una voz dramática con unos graves geniales pero su actuación al igual que la mayoría no eran tan buenas.. cómo sea, en tosca María Callas era la mejor
CALLAS. Always and forever.
I find them both to be so good, and if I could combine the technique of Tebaldi (laser like and so supported) with the acting, emotive abilities of Callas, then we’d have utter perfection. But I enjoy them both so much and learn so much that I’m glad we have them both as separate examples to learn from. I noticed in my singing that being too emotive can take the voice off track and that’s harmful, but I mustn’t sing like a robot either. Trying to get the right mix is a lifelong pursuit.
