I could watch her all day long.
Some people were born to be superstars, none more than Maria Callas. Even without singing you can tell she's the greatest.
She's utterly captivating - on stage and off...she's beautiful to listen to and to look at...a very good interview
She seems so laid back and happy in this interview, it’s probably my favorite one I’ve seen so far. I wish it were longer! I love hearing her talk. Super classy and interesting.
So utterly charming and beautiful! Those eyes!
The personificatsion of a great diva, probably the most outstanding of the Twentieth Century.
A magnificent artist who literally changed opera. She was truly one of a kind and we will never see the likes of her again. Such a shame she's no longer with us.
She challenges it still 😊
She had no love fulfilment unlike Montserrat caballe who found love and whos voice lasted till the end at 85 x
@@judyjones2475we don’t care about her, sorry
@correoprivado9953 my idol is Montserrat caballe., I liked Maria, but Montsexwasxthe best !!
What I like the most is how serious and absolute she became when she started talking about music. Then the fancy dresses, the expensive jewelry and the spoiling husband were replaced instantly by the "Expert Boss" mode.
Wow, she knew how to give a good interview. Smart, intelligent Callas!
Oh such a rare video, thank you for the upload! How carefree and different she was before she met Onassis.. 😔
Maria was sent to all us as an angel, she is a unique phenomen on the earth, she is matchless, she can always surprise and surprise as an actress, Maria built herself, she is an alive work of art and a woman - legend, thanks alot for video
The ultimate Diva. RIP. nobody has equalled you yet...
Meir Wise and nobody will
So beautiful . I like to hear her talk about music , rather than defending her self , like she is so often put in. I know she was difficult , but I don´t like to hear her defending her self , the whole interview.
She was very intelligent and spoke several languages , so I like to hear her being free , she is a different character then .
Yes quite normal that skilled and talented people are difficult. They have their own ideas about things and that's why they good.
I totally agree with you!
Extraordinary people are only difficult because ordinary people are so lazy, boring, and entitled and simply must be taken to task by someone or the entire 🌎 will be an even bigger, hotter mess than it already is.
This interview is utterly fascinating and so deceptively simple. Well-done interview! Callas reveals her sorrow over unfair critics, her desire to be a good wife, her appreciation of her fans, and her pride in her music with her simple, elegant charm, and I am utterly captivated!!!
What a lady.
she seems so much happier, direct, and stable when married to meneghini in these earlier interviews.
2021 here..the epitome of fabulousness..a Legend
Diva,Divina, Magnífica,la mejor del mundo
What a lovely looking woman! ...as well as being a great artiste!
Delightful! It surprises me how much I enjoyed this. Hearing Callas talk about her art is most interesting.
It's interesting the mindset of women back in the 1950's. Here you have Maria Callas who was a working woman demanding a very handsome salary for her concerts, yet she is talking about ruining her husband with her excessive shopping as if she was some sort of homemaker relying on her husband's salary. By the way, I love the way that she talks--so refined and articulate. She was exquisite.
As a matter of fact she was a poor woman, married to a very wealthy man! Not only had he housed and dressed her, but he acted as her operatic manager too. Much of what she earned, at that time, was due to him...
Yes you're right and she obviously knew that she was the one making the money but I think she enjoyed playing up the housewife role in order to make herself seem more 'normal' for the women in those times. Just my opinion, but I really don't believe for a second that deep down she believed what she said here... she knew that she held the cards to her success.
J. K. Sad to say but yet so true be careful what you ask for & Onassis wanted to be accepted in worldly society & used Jackie; Jackie used him & then Ari's son was killed & it all went wrong. Like my very wise grandmother would say give free & receive free. And she would also say we will always have GIVERS & TAKERS IN LIFE. And my Grandmother was such a GIVER. (But no one's fool.)
I learned
so much from all 4 of my Grandparents & never took them for granted. These are qualities that you May not be born with. BUT they can be instilled by very good parenting and nurturing. Unfortunately, all these three individuals did not have this type of upbringing. They would also say Money Changes Everything and is the root of evil. These are all Bible-based Spanish French and Portuguese proverbs. I have always been a lover of music. But when I hear and learn of these very sad situations it seems so futile to pursue something or someone to your own detriment. I'm not a philosopher but I know the truth. They were all products of their environment upbringing etc. And now they're all asleep in death no longer suffering until they are resurrected to a better life on Earth to live forever in peace and harmony. In the Bible, Revelation 21 verses 1 through 4, and Psalms chapter 37 verses 10 through 30 gives you a good explanation about God's purpose for mankind. If you are truly interested about the truth about God and his word the Bible go to jw.org. Thank you for listening and I certainly don't mean to preach to any one of you but I feel I have a good understanding of The Human Condition though I'm a very imperfect individual I know the truth. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral. Take care. my friends. AGAPE FOR NOW. ☝💛🌏🌎🌍🇮🇹🇪🇸🇫🇷🇺🇸🇨🇳🇬🇧🇯🇵🇩🇪🇷🇺
@@hodgrix Actually, her first husband was a very wealthy Italian millionnaire.
@@pneron2032 Meneghini was for sure independently wealthy but eventually he dedicated his entire career to being Maria's manager. So at the point of this interview all the money they made was from her work.
For sure a great interview ! She was so happy and so comfortable talking about her life and her art !! I wish she was alive :(
Charming and elegant!
Amen to that, Ed Murrow was a unique interviewer. I was very disappointed in the interview done by Mike Wallace. His disrespectful questions and his sarcastic undertones were totally uncalled for.
I feel the same, he was a total pig and backed her into a corner.
@@countdownda that f...n prick mike wallas
I agree: I could not believe that Mike Wallace behaved that way toward Maria Callas. It was uncalled her. She was very sincere, charming and unpretentious despite her tremendous success.
That prick mike wallas...
Mi mas sincera admiracion a la genial Maria Callas!
Soy super admirador #1 de está Grande de la ópera,la mejor del mundo
Such an amazing and inspiring woman! She is incredibly captivating and graceful, I could just listen to her talk for hours:) what was the picture of that her husband gave her?
Her photo of madonna and baby. I love her.
It is very interesting to see how times have changed. Callas stresses here as she frequently did that the voice should be like an instrument in the orchestra. In the previous century the instrumentalists tried to imitate singers - Chopin recommended his piano students to go to the opera and listen to the great divas sing Bellini and then try to emulate their legato when they played the piano.
It goes both ways. Singers and instrumentalists should learn from one another. We each have our strengths but we are all dealing with the same thing .. music
The original post was about how Callas mentions that singers should imitate instrumentalists. I don't believe that conception has ever changed, regardless of size of orchestras or whatever. It is a musical thing. What Callas means is that a singer should imitate the note accuracy and attention to detail of a violinist or pianist, for example. She says that all of these trills and embellishments make up a part of the expression and drama of the music, so they need to be first carefully attended to, like an instrumentalist would do. Unfortunately not many singers do this. It is also true that instrumentalists should imitate singers. The goal of an instrumentalist is to sound as human, fragile, and vulnerable as a human voice.
um I don't see what's arrogant about literally repeating what she said in the interview lol if you paid attention to it
@J.K. So nobody, not even Maria Callas, can say anything about Callas, if it can be seen as a criticism? She said all that herself, not that anyone explains what she was thinking. Cheesh ...
@J.K. I have always wondered, what kind of moron only blame others, if he doesn't understand something. Now I know that it is someone who is so miserable, that only way he can feel happy, is when he TRIES to play smart on TH-cam. But only managed to play smart@ss.
Such a big video-wall in 1958? Wow!!
thank you for this!!!
Thank you for uploading this.
so expressive
This was in early 1958, shortly after the Rome Norma fiasco on 2 January. She sang Violetta, Tosca and Lucia at the old Met. Apparently the Traviata was brilliant and one of her very best. How come not one of those live performances was ever recorded?
Wow.. was 34.. so beautiful.
What a style the presenter has! Deliberately with a cigarette in his hand! Must have been a sign of 'looking cool' in those years.
Brilliant talent.
"Diva".
Classic.
Fastguitars I think she is nervous. She didn't like to do interviews, and this one comes after a rather rough period in her life.
+Fastguitars I'd like to see you do better.Loser.
Right? She's fucking creepy and looks like the spawn of Satan here. She is usually scary...but there she isn't concealing it at all haha.
Sorryscene That is just plain rude. I suggest you take your potty mouth elsewhere.
MadonnaImperia I suggest you stop telling people on the internet what to do. Also, I love Maria but the suffering in her life has made her face look scary. Mkay? Please shut the fuck up and don't dare write to me, unless you're looking for trouble.
This interview was only 22 days after the Rome 'scandal' therefore it interests me, as the reasons given then and in later interviews are not the same. This moment became a turning point in her career, as highlighted several times in the latest documentary by Tom Volf in 2019.
Do you (At the museum) have the FULL interview with Victor Borge, Sir Thomas Beecham and Maria Callas… I am trying to locate the Small World episode… Can anybody let me know?
I am looking for a televised interview with Callas from this period (perhaps the following year) where she is provoked into saying: "I have been borught to exasperating situations!" - does anyone know where to find it?
maybe you mean the other interview made by wallace.. a few years before her death
There are so many interviews one tends to get confused the Mike Wallace interview was not very good he had no clue what he was doing she seemed frustrated still very beautiful articulate expressing herself I don't think Mike Wallace even understood the art form that was kind of sad. The documentary that's coming out soon from Sony will probably have all that included it's really good I saw it on Bravo cable about 30 years ago I recorded it VHS they colorize a lot of the documentary fairly good job
@@arnoldamaral7406 mike wallas hated her with passion for no apparent reason.. that we were aware of...
I remember more the one interview he did with Maria Callas he behaved as if he was paid to literally destroy her... very sad
i wouldn't call her accent when she speaks english greek. it's mid-atlantic--halfway between british and american, similar to the speech of the old hollywood movie stars.
I don't hear Mid-Atlantic or transatlantic in her speech. I hear a Greek New Yorker who went to a good school and had a little European influence.
she has the influence of a non native speaker ...she had a ny accent as a kid but she lived abroad so much so young...i think it affected her accent and english
there is something else in her speech she left the states as a child ...
I'd call her accent European.
I definitely hear the Greek in her voice, but also the way Greeks respond and the way Greeks think..... especially in a French interview she did, even though she was speaking in French her method in responding and mannerisms were very Greek.
There was another interview he did with her and Sir Thomas Beecham, she in New York, and Beecham in London, which had some very funny moments. When Beecham spoke, he would often become blustery. At one point it got pretty annoying to Madame Callas, and, trying to restrain herself, snapped “Sir Thomas, please-you’re hurting my eardrums!” Murrow couldn’t restrain himself from laughing!
The journalists must have been very unfair to her. She can't have been a figure of scandals with such great elegance and grace. Every human being has the right to show some anger reaction at certain times. How they must have exaggerated the few occasions as suchv.
What kind of accent have maria callas when she is speaking in english ?
from france
daniel
Transatlantic with American inflections
Amen-Demeter
Extraordinary eyes...though birth was Brooklyn, NY, Callas has those Mediterranean eyes. 🌹
She was born in Manhattan at 1249 5th Ave.
Mediterranean eyes because both her parents were Mediterranean strong features like a true Greek that she was
What a wonderful lady... She makes talking about "under things" sound so charming, and dignified. Celebrities today can't help but sound vulgar. Well, after all, as of late, our lady celebrities tend to show it than just speak of it... It must be said, though she'd had nothing to do with Hollywood, Callas embodied the kind of hard glamor inherent in the old school. These days, none of that, just vulgarity and gross exhibitionism.
Rhopoe the royal families of Spain in England are very dignified & do notl conduct themselves in such a common low class manner. What do you guys think?
The great Callas talking sheepishly about her underwear. . . . . . .
Amazing voice. Shrewd . Fragile. Caustic. Liar
What a classy dame-and what a shnazzola!😂😂😂😂😂
Why are he asking about her husband, you're interviewing her.
Do you think she's making up her answers about her husband starting @4:18?
Yes. He took her money, cheated her and rejected her.
Che schifo l'atteggiamento dell'intervistatore
utube smile by john bavas
"Barbelo"
in this era ppl are\ were private and then. and she has this guy in her home.
Love Yourself this is a hotel
She dumped her husband in 1959. It seems that her dear, sweet husband was taking money out of their bank account and therefore she couldn't retire. He was putting it into investments in his name only...WTF! No wonder she was ready to run off.
Poor Callas, she wasn't lucky when it came to men.
He sold her just like he sold his construction materials.
"Ghiovanni Meneggini"... lol
A chain smoker, Murrow died of cancer at the age of 57.
Brooklyns most precious export
She’s from Manhattan. Didn’t you hear that in the interview?
@@blktenor Manhattans most precious export ......................there is that better ?
She was treated as someone to sell or use her fame.
Many actors were born in New York City, including my idol David Duchovny.
greek accent
costa magis Closer to what is referred to in theater as Standard English. It's not British nor is it American. It's actually what is taught in speech classes - de-regionalized, but perfectly articulated.
Steve Campo When She interviewed with Mike Wallace her accent was different she sounded more American. It really depends where you live traveling all over the world you pick up those different accents.Here she's been traveling all over the world that's why her English is so beautiful. Our MAYA LA DIVINA
Nope mid Atlantic
