    3 out of 5 stars For Better or for Worse?.......2003-04-14

    This is a very interesting CD of Callas and Di Stefano. Callas' voice always bothered me: not beautiful, bottled and with strange vowels. "Oui" became Euh. Why? This seems like it should have been easily fixed as it was not just in the upper registers that it occurred. After all that time, however, she corrected the problem! I actually find her singing more enjoyable than what she recorded a decade earlier, namely the Norma and Tosca recordings. The Werther and Carmen excerpts are magnificent as there are few high notes. The duet in the Vespers is rather clumsy and ill-focused by both artists. Di Stefano is able to produce very soft notes at the top of his range (such as the end of the flower song) but you get the idea that he does it out of necessity rather than for artistic reasons. My favorite moment, though, is in the Suicidio aria when Callas has the worst wobble ever on a high note. It's quite amusing, though the aria itself is quite thrilling.
