Maria Callas 100 Best Classics
With a flair for the dramatic (on stage and off) and a singular soprano, Callas took the opera world by storm-and so should this: 6 CDs with 100 classic performances from her celebrated EMI catalog, all for 20 bucks! Her recordings of Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Verdi and Puccini join French-opera favorites ( Carmen, Faust, Manon ) and a volume of powerhouse performances called Dramatic Heroines . Like Callas herself: unsurpassed.
