Callas at her Best.......2005-01-16
This Cd shows the Callas vocal phenomenon that she was during the early stages of her career. From the whirlwind voice that was her Turandot, to her amazing Norma from Teatro Colon, this certainly is a CD that you should never ever miss. Despite the quality of the sound (this recording originated from paper tapes in Teatro Colon), it captures Callas in her best form. With gargantuan high notes and sheer power in her singing, this CD disproves every bit of the hype about her "ugly" voice. It was just sad that she wasn't able to maintain her voice during the latter part of her career. If she was only able to preserve it, I believe she could have been the greatest Turandot of all, even better than Birgit Nilsson. Her Wagnerian size voice could easily penetrate any large orchestra, even until the late 50's. Honestly, with that kind of sound, how could Callas not be the greatest of all divas? If only she had recorded Turandot and Wagner and Norma earlier....sigh.
The Queen of Opera!.......2004-01-14
Here Callas can be heard in PERFECT shape, she outsings EVERYONE on this recording. The perfect Norma, simply incredible! The person who's saying that Callas sounds "tired" obviously never listened to this CD because Callas is breathing fire here! And the GORGEOUS Norma-Duet with Barbieri... GLORIOUS!
unlistenable.......2003-05-26
You simply can't sell cds with sound like that. Besides that, Callas can't be heard and when she is, she sounds tired.
captures Callas in her best voice.......2000-09-17
My, my, I never knew she could sound like this, too bad Callas lost her big sound so early in her career. Norma being one of my favorite operas, I was surprised at the 25 yo soprano being able to sing it so well at this stage of her career. Casta diva is actually even better than the one Callas did with Stignani. I also find her to be more even in her attack of the coloratura passages. But I am never surprise with her acting powers. ( my favorite Opera cd is her Tosca with Gobbi ) But, here, in her youth, she already show signs of greatness. A most powerful and magnificent cd! P.S. the sound is pretty bad, but for that period, it's acceptable.
MARIA CALLAS' FIRST "CASTA DIVA" LEFT FOR POSTERITY.......1999-12-06
A recently unearthed live recording of Maria Callas, one of the most famous and influential opera singers of all times, was first issued on Divina Records by Pablo D. Berruti last July. On this CD, you can hear the first part of the gala concert celebrating the Argentine Declaration of Independence that took place in Buenos Aires on July 9, 1949. Callas' participation consisted of the recitative ("Sediziose voci"), cavatina ("Casta diva") and cabaletta ("Ah! bello a me ritorna") from the Act I of Bellini's NORMA, all unpublished and unheard for fifty years. This is one of the first recordings ever to have captured the great voice of Maria Callas, and the very first time Callas' singing of one of her signature arias was recorded (her first public performance of it dates, according to one source, from July 4, 1938). For the record, only six of Callas' ninety Normas were behind her when she sang this excerpt on July 9, 1949.
This is the first commercial release of Divina Records (catalogue number: DVN~12, ADD, mono), and it will probably leave the listeners in amazement at the brilliance of Callas' achievement. The scene sung on the Buenos Aires concert had been performed exactly four months before Callas' first studio recordings, which included "Qui la voce" from I Puritani, "Liebestod" (in Italian) from Tristan und Isolde, and "Casta diva" from Norma (first issued on three Cetra 78s in May 1950). Many critics have praised the 1949 studio version of Callas' "Casta diva", the first of her three studio renditions of Bellini's most famous cavatina. However, the Buenos Aires concert performance is in every respect superior to it, and to a considerable degree. This could be, in fact, Callas' best live recording of "Casta diva". In comparison to the studio version made four months later, Callas sounds far more relaxed and inventive here. This is a rich voice of limitless possibilities, fresh and beautiful in timbre, literally sculpting Bellini's long arches of sound with utter effortlessness. The legato lines are pure perfection, the vocal ornaments impeccable, the interpretative details telling. In no other Callas recording of this aria will you hear such memorable effects as, for instance, the wonderful hush on the word "ardenti" at the beginning of the second verse. The beauty and lightness of the B-flat in the cadenza and the way she "caresses" the descending chromatic scale that follows are hard to describe. The cabaletta, sung in the purest belcanto virtuoso style, is delivered with more freedom and spontaneity than on the Cetra commercial recording. As if this were not enough, Callas caps the cabaletta by a superb, rock solid forte high C, completely dominating the chorus and the orchestra at one point. As on Cetra, she approaches the high C from the lower G, but holds it longer, achieving greater steadiness (the same note on the Cetra recording would not be ideally steady). Most incredible, however, is the fact that such accomplished singing of one of the most taxing bel canto scenes as heard on this recording came from a woman of twenty-five.
In addition, the Divina Records edition offers the complete surviving excerpts of the performance of NORMA in Teatro Colon (June 17, 1949) with Callas, Fedora Barbieri and Nicola Rossi-Lemeni (Callas' third Norma sung in public, by the way). Her voice was captured only in the first-act duet "Oh, rimembranza", and it is the only document of her partnership with Fedora Barbieri in this work (an exceptionally expressive and memorable Adalgisa, if judged from this recording). Of the numerous mezzos whose voices were captured together with Callas' in NORMA (Barbieri, Simionato, Stignani, Nicolai, Pirazzini, Ludwig, Cossotto), I have never heard a more engaging and exciting Adalgisa than Barbieri's is in this eight-minute excerpt. Although it has already been issued on several CD editions (Melodram, Gala, Eklipse), the superiority of the Divina Records release in terms of sound is unquestionable - it has been remastered from the original paper-tape source. This, together with the recitative, cavatina and cabaletta performed on July 9, are the first documents (alas, incomplete) of Maria Callas in the role most closely associated with her. With years, her singing of Norma's lines would become deeper with meaning, but the fresh, easy freedom encountered here would not be repeated.
Had the singing not been as great as it was, these excerpts would have still been worth acquiring. In addition, a performance of Marguerite's scene from the third act of Gounod's FAUST, handsomely sung by the young Argentinean soprano Helena Arizmendi (who also sang Liu to Callas' Turandot during the same period), and an early document of Nicola Rossi-Lemeni's Oroveso. While he would record the role for EMI in 1954 with Callas in the title-role, Rossi-Lemeni's voice would lack the smoothness, power, and homogeneity heard in the introductory scene with chorus ("Ite sul colle, o Druidi") on this CD.
All material published DVN-12 (except the Norma-Adalgisa duet) has been issued for first time on compact disc. The CD booklet (twenty-eight pages in all) consists almost entirely of press reviews, transcriptions of radio commentaries, Callas' letters to her newly wed husband Meneghini (who was obliged to stay in Italy during her Buenos Aires engagement), and some very rare photographs. The booklet presents the original Spanish with English translations.
An interesting footnote: there are no fewer than nineteen complete versions of Callas' "Casta diva" preserved in sound (plus both of her Juilliard master classes on it, during which she sang few lines). They range from Buenos Aires, 7/9/1949 (this recording), to New York (master class), 3/2/1972. Of the studio versions, I would single out the first EMI (1954) as the best; as far as the live material is concerned, the Buenos Aires performance may well be the most impressive (although the 1952, 1953, and 1955 versions are also vying for honours).

Under-recognized........2005-11-03
Steve Jansen and Richard Barbieri have often been overshadowed by the rest of the former members of Japan-- David Sylvian's career has been a thing of astonishing leaps and bounds, and Mick Karn, having the most unique voice on his instrument in his generation, gets a lot of attention, and justly so. But along the way, Jansen and Barbieri have crafted a series of albums-- admittedly their stab at Japanesque pop (The Dolphin Brothers) was by and large a failure, but the rest of their material is noteworthy. In particular is "Stone to Flesh", the only album the duo produced which I feel really satisifes the enormous potential the pair bring.
An album of atmosphere and mood, each of the six pieces (all between seven and ten minutes) generates an atmosphere and swirl as layers of synths come and go. Jansen's trademark percussion drives things forward-- Jansen also reminds us that in addition to being a master of taste and character as a percussionist ("Closer Than 'i'"), he also also capable of setting up driving rhythms that never fall into the track of getting in their own way ("Sleepers Awake"). Additionally, Jansen sings on three cuts-- his voice reminiscent of his brothers but a bit more fragile and somewhat more limited. Jansen ever barely seems to get above a whisper, but the effect can be as startling as his brother (this is not, by the way his first album as a vocalist as indicated in Amazon's description-- he also sang on the aformentioned Dolphin Brothers project).
It's hard to describe the album without falling into the usual ambient cliches, but nonetheless the touch of world influence, particularly in the rhythms and the downright Turkish sounds of "Ringing the Bell Backwards" is obvious, still, this is closer to ambient music, even the vocal tracks.
In it's own way, "Stone to Flesh" is a masterpiece. It will not appeal to everyone as its low key groove isn't everyone's thing, but fans of Sylvian, Porcupine Tree's more ambient works, Eno, or even Gabriel will find much to enjoy here. Highly recommended.
A Must For People Who Appreciate Music.......1999-06-03
A most excellent example of their work. Well worth listening to, especially track 6, "closer than i", a very moving song with great vocals by Steve Jansen. They just keep getting better!

Customer Reviews:
Inconsistent and somewhat incoherent collection........2005-04-12
"Beginning to Melt", the first album released under the name of the three members of Japan other than David Sylvian, is really not quite the group album it claims to be-- essentially, its a sampler of material by these guys-- three of the seven tracks feature the trio, with one song each being a duet between each member and David Torn and one piece by Barbieri and his wife.
The group pieces are by far the best on the record-- the title track is a rambling piece, with a milky rolling bassline courtesy of Karn and a laid back beat and bizarre synth and guitar effects that doesn't quite ever get boring. "Human Age" features vocalist/guitarist Robby Aceto to great effect, although Karn's bass is mixed way too low-- what he's doing is fascinating when it can be dug out, Aceto's voice and playing are decent enough and he holds his own with this fantastic ensemble, the song itself has a feel similar to the Rain Tree Crow stuff that was more vocally oriented. The final piece featuring the three principles is "Ego Dance", which also features long departed (and out of public view) Japan guitarist Rob Dean on guitar. Unfortunately, this reunion is somewhat
Richard and Suzanne Barbieri contribute "The Wilderness", a decent song which is about what you'd expect, soaring vocals and a great synth cloud. The three Torn duets are also somewhat interesting, although only Karn's rose above the level of background music and even that isn't entirely engaging.
Regardless though of how the material is (and much of it is good), this feels like a compilation and not a record, and this hurts the album too much (odd, since the second full length JBK release suffered from a lack of any individual identity). Nonetheless, a few of the songs are good enough to make this worth having for fans of these gentlemen, but its not a particularly engaging piece.
