  Release date: 15-03-2014(originally released in 1964)2009 EU repressed on 180g 3LP boxset-Her outstanding portrayal of CARMEN as you have never heard it before Warner Classics proudly presents a 180g 3LP edition of Callas' legendary Carmen, an exact replication of the original release, including a full libretto in LP size. The master-tapes used for this exceptional and limited edition come from the Paris vaults, where they were lying for half of a century, and were the one and only set of tapes approved by Maria Callas.Newly Remastered fro the original Stereo tapesTowards the end of Maria Callas’ career, there were many rumors that she was planning to perform Georges Bizet's Carmen on stage. This was never to be, but Carmen became her penultimate complete recording of an opera – and her only complete recording of a French opera. With Georges Prêtre, one of her favored conductors, and the ever-stylish Nicolai Gedda as her Don José, she captured every facet of the role. As Gramophone said when the set was first released: "Callas' musicianship is scrupulous...Hers is a Carmen to haunt you."A dedicated producer, Grammy Award-winner Andrew Cornall, was assigned to the Callas Remastered project at London’s Abbey Road Studios. When Robert Gooch, a former sound engineer who worked with Callas on a number of her recordings, heard some of the remastered tracks, his response was: "I’m amazed, I’m absolutely amazed...It’s a revelation. I was practically in tears...That voice of Callas has such an effect on me."Warner Classics proudly presents a 180g 3LP edition of Callas' legendary Carmen, an exact replication of the original release, including a full libretto in LP size. The master-tapes used for this exceptional and limited edition come from the Paris vaults, where they were lying for half of a century, and were the one and only set of tapes approved by Maria Callas.

Maria Callas never sang Carmen on-stage, but the role seems custom-made for her strengths -- Carmen is fiery, volatile, infuriating, seductive -- and Callas is such a superb singing actress that she conveys the character's complexity with rare effectiveness. The critical acclaim and public affection for Callas' Carmen put it very high on any list of preferred versions of the opera. She has a terrific supporting cast, including Nicolai Gedda who is in excellent voice and who makes a believable, tragic Don José, a performance that has been deemed among the finest of his career. Andréa Guiot is a sweet Micaëla, and the rest of the cast is strong. Georges Prêtre leads l'Orchestre du Théâtre Nationale de l'Opéra and the Choeurs René Duclos in an exciting, idiomatic reading of the opera. EMI's sound is clean and present.=allmusicTracks:A1 Acte 1 PréludeA2 Sur La Place (Scène Et Choeur)A3 Choeur Des Gamins (Scène)A4 Choeur Des CigarièresA5 HabaneraA6 Carmen Sur Tes Pas (Scène)
