This third Verdi collection was the last recital that Callas recorded, over an extended period between 1964 and 1969. Arias from operas in her stage repertoire - Aida, Un ballo in maschera, I vespri siciliani and Il trovatore - were complemented by numbers from more rarelyheard works from Verdi's 'galley years': When five of the tracks from this recital were originally released as Callas by Request, Gramophone admired the way: 'Callas revealed her matchless command of line, verbal declamation and musical insight.'
'I love these recordings: for Callas' command of line, of declamation, of rhythm, of dramatic and musical sense. Callas at her very finest!' (Gramophone)
