Maria Callas "Complete Studio Recordings". Please note this box is new & unplayed but the box shows some slight marking/damage on the box (please see pictures).
69 CD super-deluxe box set containing 26 complete operas and 13 recital albums in original jackets. Full Libretti and Sung-texts on CD-ROM + 132 page hardback book. Although Maria Callas died, aged just 53, as long ago as September 1977, she remains an icon: as a supreme singing actress; as a celebrity, and as a woman of great style and elegance.
With the release of CALLAS REMASTERED: The Complete Studio Recordings, opera lovers will now be able to hear her as never before. Warner Classics is now the guardian of Maria Callas' official recorded catalogue, and this 69-CD deluxe box set contains all the studio recordings that she made for both EMI/Columbia and the Italian label Cetra between 1949 and 1969. Each recording has been painstakingly remastered in 24-bit/96kHz sound at Abbey Road Studios, using the original tapes, and the entire collection has been curated with the greatest of care. The 26 complete operas and 13 recital albums contained in the box will also be made available as separate releases. Conceived as a true collector's edition, CALLAS REMASTERED presents each individual opera or recital CD in its original artwork. It also contains a 132-page hardback book with essays, a biography and chronology, rarely-seen photos and reproductions of revealing letters written by Maria Callas, Walter Legge and other EMI executives. The opera librettos and aria texts are provided on a CD-ROM. 1949: Maria Meneghini Callas Sings Arias From Tristano E Isotta, Norma, I Puritani 1952: La Gioconda 1953: Lucia Di Lammermoor 1953: I Puritani 1953: Cavalleria Rusticana 1953: Tosca 1953: La Traviata 1954: Norma 1954: Pagliacci 1954: La Forza Del Destino 1954: Il Turco In Italia 1954: Maria Meneghini Callas Sings Operatic Arias By Puccini 1954: Maria Meneghini Callas Sings Operatic Arias 1955: Callas At La Scala (Her Great Opera Revivals: Medea, La Vestale, La Sonnambula) 1955: Madama Butterfly 1955: Aida 1955: Rigoletto 1956: Il Trovatore 1956: La Bohème 1956: Un Ballo In Maschera 1957: Il Barbiere Di Siviglia 1957: La Sonnambula 1957: Turandot 1957: Manon Lescaut 1957: Medea 1958: Callas Portrays Verdi Heroines: Lady Macbeth, Abigaille, Elvira, Elisabetta Di Valois 1958: Mad Scenes From Anna Bolena, Hamlet, Il Pirata 1959: Lucia Di Lammermoor 1959: La Gioconda 1960: Norma 1961: Maria Callas Sings Great Arias From French Operas 1963: Callas À Paris (More Arias From French Opera) 1963-4: Maria Callas Sings Mozart, Beethoven, Weber Arias 1963-4: Callas Sings Verdi Arias (Aroldo.Otello) 1963-4: Callas Sings Rossini And Donizetti Arias 1964: Carmen 1964-5: Tosca 1964-9: Arias From Aida, Attila, Un Ballo In Maschera, I Lombardi, I Vespri Siciliani, Il Corsaro, Il Trovatore 1953-69: The Callas Rarities Libretti (The Complete Studio Recordings).
