A true Callas cornucopia, this 70-CD set gathers together everything Maria Callas ever recorded in the studio. That's 26 complete operas (four of which are studio repeats), plus the complete studio recitals made during the legendary soprano's recording career, which lasted from 1949-69. The bonus CD-ROM contains libretti and translations in English, French and German, plus a Callas photo library, while remastered treats include Callas's first recital recording, originally made for the Fonit-Cetra label and featuring arias by Wagner and Bellini. – Barnes & Noble
Opera singers come and go, but just a few – the legends – live on. And Maria Callas was the greatest legend of them all, though not just for the wonder of her voice. She changed the way people thought about opera, but she also became famous as the glamorous celebrity who fell in love with Aristotle Onassis, leaving her elderly husband to live with him on his yacht Christina and enjoy the high life with the international jet set.
Assembled to mark the centenary of Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013), this collection of recordings, produced over a period of nearly 60 years, is unrivalled in its scope.

Au mur infranchissable qui sépare l'homme de Dieu, il y a une seule fenêtre : le sexe. Elle a été ouverte dans la chair de l'homme par Dieu lui-même ; c'est avec la chair qu'il l'a fermée de nouveau, et c'est uniquement au travers de cette chair transparente, comme la vitre immaculée d'une fenêtre, qu'il nous est donné d'accéder à une vision de l'au-delà…
