Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland, two of the greatest sopranos of all time, completely revolutionized the art of the coloratura - executing the most difficult passagework not only with phenomenal agility, but with dramatic presence previously unparalled - each presenting astonishing contrasts to pre-conceived notions about how a coloratura should sound. Presented here is the classic late 1950's album, the Art of the Coloratura, featuring the two greatest exponents of the art form, each with a distinctly individual approach. All selections newly remastered.
