For millions of people, the great soprano Maria Callas (1923-1977) remains the focus of such unparalleled fascination that there is still no higher praise for singers than "...the best since Callas." In this biography, Callas' career is brought brilliantly to life, from her transformation from a chubby, painfully shy girl into a magnificent, celebrated soprano, to her conflict with her larger-than-life image. Huffington makes this struggle, which was at the center of her life, also the center of the biography. Using a wealth of previously unpublished material and numerous first-hand interviews, Huffington documents Callas' interminable conflict with her mother, her deeply emotional relationship with her voice, the gradual unraveling of her first marriage, her passionate love affair with of Aristotle Onassis, her agony and humiliation at his leaving her, and her secret abortion.… (altro)

Maria Callas door Arianna Huffington

Ik kende Callas een beetje, ik las al een boek van Huffington, daarom kon ik deze biografie van een geweldig groot artiest niet laten liggen. Voor elke fan van Callas is dit boek een regelrechte schatkamer. Voor mij was het iets te gedetailleerd in datums, feiten, opera-details. Ik had graag een meer verhalend boek gelezen.
Huffington heeft geweldig werk afgeleverd, geen detail uit de carrière van Callas blijft onbesproken. En met de inzage van de 27 jaar durende correspondentie tussen Maria en haar peetvader Leo Lantzounis komt Maria voor Arianna én voor ons pas echt tot leven.

Maria heeft het niet makkelijk als kind en zal het later als vrouw ook nooit makkelijk hebben. Ze worstelt met wrok en schuldgevoelens ten opzichte van haar moeder, ze is verslaafd aan werken omdat dat haar een vlucht uit de werkelijkheid biedt en ze is en blijft voortdurend op zoek naar liefde en bevestiging. Ze zoekt wanhopig iets/iemand die het gat kan dichten dat vanaf haar geboorte in haar is gegroeid.

Roem, geld, erkenning, niets is genoeg, niets is voldoende om haar echt gelukkig te maken. Zelfs de liefde van haar eerste man Meneghini, noch haar relatie met Onassis kunnen het verdriet in Maria niet stelpen.
Hoe hard ze ook werkt om de grootste te worden, diep vanbinnen blijft ze klein. Door dit boek zie je de grootsheid van Maria als artiest, maar zie je ook het kleine meisje dat daar achter schuilt. En dat is een mooie verdienste van Huffington. ( )

This was my mother's purchase--she was a big Callas fan. I would become one later, after I was exposed to opera for a music appreciation course required for college graduation. I think being a fan of her as a singer, rather than a voyeuristic wish to learn all the ins and outs of the Callas/Onasis/Jackie love triangle helps a lot in enjoying this book. There's a lot here about her performances and her voice, her musicianship and her art. But that is a lot of what I did love in this book--that it didn't skimp on that and that Arianna Strassinopoulos wrote of her subject with insight, respect, even admiration for the girl from Astoria Queens who grew up to be a famous, glamorous opera star--in fact many consider her the greatest soprano of the 20th century. There's much more to her than the woman who was the rival of Jackie O. ( )
