Opis

In perceiving Callas and her voice in a context beyond the limitations of the genre, this book uses the album as a tool for a broader discourse about the cultural history of the voice--in film and in relation to feminism, politics, and violence.

Recenzje

Even if you've never heard of the 1954 Maria Callas album, even if you neither know nor care about her or opera, this book is entrancing. Los Angeles Review of Books
