Great voice, weird recording

"I think in this early Aliberti recording, she was experimenting with what she can do with her amazingly soft and delicate beautiful voice. The recording is weird in that it seems like she misses and jumbles some notes and sings some of them off key. I think she was just so focused on her artistic interpretation of the music and creating her unique voice that maybe she wasn't fully paying attention? Although it is a recording, so maybe she liked it enough to not have re recorded what seems like was a mistake. However, with that said, you can already hear her unique manipulation of notes and soft delicate pastel like voice that she will continue to use with utmost perfection, respect, full of emotion and integrity to every note. I think every post Callas singer in their early career probably most likely tries to imitate Callas in one form or another, so accusing her of trying to imitate Callas is unfair and dumb."
