The Paris recital given by Callas at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in 1963 — an unusual, largely French program in which the singer ventures into the repertoire of Berlioz, Bizet, Gluck, Gounod and Massenet.

A precious recording: late Callas, voice scarred but dramatic intelligence intact, illuminating a repertoire she rarely performed on stage. Restoration 2023 led by Tom Volf for the centenary.
