Maria Callas - Anna Bolena Mad Scene SAX 2320 1958
My absolute favourite recording of Maria, completely stunning, epic and marvelous! From SAX 2320. Some light pops and light distortion towards the end, but excellent for a 50 year old ebay purchase :)
Images from the 1957 and 1958 live performances at La Scala.

English Translation
Anna

— bedeck my head with my crown of roses.

Chorus
Oh, dark memory!
Anna
Oh... who weeps?
