This is another great version of Callas's < >. Compare to EMI version, Callas is more outburst and powerful! According to Grammophon publications article(and information written on the back of this CD set), "Callas herself said to have commented of her part in the last act; "It is all there for anyone who cares to understand or wishes to know what I was about."...she turns what can be a maudlin act into real tragedy; that is the alchemy of a great artist...She completely identifies herself with Gioconda's fate throughout, depicting the unhappy ballad-singer's love, hate, jealousy and eventual magnanimity with absolute conviction and without a trace of artifice." Get it and listen to it!
