CD Reviews

Very hard to get

Queen Margo | Arlington | 10/10/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I chased this recording for several years before I finally got it from overseas. It is extremely hard to get.

Zinka Milanov was a celebrated Gioconda of her time and she owned the role. Critics have griped about her and di Stefano being "past their prime" when they recorded this, but I have yet to hear someone else do a better job.

Grab it while you can. As they say -- they don't make them like that any more."

Archival Performances

Vince D | Hudson, NY | 10/01/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"High Def and Digital performances of various classical works are stunning for the listener without a doubt. Sometimes, however, archival performances stand out for the special performances by the artists and the sound must be excused. The restoration of Ponchielli's LA GIOCONDA presents the best vocal presentations and is now enhanced by best in modern sound production. This late 1950's recording will stand the test of time."
