Album Description
This historic 1975 recording with the great Montserrat Caballé presents the first revival of this once-popular Donizetti opera, which had been unperformed for over seventy years! In the mid-19th century it was one of Donizetti's most-produced operas, surpassing even Lucia di Lammermoor in number of performances. Gemma is one of the most taxing soprano roles ever written. Live performance, Naples, December 12, 1975
