I have this duet album as an LP and it's absolutely beautiful, with a crisp, warm and gorgeous sound. It's been remastered as a CD, available for purchase on such sites as Amazon.com. In that album, Caballe and Verrett also sing the Confrontation Duet from Anna Bolena and Aida., and it's riveting. Their golden, lyric voices is pure vocal splendor. This is absolutely sublime. What fabulous singers Caballe and Verrett were
I love Callas's Norma. Its dramatic and expressive. But so far as duets go, blend, harmony, mellifluousity, timing, perfection, poignancy, ...YES! this IS IT! Price and Horne sound great together also.
this cd is awesome. i love their semiramide duet. its better than the horne & caballe duet. my fave piece in that whole cd is the duet from La Gioconda.
This is my favorite track on this CD. Their voices are perfectly synchronized and blended—unlike those of 27 other pairings I won't name. To those who find any fault with any of this version I say, "If I agreed with you, then we'd both be wrong."
I love Caballé's Norma. She sounds warm, loving, human, maternal—a good, generous woman torn between love and duty, and longing for the simple happiness she cannot have. Her Norma is Amina's older and less fortunate sister. Callas's Norma is unforgettably complex and majestic, but Caballé's is no less Bellinian, and we are fortunate to have splendid recordings of both.
@cdivo39 R u nuts! Callas and Stignani own this duet, even callas and Simionato reign over the rest.. this is the third best.. all because Caballe is the only norma that rival Callas.
@cdivo39 people write about these beautiful singers, yet do not know their English grammar! I wish people would say (you're... you are) not (your) which are completely different meanings.
I am so glad you posted this. Absolutely beautiful. I have this album "Great Operatic Duets", with Caballe and Verrett at their peaks. I can't recommend it enough.
I love this and have done for 30 years. Beautiful singing by both singers

Qué belleza de música y qué dúo de voces. Caballé, un cristal transparente y Verrett, suave terciopelo. La mejor versión que he escuchado.
