An early live radio broadcast of Virginia Zeani, from 1955, is now posted. She matured into a famous Aida and Elisabetta and it is fascinating to hear her in this aria, using her generous voice with great delicacy.
Despite the uneven quality of the material, there is no mistake about the great coloratura voice; such silky smooth quality. The piece is so wonderfully sung.
Great performance! Doesn't matter the quality because the document is so precious... I did never hear any live testament of Edita's Gilda, and it is so nice! Thanks for posting.
Great stuff, but I still prefer the 1 she did with Pavarotti. Suffice it to say that her voice sounds more matured and smoother here. Thanx for posting this video, she is definately my favourite soprano of all time.
ESTOY ENAMORADO!! JAJA

I am a total fan of Edita. Even if she better in other roles, her Gilda is so young, so soft... very nice.

While I feel Anna Moffo can't be bested in "Caro Nome" Gruberova comes very, very close!

She is the best Gilda! There is a youtube video of her in the movie which is great, too! :D Eglise Gutierrez is very good, as well.
