专辑简介：
小丑里戈莱托的女儿吉尔达是威尔第最难把握的角色之一。在歌剧的过程中，她从一个天真的年轻女子，很容易被一个能说会道的人引诱，变成了一个典型的浪漫主义牺牲女英雄。玛丽亚·卡拉斯在她的职业生涯中只扮演过两次这个角色：一次是1952年在墨西哥举行的一系列音乐会上，一次是三年后与她的老搭档朱塞佩·迪·斯蒂法诺（Giuseppe Di Stefano）和蒂托·戈比（Tito Gobbi）一起录制的。这一历史版本是任何意大利歌剧唱片的绝对标准。
The character Gilda, daughter of the jester Rigoletto, is one of the most difficult Verdi roles to grasp. During the course of the opera she evolves from a naive young woman, easily seduced by a smooth talker, to a typically Romantic sacrificial heroine. Maria Callas performed this role only twice in her career: once on stage during a series of concerts in Mexico in 1952, and once on record three years later with her usual partners Giuseppe Di Stefano and Tito Gobbi. This historical version is an absolute standard of any Italian opera discography.
