エレナ・スリオティスのノルマにデル＝モナコのポリオーネ、コッソットのアダルジーザと実力者揃いのキャスト。特に『清らかな女神よ』をはじめ、スリオティスとコッソットの二重唱、第一幕フィナーレの主役三人による三重唱など、どれを取っても絶品といって良い美しさである。『ノルマ』と言えばマリア･カラスがまず浮かぶが、これもそれに負けない素晴らしさをもっていると思う。ただし、スタジオ録音なので「最高!」ではなく「すばらしい」にした。この作品はぜひライブ録音かDVDで楽しみたい。

A notorious recording, and very seldom heard. Souliotis is in good voice here, better than del Monaco, while Cossotto outsings both of them. The score is heavily cut (Oroveso is almost completely excised) and slightly rearranged, while Varviso takes an exciting verismo approach. Not for purists, but wonderfully entertaining. Track and cast listings are in roman characters.

This 1967 recording, manufactured by the Japanese Decca branch and available in Japan only, is a true CD rarity. It comes in a slim CD package with the front cover very much in the Decca Grand Opera style (with the original LP cover photo of Suliotis), even though it does not formally belong to the Grand Opera line (mid-price). The modest booklet is entirely in Japanese, the track list in Japanese/Italian. As I am able to decipher, the Japanese text in the booklet consists of some very brief liner notes,
