葛貝洛娃是出生於捷克的女高音，1968年登台演唱時一鳴驚人，從此在世界花腔女高音樂壇立下了永恆之地位，盛名至今不衰。
本片是她1993年3月28日，於東京山多利音樂廳，為紀念她個人從事歌唱藝術生渥25年，所舉辦的音樂會實況錄製的專輯。在葛貝洛娃純熟的演唱技巧、美如天籟的音質，以及獨特的詮釋，使得在場的每一位樂友聽得為之動容，如果以「大珠小珠落玉盤落玉盤」我想也不能形容葛洛貝娃的歌藝於萬一。
同時本片現場錄音的音響效果之佳，亦達到發燒級天碟的參考標準，也得到世界各音樂、音響雜誌的一致推薦。如果第一次購買聲樂CD，本片是很好的參考對象，聽到她絕美的歌聲，您才會了解什麼才是世界上最美的人聲，音響論壇總編 劉漢盛先生形容為：像夜鶯一般美的花腔女高音，也是女高音錄音與演唱的典範。

* Luciano Pavarotti sings the role of the Duke of Mantua, a part in which he is unsurpassed; Edita Gruberova, internationally acclaimed as one of the greatest coloratura sopranos of our time, sings the role of Gilda; and Ingvar Wixell, a superlative baritone, sings a captivating Rigoletto.
