Mitch Friedfeld asks about EMI's Callas/Bergonzi/Gobbi conducted by Pretre

Well, I'm afraid that Callas herself didn't "receive" it.  This version
was recorded between December 3, 1964 and January 19, 1965.  I don't know
if Christmas Holidays had some to do with this but, believe me, her voice
doesn't seems "shot" at all here.
