  We examine the extension of the Klebanov-Witten gauge/gravity correspondence
away from the low-energy conformal limit, to a duality involving the full,
asymptotically Ricci-flat background describing three-branes on the conifold.
After a discussion of the nature of this duality at the string theory level
(prior to taking any limits), we concentrate on the intermediate-energy regime
where excited string modes are negligible but the branes are still coupled to
the bulk. Building upon previous work, we are able to characterize the
effective D3-brane worldvolume action in this regime as an IR deformation of
the Klebanov-Witten N=1 superconformal gauge theory by a specific
dimension-eight operator. In addition, we compute the two-point functions of
the operators dual to all partial waves of the dilaton on the
conifold-three-brane background, and subject them to various checks.
