Recordings of Otello by Giuseppe Verdi are surveyed in the following publications:-
High Fidelity January 1960 Vol.10 No.1 p.101: December 1963 Vol.13 No.12 p.90; HARRIS p.205; Opera on Record p.319; CELLETTI p.963; Opera on CD (1) p.59 (2) p.66 (3) p.73; L'Avant Scène Opéra No 3 p.117, No.218 p.92; The Opera Quarterly Vol.4 No.2 Summer 1986 p.49; MET p.654; MET(VID) p.406; PENGUIN p.493; BBC Music Magazine April 1994 p.56; Stereophile December 1994 p.206; Répertoire No.86 décembre 1995 p.9; GIUDICI p.1027 (2) p.1660; Opéra International No.263 décembre 2001 p.16; l'opera (Milano) Anno XV N.156 dicembre 2001 p.124
Comments:- *The LPs issued on the HRE label are advertized in GRAMOPHONE April 1984 p.1239 and listed in ARS ANTIQUA'S list No.240, August 2001 p.35 (no.2442), while the CDRs issued by House of Opera are included in the list of new releases added to their website in December 2003 «03/12/22». The recording is presumably of a performance at Covent Garden in May 1974 (HOO gives 17 May) where 7 performances were given with the above cast except that Rodrigo was sung by Adrian De Peyer in only six of them (see OPERA October 1974 p.913). I do not know if he sang in the performance(s) in these recordings. Verdi's Disco gives Leslie Fyson (normally a baritone or bass) as singing this role (http://verdisdisco.de - hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM). As far as I can ascertain none of the performances was broadcast, so the recording would presumably have been made «in house». The performance on 1 May 1974 is reviewed in OPERA July 1974 pp.639-640
