This recording is reviewed in the following publications:-

Opera Quarterly - Vol.7 No.1 Spring 1990 pp.157-159 [WA2]

Opéra International - novembre 1996 No.207 p.58

------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the MET (17 March 1956). A recording of «La forza del destino» is listed on the on-line catalogue of «The Opera Lovers» with the same date as this recording (17.03.56) with the conductor given as Mitropoulos. This seems to be an error as the «MET Annals» gives Stiedry. Mitropoulos never conducted «La forza del destino» at the MET.
