CELLETTI p.688; American Record Guide May/June 2003 Vol.66 No.3 pp.54-63
Comments:- The date of this recording given in House of Opera's online catalog, 28 July 2001, seems to be incorrect, as according to «Opera 2001 - Annuario EDT/CIDIM dell' Opera Lirica in Italia» there was no performance of this work in Bologna on that day. A comparison of the cast list give by House of Opera with that given in the latter work suggests that the recording is of the performance on 6 May 2001 (see also OPERA July 2001 pp.855-857; OPÉRA INTERNATIONAL No.259 juillet-aoüt 2001 p.37)
