Comments:- Recording of a performance in Lisbon (27 March 1958). See the ARSC Journal 1987 Vol.19 No.2-3 pp.54-61. According to Robert E. Seletzky EMIs 1997 remastering �is dominated by shrill upper-frequency distortion and accentuated tape hiss - in short, unlistenable�. According to Nuno Miguel Marqques (Opera-l Sun,17 Mar 2002 10:38:50) a version of this recording made from the tapes in possession of Radio Difusão Portuguesa was issued on CD in a limited edition in December 2000 in Portugal. The recording issued by Premiere is a copy of this and that on The Mike Richter CD-ROM is a also a �copy�, but in MP3 format. Mike Richter has published a very interesting history of the various versions of this recording on ARSCLIST@sun8.LOC.GOV

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

Comments:- The �foyer� CDs are a recording of a performance at La Scala (16 March 1972; see OPERA, June 1972 p.549 ), but according to Sergio Segalini (OPÉRA INTERNATONAL novembre 1997 No.218 p.24) the Legato CDs (labeled as being conducted by Gavazzeni, although the year is given as 1973) are in fact a recording of a performance in Genoa (1975). Details of this are listed separately. It is possible (probable?) that the recording on the LPs from HRE is also of the performance in Genoa in view of the fact that Legato Classics were the successor to HRE
