Comments:- *Recording of a performance at the MET (March 2007). The CDRs issued by Celestial Audio are listed in their online catalogue as new issues October 2007. Here the recording is described as being �not a broadcast recording�. Celestial Audio has also issued what appears to be a recording of a different performance with a similar cast (CA 633) which is listed separately. According to the online performance chronology of The Metropolitan Opera (hyperlimk in CLORLINK.HTM) Krassimira Stoyanova and Jonas Kaufmann sang in five performances of La traviata in March 2007 (7, 16, 20, 28, 31). James Courtney sang the role of Marquis d'Obigny on 7, 16 (as listed above) and Thomas Hammons sang on 20, 28, 31. I do not know which sings in the recording issued by Celestial Audio as CA 641.
