Comments:- The recording issued by «Living Stage» and by «The Opera Lovers» appears to be of a performance in the Teatro Margherita, Genova (March 1972). See OPERA August 1972 pp.744-745. It is attributed by both to Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, but this cannot be correct as Andrea Chénier was not performed at La Fenice in 1972. See «Il Teatro La Fenice - Cronologia degli Spettacoli 1938-1991». Some of the information about the cast as listed above comes from the review in OPERA and may be incorrect as the performance reviewed may not be the performance recorded. The CDRs issued by Premiere are listed in «New Releases on CD, Fall 2005» Dated Nov.16 2005. Here the recording is attributed correctly.

Comments:- The CDR issued by Premiere is listed in their printed catalogue as being «New» in «Fall 2001» and is attributed to Philadelphia (2 March 1972). The partial cast is given as «Tucker/Kabaiwanska/MacNeil/Cossa» but according to Frank Hamilton's Chronolgy of Opera Performances in Philadelphia (hyperlink in CLORLINK.HTM) Pagliacci was never performed in Philadelphia with this cast. The only performance that I have been able to find with the four singers mentioned was at the MET on 24 June 1970 and I have provisionally assumed that it is this performance that was recorded. As it was not broadcast the recording must have been made «in-house».

Comments:- Recording of a performance at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. 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». Here the date of the performance recorded is given as 16 June 1971, but according to the «Opera Calender Abroad» in OPERA June 1971 p.524 a performance of Manon Lescaut was not programmed for that day. However, there was to have been a performance on 26 June 1971. The performance on 25 February 1971 is reviewed in OPERA May 1971 p.401 and the cast listed above is taken from here. Therefore it may be incorrect.

Comments:- The recording on the CDRs issued by The Opera Lovers is probably of a performance at the MET on 11 (or 8) October 1971. The CDRs are listed in their online catalogue where the date of the performance recorded is given as «11.11.71», but Don Carlo was not performed at the MET on that day. As none of the performances of Don Carlo at the MET in 1971 was broadcast the recording was probably made «in-house»,
